Can I Get A Little Cool Whip To Wash This Whipped Cream Down?

Penny enjoyed a nice outing to Starbucks today.
There was a van in front of us with a dog
sticking his head out the window, and
when he approached the pick-up
window, the baristas gave
him some whipped cream
too! I think Penny
started a trend
here in Vegas.

I take no responsibility for this!
At least I don't let her suck on
the whipped cream nozzle.
Okay, maybe I did once
at home. Just
kidding!

Her lips never touched the nozzle.
I just let the whipped cream
drop into her mouth.

We've also been gearing up for the Holidays.
I will be scouring our garage for the
Christmas decorations. I can't wait!
I still haven't started my X-mas
shopping, but Penny's grandma
bought her a cute Christmas
t-shirt and sweater, and
I'm excited for them to
get here! I hope
they fit.

I think Penny may have gained one or two pre-Holiday pounds.
She has her vet check up on Thursday, and I suspect the
doctor is going to give me a lecture and some tips on
how to lower her weight. I would have to disagree
she is overweight. Some doctors have told me
she is at a great weight for her size,
while others say she is too beefy.
I guess we'll see! I hope
everyone is having
a great week!

I'm Feeling Better. Please Bring Me My Whipped Cream!

Penny is feeling better today! She spent most of the
afternoon barking at the guys in our condo who
were here to replace our water heater.
We woke up this morning to find we
didn't have hot water! Penny
can’t be expected to take
a cold bath!

She is up and playing with her toys. She even felt like
posing for a photo! She'll probably spend this
weekend eating whipped cream, watching
cartoons and going for a few walks
while she's on the mend from
this sickness. We hope
everyone has a great
weekend!

Sick Sexy Pug

Hey everyone!

Penny and I haven't had much time to write this week.
We've been spending a lot of time at the vet. One
morning Penny woke me up, and I could tell
something was really wrong. The slight
cough she has had for a couple of
weeks, was suddenly worse. She
wasn't acting like her sexy
self.

The doctors ran some tests and had to keep Penny for
a few hours. They finally had the results in after
a long 24 hour wait. While she was at the vet,
the office received numerous worrisome, and
obsessive calls from me. "How's my baby,
is she scared? If you could rate her
nervousness on a scale of 1 to 10
what would it be? When can I
pick her up?"

I don't do well when she is away.
I think I have more separation
anxiety than she has. We're
a perfect match for one
another.

We found out from the x rays, Penny has a lung infection,
as well as an intestinal infection. She also has a pretty
severe case of arthritis in her back legs. The doctor
has her started on some strong antibiotics and
cough meds.

She's on the road to recovery and enjoying being waited on
hand and foot. She is watching cartoons all day and
sleeping. No sickness can keep a beefy sexy pug
down! I'll let you know how she is doing and
we really appreciate all the well wishes!

Penny and I would also like to give a shout out
to all those that are serving and have served
in the military! Especially to my brother
Brett, who is overseas serving in the
Navy right now!

Happy Veterans Day!

Sitting By The Window Looking Sexy

Penny has been by the window all day
working on her tan. I told her to put
on some SPF 70, but she never
listens. Hope everyone is
having a great
weekend!

Her Heart Belongs To The Whipped Cream

Penny means well. She really does. Yet, today at the veterinary
office, Penny did something that shocked the staff and had
them laughing for a while. Penny went in to get a nail
trim, and the staff wanted to reward her bravery by
giving her a treat. Penny had the treat in her
mouth for about 1 second, before it rolled
out of her mouth and onto the floor. She
was like a Pez dispenser. Spitting out
treats has become Penny's way of
saying "No thank you, do you
have something a dash
sweeter?"

She just gives the person giving her the treat this
bewildered look as if to say "What is it? You
should know better! This treat tastes worse
than cat poop. Try again. I love you."

She did get her favorite treat after her appointment though!
Nothing calms her nerves like whipped cream!

Don't Be Afraid. My Tofurky Won't Bite

"Make me my Tofurky. Throw in some of that
green bean casserole too!"



Penny and I recently picked up our Thanksgiving Tofurky!
It's a little early I know, but the stores run out
quickly. Not many have tried it, unless they
happen to be vegetarian or vegan. A lot of
people have commented to me over the
years on how fearful they are to
try a meat substitute.

I recommend experiencing it!
Sometimes you have to
acquire a taste for
new things, but
it's worth it!

It's really not as scary as it seems.
Come on... taste it.

Do any of you pugs have a favorite
meal for the Holidays?
