This weekend, I made a practice batch of sugar cookies. I’m particularly concerned w/ the icing, so I tried a couple variations. (Still working on it) Anyway, I gave Gadget a taste, and this is his “I’m so happy” face, sitting there with icing still on his face.

Update!

This post is to inform you that due to a 3-1 vote, Gizmo is no longer “An Annoying Bee” and Gadget is not a “Cowardly Lion”

Gadget is now “Gadget the Lion Hearted”
Gizmo is now “A Bee in your Bonnet”

That is all.

Quick update: The harnesses are good. They are made of a very soft material (we even got leashes made out of the same material / colors, for those of you who want to match) — They’re washable, and they’re made of very strong velcro. I suggest getting a “small” for your pug. Gadget’s on the very big end for pugs, and he “just barely” fits into the harness.

The harnesses are from FunnyFur.com

Oh, update: I’ve got another website, Resizr, which resizes images, then lets you do things with the images, like post them to myspace, email them, or send them to your cellphone. I just enabled “send to cell” functionality with UrbanPug. Now, you can email or send to cell pictures on the site, just click the little button below the image, and it will take you to resizr to send the picture.

So, FunnyFur.com is an Urban Pug sponsor, and we just got some goodies in from them. First off, we got these velcro harnesses that are really cute. We got the “bee” and the “lion” since we think that those fit G&G’s personalities perfectly.

They seem to like wearing the harnesses — they usually try to take clothes off. We also got some special shampoo and dog-clothes cleaner which I’ll be talking about when I get to using them.

Right now, Gizmo and Gadget are really liking their new harnesses.

This picture is of Gizmo, but you can see Gadget here or here.

Also, right now, FunnyFur is having a really big spring sale and is offering free shipping on orders through March 31! Follow the link above or enter “ff0307ship” as the offer code.

They also sent us some plush toys. I don’t have pictures of those yet, but you can see the same ones at Adore Le Pug


Pug in a mixing bowl!

Pug in a mixing bowl!

Originally uploaded by jmatthew3.





Today I decided to make sugar cookies. When I was done with the mixing bowl, i decided to let the pugs lick the bowl. I put it on the floor, and expected gadget to go crazy.

Well, he just looked at it.

Then, I gave him a taste of what was inside, and he knew it was something he wanted.

So, he started trying to figure out how to get at what was in there. Apparently, just sticking your head down in there wasn’t something he wanted to do just yet, so he just started growling at the bowl, not sure what to do.

So then, I tilted the bowl onto its side, and the picture shows you what happened for the next 10 minutes.

Gizmo is standing next to him, thinking “hey, this is just ridiculous”


Pet Food Recall

Certain types of dog AND cat food have been linked to kidney failure and deaths of pets.

The brands affected are Iams, Eukanuba, and certain store brands.  A full list of the exact brands will be provided online, here today.

I saw this on the MSNBC website, here.


Small red bumps after playing with dog?

Kimmie7’s having a problem.  When she plays with her dog, she gets red bumps on her forearm.  Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Help her out in the forums.

I think it might be allergies.


It’sa me! Gadget!

This weekend, I gave the boys a bath, and Gadget didn’t want to get wet, so we put a shower cap on him.

He kinda looks like a chef here. I like to pretend he’s got an Italian accent, and he’s telling me how he’s going to cook meatballs.

Click on the picture for a few more shots of him.


Pug Squinting Eye Problem

Tricia noticed this morning that gadget was keeping one of his eyes mostly shut, so she’s taking him to the vet.  It’s probably just a tiny something in his eye, or at worst a minor scratch.  However, it’s really important to take care of pug eye problems really quickly, so she’s there with him right now.

See more about eye problems in the forums.

Update: Gadget just has a minor scratch, but we have eye drops for him. Also, he’s lost some weight! I guess the Innova EVO is doing him good.


Now your pug can go to the oscars!

If there were a pug awards ceremony, what would it be called?  What would the awards be for?

Best pug in a supporting role?
Best original snore?
Best male pug in a dramatic bid for food?
Best pug costume design?

Maybe we should have a “Puggies” award ceremony?

Anyway, there is now a limited edition “Red Carpet Collection” by Little Lily, of dog clothes inspired by fashions from the 2007 Academy Awards.  check it out at Funny Fur (click the “what’s new” button up top)
