Memorial Day Weekend was EXHAUSTING!

Wow, what a weekend. We went to Arlington so Mommy and Daddy could show me off to Mommy's family (and I think there was a baseball game and a birthday or something, I'm not sure).


Daddy said to thank Peter for the "dog-warming" gift, and to let him know I got a kennel... I'm not sure what that is, but I hope it's edible.

Daddy's day off

Daddy had the day off today so we got to spend all day together. We played in the back yard some, and I found a smorgasbord of leaves to chew on beside the patio. Daddy doesn't seem to like it much when I chew on his face, but I'm sure he'll come around to it eventually.

I had a couple more battles with Froggy, and I discovered some kind of invisible force field separating the back yard from the kitchen. I was trying to come inside but I suddenly smashed my face into something. I must have hit my head pretty hard too, because I could see a faint reflection of myself.

Daddy sure thought it was funny. I'll get him later.

There ain't enough room in this house for the both of us, Froggy!!

I have found my nemesis. He's a little green frog with a football head and flat rubber feet. He had been laying quietly by my bed for the last few days, but today he attacked me!

Well, I may be small, but I won't be taking that kind of abuse from some crazy amphibian! I think I showed him who's boss. He hasn't tried any tricks on me since, but I'll be watching him closely.... That little generic smile won't fool me.

Daddy's Tummy is so firm!

When I need to lay on a soft surface, I crawl into my bed. But when I need good, solid support, the best place to lay is on Daddy's tummy. His abdomen muscles are so firm! He's really been doing his sit-ups!

I can finally eat!!

It's about time!

Mommy finally took off my stupid itchy collar today so I could eat. Apparently, they expected me to eat my food with that big metal tag banging against the bowl. I don't think so, not with that noise!

Think about it, when you sit down for a nice meal, would you want someone banging a spoon against your plate? Seriously.

Anyway, now I've finally got a full belly, so it's back to sleep for me.

I love this bed!

Mommy and Daddy bought a bed for me, but I much prefer this blanket I discovered by the couch. So comfy!

This is me with my brand new collar and tag. Mommy and Daddy think it's cute, I just think it itches.

My first blog!

Hello everybody!

My name is Lucy and I just moved to the Metroplex in Dallas. I'm a Puggle, which is a mix between a Pug and a Beagle. So basically, I have a Beagle body with a pug-like face (but not quite as "pugly").

I'm 9 weeks old, and you'll excuse me if I'm a little antisocial right now, but I've been a little bit sick. Mommy and Daddy took me to the vet right after they got me and they found out that I had a little bit of a fever (how they discovered this, I will not divulge, for it was quite intrusive!)

So Daddy has to give me yucky medicine every day. They told me I wouldn't taste it, but how does a vet really know? It's not like we can tell them how gross it is! Sheesh!

Anyway, here is the first picture my daddy took of me.
