Tattle Tale Tuesday

2012-01-31T00:01:00.000-05:00

My mom is a slacker. She hasn't been commenting on my fellow pug's blogs, she hardly posts anything to our Pug Group on Facebook. She leaves Lucky and I alone all day, comes home for dinner and then leaves AGAIN! I think I need to trade my mom in for a better model. Any takers?

Random Monday

2012-01-30T00:01:00.000-05:00

Lucky is truly Queen of the Hill.

The scarf Memere painted for PlusOne's Fundraiser. (If interested in something similar, let mom know.)

And humor to make Monday seem not so bad. :)

Easy Like Sunny Sunday Morning

2012-01-29T00:01:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was nice, sunny and warm, a welcome change from the yukky weather we've been having. Lucky and I enjoyed a sunbeam for as long as we could. Then we climbed on Mom, Dad and PlusOne, watched some Big Bang Theory and Justified! She is so psyched it's back! Lucky and I couldn't care less, as long as we have a lap to snuggle in.

Spoiled Saturday

2012-01-28T00:01:00.000-05:00

I am so glad we are spoiled pugs! We have had snow, freezing rain, slush, sleet and a whole bunch of yukky weather. But inside our house it is nice and warm, safe and sound and full of treats and love. We have Dad, mom and PlusOne to cuddle with us and pet us. This is totally the life.

PHOOEY!!!

2012-01-27T00:01:00.000-05:00

Yup. PHOOEY!

Truthful Thursday

2012-01-26T00:01:00.001-05:00

PlusOne read "The Hunger Games" a few years ago. Now that they are making a movie out of it, he said mom had to read it too. And fast, because he wants to see it right when it comes out. So mom is reading it. She is now on the second book, "Catching Fire".

It is not a happy book, it is awful and scary and makes mom crazy that something like this could happen. And mom has to finish it soon. She can't put it down. She has stayed up too late reading it. Then she has to read the third one, "Mockingjay". I think mom's going to be tired for the next few days. At least I can cuddle up to her while she reads.

Tattle Tale Tuesday

2012-01-24T00:01:00.001-05:00

I have a shocking Tattle Tale for you today. As you can see, even Lucky is stunned by it.

Mom doesn't really care about football. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I know, I know. You are SHOCKED and STUNNED by this fact. What can I say? She's my mom, and I love her, but, to not care about FOOTBALL? When we have the BEST QUARTERBACK EVER???? Sigh, I have to go hide my head in shame.

Dad Had Room For Us

2012-01-23T00:01:00.000-05:00

Dad had room for us in the recliner, as he watched his football game. Auntie and dad are happy because the boys named Pat are going to the Super Bowl. Lucky and I were happy because we were nice and warm next to dad!

More Snow?

2012-01-22T00:01:00.000-05:00

Yup, we had more snow. Not a lot, just a couple of inches. But we really d0n't need or want just a couple of inches every other day. Because then it adds up! I hear there's a big football game today. I wonder if there's room in dad's lap for Lucky and me.

Snoozing Saturday

2012-01-21T00:01:00.000-05:00

The best thing to be do in the best place to be!

Fabulous Friday

2012-01-20T00:01:00.000-05:00

Why is it fabulous, you ask?

Because we're going to have more SNOW! That's why. And yes, in case you were wondering, that IS sarcasm.

Fabric, Fabric Everywhere

2012-01-19T00:01:00.001-05:00

You know what was really no fun? Mom wouldn't let me roll around in it. Big Bummer!

Wordless Wednesday

2012-01-18T00:01:00.000-05:00

Worried

2012-01-17T00:01:00.000-05:00

PlusOne has his Algebra mid term today. Mom is worried. Oh, they've studied, done practice tests, gone over homework and problems together. And mom is so worried she wants to hurl. It's going to be a loooooong day.

Success - And A Dilemma

2012-01-16T00:01:00.000-05:00

Mom found the perfect color for the backing for her lap robe. She could have gone yellow green, which would have calmed the quilt done (not what mom wanted) or pink and made it BOING! Three guesses which one she picked.

Even Auntie approved.

Now, for the dilemma. She found this flimsy (an unfinished quilt top) in her quest to organize her fabrics (more on that later).

As you can see, it is Asian fabrics. Mom can make it 4' x 5' but she doesn't know what to do with it. Or who would want it.

Anyone got any ideas?

It's Done

2012-01-15T00:01:00.001-05:00

Mom received this commission last year. The top, of flimsy, is done. Today she is going to her and Auntie's favorite quilt shop for a backing. Mom wants a hot pink, but not too dark a hot pink. I just want to know when I can quality control it!

