No More Weave Poles!

Hi everyone!

We had a lot of fun this past Saturday at the Seattle Kennel Club show. This is a big event with vendors, show dogs and agility all held in a convention center.

Here are some pictures of the event floor. The first floor held the vendors, show dog rings and the agility ring. The second floor was a "Meet the Breed" and support for shelter groups area. There were about a million people and dogs there!! Ok, maybe just a few hundred or so, but still, lots of doggies and their humans.








Charlie was not in the mood for agility this weekend. She would sort of do Ok on the jumps and tunnels but would absolutely refuse to do the weave poles. And when Charlie does not want to do something she just plants her little feet and looks up at you with her big brown eyes. There is no way to coax her into completing the weave poles. On her second and final fun of the day her Grandma had had enough and just scooped her up and carried her off the field.




We all made up excuses for her - "too much walking around" "too much noise" "too much stimulation" "too many adoring fans". Nope, just stubbornness. The next day Charlie went with her Grandma to a smaller agility event and did the same thing, "No More Weave Poles Grandma!".




Oh well, some days are like that.







I will have more pictures of the dogs to share with you on the next post. We saw lots of great dogs and took a lot of pictures.
Talk to you soon!

Ollie on the Job!

Hi everyone!

Now that Charlie is getting back into agility trials she needs to practice. So one day a week hubby takes Ollie to work instead of Charlie!


Ollie is a good worker, he sits on the dashboard and helps dad keep an eye on traffic. Here he is looking stylish in his plaid jacket, plaid is so "in" this year.





This is the view of Ollie that all the lucky folks on the road get to see. He gets lots of honks and waves.

The dashboard spot is pretty comfy. A nice quilt and a heated tushy make for a pretty sweet ride.

I should have photos from Charlie's agility trial this weekend. She is running with the AKC puppies in Seattle. That is a fun event as there are lots of vendors to visit and a dog show to watch.

Talk to you soon!

From Around the Interwebs!

Hi everyone!

I have not fallen off the face of the earth, just hiding under one of the rocks. :o)

Nothing new or exciting at the Puglette household. We are all just waiting for spring to arrive. While waiting, I have been surfing the internet. Here are some of the recent pug / dog related items that have made me smile.

Meet the Neighbors!

Hi everyone!

We have new neighbors! And guess what??? They have a pug! We had a little pug meet up in our driveway on Sunday. The neighbors are a really nice family with three young boys. Two of the boys were out walking their pug while hubby was out working on his new truck. Please meet Rex the pug! Isn't he a cutie?

Rex seemed to prefer Ollie and was so excited to play with our dogs. As you can see in these photos, lots of sniffing and tail wagging was going on. Rex has more wrinkles on his face than our two do. His face is a really cute brown color. He just turned one so he has plenty of puggy energy.

In other news, Hubby is driving a different truck. This is a bigger, semi sized tow truck. This truck has a sleeper cabin. Hubby will be driving longer distances and may have to spend the night in his truck. We got his bed all set up and will be working on getting some other homey touches set up. Charlie has a new perch in the big truck. Hubby put a blanket up on the dashboard for her. She can sit up there and watch the the scenery fly by. The defroster will keep her little booty warm! She's his real, live bobble head!

Hubby celebrated his birthday last Friday and we had a nice party for him at his mom's house. She made jambalaya and I bought a carrot cake. We had a nice time and a really yummy dinner!

That's all the news on from our house. What about you guys? Anything exciting or new happening in your house? Talk to you all soon!

hugs,

puglette
