Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with the ones they love.

Merry Christmas!

Traveling is exhausting

Next stop, Payton's!

Going, going, almost gone

Well, we are almost ready to go. 

Mom rented us a sweet little car, a Focus! It's like driving an iPad! We want one of these to keep.

Anyway, it's packed to the gills with presents and clothes and food and stuff.

Here's a little of what we have crammed in the car.

Yeah, there's more. And, yes, those are all for us. Mom's stuff if in the back. 

Kitties not included. They are staying home with a kitty sitter.

So early in the morning, we will be off. 

First stop, Lexington, Kentucky. 

Our hotel is close to a dog park, sweet! Hopefully, the weather will be good and we can run around before another day of driving. 

Next stop, Payton's place! She's graciously invited all of us to her house for a yummy dinner. Maybe we'll get a tour of her indoor on-purpose potty! 

We hope to be updating often!

Wish us safe travels, good weather and good moods.

We are back!

Holy cow! This semester has really kicked mom's butt. She's slacked off on laundry and dishes and everything. But it paid off  because she got an A-! Believe us, in a doctoral program, that's a big deal.
So YAY for mom!

Now, it's time to clean up and start packing. We leave on our tour in 6 days. SIX DAYS! There's so much to pack and clean and pack some more. We need our own suitcases for all the cold weather clothes we have to take with us. Not to mention the loads of bully sticks and chews and bones and toys and blankets.

Naturally, we have been angels since we know that Santa is watching. See how good we are being? Isabelle wasn't interested in listening to Santa read since she can't hear and all, but we promised to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas.

We look forward to meeting some of you in person soon!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We want to wish all our friends and family a happy Thanksgiving.

We are thankful for so many things-amazing family, awesome friends, a warm house, plenty of food. We know there are many pugs and people who don't have what we have. 

Our wish for this holiday season is that every pug has a full belly and a warm lap. That every human has someone to love and somewhere to live. That peace on earth prevails against all the hate and craziness.

We are taking a little hiatus from blogging and commenting for a bit. Mom has two papers due in December and she's really behind. So we are spending our time on the couch, fighting for lap space with the laptop and books. We'll be back soon.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Parade time!

We marched in the Grand Illumination Parade again this year in Norfolk. And again, this year, we made the TV broadcast! The theme this year was It's a Sweet Life. We were Pug Savers.

Barney and Buddy strolling in style!

All of us ready for the parade. No one but mom looks at the camera. Cause we're naughty like that.

We are at 12:11.

Blogger/Twitter Midwest Holiday Tour!

We are spending Christmas in Nebraska. Yup, brrrrrr. But that's where family is, so that's where we will go.

But we hope to meet up with some of you along the way!

Here's a rough itinerary.

Leave Norfolk on Dec 21, arrive Lexington, KY. 

Leave KY on Dec 22, arrive Mascoutah, IL. Hello Payton!

Leave Mascoutah on Dec 23, arrive Nebraska.

On the way back, we'll leave Nebraska and head for Indy! We'll arrive in the evening of the 29th. Probably too late to meet up. But how about in the morning of Dec 30? 

Leave Indy, Dec 30, arrive Beckley, WV.

From Beckley it's home to Norfolk on Dec 31. Home in time to ring in the New Year in our own beds. 

So if you are along the way, want to meet up? We tend to stop quite a bit on our trips (tiny pug bladders-Isabelle) so we can make arrangements along the route, too.
