Update hiatus
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 used to the new one, I will be restricted while doing the blogging thang.
Dad is going to sneak me into his graduate school to use their computer lab. Hopefully there will be time to upload some old pictures/videos here and there to keep y'all from going into withdrawal, but even more hopefully this 'puter thing will get resolved soon.
In the meantime, I give you some nifty vids. This first one is a picture of what training can be like at our house:
This next one shows what progress I've made on overcoming my fear of the white coffin and of water:
Hope everyone has a better day than us!

Snoufer's Birthday!
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!

The Infamous Loofa Incident Redux
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.

Week-late Pug Club, part 2
I love big dogs! I'm just sayin'; they're awesome. Especially huskies!
I hung out with some of my brachycephalic and/or wrinkly brethren:
And I explored the ravine with Big Brother:
Now, the water saga is kinda interesting with me. I started out not liking it, but then I kinda started to warm up to it. I even jump in the shower now with Dad whenever he's trying to take one. He doesn't really let me stay, but I'm not afraid anymore of the "white coffin", as I used to call it.
So, today I even plucked up the courage to cross the stream! Just one problem: now I'm stuck on the other side:
Drat. I eventually found a better place to cross back, but Big Brother and I got SO dirty!
I was pretty wiped after that, but a fun time was had by all.

Week-late Pug Club, part 1
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. Speaking of those, in fact:
The big guy on the right was snorting up a storm-- I kept thinking he would keel over and die any minute!
Not all of them were pugs; there were several miniature Schnauzers two other Westies!
That was a little girl Westie that Dad thought was just adorable. Harumph.
Snoufer also found a friend that usually comes by during Pug Club: Oliver, a senior male Westie.
Can you guess which is which?
There was even a brindle pug there in costume:
He was a devil dog, let me tell you that. BTW, I think Roxy Dragon Pebbles needs this costume!
As you can tell, there were a lot of dogs there and I got really tired out!
The little black pug there is named Picasso, and she was an adorable little 3 month old girl who LOVED Dad's lap. Here's another picture of her and me fighting over her human's lap.
I think I won. I made really good friends with her.
I also made friends with tons of other cute pugs!
A good time was had by all. After that, I moved on to the big dog area. But that will have to wait until tomorrow and part 2!

Video evidence
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!

Mommy's home!
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.

Back from vacation!
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 Brother and me!
We took turns sitting in the front seat with either Mom or Dad, whoever was not driving. I didn't like that at first. In fact, on the way up I had several "accidents" in the back seat. Oops. But there were plenty of rawhides and toys and such to keep us busy. Snoufer liked the window-- not so much me.
On Friday night we stayed in a hotel in Topeka, KS, after stopping at a late-night Wendy's for food. The guy at the drive-up had a Cockney accent-- seriously! And was REALLY rude. Mom and Dad were also rude for not giving Snoufer or I any of their food. All we got was the normal stuff. The hotel was pretty cool, though-- pet-friendly and lots of room to run around in!
Snoufer stole my stick and hid under the bed. Meanie.
When we got there, I had the time of my life playing with Mom and Dad's friend's bigdog-- SADIE!
She is a Katrina orphan that Dad's friend adopted when they were rooming together (before Mom and Dad got married). Sadie remembered Dad, alright! She wagged her tail like crazy-- not even Snoufer gets that nuts! Speaking of which, Dad says that's all the pics he has of Sadie, since she is such a hyper dog, he couldn't even get her to sit still for one picture. Trust me, he's not lying. She gave Snoufer and I both a run for our money-- all 48 pounds of her! She's a lab-something mix, but I think there's a little bit of pit bull or something like that in her, because she has small ears and a VERY muscular body. Anyway, she's a cutie!
Oh, and just to prove I wasn't there to only have fun all the time--
See? We did some work as well! Dad wants me to put in here that if anyone is reading this who plays Fantasy Football and looks closely at the draft board, don't worry-- our league is different than most people's, in that we start two quarterbacks and give them LOTS of points, so that's why they always go first.
Speaking of which, one of the guys on my team did pretty well last night! Woohoo! Go Brandon Jacobs! Go PugNation!
After the draft, everyone was pooped, so we crashed at my human grandpa's house. That was pawesome to see him as well! I wowed him with my super-cuteness.
Then came the big, long ride home for 14 road hours straight through from Illinois to Colorado. Strangely enough, I didn't have one single accident the whole way. Maybe this had something to do with it...
LOTS of sleeping on the way back. Except for when Mom got pulled over by police in Kansas for speeding-- TWICE. And she has never gotten pulled over before, at all! Thankfully, she only got one ticket, but Snoufer and I made sure that we barked like crazy at the cops when they came up to Mom's window. We sensed she was in distress-- what else could we do?!
What a week! I had a great time. Now, I will leave you with what I think is just the cutest picture ever taken by anyone, ever.
See? What'd I tell you?

Day Four Inside the Cone
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. Dad gave me some BS about not licking myself and getting infection, blah blah blah... I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.
My NOMS furiends Samantha and Mr. Tigger got their Christmas in July package from me, and are finally able to post after sitting through some really nasty storm named Fay. I felt bad, because after some research on the feline species, I discovered that they don't like water (I sympathize). Apparently there was a lot of it down there.
I'm back to my usual self, chillin' at home, chewing on stuff I'm not supposed to:
So, when caught, I just tried that "Glummy face" tactic:
Nice tip there, guys! That one works like magic-- I got to keep the blue stick. Of course, I don't get a lot of positive modeling at home:
Mom was actually pretty happy this happened. She's been getting on Dad for a while now, saying the fact that he uses a loofa is just a bit too fluffy. Dad usually then gives her a big speech about societal expectations and reverse sexism and contradictory messages... that's when I REALLY tune out. Anyway, Mom's happy Snoufer did her a favor and killed the blue fluff-beast so she didn't have to go passive-agressive and help it "turn up missing."
I'm feeling great-- thanks for all the well-wishes! I'm taking a trip with everyone down to Illinois this weekend to visit family and help Dad out with something he calls a Fantasy Football draft. Mostly, my job is to distract the competition with my cuteness. I think I'm up to the task. We'll see if I'm up to handling something Snoufer calls "humidity." He's been to Michigan and Illinois before, and he says it's not fun. Maybe I can try the Glummy face on it...
