The 12th day of November. A day of great sadness, a day of great happiness. One defined life, both changed life. One would not have happened without the other....

November 12th, 2000...13 years ago, my wonderful mom passed away. I still miss her like mad and wish she was here like crazy. Many days I still can't believe she is gone...and has been gone a very long time now. November 12th, 2002....11 years ago, a little Pug was born....a little Pug to be named Chloe. I still doubt that if my mom had not died, I would not have pressed so hard to get a Pug? I would not have been so lonely and wanted something so bad? But she did pass and I did get that first little Pug, so November 12th....our happy/sad day!

Miss you mom....Happy 11th Birthday Miss Chloe!

where's Zoey?

Day Eight - 30 days of Zoey....and the cone

Zoey got her report back and her growth was def Mast Cell.  It came in as a low grade 2 with clean margins, same as 2 1/2 years ago when she had 2 tumors removed.   Sadly we also discovered that the little monster has been too active and her stitches came out!  The choices were for her to go under again and get re-stitched or to let it heal open.  The recovery time is longer for the second option, but no going under, so we picked that way.  Her daddy had trimmed her cone down a little too far too, so the vet insisted on a new cone, which he trimmed "as far as it should be".  She is now on prevention antibiotics and we have to apply ointment twice a day AND try to keep her quiet.  No easy task for a spitfire like her!

If you haven't been reading along, Zoey is in a contest and needs everyone's votes!  The contest ends on Sunday, November 13th at 11:59 p.m. and you can vote once every 24 hours!  Voting is simple, just click on the link and "like" the page, then you can vote!!!!  Zoey sends kisses to all that help her make the top five! xoxoxo

Day Five - 30 days of Zoey....and the cone

We interupt this blog for special wishes for Tweedles

Please join us in sending, prayers, juju, good vibes or whatever else you can muster up for our pal Tweedles - she has been very sick and had emergency surgery today.  She is the most poetic Pug on the internet.  Visit her blog and give her mamas good wishes and a cyber hug and if you have some spare green backs you can see the link to donate to her vet bills.

We love you Tweedles!

Day two - 30 days of Zoey... and the cone

November - Day One - 30 days of Zoey...and the cone

Those that have been blogging for awhile know that November always brings 30 days if some type of themed posts.  In the past I have done 30 days of coffee cups, 30 days of my dogs closet and various other themes.  Last year I simply did 40 days of thanks.  For fun AND because I have an accessible theme, I will be going 30 days of Zoey!

Day one is the peanut at the vet last week before the bad news.

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween to all our friends! 

Stay safe and dry!

PS - We would like to report that Zoey is home from her surgery and doing well.  We will find out the results and grading of the tumor in 7 days.  Paws crossed until then!

Surgery day

On our way to the vet - we feel the love xoxo punchy & zoey

What's Monday.

Stewie would rather mama stayed home today.....

The new ride

We almost forgot to share our big silent auction win at GMPR Social!

It actually hold all six of the group, but we've been walking 3 at a time. Pretty sure people driving by think I'm nuts!

Mast Cell

Ugly words for all of us Puglovers to hear.  We heard those words in 2007 for Marty and again in 2011 for Zoey.  Sadly yesterday afternoon we heard the words again for Zoey.  What started out as "oh, it's just an abrasion/bite/irritation, let's shave the area and give you some antibiotic ointment" turned into "it's more than we thought, needle aspiration, sorry, surgery.  Ugh.

So please keep my little spitfire Zoey in your prayers.  Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.  Keep her safe, clean margins.  Please.

Waiting at the vet before the news

Leaky eyes....

Sadness abounds today as sweet Benny slipped over that rainbow bridge.  He sure gave that Cancer a big Frenchie Fight.

God speed little man.

A quick visit

On our way home from GMPR social we took a little detour to visit our friends Wilma, Brigitte and Sluggo and their paw-rents! They made us an awesome brunch!

GMPR Social

Catching up with life posts - revisiting our trip to Vermont for GMPR Social. P and I actually traveled Pugless! Since we had houseguests it worked out. It was strange being without them, but there were plenty of Pugs to love on!

P made Phil & Judy this sign for their house!

Blogging

We have been blogging for a long time now and this is the longest we have EVER neglected our blog! A month!!!! How can that be? Life has sure gotten the better of us. We will make no excuses for this horrible time loss, but will move on and get our act together!

Off we go....

This is what the back seat of our truck usually looks like on the weekends; however, this weekend P and I are headed without Pugs to the Green Mountain Pug Social in Vermont! Since our daughter and SIL are with us, they offered to Pug sit so we could get away and have less worry and work! I am having a booth again this year and it is stressful with the whole group, so this makes things SO much easier! Plus, we are making a special stop on the way home to bloggy friend!

Lazy afternoon

After our boat ride at camp on Sunday I headed into bed to get warm, crochet and watch a movie. The furry ones joined in, although they didn't do much crocheting!

Fawn Pug pile

Marty prefers to cozy up solo

Farewell to Summer

It was sadly time for the boat to come out of the water. That let's us know that Summer is indeed behind us! For our farewell voyage this year we took Kiki and Stewie. Stewie LOVES the boat and has no fear at all. Kiki on the other hand was unglued. She hated walking down the dock and wasn't all that sure about the boat ride either. It was a bit chilly, so I wrapped the two of them up and around the bay we went.

Toy Tug

Some of you may know our grand dog is staying with us for awhile with his mom and dad while they wait to move into their new house. He came with a BIG basket of toys. It's doubtful that basket will be full when he leaves.

Chloe goes fishing....

Seems a couple of posts I did recently from my phone didn't post last week! Last Sunday the weather was a bit gloomy, but the bay at camp was calm, so P took Chloe out fishing with him.

there they go down to the boat.....

Best seat in the house

I'm fine mom...don't worry

Off they go

No fish were caught and they returned safely a couple of hours later.

Time flies..............

34 years...wow

Benny's Hugs and Kisses

Join our friend Benny for his hugs and kisses fun!

What? This isn't a bed?

Seems like yesterday.....

Happy Gotchaversary to our baby boy Stewie!  Can't believe 2 years ago today we traveled many, many miles to adopt this wonderful little guy!  We have NEVER regretted this decision to add him to our family.  Thank you SEPRA for bringing him to us!
