Obsessive pug thoughts

Just to report: Jolly visited the vet today and made friends with another black puggy girl named Violet. He weighs 12.8 pounds! He is all healthy and has had his last set of shots, dewormer, heartworm prevention and flea prevention. Also I had him microchipped. So if you are stalking him you can forget it. He only does sleepovers with his fairy pugmother or Grandpa.
We set a date after Christmas to remove his manhood (shhhhh don't tell him!) and she wants to know if I want her to do plastic surgery to enlarge his tiny smooshed nostrils. I'm not sure and I need advice on that. He will breathe better, but then again its surgery! Opinions?

For those of you bored to death by now, I offer the above image. Enjoy. And whoever mailed me a cd of christmas music (?) Thank you. ???? Im wondering did I click something on Amazon by accident. And if so, what did I accidentally not order for my kids for Christmas.

Wednesday Things

Everybody seems to enjoy Jolly in his new harness so here's a picture. Also, Mary had good news at Dr and is not cancerous! All good Wednesday news. :) Soup and chocolate for everyone!

Thoughtful Morning

We are having bitey lessons today, as Jolly does the typical puppy barracuda face attack and Rose patiently allows him to chew on her face with an occaisonal corrective growl or show of impressive fangs.
It has gotten so cold overnight that all of the backyard trees have drooped and shriveled, and all of a sudden we can see the mountains that surround our valley here.
I'm wondering if I should wait to call my friend Mary, if it's too early to intrude. Today is a big day for her with a surgery consult and news about her illness. I saw a UU article this morning and I just want to pass on the title: HANG ON. Sometimes that's all we can do.

Early Christmas for PuggerHugger

Twice in one week I am tearful over the generosity of my Ravelry friends. This time I need to post a huge THANK YOU to DEBKNITSPINS/AKA Debbie for the fantatic SOAB swap package! I've been following these threads for weeks, and enjoying the silliness. I always tend to forget that I'm supposed to GET a package, I'm so impatient for my person to receive theirs. I had already decided that its just the thought that counts and I was just kinda hoping to get some small handmade thing. WOW. Ok I took so many pictures Im not sure I can load them all, so I'll describe: 1. A very sweet letter describing everything including thoughtful comments as to how she came up with recipe ideas for my family, and kind thoughts about the pugs, and even 75 cents which is so hilarious and Im so sorry about that! She also ays she hoped I didnt mind another scarf because Im into TS group, but I plan to make all the TS scarves into a blanket or wall art, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this beautiful scarf made from her own Design! i need to get a better picture of the cool shape of it. It even has beads! She sent Peppermint hot coco (my fave) an adorable santa mug, doggie treats! Two beautiful hanks of handspun yarn in my fave colors purple n orange! Two ornaments, a Santa and a lil candycane one that really struck home with me, matching santa kitchen towels, a bag chock full of jellbeans and chocolate (yay!!!) a funny funny nun card (holy cow) LOL, yummy new chicken recipes! santa kitteh postits, hilarious! TWO skeins of knitpicks! Which Im excited I've wanted to try it for awhile, Also last but so not least, three THREE washcloths- a ballband one (is it hard? Ive heard of these) one is a Superman S in pink! And one, orange, with a paw. I am just so touched!!!! And I cant get over the scarf. Just so beautiful. Thank you so much, DEB!!!!
