REDEMPTION!

So, like a year ago I had this incident with a homeless man and a sandwich. I won't go into all the gory details, but the dude had a sandwich and I ate it.

Yeah, I know. But I really didn't mean to eat a homeless person's food. That would be so wrong. The sandwich was just sitting on the sidewalk so I figured it was a stray. Nothing wrong with eating a stray sandwich, right?

Wrong. I got in serious trouble *and* my human said I'd go to Hell for eating a homeless dude's food. Especially since she didn't have any money with her to buy him a new sandwich. But that's where the redemption thing comes in.

Because yesterday she was taking pictures of Gracie in the alley where I met the homeless dude & his food.... and she saw the dude! My human's brain is completely gimpy, but she says even she 'couldn't forget the face of the homeless man whose food I ate'.

[I swear, it was an accident]

Of course she didn't have her wallet (again!) but she did have $5 in her pocket and gave it to the man to buy a new sandwich. He probably doesn't remember me or the sandwich I ate, but my human said the $5 made him SO happy. I hope this means I'm not going to Hell anymore.

There's a party happening this weekend and it's just for pugs! Well, humans can come too, but it's mostly for us. And to raise money for Central Coast Pug Rescue. Last year's event was superfun: no leashes, plates of tasty eatables to steal from, and lots of cool pugs.

WHERE: Axis Cafe in San Francisco
WHEN: Sunday Feb 12th, 3 - 6pm
HOW: you can find tickets & all the info on Central Coast Pug Rescue's website www.helppugs.com

Hope to see you there!

HI!

HI! I think you already know I'm Gracie but if you don't know me, that's who I am. I usually live at Pug Mecca but my blonde lady went away so I'm at Casa Pug until she comes back.

The Pug's blonde lady said I could be here today and he couldn't do anything about it because I'm a girl and I have cancer and everyone knows you have to be nice to girls and extremely nice to girls who have cancer. I think it's a law.

I don't know what The Pug told you about me but anything not nice is not true. I am perfect. I like to snuggle and give kisses. I LOVE to eat food and kill stuffies. Sometimes I LOVE food and stuffies I get a little crazy. The Spotted One is afraid of me and Pug will probably say I tried to rip his face off. The blonde ladies think the cancer medicine is what makes me crazy so I just let them think that.

YUMMMMMM!!!!

Did I say I like food? LOVE food. That's me about to hoover down a flying Zuke's salmon snack. SOOOOO tasty! The Pug says the pink on my sweater is also "salmon" but The Spotted One says he's just saying that because it's his sweater and he makes fun of boys who like pink. Boys are weird.

I also love the beach. Not as much as food but I still love it. The ocean makes bubbles that are fun to chase and the waves spit seafood onto the sand. The beach was full of crabs the day we went and I ate one or two or five. The pincher parts are the best - just make sure the crab is dead first or it can be scary.

The blonde ladies are all worried about me being sick but nobody has to worry about me, I'm Gracie! Besides, girls with cancer get to snark at boys and blame the drugs, hog 99% of the bed and 100% of the covers and eat dead crabs on the beach without getting yelled at. This cancer stuff isn't so bad if you ask me. I think The Pug is jealous!!

NERVOUS

Thanks for sending Lulu so much awesome Juju! Her leg isn't better yet, but I know it would be way worse without your help. The xray expert said there aren't any broken bones or anything, but Lulu will need to see a special vet if things she's not walking by Monday. I'll have my paws crossed all weekend for walking.

So, today I was going to tell you all about the terrible thing that happened to me at Lulu's vet (hint: starts with an S and tells you you're fat). But right now I have bigger problems than a bad scale day. MUCH bigger problems.

Gracie = Girl

Gracie from Pug Mecca is staying with us this weekend. Gracie's cool and everything, so I guess this isn't a problem, exactly. It's just... weird. I mean, my man Frank stays here all the time - but Frank is a dude and Gracie is a girl.

