We just went to go get some tcby, and I snapped this photo of tricia waiting in the car w/ gadget. Yes, we took the dogs with us to go get frozen yogurt.
I noticed someone posted something in the comments — pugs in costume. Check it out, it’s great.

Here’s a pic i’ve been holding onto for a while, it’s the boys in the bath, and I really like this picture.
Yesterday, I went over to my local dog washing place, which is relatively new, and found out about their setup. Basically, you bring your dogs in, pay them $10 per dog, and they let you wash them. They provide towels, shampoo, and a big tub. It’s a pretty good idea for people who have big dogs or for people who don’t have the space to wash their dogs in their house (like me).
I think i’m going to go over there this weekend and give the guys a bath.
Oh, in other news, check out petapotty. they sell indoor containers for sod, upon which your pets can potty. How funny is that? (im thinking about getting one!)

I’ve just returned from a trip to Oklahoma to visit some of Tricia’s family. Notably, we met Zoe, her grandmother’s pug, and her brother’s beagles — Mattie and Mookie.
Gizmo just tinkled on my sofa. Fortunately, I had it covered and nothing actually got onto the sofa. Still, I yelled at him, and he got kinda mad at me for yelling at him. Eventually, things settled down, and both Gizmo & Gadget are sleeping underneath my desk as I write this.

. They work great!
are great for cleaning up messes, and are reusable.
So on Friday, I had a new sofa delivered, and what do you know, Gizmo knows what to do. The first thing he did as soon as it got here was to hop up onto the back of the sofa, claiming his spot. Since then, he’s found two spots on it that are “his” spots. He’s in total heaven, having the sofa. Honestly, he likes it more than I do.
Unfortunately, Gadget hasn’t figured out that he can jump onto it yet. He did get up there once or twice, but he falls down when jumping up there, so I think he’s given up. I’m not sure if this is a blessing or not, yet.
I got this sofa in particular because a) it’s microfiber, and that makes it more resistant to stains & easier to brush hair off of and b) it’s literally the same color as the dogs. I didnt realize how closely they matched until it arrived. While this isn’t a substitute for removing dog hair from the sofa, it sure does help hide it.
In other news, I got a haircut today, and brought Dawn (who owns Belle) one of my Pug Euro stickers. She loved it, and after my haircut was done, we put it on her car — hopefully, I’ll have a picture of that soon.

Here are pictures of Gadget’s puppies! They’re so full of energy, they’re literally an explosion of cuteness. Click on the link to see more pictures of them.
Also, in other news, Gizmo and Gadget love broccoli. Who would have thought? I’ve been cutting the stems into bite-size pieces, and they’ve been going crazy for them. They like broccoli even more than potato chips, which is amazing. However, I think that they would really like these dog treats I found at Petsmart — Canine Sweets from Claudia’s Canine Cuisine It’s like a box of chocolates for your dog, how cool is that? I would have definitely gotten these for the boys for valentine’s day if I had known about them.

I’ve been getting into a steady routine in the new Apartment. Walks in the morning, walks in the evening. The boys have been getting in the groove of things, getting used to the “pads” in the new pad.
Anyway, the past two nights, Gizmo has really gotten excited for the nighttime walk. After we get back into the building, I take their leashes off, and Gizmo just goes *insane* He gets into his “little bullet” position and flies in circles around the building’s main entryway — he even sounds different, like a little engine.
Anyway, it’s just about the fastest i’ve seen a pug run, and it’s hilarious. Sometimes, I even run around with them, getting them to chase me.

Upon great demand from the people, there is now a Gizmo & Gadget desktop wallpaper. The initial version is in 1024×768 resolution. More will come.
Click on the image to download the full version.
I’ve got more pug wallpapers. If you want to talk about pugs, go to the Urban Pug Forums

I’ve been getting quite a few responses about the blog — it’s great to hear that everyone else appreciates the greatness that is a pug, especially *my* pugs.
Today’s picture is G&G in my kitchen when I lived at the Saulet. This picture was turned into a painting by Maureen Krail, and is hanging in my apartment right now.
I’ve got more *NEW* pictures to post, but I’m getting through the backlog of older great pictures first. — This one is definitely worth a post.

This shot was one of the first really good pictures I took of Gizmo. I’ve got it framed in my apartment, and, if you’ll look closely, it’s the icon you see next to this website when you bookmark it.
It’s been a long day here, i’ve just set up the tivo after having gotten the warranty replacement in the mail, what a hassle that has been — but it’s all good. I ended up getting a newer model. This one has a glowing “Tivo Guy” icon on the front, which is pretty cool. I’m not sure what’s different about this model internally, but it seems to run pretty quickly — well, I’m comparing it to the Series 1 Tivo i’ve been using in the bedroom, so my observation may not be accurate.
Anyway, more pics tomorrow!

Here’s another picture from the same night at the Bridge Lounge (Google Maps Link) — he’s just so happy in this picture. I wish there was some way to easily remove “red eye” for pugs. I guess their retinas are different, reflecting a bluish-white light instead of red — not sure what’s up with that. Anyway, he’s freaking happy and cute here.

I was just browsing the Make Photopool on Flickr after watching episode 10 of Battlestar Galactica (which i got as a bittorrent off of torrentspy.com and i’ve been listening to the podcast from the BSG people, too), and I found this photo — higher resolution of the dog wearing the doggles + the video camera
is that enough buzzwords for you in a post? I’m such a geek. Gizmo & Gadget love me anyway.

I know this isn’t super-recent, but I’m catching up. I took this picture at the Bridge Lounge right before Mardi Gras this year. The Humane Society was having a party\dog ball, and the boys dressed as “Pugs of the Caribbean”
They didn’t win, but I got some nice pictures. This one shows Gizmo looking so pretty. There’s a reason we call him a girl sometimes, he’s just so feminine in his facial features.
Tricia got the outfits at Urban Outfitters, but they’re a little too big — if they wear them for more than 30 minutes or so, they wiggle themselves halfway out of the shirt.

I’m a make subscriber, and I read their blog, so when I came across this, I just had to post it here.
One of the guys at make magazine put a pair of Doggles (dog goggles) on his dog, strapped a video cam to the doggles, then attached a GPS to his dog.
Now, his dog can go around transmitting video & location. Beat that, robots!
Oh, and his dog is really cute too.
Oops — forgot the link to the site: Location based dog video

I can’t get over this picture, it’s just so freaking cute. Also, this is a test post — i’m using flickr to post photos to my blog.

I’ve been playing with cafepress, and I just uploaded a sticker. It’s kinda neat, just like those car stickers you see around.
