Queen of Pug Mountain!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:31:00 +0000

Even though this picture looks incriminating, I did not pee on this pawticular pile of laundry today.
I know many pups have an affinity for piles of laundry and I am no exception. I can expect a nice soft mountain every Sunday afternoon at Casa de Pug. These are dirty towels though so I punished daddy for his laziness by making pee on a pile of his clothes. The look on his face was definitely worth the scolding I got when he found out.

Pug-O-Weeeeen!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:19:00 +0000

Hi pups- sorry I've been gone so long. Mom started a new job (!) and I went on vacation for about 10 days up at the Big House. While I was relaxing with Moj, Trigs, Jake and Chili, mom and dad were traveling. They visited lots of places, including some old dude made of rock in South Dakota,
A big dark hole in the earth,
the place where people used to live in scary steep cliffs,
mountains!
(pretty!)
and finally, the place where they played lots of loud music.
When we all got home, mama put together a new shop while I supervised (notice my watchful eye).
Since then, we've been busy thinking about Pug-O-Ween and trying to decide how to dress up.
If I look a little worried in this picture it's because I think this costume is a little crazy. A c-a-t AND a skelly-ton?
This doesn't make any sense... Maybe the altitude is still affecting mama's brain?
Need I remind you that I do NOT get along with c-a-t-s?
Enough with the kitty ears! Underneath the skelly-ton I am wearing my snowpeople jammies. It has been so cold and SNOWY here. We're not really ready for winter, but what is a puggy to do besides burrow in some warm blankies to stay warm? What do you doggies do to stay warm?

Neglected

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 04:23:00 +0000

We have been neglecting my blog. Sorry about that. But do you know who else has been neglected?

ME.

Mom got a new job two weeks ago which she is totes excitered about but it keeps her away from home for many hours a day. This makes me a super sad puggy.
Luckly she feels really guilty and gives me extra treats and lovins when we're together. Here is a shot of me this morning while mom and I were playing with my blanket. Can you see how happy this attention makes me?
I am basically as cute as ever but I am hoping to put an end to this mommy-goes-to-work business. Any ideas?

(My First) Wordless Wednesday

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:13:00 +0000

OMD! I'm Baaaaaaaaack!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:47:00 +0000

OMD you guys, it has been sooo long since we updated. Mom hasn't had her pooter fixed because she still does not have a jay oh bee... But she has been taking lots of pictures anyway and we FINALLY were able to convince Dad to put them on his pooter. So without further ado, my summer (so far) in pictures (and some words):

My broo-ti-ful pug mug
Little Chili Dog & me at the Big HouseCan you spot brother Mojo on the camouflage rug?
At uncle J's cabin- I LOVE to swim in that lake!
My new hula girl look (so what if the skirt is a little snug!)
I'm all smiles
I hope everydoggy has been having a pugalicious summer so far!

Mojo's Turn

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Sun, 17 May 2009 20:17:00 +0000

Mojo here.

The 'puter is still broken and we have pictures but no way to share them. But I gets so jelly of all the time Suki gets on the internets. Suki told me I could share my nicknames today and so here they are:

Mojito
Mojicito
Mo-ji
Mojie-moj
No-jo (when I'm being particularly naughty)
Buddy
Buddy Mojo
Buddy Pug
Fatty Pug (I object!)
Face

Thanks to Sukes for letting me have some time on the internets. Peace outs.

Technology Problems

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:17:00 +0000

Just in time for my second barkday, mom's computer broke... AGAIN. I won't be able to show off my pawsome b-day pictures until it is up and running once more. It won't even boot up- it's a sad sad Mac. But in honor of my big day I will share a list of my various nicknames. Won't you share yours too?

Suki Duki
Sukes
Pootie
Pootie Pants
Booty
Doodee
Tuk-tuk
Pug-a-lug
Wormy pug
Tootie, or Tooter, or Rudy Tootie Fresh and Fruity

Happy Happy Happy!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Sun, 10 May 2009 19:36:00 +0000

There are two reasons why today is special. First, it is mother's day and we want to send lots of love to mamas, baby mamas, pug mamas and general dog mamas.
The second reason it's a spectacular special day is because today is my 2nd barkday! I spent the morning lounging in true pug style.
Now mom is going to take me to PetSmart to get some treats and good barkday lovin'. Then- the bark park! Hopefully I'll post pictures soon.