Mean Mom

2012-01-14T00:01:00.000-05:00

She brought home roast chicken and didn't SHARE. How much meaner can you get.

The Dreaded "S" Word

2012-01-13T00:01:00.000-05:00

That's right snow! Hey, let me back in the house! NOW!!!

I am not going out in that!!!

The Bathtub Is Safe Again

2012-01-12T00:01:00.000-05:00

Remember this guy? He plagued the bathtub for quite a while.

Until...

Peace was restored

Thanks to the Naval Force of PlusOne.

It is now safe for us to take a bath. (Why on God's green earth would I WANT to take a bath? In the middle of WINTER no less. I think school is getting to PlusOne.)

Wordless Wednesday

2012-01-11T00:01:00.000-05:00

Thank You Very Much

2012-01-10T00:01:00.000-05:00

Now Go HOME!

You may not know this, but today is the Presidential Primary. The First in the Nation Primary. The one where if you don't come in 1st or 2nd, you might as well quit because you won't get the nomination primary. (Yes, that is a true fact, honest! We NH'er's know how to pick them.)

So we have been deluged by media and candidates and ads and candidates and press and ads and you get the idea? Mom watched the news Friday night (her first mistake) and there were 6 political ads within 15 minutes. Sheesh, I tell you, sheesh! Have the primary, count the votes, then go home! But thank you for all the attention. Too bad it wasn't for someone really important, like me! lol Are you sick of hearing about New Hampshire yet? lol

Monday, Monday

2012-01-09T00:01:00.001-05:00

Auntie, Memere, Pepere, Ninja One, Little Ninja and Ninja One's wife came over last night for dinner. Mom made ribs, broccoli and mashed potatoes for dinner. For dessert there was two slices of toasted Angel Food cake with Lindt chocolate in between. Everyone was stuffed, except me. Though mom did give me some broccoli to keep me from climbing INTO the dishwasher to lick the plates clean (not that I didn't try).

Here is Memere and Little Ninja. Memere was enjoying him. So was mom. I am not allowed to bark at him. I still do, though, lol. After all, I have to live up to my name, don't I?

Surprised

2012-01-08T00:01:00.001-05:00

Yesterday was PlusOne's first People to People meeting. It was a social, to get to know the other delegates. PlusOne finished the Information Bingo first, and received a nice P2P sticker. It had questions like "owns a cat" (cat? cat I ask you? No pugs among the bunch of them, phooey) "has an older sister" or "eldest child". There were 25 of them. Mom always said PlusOne was a talker, and could talk to just about anyone. Well, that proved it.

Mom was surprised that some of the students hadn't started Fund Raising yet. Mom wants it over and done, paid for, with no more worrying. PlusOne said "that's because you're mom!" Yup, that's my mom. "Get it done now, no last minute fooling around for us!"

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Saturday - Cuddle Time

2012-01-07T00:01:00.000-05:00

Hey mom, where are you going? It's Saturday, time to cuddle! Get back here and cuddle with us!

My Handsome Boy

2012-01-06T00:01:00.000-05:00

Lucky here, and I want to show off my handsome boy in his tuxedo for the Christmas Concert. He plays cello.

Aren't I Lucky to have such a handsome boy? Who loves me more than anything?

I'm just saying.

I've got it made, don't I? ~Lucky

Two Dog Night Defined

2012-01-05T00:01:00.000-05:00

Not a Three Dog Night, because, of course, there are only two of us.

Three Dog Night
It refers to being cold. Often when ranchers or cowboys were out on the range they would have to sleep with their dogs to keep warm. A one dog night was a night when he had to share body heat with one dog, two dog night was two dogs and a three dog night was an extremely cold night where he would have to share body heat with three dogs. “how cold was it on your trip?” “It was a three dog night”.

Mom pulled the covers back on PlusOne yesterday morning to find Lucky stretched out against PlusOne's back and me curled up against his stomach. I think that is what you call a win win situation.

Here is why I am never taking a bath, ever again!

Yup, that's never with a capital "NEVER"! Can you blame me?

Back To Work

2012-01-02T00:01:00.000-05:00

This is how mom feels about going back to work today. I can't say I am thrilled about it either. No more cuddling and being under the blanket all day while she reads. No more getting out of bed really late. No more belly rubs and ear scratches all day long. Yeah, I'm not happy about it either.

Happy New Year

2012-01-01T00:01:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year, everyone. May 2012 be a bright year for us all!

