TOO MUCH CUTENESS!

As you know, one of my New Year's revolutions is to help needy pugs. It's been 2010 for an entire week already and if these revolution things don't stick for pugs the way they don't stick for humans, I might not have much time left.

Luckily, we got an email yesterday from Southern Nevada Pug Rescue. Good news! They are helping me help pugs by having a cuteness contest. Ok, the contest is really for pugs in need and has nothing to do with me. But by voting in the contest, I can keep my revolution AND make a difference in the life of a pug. It's a total win-win.

I'm pretty sure I can make my revolutions last the whole year, but just in case I don't make it past January, I cast a whole bunch of votes in the contest. If you can donate a few $ to help puggies, or just want to see some serious cuteness, check out the contest on Southern Nevada Pug Rescue's website.

HUG-A-BUG-PUG

Sorry if I caused any leaks yesterday. Yoda's pack felt your pug love all the way through the internet and I think that's worth a little bit of leaking.

But because pugs (even sleeping pugs) are all about happiness and, well, more happiness... today there will be NO leaking. Today there will be singing.

Yes, singing.

It's not my singing, but it is a song about me* (I snort and I snore and I can make a terrifying woo-woo-woo sound, but I don't do singing). The singing is by a supercool song maker (technical term: singer/songwriter) named Karen Potje. She sent the song to me and my human and we both think it's extrasupercute, so now we're sharing it with you. Oh, and if the song gets stuck in your head and you want to sing along with Karen, you can download Hug-a-bug-Pug here.





* Note from human: Karen's song isn't really about Puglet. She has a puggy muse of her own named Capone. But please don't tell Pug that. Since I call him 'Pug', any song called Hug-a-bug-Pug MUST be about him.

FOR YODA

Today I am sad because yesterday I found out that my friend Yoda went to sleep.

I'd met Yoda (and sisters Phoebe and Zoey) a bunch of times, but it wasn't until the December Pug Sunday that our humans met and we were finally introduced for real. Y'know, names and everything. We looked for Yoda and Phoebe and Zoey at this weekend's Pug Sunday... but never found them.

Last night when we walked past the flower store near our house, I remembered that when a friend go to sleep, there should be flowers and a moment of silence. And hugs. Lots of hugs for the people (and pugs) who will miss their sleeping friend.

So lots of pug hugs to Yoda's human and pug sisters Phoebe and Zoey. And a moment of silence for Yoda so he can sleep in peace.

GOODBYE, TREE

On Saturday we had our first adventure of 2010.

Remember that weird leafless tree The Man got me? Well, turns out it was a live tree. Y'know, like a regular plant that needs water and sun and stuff to stay alive. Yeah. And somehow my gimpy-brained human didn't realize my tree was alive until it started to die.

So out we went in the rain to bury my tree. The planting instructions said it likes full sun (and hello! cannot survive indoors). Our backyard isn't very big, doesn't get a lot of sun and already has one tree that makes lemons and another that makes pink flowers. My human didn't think my tree would be happy in our yard, so we went to one of my favorite parks on earth to find it a home.

It took awhile to find a place for my tree where:

a) it wouldn't get peed on
b) it would get full sun
c) we wouldn't get yelled at for planting it

We finally found a clearing at the very top of a canyon where two other weird leafless trees were already growing. My tree should be happy living there with its people. The grass in the clearing is also very tasty, so brother Dutch and I can have free snacks whenever we visit.

HELLO 2010!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody!

(Let the revolutions -uh, I mean resolutions- begin!)
