Howard and Annie, Professional Flower Arrangers

The yellow goes nicely here, but you

might want to rethink the greenery mom.

Howard - did you pee on this????

Who, me? I hates it when Annie is in charge. Sheesh.

AnnieBee Travels to FreddyBurg

This here is Annie - mom and dad took me to FreddyBurg last week. We left
the stinky boys at home, out of the public eye, where they belong.

This is my Dad, he carries me around and does my bidding.
He's a big guy, but, trust me, he's wrapped around my littlest pinky toe.

This is me thinking what it would be like to be a city dog like
my heart-throb Bajas. I think I could get used to the bright lights!

One should always peruse potential purchases carefully in order
to assess how they will fit into the current AnnieBee Collections.

I arrived at mommy's art show in Freddyburg fashionably late
and was adored by all my peeps. I take my job as Activity
Director at Flower Mound Art Studio very seriously.

Did you really think I would leave the store without a toy? Daddy had to
pick me up and run me over the scanner because I refused to release
this acquisition for checkout. Can you blame me? He SQUEEAKSSS!!

Howie Goes Camo

Howard goes camo....

Mom, There Must Be Some Mistake

I should be wearing the white hat. I believe
this here color belongs to Howie Mom!

Annie is Glad Bajas Adores Her!

My Valentine's Card from Bajas

He made this one, too, obvious

evidence he adores me!!!!

Dear Bajas my honey pot puggy from way across the world:

Thank you for the lovely Valentine's cards. I am blowing you kisses from across Texas and the big ole pond all the way to you! Would you believe my mommy had the nerve to leave town on Valentine's day, knowing that I was bound to have important packages arriving on the uber holiday of LOVE??? *steam comes out of Annie's ears*

I gave her forgivey kisses in exchange for second brekkies.

Thank you again cuteypie!
xoxoxo

Ruby the Divine Dachshund In

Her Best Faux Fur in Pink

Hi Puggy Peeps - this here is AnnieBelly! *blows kisses*

I loaned my fav faux furs to my weeniepal Ruby last week and doesn't she look divine. She wanted to borrow my matching 38 carat pink diamond but a gal's gotta draw the line somewhere, right? I mean the sparkleys belong to Annie and I'm just not real good at sharing the good stuff. Anyhoo, say howdy to my pal RubyKins! She bosses around her brother Rocky and her two lab brothers, too, who live in terror of her very presence. See why I admire her so???

Wordless Wednesday

Remembering Winnie Wiggles - Heaven's Jiggliest Angel

Winnie Wiggles, Howard's Big Sister

Photo taken Oct 21, 2007

Today is the second anniversary of the death of the little heartbeat at my feet, Winnifred Wigglepants. She was my velcro pug and my love, and I miss her every moment of every day.

This is her diary entry on dogster the day she passed:

Winnie died this morning very early while she was in the care of the tech at the ICU. I think she was very tired. She was my brave girl and was such a big part of our lives. Please say a prayer that she is comforted now.

She loves breakfast-time so much. I hope that she is enjoying scrambley egg and a bowl of delicious kibble this morning and making the angels laugh with her roo roo roo morning song and breakfast time spinning.

Who will wash Howie's face now? Who will sit on my feet when I am on the 'puter? Who will keep dad company in the kitchen when he is cooking? Our little one with such a big heart is gone, and it all happened so quickly and unexpectedly.

We were so blessed to have her with us for just 2 short years. What an extraordinary little dog she was.

I told her last night it was okay to go - she was sitting up in her oxygen cage at the ICU for 2 days, waiting for me. She always sat and waited for me. The moment she laid down was when she passed.

Please hug your babies for me today and say a prayer for angel Winnie. She was cherished.

Heavenly Missive - Tribute to Wiggles

Whippy creme and scrambled eggs are

Way up here in Heaven

In case you too

See only blue and wonder what you're gettin

They're other things like angel wings

With fur that's never sheddin'.

There's no disease or achin knees

and wrinkles smooth and silken

I fall asleep and dream of you

and times when we were given

to sprint and run and tug on toys

and dash to mom for lovin.

Tonight no tears oh Howie dear

because I have been taken

I’ll kiss your cheek and whiskers sweet

And heal the ache within you.

The pain it fades and goes away

And even loss feels lighter

When time moves on then pushes back

All that separates us.

Fatties in Fetties - GQ Pug Edition

Java in his preppy sweater
vest from Aunty Melissa and
Cousin Emmypants

Howie sez Annie looks like an
overripe tomato in her new fettie
but Annie sez she is Da Bomb.