Unsuspecting Pug

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 23:39:00 +0000

Mom and I have this little game. It's called Unsuspecting Pug. Can you guess what we do? Here is a tutorial.

I spy with my bulging puggy eyes an INTRUDER...
The chompy hand! You must strike the hand before it strikes you!
You never know when the hand will strike, hence the name of the game. You don't want to be an unsuspecting pug.
We usually play this game in the morning before we get out of beds.

Toe Terrorist

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:52:00 +0000

Mojo has been terrorizing mom all morning by nibbling* at her big people toes unexpectedly. He did it when she sat on the couch to check her email, while she was washing her face and while in the closet picking out clothes to wear today. Do any of you doggins show love for your peeps in this way?
She's not sure how to make him STOP and it's freaking her out! Hahahahaha!

*By nibbling, I mean BITING!

Am I Famerous?

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:39:00 +0000

A while back I posted this picture that my mom took of me:
And today we found this listing for a painting on Etsy.

Does anyone else see a resemblance!? Mom thinks so, right down to my head marking and my chinny-chin-chin. I wonder if I was the pug-spiration for that painting? If you read the description, it's even named after me.

Or are we crazy?

*Update: We contacted the artist and she was commissioned by someone else with a pug named Suki. What a crazy CUTE coincidence. We had to buy it.

Cuddly Monday

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:36:00 +0000

Yesterday we went to the Bark Park and had all kinds of fun. We're still in puggy recovery mode.
Aren't we handsome siblings?

Long Time, LAZY Mama.

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 16:01:00 +0000

OMD, it has been like a million puggy years since we have blogged. And it is my mom's fault entirely. She worked a lot through Christmas, and now she doesn't have a jay-oh-bee at all and has been searching and searching. No more school, either. So what has she been spending all her time on? Crafting. Seriously, crafting. NOT blogging. But not completely ignoring us puggies, so we can't complain too much.

The first thing I want to say is a big public bloggy THANK YOU to my bff Clover for the Christmas package she sent us last month. We really enjoyed the giftables! And we're really sorry we didn't post about it sooner. Here are the pictures of us opening and enjoying this loveryly package:

Inspecting the package.
(If you biggify this picture you can see some paper stuck to my flat nose)OMD treats!
Gingerbread Man! This is our favorite toy right now. The squeaking drives us bonkers (in a good way!). Mom and dad came up with a silly little voice for Gingerbread Man. He also came with a gingerbread bone but we ripped its guts out, literally.
This is my favorite toy of all time- ROPE SQUIRREL! Rope Squirrel is pawfect in every way and I love her so.
We also love- err, loved Squishy Carrot. We also ripped out Squishy Carrot's guts.
And we saved the best part for last. These are by far the most tasty TREATS we have ever eaten. Seriously, you won't believe the tricks I'll do for these potato and cheese treats!
See? Sit AND down at the same time. All for the treats.
THANK YOU, CLOVER! And we are so sorry for being so rude and waiting a month to make this blog post.

Other than that, we don't have much to update. It has been cold- colder than usual. Auntie Sara made us some scarfs so we've been in full cuddle mode.
Pugs out!

Merry Christmas!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 01:27:00 +0000

Merry Christmas, friends!
We had an eventful holiday. First we celebrated dad's birthday at Nana Rita's house (that's dad's mom) and then we spent the night at the Big House with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Maui, Kinsy, Trigger, Jake and Chili! It was a FULL house and none of us got much sleep.

Here are some pictures from dad's birthday celebration with our friends. Dad had a CHEESEcake and I really wanted all that FOOD.
Auntie Sara was a bad influence on Mojo and he stole a few licks of the sauce. Don't worry! The bottle was empty.
These are some pictures of our Christmas togetherness. We got some really pawesome gifts!
Next post I am going to tell you all about the special package that came all the way from Canada for us!

And since it's a special day and we're not doing much of anything right now I am going to let mom take care of a meme she was tagged to do by Ike's mom. Warning: She is kind of a geek.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I really like wrapping but I try to use as little packaging as possible. If we have left over gift bags I use those first.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. I am very allergic to pine.

3. When do you put up the tree? The first or second weekend in December.

4. Wreath on your door? I bought one from the neighborhood boy scout this year and I love it. It's real but since it's outside and frozen I can have it!

