| Warm. Dry. |
The sun isn't awake yet, but so far things around here are much less sucky. My human is still stressed. I'm still not getting any turkey or pie. The Atlanta Pugs still don't have their pictures. But all your awesomeness made everything feel a ton better. And things can't be too sucky if you have a warm bed to sleep in. Even if Dutch hogs most of it.
Guess I should probably explain the warm bed thing.
Ok. So this morning there were people sleeping in front of our house. Like on our doorstep. Like I had to step on people to go outside and pee. Yeah. This has never happened before and it kinda freaked me out.
ME: how come people are sleeping on our house?
MY HUMAN: probably because it's been raining really really hard all night.
ME: why didn't they sleep at their own house?
MY HUMAN: I'm thinking they don't have a house to sleep in.
Don't have a house to sleep in? Talk about sucky.
One of the door sleepers was in a bag. The other one just had a blanket. I woke the bagged one up when I stepped on the head-end of the bag by mistake. My human totally would have squawked at me if I stepped on her head, but the door sleeper just said sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry. I wagged and she pet me. My human told her it was ok for her to stay, we just needed to get outside so I could pee (Dutch was too afraid and stayed inside).
Peeing in the rain really sucks so sleeping in -- or even near -- the rain must totally suck. So I asked my human if we could give the door sleepers something to make the rest of their day better. Like a donut. Or bacon. Or socks. She thought this idea was awesome.
Of course we don't have donuts or bacon at our house and my human wasn't sure if anyone would want her socks. So on the way back from peeing, we stopped at 7-11 to get the door sleepers some breakfast eatables. The 7-11 dudes know all my human ever eats is diet coke and asked why on earth we were looking at donuts. She told them about the door sleepers.
Send them down here. I'll make sure they get a good breakfast, the 7-11 dude said. He promised me 'something good' meant donuts.
The door sleepers were still sleeping when we got home so my human stuck a note to the lady door sleeper's bag:
Go to 7-11, breakfast is waiting for you.
Happy Thanksgiving :)
PS: Knock if you want some dry socks.

Lola and Ellie (and their moms) think you and your human are really awesome.
This is so awesome it made us leak. We are thankful for you, Dutch, and Thumbs!
Love, Roscoe and Champ
This is what Thanksgiving is all about. It doesn't matter how or where these people came from. Right now they need food and you came through. It puts things in perspective. You are a terrific pug and person.
You guys are the best and that's about the cutest pug bottom I have ever seen!!!!!
Wow. Human kindness does still exist. Way to go pug and thumbs! Most people would have shooed them away or most likely called the cops, but here you are giving away socks. Totally awesome. :)
That makes me leak, Puglet. wish there were no more doorsleepers, ever. thanks for having a human sized heart.
Love

And this is why I don't give an F when we get our pictures! You rule Amanda
You guys ROCK! Big pug hugs to you, Dutch, and your human and happy Thanksgiving!!
That was my comment! My human stole it. That's okay. It's true--you guys DO ROCK!!
Happy T-day, buddy!!
I can't imagine it is an easy life, being a doorsleeper. I tried being a tent sleeper once and that was scary enough.
Your human has the biggest heart! Please give her lots of kisses for me.
Licks,
Sabrina
ok after reading Fiona Apple touching note on FB, and crying her eyes out, our mom cries again. You and your Human and 7-11 guy are awesome !!!!! Fredzik Zuzia and Pucia
You guys are amazing and kind. Thank you for showing us what compassion is all about. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you for sharing the love Puglet!!

Pug, my human is leaking all over the place. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for helping us realize that we have so much to be thankful for.
Love,

i am leaky now as well. it's amazing how the universe will put things in perspective when we're feeling down. so glad you and your human have such big hearts. my pug is an ATL pug and i know the pictures are well worth the wait. secretly i enjoy the anticipation. i helped your human with the reflector for a couple of days and i was so sad when that weekend was over. happy thanksgiving and hope things keep getting less sucky - we all love you, dutch, and your human.
Wow. This post totally made my eyes leak. Thank you and your wonderful human for reminding me what Thanksgiving is all about. Blessings to all of you.
Love,
Patty, Gus (#666) and Spike (#667)
We just love you guys!!! That is the awesome-ist thing ever, and thank you for doing that.
Now excuse while we stop our eyes from leaking.

