Time? What's that?I have had a very full, very exhausting, but also very fun past few weeks. I don't really have time to go into all of the details or wait for the computer to load up pictures, but just know that on Sunday I became a man-dog!Yep, I turned one year old on the 28th. Lots of prezzies, lots of wrestles and cuddles. Pictures to follow.For now, just know that I am basking in the

Yikes. Just a tip to anyone who has a reader in the family (you know who you are)-- don't give them the Twilight books. They'll disappear like, forever. That's what happened to Dad these past few weeks. Sure, he made up some excuse about needing to be up on the current "hip" things that the kids he'll be counseling are into, and he mentioned something else about two different 20-page papers he's

Dad and Mom go all out for Christmas. At least, they go all out within the limits of their budget. Mom entered a poetry contest this year that would have gotten us $1,000 worth of lights plus free setup and takedown, but she didn't win. Sad day, too, because her poem was the bomb! So, I guess Maya Angelou or someone wrote the winning one.It all starts the day after Thanksgiving:No Black Friday

It's the thankful time of the year in Colorado!My human grandpa came out all the way from Illinois (he drove, even!) and visited us. I like him. He played fetch all week long with me!And yet, he seemed to be able to resist the Glummy face and I couldn't score any table food. And what table food there was!Turducken and yams (with marshmallows!) and green bean casserole (with french cut GBs!) and

Hello everyone! This is Puddleglum's dad for this Thoughtful Thursday. I saw the the new Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, on Sunday. I like the Bond movies, so I'm pretty familiar with the series and its themes and thought I'd weigh in on it here. First of all, I think the title is pretty cool. A lot of people are apparently really confused by it, but it's really quite easy: a "quantum" is the

So the moment of truth has arrived. I was selected for the finals in Project Dogway, and now it's all come down to this:Me as a shill, begging for votes. Again.I submitted two pictures of me:Both of which I hate Dad for staging. See that look on my face? Yeah, it's not faked. Gotta say, though, I am rocking the Gryffindor scarf like it's my J. O. B.

Dad and Mom both have a new 'puter! The stuff is getting transferred from the old one, which BTW is literally fried. The power cord decided to send a jolt of super-heated energy straight into the motherboard. Tasty, huh? Long story short, it will be a week before the data is saved, which includes some recent pics I had plans to post. Oh well. In the meantime, there is a decent amount of old

Hello all!Well, it finally happened. Dad and Mom's computer died. Which is admirable that it lasted this long, considering Mom got it before she went to college. So, that means that while Dad will scramble to find a new 'puter ASAP (they live and die by that thing), in the interim and in the time it takes to transfer files from the fritzed one to the new one and in the time it takes Dad to get

Dad has found a new toy. And I don't like it.But, he gives me lots of treats while he uses it, so I can't complain too much.

OK-- Today is catch-up day for Puddleglum. I am WAY behind.First things first, today is Election Day in the United States! Hooray for freedom and choice! With there being a possibility of the first African-American person as president of the USA, perhaps this will open the door to give us canines the vote.

Today is Big Brother's 2nd birthday! Dad got him from a breeder a week before Christmas, as a present to Mom. Mom's grandpa (who died this past April) used to have Westies his whole life, so Mom always knew she wanted to have a Westie around the house. Mom says that he was the best Christmas present she's ever gotten.I'm just glad I get someone to play with! Everyone wish him a happy birthday!

In other news today, a local Westie was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.When brought before the judge, it was noted that there is a prior history of offense.When asked what he had to say for himself, the Westie stated he was unrepentant and would attack again.The jury is in deliberations.

I am on Pug-A-Day today! Hooray! Thanks everyone for pointing that out to me. If you see this post on some other day besides Saturday, it was the "Pug with Happiness" picture at the top of the right-hand column, which is also up for voting at Pug Lover's Rescue for the banner contest.Speaking of which, go vote! Please? :) I think I get the award for shameless plugs, wouldn't you agree?Thanks

Hello everydoggy!I know it's a week late, but last Saturday I went to the Bear Creek dog park for Pug Club! It's a monthly meeting of pugs and owners here in Colorado Springs where we just hang out and swap stories and take pictures.

