About lulu

I am Lulu, pug princess. My humans love me and tell me I'm a pretty girl. I love naps, walks, food, running up stairs, food, licking mom's feet + arms, food, licking dad's head (and nibbling on his elbow when he lets me), barking at squirrels and the neighbour's cat, napping in mom's lap, napping in my beds (I have three...I must be a princess!), chewing on the tags of my toys, scratching pillows, big stretches, chomping on elk antlers, and making mom giggle...

happy birthday to me!

happy birthday to me!

I’m a whole year old! Oh boy! Mom had a party for me & everything!

There were people cupcakes and a little star-shaped cake just for me:

They all had little pictures of me on it. Apparently they were made with edible ink printed on rice paper. They were tasty, but it was slightly strange eating little pictures of myself!

Mom made me wear this crazy pink bow:

 

 

I didn’t like it so I went to pout in my crate…hmph! But I do look pretty, huh?!?

All my favorite peeps were at the party, they drank champagne and ate cupcakes, gave me presents and mostly sat around staring at me all afternoon.

Dad took me into the backyard…and when I came back in all my guests had gone:

Where did everyone go??

Oooph…it was a long day…I was all pooped!

Who knew entertaining was such hard work?

Happy Birthday to me…Happy Birthday to me…Happy Birthday dear Lu-luuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

Happy Birthday to me!

I’ve been out of touch lately…I’ve missed you! Mom has been very busy (and she needs to do the typing for me – I haven’t learned to type yet – although I do very much enjoy walking all over the keyboard!). She got an email from Banana Republic with the photo:

cutie under the mistletoe

isn’t he handsome? i think he’s very cute! a perfect way to wish you all a very merry christmas and all good things (lots of liver treats, elk antlers, carrots, cucumbers and faux bacon) for 2012! xoxox

these boots were NOT made for walking!

mom & dad put these ridiculous boots on me yesterday and i waddled around the house a bit while they laughed uproariously at me…hmph!….

I’m a Clever Canine!

I’m a Clever Canine!

It was a big week last week…it was my final class and then on the weekend were the Olympics with all the dogs from all the classes (40+ dogs in a large chilly room). We were divided into 4 teams…sadly there were only 2 other dogs from my “pack” on our team.

There were a bunch of different relays…and then the humans did a dog knowledge/trivia test…and then the individual events (sit stays & down stays).

we're #1! we're #1!

We came in FIRST PLACE!! Yay!! This is my snazzy purple ribbon…I was a proud (and clever) puppy!

the world is my snowcone

the world is my snowcone

There was a little frost on the ground the other morning at the beginning of class…but today was my first REAL snow! It’s kind of crunchy, and definitely cold, but it’s so much fun to lick…

mmmph...what?

 

it's everywhere...fun!

 

yummy

 
Then a bit later, after I’d had my fill of frolicking in the backyard Mom made me get into my winter coat (gah!!) and we went for a walk. It was pretty cold our there, and Mom wasn’t walking as fast as she normally does, then she put me in a sit…”Say Cheese” (what’s cheese??)
 
 
I like this snow stuff (although Mom & Dad don’t seem very fond of it)…THE WORLD IS MY SNOWCONE!!
Lick!

I’ve lost my pack!!

I’ve lost my pack!!

Woof! It was my last class today…I’m kinda sad…I’ve spent every Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning with these guys for 10 weeks…walking, jumping(ish) over picnic tables, doing sits on the large concrete balls on 8th avenue, riding the C-train, riding escalators, walking (or being dragged) over those stupid grates in the sidewalk, learning recall commands (“Cupcake” is what makes me come running to mom), dragging my leash on walks (I like that part!), learning to greet other dogs (some of those dogs in the off leash parks were SO badly behaved…no manners…sheesh), and a bunch of other stuff which mom keeps telling me I’ve forgotten.
I’ll miss you guys! xo

Say bacon….

Say bacon….

Whew…it was kind of chilly for class today. Mom insisted on putting this stupid pink coat on me before we left the house. I hate it! I kept trying to shake it off but it just wouldn’t budge! Argh…
Near the end of class we actually went inside, but then we all had to sit for our class photo. A couple of my classmates just wouldn’t sit still…Mom tells me I’m not very good at the sit stays…but boy was she proud…even through all the barking & mayhem I held my sit…I sure wasn’t enjoying myself but I held it.
When I finally got to go back to mom she whispered “good girl” at me…but then she put that stupid pink thing back on me! I DO NOT LIKE IT…but I guess I don’t like the cold either. Hmph!
Time for a wee nap in Mom’s lap…snrrrrrr…
