I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but what's up with the sun these days?? We usually walk in the dark only once (right before bed) but for the past week the sun's been broken and we've had to go on TWO dark walks a day.
This wouldn't be so bad, except dark walks mean leashes. Even in the park. My human says she can't trust us if she can't see us. Which really means that when it's dark, see can't see us wandering off in search of leftovers. Or stop us from eating what we find.
Yesterday me & brother Dutch complained about the sun being broken and having to be on leashes so much. So my human came up with the bright idea to put these glow-thingys around our necks. For "increased visibility", she said (translation: so I can see you eating trash from across a dark park).
My human is pretty sneaky - we each got different colors so she'd know which one of us to yell at. I got a pink&orange glowy, Dutch's was blue&green. The broken sun got in the way of picture taking too, so my human had to take today's photo in the dark.
You'll have to imagine me looking cute, because today I'm just a pink and orange swirl :(
I heard on the radio yesterday that a town in Texas changed its name to get free satellite TV. People who used to live in Clark, Texas now live in Dish, Texas and will be watching TV for free for the next 10 years.
This got me thinking. If I could give San Francisco a new name and get a lifetime of free stuff, what name would I give it? It definitely wouldn't be Dish. I like watching Animal Planet, but not that much.
Brother Dutch didn't even have to think about it -- said he'd change San Francisco, CA to Squirrel, CA so he could have lots of squirrels to chase. My human said maybe Sunshine, CA or Naps, CA. I told her sun and naps are already free so she added Swedish Fish (the mini kind), CA to the list.
I had a harder time deciding. Food, CA? Bully Stick, CA? Cow Hoof, CA? There are so many things I like, picking just ONE to get free for life would be really rally hard.
And then... I ate my first Cheeto.
It was the puffed, natural kind of Cheeto. My human bought them to help Dutch get over his camera phobia. She said they're stinky and big enough for him too see from far away. She also said they're full of air and won't make me get fat. Whatever. Cheetos taste GOOD! SO good, that Dutch even looked at a camera to get one (as you can see in today's picture).
I hope the people of San Francisco would be OK with living in Cheetos, CA because that's totally what I'd change the name to. What would you name your town to for a lifetime of free stuff?
I don't know who invented Pug Sunday, but whoever did is a total genius.
If you don't have Pug Sundays in your neighborhood and have no idea what makes the idea so genius, imagine this... once a month a whole flock of pugs and their people gather to get puggy. There's lots of running and snorting and sumo-wrestling (that's what my human says pugs look like when we play). Some unknowing human always brings food and gets mobbed by hungry pugslooking for free snacks. Everyone goes home tired and happy. Good times!
There are always lots of cool pugs at Pug Sunday and this weekend I got to hang out with two I met here on the blog. One was Ody, who I've met once before but couldn't play with because my foot was gimpy. This time I was gimp-free so we ran and played like crazy until we were the only pugs left in the park. The other was Frank the pug, my younger twin and newest new friend. We look SO much alike in real life, my human kept getting us mixed up. She had to look at our collars to keep track of me. Can you tell us apart? While we were busy playing, Frank's dad got everyone together so my human could take a group pug picture. She's been wanting to do this for ages, but isn't good at being loud or corralling people. Frank's dad is really good at both, so here we all are:
I think brother Dutch felt kinda left out of the No-Contest, so today I'm going to write about him instead of talking about Pug Sunday (more on that tomorrow).
Lots of people ask my human why there's a Daily Puglet, but not a Daily Dutch. Am I her favorite? Am I more interesting? More cute? Well, yeah... but that's not why Dutch doesn't have a blog.
The problem is that Dutch hates cameras. More like he's afraid of cameras. Unlike me, who gets all excited when the camera comes out, Dutch will do everything he can to avoid having his picture taken.
See today's photo? Case in point. My human had to ambush Dutch when he was too busy rolling around in the grass to notice her. She was able to get one good frame (fancy talk for picture) before he saw the camera... and died.
Well, not really died. He was just playing dead so my human would stop shooting him (more fancy talk; shooting just means taking pictures). See those five little pictures underneath the big one? My human took those while she was waiting for Dutch to come back to life.
Dutch didn't move for almost 2 minutes. At first my human thought it was kinda funny. So she kept shooting. When he didn't get up, she thought something might be wrong and stopped. And as soon as she put the camera down, Dutch went back to rolling around in the grass. Happy as a pig in poop.
Looking at pictures of a dog playing dead would get pret-ty boring after awhile. and that's why there's a Daily Puglet - but no Daily Dutch.
Before I announce the winners of The No-Contest Contest, I want to thank everyone for sending in their cuteness. Watching the gallery fill up with faces was super exciting. I'm so glad I quit that other contest so we could all have fun with this one!
Because we are ALL super-cute, no one was judged in The No-Contest. I picked the winners at random by popping balls with names written on them. I am SOOOO glad I only had to pop balls to find the winners. No way I could ever pick favorites from a gallery so full of cuteness.
My human used a special camera to film me picking the winners. She's kinda sucky at special cameras, but here I am popping balls:
And now, the No-Contest Contest moment you've all been waiting for.....
The Grand Prize Winner: Stella (Morro Bay, CA) Congratulations Stella on winning a brand new Henrietta rubber chicken!!
Finalists: Macs (Eden Prairie, MN) Peyton (Villa Grove, IL) Sasha the puppy (Lake Charles, LA)
