Pugs for dinner!

Daisy just loves to lick plates or anything food has touched really. She was avidly licking this pan for quite some time. She even has her front paws IN the pan, got to get every last molecule of food!

Daisy talking to her daddy

She seems confused as to where his voice is coming from.

Miss me?

I asked my mom if Daisy missed me while I was gone and she sent me this photo of her sleeping on my pillow. Aww!

Little sleepy puggy

I have been in DC the past few days and it is amazing how much I miss my little dog! I can't wait to see her!

Daisy & Rocky

Daisy just loves playing with her friend Rocky. True they look like an odd pair, but they have so much fun together. Even when Rocky is taking it easy, leaving Daisy alone, Daisy can't resist starting some fun!

My how she's grown

John has photos of Daisy from all stages of puppyhood as his screensaveer. Some of them I haven't looked at in quite some time. It is amazing how much she's grown!

Daisy & Anna

Daisy just couldn't get enough of Anna, my future mother in law. They just met for the first time this weekend, and it was love at first sight!

Trifecta of Daisy sleeping

Here are some more sleeping pictures of Daisy, courtesy of my brother.

Some dogs will sleep anywhere

This doesn't look comfortable to me, but I guess we kept her up past her bed time!

Daisy and Rocky, Twins?

Daisy loves her friend Rocky so much, she wants to be just like her! I swear, I didn't "pose" her at all.

Crazy little pug

Daisy doesn't typically like to sleep on her back, but I guess she must have gotten comfortable!

Snoring pug

My brother shot this video of Daisy snoring away the other day, she is loud!

Daisy and Rocky

Daisy and Rocky love to play together, despite the huge size difference. Rocky does not however like to share anything with Daisy. Not her toys, not her bones, and not her bed. Daisy is always quick to seize any opportunity to share. She jumped on Rocky's bed with her when she was distracted by a bone.

Doggie Ice Cream

Over the weekend I took Daisy to the Scraps Dog Bakery in Truckee where we happened upon Ice Cream for dogs, of course we had to try it. Here she is enjoying some "Snicker Poodle" Ice Cream, I think she likes it!

Her favorite place

As per usual Daisy was hanging out in the diswasher, making sure all the dishes have been properly "rinsed". Though I think this time she was enjoying how cool it was in there.

Cooling vest

Daisy's cooling vest finally came, and of course now it is nice and cool out! At least now we have them ready for when it gets hot out again. One of my friends said she looks like a firefighter in this getup!

Almost cuddling

Micah is no longer a willing playmate for Daisy since she now outweighs him and her enthusiasm for wrestling with him has not dwindled. She charges at him and knocks him down, he is not a fan. He has taken to hissing all the time, even if she is nowhere near him, just for good measure. He usually doesn't tolerate her anywhere near him, so this is about as close as they get to cuddling these days.

So fierce!

Pillow pug

Sometimes you just need a whole pile of pillows to get comfortable!

Yucky bone

I recently got Daisy this Braided beef bone from Trader Joe's and she LOVES it. The problem is when she chews it she doesn't really seem to bite anything off, so it just gets these long stringy gummy ends on it. It is really gross and she always wants to come sit on someones lap when she chews it. Trust me, you don't want that thing touching you!

Daisy the Baker

My mom was making cookies this morning and Daisy did her best to help by "cleaning up" any flour that was spilled. What a good helper!

My Hero

I was fretting on google talk to my good friend Tiff about the heat today and how I was worried about Daisy. Normally she is home with my parents and they look after her, but today is the hottest day we have had to date and she is at home alone. Tiffany immediately offered to go check in on her since her office is a few minutes away from my house. My hero, seriously. I would just be sitting here worrying about her the rest of the day. Thank goodness for good friends! Tiff put on her cool Pugahontas poncho to help keep her cool the rest of the afternoon.

We don't have AC since there are not many hot hot days in the bay area, luckily when I make the move to DC the townhouse is air conditioned so I will not have to worry about little Daisy overheating. In the meantime I ordered her a cooling bed, and a cooling jacket. Let's hope these keep her cool otherwise it is off to doggie daycare on the hot days.

Daisy is a Graduate

Of obedience school that is. Last night was the final class for the beginning Canine education class at Petco and Daisy passed with flying colors. Well, okay she isn't that great at heel just yet but she is improving.

The dogs had to line up and do a sit, stay until told to come, this is something Daisy has gotten quite good at. She is quite enthusiastic when you say "Daisy come!"


They also had to do a down, stay. Daisy has mastered roll over, so when I tell her "down", she always starts to do roll over too, until I tell her no.



Daisy doesn't look like she believes she actually earned this!



We did it!


The proud graduates.
