Boy it's been awhile...

Hi Everyone, it has been awhile since Mama has posted ANYTHING. Life has been very hectic since January. But we're back and hope to keep this wheel a rollin'.

What have I been doing you ask? Since it was really chilly the past few months, my days were all about watching TV and staying warm.

Staying on the couch...yes I've become a couch potato pug.

I think I've added just a few pounds...

That photo above is my sexy back shot. So Mama says.

I look a little voluptuous if I say so myself.

But the sun has started to shine on my back and now it's time to get back into shape.

WAIT. Why should I have to worry about my normal pug body???

Stop snickering. I can hear ya you know.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

WOW WOW WOW 2010

Mama, Dad and I want to wish you all a Happy New Year!

あけましておめでとうございます！

Did you get a chance to see Santa Claus?

I left him cookies, he ate them and left me lots of presents.

Did you make and eat mochi?

Mama got a bag full of it. I can't eat it as it is too sticky and may cause choking.

Look at the big Kagami Mochi the ladies at church made.

Mama promised to be more consistent in writing. If she starts lagging, I will for sure let her know.

Til then I wish you all good health and happy times in the new year.

Mama's online Etsy find.

She said it's my early Xmas Day present.

The things she finds for me.

Well, at least it keeps me warm. Now I just have to grin and bear the looks I will get from the neighborhood.

2 more days til Xmas. I'm hoping Santa will bring me something a lot less CUTE and more tasty.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Woa It's Been Waaay Too Long!

Mama has been very busy with work, xmas shopping, and life in general.

I promised everyone that I would show you my new outfits from Japan that Uncle Kei & Auntie Michiko sent.

But it has been soooooo cold, all I've been doing is staying wrapped up in Mama's warm blanket....

And taking naps as much as possible...which is not hard to do.

When it's nene time (bed time), and before I get my last yummy treat (dried sweet potato wrapped with chicken jerky), Mama has a routine she does.

Okay folks be prepared. I have warned you.

Baby Seal.

Moose...but since it's Xmas, Reindeer.

And finally, Panda. Kung Fu Panda that is.

Mama starts giggling. I don't know what's so funny, but if it makes Mama happy, it's all good.

3 more days til Christmas. Mama and I will be bringing our extra blankets and towels to the Avenue Pet Hospital.

If you have gently worn coats, shoes & socks, please donate to your local shelter.

Everyone deserves something warm to wear.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Mama was busy today figuring out what I should be for Halloween. Not that I'm going out anywhere, but I do get to greet the few kids that come to our home for their candy fix.

Mama said I can't have any of the candy in the Pumpkin pail.

Back to Mama's dilemma.

First she was a bit more conservative...

Then she decided to bring a little Japanese into my outfit.

This is the outfit my Uncle Kei & Auntie Michiko brought from Japan.

You wear this during festivals. Hapi Coat.

Then she got more adventurous.

She said I'm the perfect "Drag Queen" and that I should be on stage with the beautiful boyz at Tranny Shack.

I must admit I do like to dress up.

I think I should get at least one treat from that dang Pumpki pail after this fashion show I just put on.

Don't you?

Why Oh Why Does Mama Do This To Me??

Someone please tell me why.

Mama said she was bored one day and decided to take these photos of me sleeping.

Somehow to me and Dad they look a bit Playboyish.

What do YOU think?

Please don't call the Pug Police on Mama. She was just bored.

Big Weekend For Sure

This weekend Mama's brother Kei, his wife Michiko & son Ryo came for a visit all the way from Japan. They brought me a present which I will model for you on my next blog. We all had fun Friday night hanging out with the entire Horikiri/Nakahara gang. Do you see me in the background?

Also this weekend Auntie Pat's sister Sandy got married at a basketball players home. Mama said the house was beautiful. OH and Mama got to see Tubby too (Sumiko's new puppy). I could smell Tubby on Mama's clothes. But I'm not jealous. REALLY.

Mama brought me back a treat from Sandy & Chris' wedding.

Is that for me Mama?

Looks so pretty.

Smells so good.

Yum Yum Yum.

Congratulations Sandy & Chris! Delicious cupcakes.