Winning Wednesday

2011-12-28T00:01:00.002-05:00

Mom has counted all the tickets, put them in a tupperware container and PlusOne and Dad pulled the winners.

The winner the Lap Robe is (drum roll please) PlusOne's Science teacher! (boy is that weird!)

And the winner of the Queen size quilt is (bigger drum roll, please) Sammy, Miles, Nicholas and Billy SweetFeet Meezer!

Congrats to the winners and thanks to EVERYONE that purchased a ticket. You have helped PlusOne get HALF WAY to his goal of $7043.00! Thanks again, mom loves you all.

Merry Christmas

PlusOne Decorated The Christmas Tree

2011-12-24T00:01:00.001-05:00

Can you tell?

Yup, We're On Vacation

2011-12-23T00:01:00.000-05:00

Which is why mom has to make at least 16 more loaves of English Muffin Bread, more cookies and do her Christmas shopping.

I think I'll just sit here and take a nap.

Despite the fact that PlusOne caught me IN the dog bed WITH the bag of cookies IN my mouth, there is no photographic evidence to prove my guilt. Therefore, I am acquitted of all charges.

Busy Day

2011-12-19T00:01:00.000-05:00

1 Double batch of Russian Tea Cakes

1 Triple batch of Vanilla Chip Cookies

Mom has today off. What do you suppose my chances are of getting extra treats? Especially if she is supposed to bake?

Funny Things Bosses Say

2011-12-15T00:01:00.000-05:00

Mom's boss told her yesterday that she looked tired, was she well? When mom told the receptionist that she replied for mom "I'm not tired, I'm EXHAUSTED!"

Mom had three and a half hellacious months starting in August and work is finally slowing down enough that mom can get her desk clean by the time she goes home. She is off this Friday, and next Thursday she leaves work and won't go back til January. And she's not answering her phone, either. I foresee lots of snuggling coming up.

Wordy Wednesday

2011-12-14T00:01:00.000-05:00

Right here looks like a nice place to nap.

Yes, dad, you're awesome!

PlusOne decorating the tree??? at Aunties. Uhhh, maybe not.

This IS Great and Funny

2011-12-13T00:01:00.000-05:00

We thought this was great and wanted to share!

Go Find Another Seat, Dad

2011-12-12T00:01:00.000-05:00

You left this one. That means it's up for grabs and we grabbed it. Don't worry, Lucky, he won't move us.

Helping Mom Out

2011-12-09T00:01:00.000-05:00

Mom is the official seamstress for the studio. She sews all the patches on the uniforms for the students and she has been known to hem pants and sleeves. Here I am helping her out by "breaking in" the uniforms waiting to be sewn. Aren't I being helpful?

Thankful Thursday

2011-12-08T00:01:00.000-05:00

It was raining almost all day yesterday. Pouring rain, non-stop rain. Rain that makes us very thankful that we have nice warm houses to live in with people who love us. Yes, we are very thankful today.

Is this guy awesome or what? PlusOne showed it to mom and mom said she just had to share. I mean, come on, it's got cellos, light sabers, Darth Vader and music. (If only it had pugs, then it would be perfect.)

My Mother Is Weird

2011-12-01T00:01:00.000-05:00

Yes, I know what you are all thinking. Our mothers are weird as well. But my mom is REALLY weird.

Here she is trying to get me interested in her karate book. Like I care about a book? Even if it is four inches thick.

This book has every technique, form and set mom has learned at karate in the last nine and a half years. As you can see, it is color coded (yellow are techniques she learned as a beginner, green is intermediate, light brownish is Black Belt Prep and white are Black Belt techniques.) Then all her forms are color coordinated, light pink Short One and Short Two, dark pink Long One and Long Two. Fluorescent Green is Form Four, Pale Blue is Form Five, Bright yellow is Form Six, and then there are the sets. They are different colors as well. I am not even going to go into the cross references pages mom has. Suffice to say that the best scientists in the world have nothing on her for linking information.

So SEE! I told you my mom was really weird. But I love her anyway. Of course, she doesn't really need the karate. All she has to do is hit someone with the book. I bet she could knock someone out with it! lol

Rain Moving In

We may have a bit of rain today. It will still be warm (mid 50's) but what good is that if it is raining? Ack, winter's coming. Sigh. Mom! Cover us up!! We don't like being cold! Or wet, for that matter.

