Hi Everyone!
Hope you all are doing well. Happy New Year from me and my dad. It’s been crazy cold here in Chicago the past two weeks so I haven’t really gone on any epic adventures or gotten into any mischief worth mentioning.
Mostly just the routine of dashing outside, bundled up to the max of course, just to do my business and then hurrying back inside for my treat.
Other than that, it’s been mostly naps. One of my beds is right next to the radiator and the sunbeams stream in through the large window and onto my back. The only thing that could possibly make that any better would be if someone would supply me an endless stream of baby carrots to snack upon while I lounge (hint, hint dad).
Oh, that photo of me relaxing is actually from Christmas, when I was at my grandpugrents house cuddling with the new stuffed elephant I got from Santa. I basically went bonkers unwrapping gifts (many not even intended for me) and so I needed a rest afterwards!
Stay warm everyone and be sure to bundle up if you’re heading outside!

Hello Everyone!
Wishing you all Happy Holidays this year from me and Sid!

In order to get fully prepared for the holidays, Sid has been extending his afternoon naps by 45 mins for the past two weeks.
This extra rest will help fuel the madness that occurs when he is in the presence of wrapped Christmas presents and holiday snacks (especially those that have dropped to the floor). I think he’s on to something here!

By now, you probably all know what Sid looks like from a distance.
But today, I wanted to show some of the little pug details up close. Let’s start with his front paws. Sid has really long quicks, so his nails tend to be on the longer side since they can’t be trimmed very close.
Here’s his extra puffy tail (in uncurled mode). If you look closely you can even see a clump of loose fur sitting on top of his back. Yep, all that was just from a few butt scratches. Pugs are never-ceasing shedding machines.
And finally, here is one of his teeny back paws, one of my favorite parts. It’s amazing to me how those tiny little paws can support a pug’s body. Although I suppose around 80% of the pug’s weight distribution is up front, so those back paws don’t have to hold too much weight relatively speaking.
Oh, and one of my other favorite parts you can see in the photo above — THE SQUISHY ROLLS!!!

Hey everyone! I’m sorry that Sid and I haven’t posted much this month. November just flew by!
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got stuffed on good food last weekend. Sid and I took a trip out to the suburbs to hang with my family during the long weekend.
As would be expected, Sid was a huge help in the kitchen. He made sure the floor stayed immaculately clean!
We took a nice walk in the forest preserve with my mom and her newly-adopted Havenese, Peaches!
Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get a good picture of Sid and Peaches together, but they teamed up to make sure every square inch of the forest was thoroughly sniffed.
We also got to spend some time with my two nieces. They are huge fans of Sid and the feeling appeared to be mutual.
He doesn’t roll over for a belly rub for just anybody!
We had a relaxing time escaping the city for a bit and spending time with family and eating some tasty food. Hope your Thanksgiving was the same!

This past Friday, while we were just sitting around minding our own business, this happened:
I think Sid figured out something was up when I had to pull his box of winter clothes down from the closet shelf. Sorry, buddy, but it’s time to break out the fleece.
Boy, that was one quick autumn! Anyone else got any snow already?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
This year, Sid’s costume required me to break out my (limited) sewing and assembly skills. And while putting it together, I knew he was probably worried about what I was going to transform him into this year.
Well, here you go…freshly-picked from our garden to you:
Although Sid seemed pretty comfortable in the outfit (one of his favorite treats are baby carrots), after a few pictures he was done: “Ok, I’m outta here, weirdo”.
We hope you have a fantastic Halloween and get ALL OF THE TREATS!
