Grass...no, not that kind...

Frank was rather delighted several days ago when it was announced that I had the morning off! We quickly packed it up and headed out for a full fledged romp in the grassy (though technically not "off-leash") area of the dog park....

Oh Frank! What a delightful field in which to roam!
Unfortunately, after this picturesque grass romp, Frank found a bit of something nasty in which to roll, the result being, of course, an impending bath upon arrival home.

Frank was not delighted by this development.

Here we see him flipping out at the notion of getting in the bath bin...

...and choking, rather alarmingly I must say, on the grass.
Oh, my.

Apparently, when Frank gets a wee bit over stimulated and engages in the pug scoot, it is not the best time simultaneously enjoy a delicious taste of lawn...

Eventually, Frank overcame the perils of his turfy snack and settled into what appeared to be a rather enjoyable soak,


followed by a delightful drying session in the sun with a bone.

Oh Frank, if only we could all be pugs.

Special Delivery

As followers may have noticed, blog posts have been few and far between. I am sad to say that trips to the grocery store have been almost as infrequent, much to the dismay of Frank who delights in the ritual of poking his head into each and every grocery bag in order to investigate the possibility of delicious contents.

Enter Amazon Fresh. We love Amazon Fresh. For a cost that is quite comparable to a regular grocery story one can go on line, click a few buttons, and the next morning wake up to a delightful delivery on the front porch (unless there is beer involved, then one actually has to answer the door and present their ID.) While Frank does miss the multi bag investigation, he has found his own way of exploring the Amazon Fresh bin.


Oh Frank. I do not think the folks at Amazon Fresh would approve at all.

At this particular moment he was quite heartbroken to have discovered that the bins were empty. He will not be nearly so sad in a few hours when he discovers that the ingredients for warm ginger snaps and whipped cream were tucked inside...

MIA

Oh dear. Well, Frank has indeed been missing in action these last few weeks as work has been a bit overwhelming, and rather than spending any of my free time on the computer I have been trying to plug in some quality time with a very handsome one eyed pug. Fear NOT however, Frank has not spent any of this time overly neglected! Just today, in fact, we discovered his new favorite treat, one that I highly recommend for pugs and people alike - Red Mango.

Oh Frank. Delicious. Red Mango is a delightful frozen yogurt shop that actually serves frozen yogurt, and they offer a wide array of fresh, not thawed, fruity toppings as well. Frank enjoys the fresh blueberry topping, but it is important to squelch it before giving to him, otherwise he is likely to swallow it whole which leads to an alarming bit of gagging. Also delightful is that it seems the regular sized cup was designed especially for the purpose of a small pug head fitting in perfectly for a perfectly delicious lick or two.

What a thoughtful company indeed to have designed something so delicious AND pug friendly!

Where's Frank?

Remember Where's Waldo?, an excellent children's book from the 80's? Well, perhaps it is time for a new book: Where's Frank?

Oh Frank. You are SO very sneaky!
Here is seen waiting very patiently while I purchase a delightful cup of coffee from one of our favorite local coffee shops. I am sad to say that a coffee foray is about our only exciting adventure these days due to his mom's rather frantic work schedule....

Never the less, stay tuned for some up to date installments of Things That a Small One Eyed Pug Can Hold with His Tail.

Nap Time

Oh my.
I fear that this photo might be a wee bit inappropriate. However, I fear that I could not find rich enough words to describe Frank's Sunday nap:

Please see the March 5th post for a delightful clue taste of the accompanying sound effects:

March 5th

Yes Frank, you life is very hard indeed.

A Rare Sighting!

Oh my! Is that a rare one eyed pygmy cow that I see???


One eyed pug owners take note: This is the way to get your pug invited to a hoedown.

And Frank was quite pleased to keep the floor clean of popcorn and cornbread. What a handy one eyed pygmy cow indeed!

#2 : a Caffe Ladro gift card

Coffee anyone?
And doesn't Frank look pleased?

Who says that pugs are low on the natural selection totem pole - I'd like to see a Portuguese water dog do that!


(For those of you not in the Pacific Northwest, Caffe Ladro is our favorite coffee, though it is not our favorite coffee shop; that honor is reserved for Cafe Vita, which not only allows small one eyed pugs inside, but also gives them delicous treats from behind the counter!)
