I just HAD to share this!!!

Gizmo always has loved riding in the car. Now, he loves it more than ever. Also, as you can see in the video, he hears me calling him, but he doesn’t actually get up and pay attention to me until I say something he wants to hear…

Does your pug do any tricks? Gizmo can “sit” and he’s very good about getting in the car, but other than that — no tricks.

This picture says it all.

Watching a movie with her pug

Oopsy is also known as Speedy Pugzales… Here you see her in the park near our house. She will stand still and wait for you to call her, then sprint to you!

At least Gizmo thinks that high chairs are really just his dog bowl, raised up off the ground. It used to be (with Martine) that the pugs would circle around the high chair around feeding time, but with Marigny, Gizmo has taken to jumping from chair to chair in order to get up where the food is (instead of waiting for it to fall). In this picture, he’s getting interested about what’s up there (on a number of other occasions, we have found him sitting up on top).

Lots of change. Marigny can crawl now (watch out pugs!) and Oopsy is staying with us again! Here’s a picture of Martine and Oopsy sitting in the basket of Tricia’s bike (for a very short ride – trying to be safe). Keep on the lookout for more… and follow us on Facebook for quick updates that don’t make it here! Also, if you don’t remember Oopsy, you can click here to check out some previous posts with pictures of oopsy.

It would be sacrilegious for someone living in this house not to love pugs. Fortunately, Marigny will need no education enhancing her pug affection. She is actually more into pugs than Martine was! Of course, Martine adores Gizmo, but as a baby, she was more interested in pug fur than in pugs.
Also, I think I should address my marked lack of recent posts. I love doing Urban Pug. However, because I have been in school, over the past several years I’ve had some extra free time. In the past 10 months: (1) I started a new job as an attorney; (2) Tricia had our second child; (3) I took (and passed) the Patent Bar exam (which means I’m now a Registered Patent Attorney); (4) I’ve released several iPhone applications (see, e.g., Louisiana Civil Code – review 1, review 2, review 3) and (5) Work has been unusually busy with a deluge of litigation. So, priorities are priorities. Urban Pug sometimes has to wait, and for the past several months, it has waited. Hopefully I will be able to post more often!

Here’s a quick picture of Martine with Gizmo and Marigny. As you may have guessed, Martine is as fond of Gizmo as ever (in fact, she routinely tells Gizmo that she loves him). Whenever we are in the car near our house, she will point out our house, at first calling it “Tine’s House,” but then also saying “Mommy’s house, Daddy’s House, Momo’s house, Manny’s (that’s how she says Marigny) house).
She’s a serious pug aficionado!

I’ve posted on the topic of free pugs in the past, and I think it’s important to keep people informed about pugs for free, specifically, why you shouldn’t get one for free. If you agree, please forward on the link to others and post a link on your blog, if you run one, to that post.
Thanks!

Martine’s growing up right before our eyes! She’s just learned about playing “dress up” (and I presume it will not be much longer until she learns to “dress” Gizmo). Anyway, she was outside playing in her costume yesterday, and I managed to take this snapshot of her with Gizmo.

Every year we do an “Easter Pug” picture, and most of the time, it was Gadget. One of those pictures (the one with this post) is today’s picture in the Cute Overload 2010 Page-A-Day Calendar.
We miss you Gadget!
We’re not doing Easter Pug pictures this year, but you can click to see our previous Easter Pug pictures.

Although we are still very sad that Gadget is not with us anymore, life goes on. Marigny hasn’t made much of an appearance on Urban Pug yet, and I’m happy to report that Gizmo gets along great with BOTH of his sisters now. Martine has been “raised by pugs” so to speak, so there’s absolutely nothing odd to her about this first picture that I took this morning. Tonight, though, I managed to snap a somewhat decent shot of Martine holding Marigny with Gizmo sitting next to both of them.

To all Urban Pug fans: It is with tears in our eyes that we must report that Gadget just passed away. A piece of our family and of our hearts is gone. I will post a fitting tribute at some point, but right now it is too difficult. You were our baby boy Gadget. We loved you as you loved us–unconditionally.
