Scrub a dub pug

Buddha loves running water, and he loves when he knows it's time to take a bath.




"Lemme in!"


"Ok.. this isn't as cool as I thought it would be.."


"Get. Me. Out. Of. Here."

Winter Party

On Sunday, Buddha went to a pug meetup in Freeburg, IL (about 45 min away from where we live). It was freeezing cold outside, but it was lots of fun. There were about 11 pugs there. Everybody dressed in their best holiday attire.


Buddha was so shy the whole time! He hid between mine and Mike's legs and would barely play with the other pugs!


Santa Ollie






Buddha came out of his shell a little and pranced around in the snow.


This is Ray Charles. He is blind and has the most amazing face. He's a very sweet guy.


Trying to keep warm in the garage!


For the party, everybody brought a gift bag and then we exchanged them. Buddha got a bag full of toys and was very happy!

Picture with Santa!

I took Buddha to Petsmart and got his picture taken with Santa Claus! Everybody just loved him.

Buddha's First Christmas

Buddha turns one year old in February. This year will be his first Christmas. He is so excited.


We decided to have a little photo shoot on the red futon.




Unfortunately, he doesn't like the Christmas collar I bought him. There were little bells on each end of the red & green things, but he pulled all but one off.

turkey day

i was so happy.

i hate clothes

R.I.P. Garland

My friend, Garland the Guinea Pig, passed away recently. It is true that I was pretty jealous of him, but I really did love him. Garland was 5+ years old and lived a very nice, pampered life. This is a picture of him and I a couple days before he went up to guinea pig heaven. He was a great guy.

Goodbye, manhood

This past Tuesday, little Buddha got neutered. He spent all day at the vet and I picked him up around 5pm. He was walking funny and looked (and smelled) like he had just been through complete hell. I felt so awful.

When we got home, I kept Buddha as calm as I could. We hung out in the living room and watched movies. He couldn't sit still. He was so ancy. He made two potties in the house, even though he is potty trained (he is even off his puppy pads!). I think he wet in the house because he was so disoriented. The next day there were no accidents. His bathroom behavior went back to normal.

Buddha woke me up a few times during the night. His sleep schedule must have been thrown off due to the anesthetia he received for his surgery.

The day after the surgery, Buddha was back to normal. I gave him a nice bath and I could tell he felt great. I think he forgot all about his scary day of surgery.


One misconception I had about neutering: The dog will stop humping things.

NOT TRUE.

Buddha has been humping his stuffed animals ever since Wednesday (the day after his surgery). He is doing it even more aggressively than he used to. I've been researching why this is. Apparently, it's just a dominance thing. And also, the hormones aren't completely out of his system yet. It usually takes about 6 weeks post-neuter.


Anyhoo, Buddha is doing great. He's the same happy little energetic boy he was before the surgery!

hello all. i am turning into quite a handsome young man. mom and i just moved into a new house with 2 of her friends. i really enjoy peeing on our new shower curtain and mom can't understand why! oh well. i try to be a good boy.