You Know

2011-11-28T00:01:00.000-05:00

It's hard to believe it's the end of November, what with this nice, sunny, mid 50's weather. I know, I know, as soon as I say that we are going to get a foot of snow. Bring it on. I got a warm house and lots of broccoli. And a dad who shovels a path for me in the backyard. Am I lucky or what!

Easy Like Sunday Morning

2011-11-27T00:01:00.000-05:00

It is supposed to be 57 degrees today and mostly sunny. The normal high for today is 44 degrees. Anyone up for a sunny Sunday pug pile?

Sunny Saturday

2011-11-26T00:01:00.001-05:00

We are supposed to have record highs today, and lots of sun. For the last weekend in November, I am not complaining!

The Aftermath

2011-11-25T00:01:00.001-05:00

I can't believe I ate the whole thing! (Not me, mom, dad, PlusOne, Auntie, Mr. Karate, Memere and Pepere and six others) Among other things, the family polished off TWO whole angel food cakes, sliced and toasted with chocolate between two pieces. Apparently it was yummy.

I, on the other hand, am looking forward to the broccoli that mom DIDN'T cook for Thanksgiving Dinner. MORE FOR MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Mom is mupsy. She is fighting a cold, and losing, and because she's sick she doesn't want to see Little Ninja and give it to him. She's worried about Little Ninja's mom, who had surgery for two herniated discs, and she's worried about a whole bunch of things, not the least of which is raising enough money for PlusOne to go on his grand adventure with People to People.

Boy, Lucky and I sure have our work cut out for us!

PS Mom and PlusOne passed their tests!

Stripe Test

2011-11-12T00:01:00.000-05:00

Today is mom and PlusOne's "Stripe Test" for karate. Both are prepared for it, but mom has been fighting a cold all week and it hit her yesterday, hard! So she left work early, started taking her Zicam and hit the bed. It was nice snuggling with mom early in the afternoon. Once she is done with her test, I think we will be doing more of it. Sweet!

This Tattle Tale is for all you puggies who think Lucky is so perfect!

Lucky and I both like the generic Triscuits, but Lucky goes NUTS over them. Mom and PlusOne left for karate Friday night and left the box out. Lucky and I got through the barricade and into the Triscuits. (Okay, the barricade was me.)

Dad came home, figured out what happened, cleaned up the box and the crumbs and went to sit at the computer. That's when Lucky decided to bring dad the BAG the Triscuits came in. Yes, you heard me right, Lucky carried the bag over to dad, IN HER MOUTH. My perfect sister. Yeah, right!

Math Monday

2011-11-07T00:01:00.001-05:00

So far we have raised $2510.00 for PlusOne's Student to Student trip. That leaves $3990.00 to go. Remember the raffle will go on for a while, so everyone will have a chance to buy a ticket. Memere's silk scarves are also for sale.

Memere is also going to start doing more flower silk scarves.

They are more expensive, but mom really loves them.

If you are interested in one of these, please let mom know. Thanks for all your support!
Love Lucky and Roxy

Why am I smiling, you ask? Well, thank you for asking, I would be happy to tell you.

Monday mom taught the Black Belt Prep class, all by herself, from start to finish. The Senior Instructor wanted the night off so mom volunteered to lead the class. Tonight mom found out that the Senior Instructor was told that mom did a good job. Everything seemed to flow smoothly and everything went well.

You can't see mom, but she is doing the happy dance in a really big way. I like it when mom is happy.

The House Is Ours Again

2011-11-03T00:01:00.000-04:00

Memere and Pepere finally got their power restored and went home yesterday afternoon, to sleep in their own bed, eat in their own kitchen and sit on their own sofa. It was fun having them over, and having PlusOne home for the past three days, but Lucky and I need a little quiet time from all the excitement of having all these extra people around. It's tough being a pug, you know, it takes hard work, plenty of treats and LOTS of rest.

Aren't they pretty?

They are $50.00 each (shipping included for the lower 48 states) and can be ordered for Christmas presents. Mom has added the button to the left with the other buttons. If you prefer a color preference, please put that in the notes.

Halloween Has Been Cancelled

2011-10-31T00:01:00.000-04:00

Due to the bad weather, the number of people without electricity and the number of trees down.

Can you see the wire down going across the street? This is two blocks from us.

This is downtown. There was a broken tree on every block, practically.

Out our front door.

This tree fell on memere's car port. Memere's car is okay, thankfully.

The other side of memere's house. She and pepere are here with us until the power is restored. There are over 300,000 people without power. There is no school tomorrow, because the high school is being used as a pet friendly shelter. 80% of the town where mom works had no power yesterday. We'll see if mom actually goes to work today.

