Sid has asked us to let him rest all morning and afternoon so that he can have as much energy as possible for the festivities later today. There may be a sweet potato in his future (of which I imagine he’s dreaming of right now).
We wish you all a food-and-treat-filled Thanksgiving!
Sid was worried he’d be the only neighborhood pug at Prospect Park on July 4th.
But, when we arrived at the Long Meadow for off-leash hours, there were already six – SIX! – pugs running around like maniacs in celebration of our nation’s independence.
Eddie was there, leading the pack…
And Winston made his official off-leash hours debut!
The lovely Lola couldn’t get enough of Winston’s puppy energy…
And Sid’s friend Bruno brought along a new buddy…meet Pugsley!
If patriotism were measured in licks, snorts, and circular high-speed chases, these pugs would be right up there with Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin.
Get this pug’s face on a dollar bill, stat!
I found a list tucked away in Sid’s bed. It was hard to read the paw-writing, but from what I could decipher, it read:
“Resolutions for 2011:
1. Eat more food.
2. Eat more treats.
3. Figure out how to climb to the top of the fridge where the food and treats are stored so I can eat more food and eat more treats.
4. Figure out where they hid the Tupperware.”
Happy New Year’s from Brian, Jenn and Sid!
After Sid had plucked all the chickens from the coop, he was ready to move on to more dangerous critters: S-S-S-S-SNAKES!
Aunt Erin and Uncle Will got Sid a Snake in the Grass toy by Kyjen for Christmas. The puzzle-type toys really get Sid fired up and this one provided an added twist – elastic. There are four snakes inside the “grass” – 1 baby snake that is removable and 3 larger snakes that stay attached to the grass via elastic bands. So now when Sid extracts a snake, it flings around on the elastic as he hunts for the rest.
The baby snake is his favorite.
Since words can only do so much, here is another “Sid Vid” that demonstates Sid’s snake hunting destroying skills.
By the way, the music featured is Brooklyn’s own Baby Soda who I caught the other night at Bar Bès. They play really great old-time toe-tappin’ jazz.
We had a great Christmas this year in NY, and despite our worries about surviving the winter weather, Christmas day actually turned out to be extremely clement (I write this as we are currently mid-blizzard – more on that in another post).
Sid ended up with two new puzzle toys that have instantly become his current favorites. One of these puzzle toys was a Martha Stewart Chicken Coop which has 3 tiny chicks that live inside of a plush house.
Happy Holidays from Sid, Jenn, and Brian!
Pug Slope, INC had its first holiday party this weekend and Sid got a little out of control.
After drinking an entire bottle of Red Cat wine, he tried to start a fight with a plush potato. The potato won.
After that embarrassment, he hobbled over to his bed and zonked out. We found him the next morning in this pathetic state.
Luckily, with an ever-shedding pug in our home, there’s always plenty of “hair of the dog” for those rough mornings.