What a giant heart your human has. Have a wonderful and thankful Thanksgiving.
Puglet, Thumbs and Dutch,
This is one of the greatest posts EVER! Y'all are awesome! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Christa, Cletus and Callie
This made me and my mom's eyes leak too! We would like you to know that we are thankful for YOU and this blog! We don't comment much, but we read everyday and it is always a highlight and brings a smile to our faces. You, Dutch and your human bring joy to all of your friends, readers and even doorsleepers. So thank you for being so awesome, kind and thoughtful!!
Love, and happy thanksgiving,
Louie the chihuahua
You guys totally deserve turkey and pie for such an act of love.
Love,
Christy
and we forgot...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WITH BACON ON TOP!
♥♥♥
Scarlet & Meredith
Sheesh Puglet, my mom just leaked all over me reading this. She squeezed me extra tight and kissed me too. Those people must be so thankful that Thumbs let them stay in the dry of your steps and when they wake up and find out that Thumbs and the 7-11 dude have eatables for them they will be even happier. We're still leaking for them though, because they don't have the same stuff we do to be thankful for. No house, no eatables, maybe no family to share thanks with. It really puts stuff we think is sucky into perspective, doesn't it?
Oh Man Pug! That is awesome how great ya'll are with the door sleepers! It's so nice to be nice! Love to you guys!
Thats awsome i think we should all learn from you guys and try to help more each other :)
Happy thanksgiving
fan
Puglet, that make me leaky! Thank you and your human for being so awesome!!
Puglet,
Every time I read your blog, I am touched. I think you, Dutch and your Amanda are one of God's gifts to all of us. We hope that each of you have a Happy Thanksgiving and have many Blessings in the days to come. Like everyone else I can hardly type for leaking. Pugs & Kisses to you all!!
We're telling you, Puglet, just when you think that things can't get any more suckier, you see some humans more down and out than your own and then you stop and you bark to yourself, "hey, we got each other and that's all that matters."
Happy Thanksgiving Pug, Dutch and Miss Amanda,
Love you .....
Roxi, Riley & Lea
You all are amazing, you're generosity is endless. That's what makes you so awesome. I love to bask in the warmth of your hearts! I am thankful for you and your blog and for reminding me how good my life is, even on the days that are a little sucky.
Puglet, I read your blog religiously, but I hardly ever comment, and I apologize for that because you are so sweet and you deserve to know it! Your human continues to amaze me. Even when she is feeling sucky, she goes out of her way to make other poeple feel good and that is something special. You should make sure you give her extra snuggles in your warm bed. Happy Thanksgiving!
All I can say is you and your human are awesome!
Dear Puglet and his (human) What a wonderful thing to do I am so touched by your kindness pug you even offered Bacon!!!! best of the Holidays to the Three of you.
George and his human cynthia

Leaking here too. You, thumbs, and Dutch are the bestest of the best and we're so thankful to get to read about your awesomeness on the daily...if only we lived closer.
You should write a book Puglet...your writing makes our tails wiggle and our human's smile hurt good hurt.
We love you and are thankful for all of you!
Baxter, Cole, and a leaky human!
P.S. Puglet I want to eat those adorable little feets of yours! This picture is a fav...can't resist lounged out pug bum and paws!
B and C's human
Yay for you three! Thanks so much for sharing what you have with someone who has so much less. I'm sure they were so filled with thankfulness when they woke up to your loving note and act of kindness.
Thanks, too, for sharing your story. It's a wonderful reminder of how we can help others. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but just a small gesture done with genuine love. I'm sure you made their day.
Lafayette Lola
p.s. My human's brother was a door sleeper, and she always hoped that strangers would be kind to him until he came home. He came home last year. Your door sleepers mean a lot to someone.
Super awesome. We help each other, human to human or human to dogs or whatever... we are all family. Love you, Dutch and your human, Amanda.
Thanksgiving is wonderful because of you guys.
thumbs up for the 7-11 guy, too!
you, your human and the 7-11 guys just made my Thanksgiving! thanks!
Leaking here now. Wow, some extra special good juju coming your way & 7-11 dude's way for sure. We really don't appreciate what we have until we see with our own eyes on what others don't have. You guys are the best!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Ann, Fro, Molly & Cleo
Happy Thanksgiving Puglet, and thanks for making it happier for some other people.
*sniff* Awesome post for Thanksgiving eve; thank you Puglet & human from the bottom of our hearts. God bless all of you! ( you too, sweet Dutch)
Love always, Bruno & Diesel (& mom) ♥♥♥
Others have said, but we'll say it too. Suckiness is all about perspective. Of all the suckiness you guys have been through, you were able to see the sunshine on the other side. Then you were able to make someone else's day less sucky. You get serious karma points. And you totally deserve bacon and spa days and pink fleeces.
Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for being thankful, not for stuff or sales of more stuff, but for the beauty in the everyday world.
We need more human (way more ) like yours Pug. You guys rock. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Hi Pug,
Your Human is AWESOME!! Happy Turkey day to you, Dutch & your Human, Frank too.
Hugs,
Suki & Mom

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
Buford T. Justice, Bambi, Miss Lacy and Tre (the Boston, wannabe Pug)
You and your mom are totally awesome. So is the 7-11 guy. I hate peeing in the rain as well. Lucky doesn't care, but I'm with you.
We hope you have enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Roxy & Lucky
I believe in angels, guardian and otherwise. And I also believe that angels come to each of us in many ways, many forms. They may help us when we least expect it. Each of us can also be an angel....and we may not even realize it. Puglet, Dutch, Amanda....you are all angels in more ways than you know. Happy Thanksgiving from Max and Grace, two of your biggest pug fans....you make our humom smile every day!
You're mom's cool helping out the sleeping bag lady. My mom was wondering if the Dallas pugs ever got their pictures cause she hasn't seen anything and saw you comment on the Atlanta pugs which was after Dallas. She isn't trying to rush but wanted to make sure she didn't miss anything. Hope you have a happy thanksgiving.