Hello everyone!I know, it's been a while since I've done one of these, hasn't it? I've just been having so much fun there's not much time to be thoughtful! Today I wanted to review a book Dad and I just finished: Sons and Lovers, by D.H. Lawrence.This is the first D.H. Lawrence book I've ever read, and I've got to say I am less than impressed. I was looking forward to it because 1) Lawrence has a

A while back, it was libellously suggested that I am a bully to Big Brother. Nothing could be further from the truth. As you can clearly see, HE is the aggressor.I don't have to listen to these wild allegations!

This is what happens every time Mom comes home: And don't worry-- she's not swatting me there toward the end, she's just pushing me down from her leg. They're trying to teach me not to jump when they come home. Ha!Tomorrow is Pug Club! Wow, two pug meetups in one week. PAWESOME! Pictures will definitely be forthcoming on Monday.

OK, so it's not wordless. But, today is the day that voting starts for the Pug Lover's Rescue banner contest! Let's get out there and rock the vote! Just click on my picture up at the top of the right-hand column.

Yeah, so... Dad just now figured out that his digital camera has different settings for alternative shots (i.e., panoramic, close-up, in motion, etc.). So he fiddled around with them for a while.What. An. Idiot.

Hello everydoggy! I officially have pictures from the Pugs in the Park in Denver, after a brief scare that Dad had lost the camera. I think Mom would have killed him had that been true. Just sayin'.So, without further ado:The setup was a big circle of tents and booths and whatnot, with a bunch of pugs and their humans milling around in the middle, but many more on the edge where it was cool and

OK, so the answers to the shows that I am psyched about seeing should be up in the right-hand column now. I asked for top 5, and I put in there the top 5 that are airing in the Fall, plus a few others that start up at midseason that I can't wait to see.(1a).

OK, so it's come to this: the presents themselves, over a week after they were actually opened. It was a great way to start the day, though, since it began with... WRAPPING PAPER!!Big Brother and I each gave Dad a card with our very own paw-printsand we also each gave him a magnet for the cold box, which was shockingly devoid of anything doggy:You might need to click on the pictures to enlarge

Iiiiiiiit's Broncos time!Mom and Dad left early that morning so they could eat brunch at their aunt's house with cousins in Denver. I was stuck here at home with Big Brother, BUT-- and this is big-- they let me roam free outside the cage all day long. Wow! They gave me a rawhide to chew, dumped the toy box so I could have my pick-- oh man. It was pawesome! Their friends came over to check on us a

Hello everyone! I promised I would provide pictures and updates for the weekend, so here goes!On Friday Mom and Dad left me behind and went to see Avenue Q at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. They LOVED it I guess, because they came in the door singing the songs. Obviously they couldn't take any pictures while they were there-- Dad said there was a camera-Nazi-lady at the door basically

Winston and Clementine's mom Rachel posted yesterday about Pug Lover's Rescue doing a contest for the banner on their site. And me being the incredibly vain pug I am, I thought-- "Hey, I wanna do that!"There's just one problem-- I can't pick a good picture for me to use. So, I will ask the spiffy peeps and pugs in the blogosphere for assistance. I have narrowed it down to five options, and I have

Today is September 11, 2008, and a very tragic thing happened seven years ago. I was at college in Indiana that morning, and got up to go to class and noticed on the way that there were an inordinate amount of people in the lobby crowded around the TV. I

The title says it all.So, I went to the dog park at Bear Creek for Pug Club! Dad and I were so looking forward to it, and sharing pictures with everyone, and having a great time, and then disaster struck. First, the camera's batteries died. Then, the backup batteries Dad brought did not work! I think there was a gremlin in his pocket that ate up the battery juice. Then, while there, Dad couldn't