Have a great day everyone.

Shovelling 14" of Snow Sunday

2011-10-30T00:01:00.001-04:00

The back yard and the dog wood tree.

This was at 7:30 pm last night.

Here is the dogwood a couple of years ago.

Those are the berry bushes on the right. Dad is worried about the neighbor's tree that covers the garage, and mom's car and the power lines to the house. If you don't hear from us, that will be why.

Update: There is 14" inches in the back yard. There are branches down everywhere. A street over has no power. Auntie has no phone, Memere has no power. Mom will be mounting a rescue mission later this afternoon for Memere, Pepere & Missy. Estimates for people to get there power back is 2 days to 1 week. -sigh-

Biggest Storm This Early In Recorded History

2011-10-29T00:01:00.001-04:00

More SNOW! And it's not even November yet! Oh man, it's gonna be a looooooong winter!

Update - Now they are calling for almost a foot of snow. The weather forecasters are also calling it the Biggest Storm This Early in Recorded History. Oh MAN!

SNOW!!!

2011-10-28T00:01:00.001-04:00

It snowed last night. Phooey, I say! Who wants snow before Halloween? Not me, that's for sure.

Thanks to those of you who bought raffle tickets. Mom is trying to figure out how long to run the raffle for (can you smell more smoke?). Don't worry, it should be up for a while, at least long enough for mom to figure out how long it should be up for. lol

Thinking Thursday

2011-10-27T00:01:00.000-04:00

Mom has been thinking (yes, that is smoke you smell, lol) about how to raise money for PlusOne to go to Europe with the People to People Student Ambassador Program. Several years ago mom and Auntie raffled off a queen size quilt to help a blogger in need. Now we would like to ask for help.

Mom and Auntie will offer raffle tickets for a queen size quilt. Here is the finished quilt that they did for the last raffle.

These tickets will be $10.00 each. There is a buy button to your left and hopefully mom did the button right so you can buy a ticket.

Mom is also raffling off a 4' x 5' Lap robe with quilt batting inside. These are nice for the cold winter days that will soon be coming. The top photo and the bottom two are examples of the lap robes mom has made.

Both items are machine washable in warm or hot and machine dry-able, made in smoke free environments with lots of love and a smattering of pug hair (guaranteed to keep you happy).

Mom will also be selling some of Memere's artwork and silk scarves once Memere has some ready to sell.

Thanks everyone for your support. We really want to give PlusOne the opportunity to see more of the world and its culture.

Roxy and Lucky

Tattle Tale Tuesday

2011-10-25T00:01:00.000-04:00

Remember last week when I told you I left something for mom when she didn't get me outside soon enough?

Well, that may have been stretching the truth a little bit. When dad takes me out, I run around and sit around and finally pee, but I don't do my other business until he takes me back inside. Then I run into the bathroom (it's a tile floor, at least) and leave him a little gift. I just want him to know how much I love him. lol

Guess Who's Going To EUROPE!!!!

2011-10-23T20:38:00.002-04:00

I wish (not really).

Yup, that's who!!

(Yes, he did do well at the interview, and he had some great recommendations. He is a good kid, I have to say, he's mine, isn't he?) Actually, he's MINE! ~ Lucky

Let the fundraising being!

The Waiting

2011-10-23T00:01:00.001-04:00

We should know later today or tomorrow about PlusOne's People To People trip. It's going to be a loooooonnnnnnnggggg two days!

PlusOne's Interview

2011-10-22T00:01:00.001-04:00

PlusOne's Interview with the People to People Student Ambassadorship is today. Mom is wicked nervous. PlusOne is .... PlusOne.

Yeah, they want to take him to France, Italy and Greece.

All good thoughts and prayers for PlusOne to do well would be appreciated. I know I will have all my paws crossed, as will Lucky.

The Things Humans Do

2011-10-21T00:01:00.000-04:00

Here I am wondering why mom is re-learning Algebra! Then again, why do parents do anything? Kenpo, Jui Jitsu, work, baths, gardening? They should really just be more like us pugs, don't you think? Sleep, eat and get into trouble. I bet mom really would much rather be a pug than re-learn Algebra!

Tough Thursday

2011-10-20T08:16:00.002-04:00

Mom woke up late very late (7:00 am which is bad, because she is supposed to leave at 7:15 am to get PlusOne and his buddy to school). And she didn't manage to get me outside in time, so she stepped in a gift I left her (right after she got out of the world's fastest shower). I hope the rest of her day goes better.