I don't hang out with many girls other than Bellatrix, but she's a Hermaphrodite so I'm not sure she even counts. I know girls don't like to be humped the way Frank does and I've never met a girl (other than Bellatrix) who likes to face wrestle. Girls smell kinda funny too.

I'm pretty sure girls have their own special rules, but I don't really know what they are and that makes me kinda nervous.

Do I have to let Gracie play with my toys because she's a girl?
If she tries to hog Nikon, can I shove her out of the way?
If she goes in for the hump, am I allowed to hump back?

And the big #1 question:

Am I supposed to let a girl sleep in my bed??

If any girls out there (or dudes with girl experience) have any clue what I'm supposed to do/not do with Gracie, please let me know ASAP. She might look all sweet and innocent, but I'm afraid she'll totally kick my butt if I do the wrong thing.

JUJU FOR LULU

Before I say who The Randomizer picked to win the Carnivore Crunch snacks, I need to ask for some juju. Big time juju.

It's for my friend Lulu. That's her in today's picture, laying in the dirt looking really unhappy. Lulu isn't usually unhappy, but she'd just done a Flying Wallenda maneuver off the side of a hill and landed funny. And I don't mean ha-ha funny. I mean the kind of funny that lands you here:

Yeah. The vet. Because after Lulu got up from her crazy landing, one of her back legs wouldn't work. Like, at all. Our humans even had to carry her back to the car and Lulu isn't exactly little. Or light.

The vet was worried about something called an ACL, or thought maybe Lulu's hip popped out, so they pumped her full of drugs and did some xrays. Nothing really showed up, so the vet sent Lulu home to rest and sent the xrays to an expert. Word from the xray expert will come today and we want it to be good, no-surgery news.

So please send juju to Lulu's right back leg. Here's what she looks like, so you know exactly where to send it:

OK! Now, for the lucky winner of the Mr. Chewy's snack giveaway.....

Out of 80 comments, The Randomizer thought 6 was a good number and 6 = Spike. So congratulations Spike & Laurie! Yesterday was their three year anniversary together and now they celebrate it again with supertasty Carnivore Crunch.

Spike, have your human send my human an email with your address so we know where to send your eatables. You can mail me at dailypuglet -at- gmail.com.

HAPPINESS DELIVERED

Thanks to a comment yesterday from Dutchess the pug, today I get to show you all the stuff Mr. Chewy sent me. For the record, the box came two whole days earlier than it was supposed to but my Gimpy Brained, China-handed, Benedryl comatose human completely forgot it ever came.

That's right. An entire box of eatables sat unopened for FIVE DAYS. Lucky for my human, it was totally worth the wait. The box was full of so much awesome stuff, I'm not sure where to start. Hmmm. How about these Sojos BACON treats?

Blue = BACON

Before Mr Chewy's, I'd never even seen Sojos and now I get to eat a whole entire box of them. Don't worry, Dutch isn't going to starve or anything. He got his own *pink* box of Sojos. They're peanut butter & jelly, not bacon, but that's what he gets for being such a freak about pink.

Pink = PB&J

When my human was taking these pictures, I made the mistake of telling Dutch he needs to work on the 'eyes up' part of his Jimmy. He hates Nikon so much I totally didn't think he'd listen, but now he's a Jimmying machine and I have to compete with THIS:

Dutch: Jimmy Machine?

Anyway. There was a bunch of other stuff in Mr. Chewy's box. Like treats for the other 999 pugs (grrr), turkey jerky bars, this ginormous bag of body parts and a special snack called Carnivore Crunch I picked out for a Randomizer give away. The website says it's for cats and dogs, so even the kitties can be Randomized!

If you've new and never been Randomized, it's super easy. Just leave a comment between now and 2am (Puglet time), then check back tomorrow to see if you're the lucky winner. Saying nice things about me won't make the Randomizer pick you, but you can do it anyway.