I'm back! Sorry, my weekend hiatus" turned into a "weeklong hiatus". Dad took a while getting the pictures off of the camera, and then he found that some were deleted... it was fun.But I've still got some great ones! We left on Friday and piled in the car, ready for hours of fun. Mom and Dad were pawesome and got the back seat all fancified for us. It was like a personal castle, all just for Big

Hello!I wanted to let everyone know first of all that yesterday I got my checkup at the V-E-T-apostrophe-S and all is well with me, my stomach, and my surgery area. I have been cleared to travel, which is good, because...I am going to Illinois with Dad and Mom to perform the auspicious office of Fantasy Football team mascot for Dad's team this year.

Hello everydoggy!I decided to combine my usual Thoughtful Thursday with a Thursday Thirteen, which a lot of dogs do around the 'Verse. It's all about the Olympics, which just ended this past week. Some of you may know-- I boycotted watching the Beijing Olympics (go Paw-lympics!), and my family is trying to boycott things made in China (yeah, that's pretty hard to do nowadays). Why do we do that,

Ha! It worked! I got lots of suggestions from furiends to give the "Glummy face" and see if that got me out of the cone.After that, it was just a matter of time until it come off.A few licks of the hand that helps you never hurt.I still have to put it on when I'm in the cage and when I'm sleeping, but Mom and Dad have relented and let me walk around with it on while they're home.

First Dad takes me to this shiny place with lots of friendly people, then he leaves me there, then they give me a poke in my skin and I get all woozy and go to sleep, then I wake up and feel... really wierd, like something's missing.

Hello everyone!First of all, let me say that Puddy is doing fine. Having said that, things could have gone better. When he was released, he had SERIOUS swelling on his surgery area. In fact, when he came out I asked the nurse if his hoo-has were actually gone! She assured me that the swelling was normal and would go down with antibiotics and other meds he was given.All went well last night: he

Hey everyone! I just got the call from the doggy hospital, and Puddleglum is awake and doing very well! I am so happy, and I'm sure I bugged the snot out of them asking for updates. He'll be going home today, so we may have a sleepless night but at least he'll be with us. I'm sure he'll feel fine enough to resume his duties blogging for all his friends pretty soon.In the meantime, I am going to

Hello everyone! This is Puddleglum's dad. I busied Puddy with his bone-- remember this one? So, this is all that's left... Maybe I can squeeze out a few minutes of computer time with him occupied.This Thoughtful Thursday will have no literary content (did I hear a cheer?), but it is still very thoughtful. It also is a two-parter. The first part is found HERE, or you can just click the picture at

Here's an idea I got from Wilson and Henry that I think is grand for my Thoughtful Thursday this week!1) Bold those you have read.2) Italicize those you intend to read.3) Underline the books you LOVE.4) Reprint this list in your own blog.and I'll add a 5th:5) Put 5 asterisks (5 stars!) beside ones that are in your top 10 ever (not all 10 necessarily on the list)1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

When I saw her standing outside the terminal, my little doggy tail went absolutely wild!Unfortunately, Snoufer couldn't see Mom until he got out of the hospital. Yep, that's right.

Don't worry, this isn't an every Friday thing-- I just like the alliteration in the title.1. Do you like blue cheese? CHEEEEEEESE!!! Yummy cheese yummy cheese yummy cheese... The smellier, the better.2. Have you

Hello!I am taking an idea from my good friends Napoleon and Rukia and am going to do a literary review today. I like the idea a lot, so I might do it regularly as a nice change of pace from seeing pictures of me plastered all over everywhere. Besides, who doesn't like to read?!A little bit of background first: Mom and Dad LOVE to read. But, they really don't like much of anything that is "modern"

Hey everyone!Since I can't put up pictures, I sifted through my old ones and found a couple of videos from when I was a little puppy and first meeting Snoufer. Enjoy!