5. Do you like eggnog? Only soy nog. I've never liked real egg nog.

6. Favourite Christmas gift received as a child? I don't remember many gifts but this cool Lego type toy with little plastic people and a Rainbow Brite I got when I was about 2 years old in New Mexico. It's crazy how clearly I can remember that Christmas. This year I am not a child but Leo and I received a Wii from my parents and that's pretty cool!

7. Easiest person to buy for? It is really fun to shop for Leo and he seems to like the things I get him.

8. Least easiest? My dad. He buys whatever he really wants himself and I can't afford the tools and things that are left over. I usually end up getting him consumables like bourbon.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? No, but they are interesting. My mom has a beautiful ceramic nativity that my grandma made her with a teeny tiny hay bale that I really loved as a kid.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, and only a handful.

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? One year my work did a secret Santa gift exchange and I put a lot of effort into my person but all I got was a weird penguin ornament that was obviously used. That was pretty bad.

12. Favourite Christmas Movie? How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon), Home Alone and Elf.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? After Thanksgiving.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Probably, but I can't remember a time right now.

15. Open presents on Christmas eve or morning? My family used to open them on Christmas Eve night until I started dating Leo. Now I celebrate his birthday with his mom and him on the 24th and we open presents with my family on the 25th.

16. Lights on the tree? Strictly white- no colors!

17. Favourite Christmas song? Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. I just can't get enough of that song. I also get a kick out of that George Michael song because it is so ridiculous.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Travel to my parents' house about 30 minutes away.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph. I had to ask for Leo's help a little (the puggies had no idea).

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? A glittery star.

21. Favourite thing to eat at Christmas? Wild rice, candied yams and anything sweet.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Now that I'm back in retail (between jobs, whatever) for the holidays, people who wait until the last minute to shop and then get pissed off when the store is out of the things they want.

23. Favourite Tree ornament, theme or colour? I like reds and golds and a white moose ornament that says "Jenny" on it.

24. Favourite for Christmas dinner? Turkey and mashed or twice-baked potatoes.

25. Brussels Sprouts - love or hate them? They're alright but I prefer peas or green beans.

26. Favourite accompaniment to the Christmas Pud? I have never had a Christmas Pud. Will someone please tell me what that is?

27. Favourite Christmas Carol? O Holy Night. Just love that melody.

28. Your very Favourite Christmas Thing? Christmas morning and breakfast. I love the family togetherness.

29. A Christmas wish! Health to Kinsy and the family. And to be able to have a family of my own someday!

30. Tag a Seasonal Six – I tag anyone who hasn't done this yet.

Dad's Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 15:26:00 +0000

This is a very special day because it's dad's birthday and Christmas Eve. A lot of people are joyous and merry and giving. In honor of both of these occasions, Mojo and I present to you our recent attempt at a Christmas card photoshoot.

Welcome, Kinsy!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:43:00 +0000

Mom and dad have been busy peeps this week because Aunti Maui finally finished cooking up that baby in her belly and we have a new cousin. Hooray! Welcome to the world, Miss Kinsy!
Grandpa was so proud of Aunti Maui and is head over heels for Kinsy.
They're going to be best buddies.
She's a teeny tiny thing and we're not allowed to meet her in real life until this weekend. Mom says NO PUGGY KISSES till she gets older. She looks like a tasty little tootsie pop to me! Even our dad is in love with Kinsy!
Mom thinks he looks mighty handsome with a baby in his arms. Mojo and I are putting the kibosh on those baby ideas swimming in mommy's head. We love being the puggy babies of this house!

We woof you, Kinsy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 17:16:00 +0000

This is my second Thanksgiving feast and over the last year I have had a lot of reasons to be thankful. Here is a list of all the things I am thankful for:

1. My brother Mojo. Last weekend Moj went over to the Big House for a sleepover with Chili and I missed him terribly. Oh Mojo, how sweet it is to be loved by you.

2. Mom and dad. Mojo and I woof them and they love us too.
3. AUNTIES! They're such good friends to mommy, I love them and they spoil me so.

4. Auntie Maui gets her very own number...
...because she is cooking up a MINI AUNTIE MAUI!
(We can't wait to meet you, Kinsy! We're thankful for you already!)

