Daisy says Happy Holidays!

Daisy is ready for next halloween

The costume needed some alterations, but thanks to my mom Daisy is ready for next Halloween.

This past Halloween Daisy was a pig!

Happy Birthday Daisy!

Today Daisy turns 2 year old! I can't believe how fast time flies! Happy Birthday Daisy Dog!

Daisy swims (very unwillingly)

I kept hoping that Daisy would eventually like to swim. It'd help her keep cool in the hot summer months. I was thinking maybe she just didn't like cold water, since her previous swimming experiences had been in Donner lake which is about 68 degrees most of the time. A couple weeks ago Cate brought her into her swimming pool, which was quite comfortable (don't be fooled by the fact that Cate is wearing a jacket). As you can see by Daisy's expression, swimming does not appeal to her.

This is how Daisy travels on the plane. This is from our recent trip to CA.

Daisy's new outfit

My sister recently started working at Banfield which you may know is the veterinary office connected to Petsmart. Since they are in fact connected to Petsmart, she is able to get a discount at petsmart and brought Daisy this little outfit on her last visit. I don't think Daisy cared for it much, she ran and hid when my sister put it on her. I peronally love the hat.

Daisy loves her car seat

She even sleeps in it when it is the house!

Daisy barks at JFK

What are you doing in my seat?

That is what Daisy is wondering.

Crouching tiger hidden pug

Daisy looks so tiny in this picture (at least to me) maybe it is just a sign it is time to cut the lawn!

Caricature of Daisy

Over the weekend we took Daisy to the pet fiesta, which is basically like a street festival for pets. They had someone doing caricatures of the pets, so of course we had to get one of Daisy!

Daisy's new tee

My neighbor has 2 pugs, both are slightly larger than Daisy and therefor Daisy gets some of their outgrown duds. Here is one she just got, isn't it cute?!

Daisy's new bed

Yesterday I took Daisy to the Super pet Expo at the Dulles expo center. It wasn't as big or exciting as I hoped, but I did find Daisy this new plus bed. She loves it!

Love the head tilt

I don't know why, but the head tilt is just about the cutest thing ever!

Sun bathing

She misses California's nice weather.

Someone LOVES this blanket

I thought I was getting this blanket for me, but it turns out Daisy just can't get enough of it!

Put the camera down and no one gets hurt

My hubby thinks she looks like Homer Simpson in this pic. I think she looks angry! Probably had enough of the photos.

How can this be comfortable?!?

What are you DOOOOING?

Think she could get any closer to the lens?

An unusual pair

The cat and dog have been getting along so well lately. I think since the move, the cat has more personal space, he has lots of places to hide from the dog and can choose to play with her when he likes, which he does, often. He doesn't even care that she jumped up on this chair to sit with him!

New seat!

My neighbor who has 2 pugs has one of these for her dogs and they just love it! Now Daisy is not only comfy, she is safely strapped in!

Let's go to the dog park!

I took Daisy to the local pug meetup on Saturday, she had a blast running around with the other pugs. It was a bit cold out for me though!

Angry face!

Doesn't she look angry in this photo?

Snow is delicious

Of course the first thing Daisy does in the snow...checks to see if it is tasty!

Tasty!

Daisy has had this bone for probably about 6 months and paid it no notice, suddenly yesterday she couldn't get enough of it. She gnawed on it all day long, until it was completely gone!

Grapes are bad...m'kay?

It seems like this is a little known fact, but grapes can be very bad for dogs. I only know because I look stuff up all the time to make sure I am not giving Daisy anything that is bad for her, she is the first dog I have owned, so I am not in the know. I had read it a few months back but looked it up again the other day just to be sure, since Daisy had just gulped down a few grapes that had fallen out of the fridge. We called the 24 hour vet and they suggested inducing vomiting, since the grapes can cause kidney failure. We took her in and she vomited up the grapes she ate. She went in today for some blood work to make sure her kidney function is okay. Luckily it looks like she is going to be fine. Keep the grapes and raisins away from your dogs!

Did someone say...food??

Screaming pug

The day before we left on the honeymoon we had to take Daisy to the vet because she was drooling excessively and we were worried she had eaten poison or perhaps been stung by a bee. When we arrived at the vet, they took her into the back room. We were in the waiting room and all we could hear were Daisy's horrible screams. Turns out all they were doing was trying to look in her mouth, but she sounded something like this "excited pug". I never knew pugs screamed like that!

Do these glasses make me look smarter?

Dinner Time!

Daisy says, "time to feed me!"
