Off to the Dog Shows

Pudge and I are headed to Ft. Wayne this weekend for his first shows. He's entered in the puppy classes and it should be fun and good practice for him. I have no idea how he will react in the ring. Hopefully, he'll walk on the lead ok LOL!

Here's a picture of him taken today. He's such a doll!

Pug Homework Help

My son lays on the floor to snuggle with the Pugs while doing his homework and Ingrid is his official helper. If he doesn't know the answer to something, she is always there to help him out (in between naps of course). Yes, she really does get up and lay on his back like this everyday (:

Lots of Pugs

Here are the "kids" playing outside. I just had to grab my video camera and take some footage of them as they are a hoot to watch. Much better than TV (: The small fawn puppy is Tebbie, who is now in her new home. It was hard to part with her but I feel very blessed that she went to such a great home!

Lots of Pugs

Fawn Pug Envelopes

Just finished these up and I love how they turned out. These are so much fun to print and tuck a note card in to send to family and friends.



Price: US$2.99

More Pug Pendants

I've been having so much fun creating these bubble charm pendants. This one I just listed in my Etsy shop and it's made from my original Pug artwork. I've made and sold several of these actually and wearing one as we speak. I've made the flat ones as well but these bubble charms are my favorite. I guess because the way they magnify the image and also they just simply "Feel" good to the touch.

I've had several requests for these pendants in black and I'm working on that. I know many of you have black Pugs and I think these would look darling in black as well.

I think these will make nice little Christmas gifts and if you are on a budget (who isn't in this economy right!?), they are quite affordable at $18 and this includes shipping within the U.S.A. If interested, just visit my Etsy Shop.

Thank you again everyone and I enjoyed this so much that I'll have another contest soon.

Pug on a diet

Ingrid is on a diet and she's none too happy about it either. I noticed a couple weeks ago that she was looking a little "thicker" and decided she needs to watch her figure...much to her chagrin. I'm pretty sure she has been sneaking food as I caught her the other day trying to knock over the bag of dog food.

As you can see laying down she resembles a furry sausage. Shhh, don't tell her I said that or she definitely won't speak to me...at least until dinner time. So anyway it was time to cut the calories.



This is her reaction to the news that she is officially on a diet and giving me the "stink eye".