I got nominated for an award! Yeah!Punchy, Chloe, Zoe, Rosy, and Marty nominated me for the Brilliante Weblog Award:Which I think is brilliant(e?), because Mom used to be in pageants when she was in college, and she was in the Mrs. Colorado pageant this year. I saw her practice her "I won! face" in front of the mirror when she thought no one was looking, and I watched the Oscars this year, so I

Wowsie! I have had a very trying past week or so, so I first of all apologize to everyone for disappearing off the face of the earth!Here's what happened.Sunday July 27th: Mom and Dad took me to the Renaissance Festival in Larkspur for a jam-packed day of fun and food! I will put up pictures and a full description when Mom gets back. Speaking of which...Tuesday July 29th: Mom left for Michigan to

OK. So Dad is mean. Today, he told me all about what The Melting Pot was like last night-- remember? That place where he took Mom for their anniversary. And it sounds soooooooo good. And he didn't take me. Or bring anything home. Gggrrrrrrr...Apparently it is awesome. Mom and Dad had a booth off in the corner, with flowers ready at their table. The lighting was really low and the music was the

Hello everyone!Dad's been really busy lately with getting some projects done for his Master's degree, so I've been busy doing my duties as Assistant Director of Morale and Welfare. And boy am I good at it!Today is Mom and Dad's second anniversary! I wasn't around for the original, but Dad showed me some pictures from it, so I'll share them with you in a separate post, because I'm so proud of how

Yesterday, Dad took Snoufer and me to the dog park! I take back all the bad things I said about him and Mom.It was a beautiful day, so Dad decided to get himself and us out of the house. Unfortunately, Mom was not feeling well (Dad has been sick for the past two months; it finally got passed to her), so she stayed in. The sky was gorgeous!There was no one in the small dog area, so Dad took us to

I hate baths. I hate my humans for giving them to me. OK, I don't really hate them-- it's hard to hate them, with their wierd little noses that stick out and how their eyes are so close together and their hairless bodies: they're so ugly, they're cute! But right now, I don't like them.They gave me a bath yesterday. I got wet. It was humiliating...I tried to escape several times, but to no avail:

Hello everyone!I promised I would update more. So take that, procrastination! Grrr.... I'll chew you to a mushy pulp if you come near me again. And then I'll swallow you when Mom and Dad aren't looking. And then you'll come out my butt in one long string. Because that's what I do.So yesterday Mommy and Daddy went on a date and saw "Wall-E", which is about this robot who cleans up trash. Which is

Hello again everyone!I promise, I'll try to have fewer pictures and more updates from now on. I just needed to get the word out and have a point of reference for everyone to get to know me. So on the same week as the Fourth, I did other really fun stuff as well.Inspired by my friend Suki Sumo, my humans went boating. And left me at home. They gave some lame excuse about me not having a life

Hello again everyone!I'm sorry for the delay in writing this-- what a week I've had! For now, I'll just tell you about my Fourth of July experiences, because they were exciting enough!My humans and I went to visit family in Denver on the Fourth. It was only an hour and a half car ride, but it was still a bit too much for me. I had a little accident in the car, but Mom and Dad understood and it

Hello everyone!I thought I'd give you a quick little snapshot of what a normal day at home is like for me. My dad works a lot-- he's got two jobs right now, and he goes to school, so I don't get to see him as much as I would like to. I'm sure that will change soon, though. Snoufer tells me Dad usually only has one job, so this is a bit unusual. Mom, however, is home all day during the summer!

Hello everyone! This is my first foray into the blogosphere and the Pugverse, as I like to call it. I've taken a look around and WOW! There are an awful lot of pugs out there who write about their experiences living with their humans. I've got some links on the right side to some of my favorites I found. But I guess you're wondering who I am, right?Well, my name is Puddleglum, and I am a 6-month
