We got an award :)

Our friend Coffee gave us this award. It doesn't come with any rules, other than to share it with our favorite bloggers

We are fairly new to this whole blogging thing, so I have tagged only a few (I can't count to ten either)...

Lilo, for being so adorable - and her birthday is coming up.

The Pug Posse, for being so friendly and inviting us into their home.

Walter, he needs lots of love right now.

Roxy, for coming by often to visit - that and she is missing PlusOne:)

There are so many more....I love everyone's blog.

Flashback...

Not much going on this week so far. Below is a picture of Brutus when he was just a pup. With him is my BFF Barclay the dachsund. Barclay used to live across the street, but now lives far, far away in Dayton, OH. I really miss Barclay and his brother Bruiser. I need to talk to mom & dad about taking a road trip to visit them.

I think that is a leaf in Brutus's mouth, but you can see he is keeping an eye on Barclay.

July Mini-Meetup

So mom and dad got us up on Saturday and got us ready to go to the Pug Meetup. We were so excited to see our pug buddies. Well, we had barely left the house when it started to pour down rain so mom and dad decided to turn around and go home. We were so bummed. Well not too long after we got home we found out we would still be going to the mini-meetup at the Pug Posse's home. Dad wasn't feeling well and decided to stay home... but we still had a ton of fun with everyone.

We got to meet some of our friends that know through the blogs but had not met snout to snout. Brutus got to meet another Brutus (Stacey is his mom). They were nice enough to pose for a picture together (I snuck in the photo though). Brutus has a goatee like I do.

I got a lot of buttscratches, which I really love. Denny (Pug Posse Dad) tried to give all the pugs plenty of buttscratches. He is so nice.

I sat for a while on Jessica's lap (Lilo's mom).

Some of the Pug Posse...

Hank, Lilo, and Harley waiting patiently for some treats...

Brutus was all tuckered out when we got home.

Since it was raining out, we had to stay inside and I think mom said there were 19 pugs inside the house. We had a great time and thank Vicki, Denny, and the Pug Posse for being so gracious and inviting us into their home.

Walkin'

It was a busy weekend. Mom and dad went to a 4th of July festival yesterday. We were pretty bummed when we found out they weren't taking us with them. When they got home we found out it had rained all day (serves 'em right for not taking us with them!). Actually, Brutus and I don't like the rain so we are glad that we didn't get to go - we just lounged around the house all day waiting for mom and dad to get home. They did tell us that they saw Lilo and her family as well as the Pug Posse's family - less the pug posse (glad to know we weren't the only ones that got left at home).

So anyway, mom and dad must have been feeling guilty about leaving us at home yesterday because they took us for a nice long walk.

Here is dad with Brutus walkin' through the 'hood.

Hey, wait for meeee!!!

It was a very long walk and I was so tired when we got home that I just laid down and enjoyed the sun. It was nice to see the sun finally come out.

I overheard dad tell mom that they need to take us on more of these walks - That would be wonderful as I really love walks but I'll believe it when I see it.

Visitors

We had some visitors this week. As you know mom and dad have been watching our furry little (big) cousin Winston. Well earlier this week we got a surprise, Winstons daddy, his two furless sisters and his little furry brother Tolkein came to visit and spend the week with us (They live near Chicago and we don't get to visit with them very often). Oh how fun!! It would have been nicer if mom and dad didn't have to go to work, but we have had fun with the girls, Winston and Tolkein. Here is a picture of Winston and Brutus.

Here is Tolkein. He kind of looks like our kitty sister, Einstein (mom snuck a picture of Einstein in the last post). He is about as big as Einstein too.

Here is a picture of our cousin Kendra and me attacking, er I mean greeting her with bunches of pug kisses. I think she enjoyed it, just look at the smile on her face. I am just a blur of motion.

This is Madelynn giving Brutus a big hug. Aren't they sweet :)

Tolkein and I decided to chill on the couch. My goodness what big ears he has - I think they are bigger than his head.

Mom and dad have the day off tomorrow - I am sure they are going to spend the entire day with us. What else would they have to do? Til next time, keep the tails up and noses sniffing for food.
