Tricia thinks that this would make the perfect pug postcard. I dont think the picture is perfect, but I agree it’s pretty good. Gizmo and Gadget look so cute here.

So Tricia is at her office studying with Jackie for her Property final, and I’m watching Deliverance (i’ve never seen it before, and i wanted to see it)

Anyway, i’m covering the boys eyes for certain parts of the movie, but they got right into a nice spot on the sofa and fell asleep. — They only woke up for the picture because I had to get up to get the camera.

Here’s a quick shot I took last night while Tricia and Jackie were over talking about law school. I got bored, so I took some pictures of the boys.

The belly bands seem to be getting the point across to Gizmo, and we haven’t had any incidents recently. However, i also haven’t really had to test him very hard either (i haven’t been out at night in a few days).

In other news, i’m testing out some del.icio.us site integration. We’ll see if it’s actually useful. I wish it could search through other people’s tags, rather than just mine.

Gizmo on the Nightstand

Originally uploaded by jmatthew3.

For some reason, recently, gizmo has been hopping up onto the nightstand. Now, it’s not a problem or anything — the only time he’s allowed in the bedroom is when someone is home. It’s just an odd “pug behavior” that makes us really wonder what he’s thinking.

In other news, we’ve finally resorted to belly bands to help cut down on gizmo’s marking. Gadget’s really good about not marking, but Gizmo has been marking in retaliation, say, for me leaving the house at night. I don’t like to have to put a belly band on him, but he’s not going to be neutered (both Gizmo and Gadget are AKC champions out to stud), and I think that this is one of the most humane things for me to do with him.

Any comments or tips would be appreciated.

Pugs Kissing

Originally uploaded by jmatthew3.

Spirit is Gadget’s son, and he’s here for the weekend to get everyone in a good jazz fest mood — even though we’re not going this weekend. I’ve got a bachelor party to go to, and Tricia’s studying for law school exams.

Spirit’s one of Gadget’s puppies with Lexy, and he really looks like a cross between them. He’s really an amazing looking puppy, and he’s very well behaved. The first night he was here, he slept right at my chest in the same position the entire night! I’ve never seen a pug puppy do that before.

Anyway, the pictures I just posted on flickr (you can get to them by clicking on the pictures) are of spirit, gizmo, and gadget playing last night. Some of them just turned out great.

This weekend, we took the dogs to the local farmer’s market. Everyone had a good time — the boys just loved seeing all the people (and the attention they got). However, Gadget started to get really, really tired at the end. Whenever we’d stop to talk to someone or cross the street, he’d just plop down, exhausted. Still, he had a great time and I’m sure he’ll want to go again next weekend, presuming it’s not too hot for the boys.

If you click on this image, you’ll also see some other pictures I took on the walk home — or after we got home when the boys were pooped.

I think he’s yawning in this picture.

When I got home from work today, they were both especially happy to see me and were coming up to my chair while I checked my email.

Some of these pictures — you catch the dogs in mid-action, and they just look so funny. If it were a person, they’d be, “no! i look weird in that picture! you can’t show that one!” — but they’re dogs and they don’t mind me posting funny pictures of them.

Gadget thinks it’s cool.

Last night I snapped a picture of Gadget in bed with Tricia. Usually, both pugs sleep (literally) on top of her head. However, they were still in a “settling down” phase, and I wasn’t in bed, so Gizmo wasn’t there yet.

So, Gadget snuggled up into her side and was getting ready for bed.

I’m sick today, so I thought I’d post something a little bit less upbeat. Here’s gizmo resting in his favorite spot on my sofa. Notice i’ve got the microfiber covered with a pattern to keep it clean.

Microfiber may be easy to clean, but i’d rather throw a cover in the wash.

In totally unrelated news, I think that these things i saw on design*sponge are really cool. I want one.


Gadget loves to be scratched

So we went for a visit to Pug Central yesterday, and the puppies are really getting big. They’re big enough to run around and play with all the big pugs, and boy do they love it. The cutest thing, however, is that the puppies love to roll over onto their back and paw at the other dogs, just like Gadget likes to do — as you can see in this picture.


Urban Pugs, Reprezent.

Ok, so we’re reacting to the recent video that Riley posted on his blog. We admit that Riley is a really, really amazing pug. Riley is freaking cute.

But when he posted video, he upped the ante. We’re going to have to see that raise, and give you this

I’m finished with the photos from a couple weeks ago when I went to see all the puppies. I think this photo is one of my favorites!

In other news, Tricia has been a little under the weather for the past couple days, and Gizmo and Gadget have been doing a good job taking care of her, helping lift her mood when she’s feeling ill. I think that’s one of the best things about pugs — they are so affectionate, they really can cheer you up.

Also, if anyone has any ideas for how to keep a super-licking pug’s breath from constanly smelling awful, please, please comment! I’ve got to figure something out for Gadget’s breath.

This weekend was pretty good — I went to a party Friday night in one of the penthouses in my building, and I met the guy who started up Twiropa, which is just down the road from where I live. Oh, and the boys played for hours with Chloe, the puppy French Bulldog who lives down the hall (and was also at the party)

I spent all Saturday running errands & Finally ended up at another party Saturday night (engagement party).

Today was more relaxed. Tricia and I went shopping, she got some new clothes for her new job, and I helped.

In the middle of all this, Tricia and I thought it would be funny to feed the boys some whipped cream and take some pictures of it on their faces. This is just one of the shots, there are a couple more if you follow the links to flickr.
