Daisy loves Christmas!

Daisy, the fashion plate

When we were honeymooning, my mom made Daisy a few outfits to wear, cute huh?!

Now we know how Daisy's tail stays curly

Daisy "kills" her bed

Daisy's new booties

Yesterday I picked up a pair of booties for Daisy, I thought she might need them when the weather gets cold in DC. It was no surprise she didn't care for the booties in the least, but her reaction was so funny!

Cute clothes

Old Navy has TONS of clothing and various accessories for dogs lately. The other day they had a few things that were on sale so I got Daisy 2 coats for the east coast. Aren't they cute!

Pouty face!

Every once in awhile Daisy sticks out her bottom lip and looks so pouty! Look at that face!

Pretty party pug

We hadn't originally planned on bringing Daisy to the wedding, but she hasn't had the kennel cough vaccination so I couldn't leave her at the pet hotel for the weekend after all. I was a little relieved about that actually, since I didn't think she'd enjoy her time at the pet hotel. She had a great time at the wedding, after all she is a party pug!

Gremlin!

Peek-a-boo!

When I came home from work the other day little miss Daisy was peeking under the fence at me! It was so darn cute. I was worried at first she could squirm under the gate and escape from the yard, but luckily she didn't even attempt it.

Lap dog

Lately Daisy has become quite the lap dog, even when doesn't seem like it'd be that comfortable.

All ready for halloween

Daisy's Halloween costume came in the mail this weekend. Isn't it funny! Aloha!

Fig pig!

We've netted our fig tree to try and save some of the fruit from the squirrels, and Daisy has learned that sometimes the tasty figs fall into the net. She will spend a great deal of time working on getting the figs out of the net so she can enjoy them. She just can't get enough of them!

Daisy's friend Chico

On Sunday we took Daisy to the dog park and she made a new little friend. Chico, the tiny pug puppy! She had a great time tearing around with him. I think he wore her out a little!

Rocky, get out of the water!

Daisy seems to take issue with Rocky swimming around in that COLD lake water!

Who is a cold wet dog!?

I tried to get Daisy swimming in the Lake again this past weekend. All she did was swim for shore. Perhaps the water is a bit too cold for her. I don't blame her, it was about 68 degrees!

Pugs in costume

My brother sent me this link with pugs dressed up as famous people. How funny!

Daisy, about to attack

Watch out Rocky! That pug is going to get you!

Alert- product toxic to pets

Someone just emailed this to me, beware!

Cocoa Mulch lethal to dogs?

Verified by Snopes

VERIFIED ALSO BY GOOGLE

Yesterday one of our dog agility friends
experienced a tragedy and wanted me to pass a
special message along to all of my dog-loving
friends and family. Please tell every dog owner you
know.

Over the weekend the doting owner of two young
lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target(can be found at home
depot) to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and
it was advertised to keep cats away from their
garden. Their dog Calypso, decided that the mulch
smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large
helping. She vomited a few times which was typical
when she eats something new but wasn't acting
lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and
took Calypso out for her morning walk. Halfway
through the walk, she had a seizure and died
instantly.

Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on
the label, upon further investigation on the
company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to
dogs.

Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and
they claim that "It is true that studies have shown
that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer
physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on
each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't
eat it."

True information about the mulch! can be found
here -

This site gives the following information:

Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot,
Foreman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply
stores, contains a lethal ingredient called
"Theobromine".

It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like
chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will
ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already
occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of
caution, check what you are using in your gardens
and be aware of what your gardeners are using in
your gardens.

Theobromine is the ingredient that is used to
make all chocolate ? especially dark or baker's
chocolate ? which is toxic to dogs.

Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic
quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound
similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A
dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch
made from cacao bean shells developed severe
convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the
stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells
revealed the presence of lethal amounts of
theobromine.

Please email the manufacturer at
michellemessick@hersheys.comand request that
accurate information about this product be posted on
the packaging to avoid further tragedy.

PLEASE GIVE THIS WIDEST DISTRIBUTION !!!