5. Grandma, Grandpa, Trigger and Jakee!

6. People who leave empty beer glasses on the floor. This picture says it all.

7. Buddies like Mojo's brother, Chili!

8. Soft snuggly places.

9. The kitchen where we always have enough food to fill our pug bellies.

10. Last but certainly NOT least: Every one of my bloggy friends! Mojo, mom and I are so thankful you still want to be our buddies even as mommy is being such a bad secretary.

Happy Thanksgiving, everydog!

V-O-T-E!

Been Gone So Long

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:46:00 +0000

OMD we have been gone so long and we are steaming mad at mommy about that. Grrr!
We are still alive, but the dumps I had earlier this month did last a while. Mom thinks maybe I caught some bugs at the dog park- but I don't remember chasing any bugs! I gave the bug to Mojo (because I share like a good girl) and Grams and Gramps say we then gave our bugs to Uncle Trigger. The good part about being sick is that we got some NEW delicious food made of boiled beef and rice (mmm!). Here is what our foodables looked like when mom started weaning us back on the hard stuff.
And this is how excited we got about our yummy rice and beef! Don't we look like super happy pugs?
One thing we did on bloggy-vacation was watch the teevee with mom and dad.
The show was all about wolves and hawks and it was very interesting.
Hopefully we'll be around more often now because we totally miss blogging. Mom recently resigned from her job, got a new one AND started school for nursing so she pretends to be busy. I know she still has time to be our secretary every week and maybe dad will learn how to type. We'll see.

Dumps

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:23:00 +0000

Last week I was feeling down in the dumps... literally.
Then mom and dad went to California and we stayed at the Big House. We love the Big House but I managed to infect the other dogs there with my dumps. When mom and dad came home I found these pictures on their camera:
Definitely evidence of canoodling with another dog and an alien! WTF? Now Moj is all full of the dumps and I am so bored. We're laying around a lot.
I'm not sure how they managed to leave such cute cuddly pugs.

Who Dat?!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 03:13:00 +0000

Mom and dad took us to the dog park the other day which is pretty much our favorite destination for a CAR RIDE ever.
While we were there we met this little black and white blob that is almost impossible to catch on a camera. Who does this look like to you? I'll give you a couple guesses:

I kept barking "HEY there, have you heard of Ruby? Are you Petra? Are you related to Fig? Maybe you know my friends?"
But she was too busy to answer.
She sure was cute!

Proud to be Sassy

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 05:46:00 +0000

In my last post Kaui commented that I am becoming quite a sassy girl. I have been thinking hard about this and have come to the conclusion that it is true. I am a sassy pug. My mom is kind of a sassy thing and my aunti Jen calls me a sassafrass so I guess it runs in the family. I dug around our iPhoto archives and found plenty of sass to back up that as.... err, conclusion:Sultry pug:
Totes bored. Srsly.
Mouthy pug.
What are you looking at?
Sass is all in the eyes here:
Workin' it.
Blue Steel.
The life of the party.
Ultimate 'tude.
Rebel.
x2.
Do you agree?

Package

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 02:08:00 +0000

When mom told us she was going to pick up a package for us I said "Say what!?"
I had to guess who it was from (I can't read english because I'm a DOG) so I sniffed it really really hard.
Smells familiar!
Could it be? Is it from my bff Clover!? She knows that my favorite toy is my rope and this one has TWO ends so I can share with my brother...
Mojo decided to keep that one for himself. Harumph!
Another rope! Now we're talkin'.
OMD a super squeaky paper! Mojo goes crazy for squeakers...
And TREATS! I don't plan on sharing any of these tasty bones unless mom totally makes me.
Thank you, Clover! You are too sweet, pretty puggy.
You make Mojo feel so welcome in the dog bloggin' world!

Dang, We're Cute

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:51:00 +0000

We're Still Here!

noreply@blogger.com (Suki Sumo) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:38:00 +0000

Hey doggins. Mom and dad had an eventful day so this moving update will have to be short and sweet. We have three cute pictures of our puggy smiles to share with you first though!
We're settling into our new place just fine. We LOVE the new yard and mom and dad ordered a new FENCE for us so we can run like the wiiiind! It should arrive this week. Here we are helping out on moving day (never mind the special juice in the second photo):

And we got really dirty so we had baths.
More later!