Howie aka GQ Puggy

The three fatties in their fetties from
Aunty Melissa and Cousin EmmyPants

The most exciting prezzies arrived at the Medina Foster Home for Wayward Pugs! Bran new sweater vests from Aunty Melissa and Cousin Emmy of PugNotes just in time to ring in the New Year! Howie enjoyed a special bonus moment of tearing up the tissue wrapping. Melissa of Pugnotes creates amazing designs and critter art and we have loved and adored her and her Activity Director and Number One Studio Assistant Emmy-Pants fur just about furever.

What a wonderful gift, we could not believe our eyes! Annie was feeling especially cute in her red outfit and immediately began shopping for matching shoes. Howie quickly discovered that wearing a fabulous blue sweater attracted treats from admiring hoomans and Java gave his beautiful orange sweater three toes up and circle snaps shortly before falling into a post-brekkies coma on his favorite pillow snuggled in the warm, soft outfit from his Aunty.

Thank you so much Melissa for these beautiful sweater vests! The fatties never looked so good!

Annie's Early Christmas Prezzy

This here is Anniebelly!

*blows kisses* Do you notice anything different about me?? Besides the fact I am wearing my adorable Christmas coat I mean. *bats eyelashes* Look closely, do you see anything PINK with HEARTS on it??? Something that might make a little puggy girl's heart go pitty pat if she were to receive it in the MAIL from her hunky hunky puggy boyfriend Bajas???

Bajas Santa Puggy

Well if THAT doesn't make your heart go pitty pat, here is something that will. Have you ever seen such a dreamboat Santy? This here is my boyfriend Bajas from way across the world. He sent me this sweet new prezzy collar and a card expressing his love and affection for me. And who can blame him? I am, after all, puggy-cuteness in every way! *Howie makes gagging motion with his paw*

Thank you Bajas Hunny Bunny for my howliday gift, I love you sweetie! I will airmail you a little kissy as a reward. xoxoxo

Thinking About an Angel at Christmas

Winnifred Wigglepants

The Jiggliest Angel

This week 2 years ago was the last good week little Winnie Wiggles had during her three month fight with GME encephalitis. Winnie was my heart, my velcro girl, and my best friend. My fondest hope is that I will see her again someday.

Ony the Pug - One Step at a time

Ony and Melissa, his foster mom

From Melissa, Ony's Foster Mom:

"Ony grows stronger every day and makes me realize that

hope is always there and to never give up.

I'm not giving up on him no matter what

because he has not given up on me."

Ony the Pug is 7 years old and has a hard time walking and standing up. Ony's family said they were moving and could not take him with them. He came to Dallas Fort Worth Pug Rescue about a week ago and was taken to our neurologist's office for a myelogram and a CT scan Wednesday. This will tell us if surgery will help him.

Dr. Ducote and her staff were encouraged with the progress Ony has made under his foster mom Melissa's care. He is now standing and walking - or trying to walk. Previously, he was incontinent and now is letting Melissa know when he needs to go out. She carries him out to the grass and he will relieve himself and walk over to the edge of her patio to be let back in. Melissa says he can maneuver on grass better than floors or concrete.

Ony is another little soul who gives those around him courage. We are going to do everything we can to help him get back his quality of life and find a loving home. We are so thankful to Melissa for the love she is giving him in his foster home.

A Handsome Cheesy Pug

Java Cheesy

Main Street Vet Clinic

Flower Mound, Texas

This here is Java Cheesy

I don't get to write often because I live with Annie and Howie and well, need I say more?? Yesterday I went to see Dr. Carter and got my teeth cleaned. This picture was taken by one of my adoring lady friends at the vet. Notice my minty clean breath? *breathes into your face with his minty clean breath*

Now I can blow kisses to all my honeys without fear of embarrassing bad breath. While I was asleep, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman tickled my ears and found some cheese growing germs in there. They gave me a shot in my bee-hind and some pills. Imagine my worry to learn that my essential cheesiness could be taken away just like that? But Mom said that she is confident that after all this medicine is gone, my cheese will return again, just like the sunshine.

*eyes droop* Well footheater friend is calling and my tum is full of Cowboy Cookout stew. We'll talk more after naptime, I promise.

Anniebelly aka Santa's Little Helper

This here is Anniebelly. I'm helping out around the

house today with the howliday undecorating activities.

This is little bear is soft and just the right

size for AnnieChewin.

If I only had thumbies, I could

free it from this here tree!

I suppose I'll just have to be happy with

chewing on it from a standing position.

*dramatic sigh*

It's just so hard to walk by without giving

it a good tug, though.

This is me with my Helpful Face on. Mommy bought this little

bear to help out children in emerging nations affected by HIV/AIDS.

Check out its home at The Mother Bear Project! Thank you Aunty Melissa and

EmittPants for all you do to help little peoples of the world.
