Great Weekend!!!

I teased you about my plans for the weekend, so here's the scoop.

I got to meet Suki!!! http://shorttailsofsuki.blogspot.com/

We don't have many photos, because Suki's mom is a great photographer, so we left the picture taking to her. Here's one of the city of Austin.

Suki and her mom came to my agility trial on Saturday, and we got to meet for the first time. Suki is adorable. She's tiny, but mighty. She was in constant motion, and wanted to meet everyone she saw. She is just adorable. She got to see me run agility, and thought I did pretty good.

After my run was over, we went back to the hotel to pick up Arnie and dad. Arnie's more like Suki, so they got along famously. Lots of wiggly and wagging going on.

Suki and her mom took us to a great pizza place, where we got to sit on the patio with the humans. http://homeslicepizza.com/ Arnie and Suki were very well behaved while pizza and beer was consumed, but I managed to sneek a lick. Busted!

Then we went to the Austin Botanical Gardens, where dogs are allowed. It was a beautiful day, and walking through the flowers and trees was relaxing.

After walking around, we planned to meet the next day at agility again, then we went back to the hotel to chill.

That night, we decided to head back down to Austin, which was hopping. We walked around a lot (it's a VERY dog friendly city), then had some Thai food at a food truck. We got lots of attention from people walking by, and Arnie managed to eat out of a soy sauce packet he found on the ground. After a quick stop for cupcakes http://www.heycupcake.com/ we headed home.

Suki and her mom came to agility the next day, too. Her and Arnie cheered me on, in between playing.

Agility itself didn't bring any ribbons or Q's, but I did really well. A few bobbles kept me from qualifying, but mom said I'm really doing good. We show again in a few weeks, so hopefully I do a little better.

All in all, an AWESOME weekend. Suki and her mom were so nice to show us around their town. We made plans to get together again, maybe soon.....I'll keep you posted.

Running Pug Weekend

I have a big weekend planned. Agility trial in Austin, where I get to meet a special someone. I'll keep that a secret until next week, when I fill you in on the fun. In the meantime, I have to rest up for my runs. I'm in Excellent level now, so the pressure's on.

Cranking out the juju

We heard that our friend, Payton, needed good juju today. So we sent her some - hoping it helps.

We're really increasing the output of juju today at our house. This morning, my boxer sister, Snap, went to the vet to have some lumps removed. Boxers get "C" a lot, so any lumps and bumps get dealt with immediately.

She's not feeling good tonight. So we're sharing Payton's juju with Snap. Hoping they've dodged the big "C", and that they both feel better soon.

Juju needed

A friend of mine if fighting the big C. He's not a pug, but is an agility dog.

His name is Dash, and he's a sheltie. A little disclosure - mom's not a sheltie fan. Not that they're not great dogs, but just not for her (her mom had a sheltie, and that sealed the deal for her).

But Dash is the bestest sheltie in the world. Hands down. And lots of people think that. In fact, that's his nickname.

But now he's fighting the C, and could use the good juju. His mom is doing all she can to beat it, but there's never enough help to go around when it comes to our buddies.

Cuteness Alert - PugOWeen Recap

We went to our second DFW Pug Rescue Pug-O-Ween Party. Mom and dad had good intentions in the "awesome costume" department, but the move and dad's crazy work hours got in the way. So we dragged out the costume box, and wore what was in there.

I went as my signature pirate. Got lots of oohs and aahhs. And treats. Always a good thing.

Arnie went with his jester collar. He's NUTS in a costume, and mom ends up readjusting it constantly. So she went with simple and low maintenance.

She wanted low maintenance so that she could take lots of pictures. First stop, snack table. There were so many awesome looking cupcakes and cookies, but mom isn't a big sweet food person, and dad wasn't hungry. So we just looked.

Watching the costume contest.

3 Pugs in a Tub. Not the greatest shot, but they were so popular, mom couldn't get close to them.

A scary witch.

Plenty of food themed costumes.

Dad just loved this little butterfly.

Mom loved these guys - a Pug-kin Patch.

Another shot of that scary witch.

Celebrities were there, too. This is Marilyn.

This is Lady Gaga.

At the end of the day, we did get to visit the snack table. Mom got us some minty treats, and there are no photos because we gobbled them up so fast!
