I hope you liked my PUGWATCH video. I have to admit it was fun to make because I loved splashing in the waves of Lake Michigan. The chilly water definitely did a good job of keeping me cool.
Speaking of chilly, it’s like almost FREEZING outside today. What the pug?! We had the A/C running non-stop at P.S.H.Q. earlier this week and today I wished I had a jacket on for my morning walk because it was so brisk outside. I guess the seasons are starting to change.
I’m hoping to have at least one more good summer adventure so I’m packing my travel bag and heading to Wisconsin again. I hope the weather won’t be too cold for a refreshing dip in good ol’ Delmonte Lake!
Sid told me he had such a great time splashing in the waves last weekend with Donald and Daisy and their ‘rents, that he wanted to make an “epic video”. I think that is the only way to describe what he came up with. He said he consulted with tons of “reference” material to make sure he got all the details just right.
May I present to you Sid’s latest masterpiece — PUGWATCH!
He told me to tell you all to watch it on youtube in HD because he spent “hours on the CGI” and also that he did all his own stunts.
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a nice relaxing Labor Day weekend. I was glued to a pillow about 85% of the time but the other 15% was filled with an ADVENTURE! Not only did it involve the dog beach, but it also involved some very special guests.
Guess who?!
Why it was none other than the petite pair, Donald and Daisy (from Pug-a-Boo) along with their ‘rents, Christy and Tim.
When we arrived at Foster Beach the sun was shining brightly, the temperature was pleasantly warm but not pug-melting, and there was a nice breeze coming in off the water. Donald and I immediately took off through the sand and barked “hello” to the other dogs also out enjoying the fine day.
The two dudes cruising for adventure.
It is an understatement to say that Daisy wasn’t a huge fan of the sand, and although she did hobble around a bit, her tail expressed her true feelings on the subject.
The lovely, though a bit perturbed, Daisy and me.
We tried to get some group photos but all three of us pugs did not feel like sitting still. There were far to many new smells to sniff, dogs to chase, and humans that potentially had treats.
Tim was able to wrangle Donald and Daisy for a nice photo, but I was off romping through the waves at this point. I guess it truly is a challenge to keep three pugs in one place at the same time!
I’ll have to tell you all about the insane waves and our outdoor lunch later this week! To be continued…
While I was away this past weekend, Sid got to enjoy a staycation at home with his special guests / pug caretakers extraordinaire, Aunt Anna and Uncle Andrew. The overall report was generally good and although A & A had to deal with Sid’s mopey/stubborn side, they also got to experience his sweet/cuddly side.
Here’s a few photos that Aunt Anna took during her weekend at PugSlope HQ:
Look how low I’ll go for a baby carrot!

LOOK AT HOW PATIENTLY I’M SITTING HERE! NOW MAKE WITH THE BABY CARROTS!
Oh, that? It’s just my SUPER AWESOMELY DELICIOUS CHEW-CHEW-CHEWABLE DEER ANTLER, that’s all.
Thank you to A & A for taking such great care of my loveable, difficult, cuddly, hilarious, grouchy little dude.
Sorry that it’s been a while since you heard from me directly. As you know, I lead a pretty busy life so I usually delegate posting duty to my unpaid intern (aka “Brian” or “Dad”). Well, this time I’m typing with my very own paws. Notice, however that you’re not hearing the usual tap-tap-tap…that’s because I got my nails trimmed. See I am entertaining some special guests this weekend and I have to make sure I’m in top form.
My intern, er, Dad, is going away for the weekend to someplace with waterslides and go-karts and other things someone his age should have probably long outgrown. While he’s away, I’ve got two awesome humans coming over to man the PugSlope Headquarters and administer my treats (they’ll be taking me on walks, too, but let’s be frank – treats are the numero uno priority-o). I want to make a good impression, so in addition to my nail trimming (technically “dremeling”) I also got a full-service bath and all my beds were washed and dried (again, by my intern). Everything smells like coconuts.
I’ll let you guys know what I get up to when my Pops returns. Let’s just say I’ve got a feeling I’m going to be S-P-O-I-L-E-D!
PUG SLOPE chronicles the adventures of a pug named Sid as he navigates his way through the world. He was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, started the blog in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and is currently calling Chicago, Illinois his home.
