I currently have a pudgy little ball of cuteness asleep in my lap…she is SO NOISY when she’s sleeping and it is so cute. Her front paws are wrapped around my left arm and her head is in the crook of my elbow. Could she be any cuter? or louder? How do I love my puppy…let me count the ways… xo
I’m really nervous about the weather. I had to take her out three times to get her to pee in the rain…not that I blame her, mind you, but I can just imagine the drama once the snow sets in.
We took her for a walk in the rain last night…it was the first outing in her rain coat.

Unfortunately it’s too big (I’ll have to make some alterations)…and at least for now she kind of hates it. Hopefully she’ll get used to it…beats being soaked through. The hood also doesn’t stay over her head when I do a correction on the leash, perhaps there needs to be a hole at the base of the hood for the leash?
It was so cute…the sproing in her curly tail managed to fold up the back of her jacket…you can’t keep a curly pug tail down!
OK – after training class this morning I went to buy Lulu a new martingale because she’s grown out of the old one – and the store had the CUTEST sock monkey dog sweaters. Now I’ve been very adamant about not dressing her up in “outfits” – but of course in this crazy climate she’ll need a coat (which I already have) – but it is autumn…a sweater would be good, wouldn’t it? And if she’s going to be wearing a sweater anyway…couldn’t it have sock monkey ears??

We had a dinner party last night for my parent’s 46th wedding anniversary – it also coincided with my Dad’s retirement – so there was much to celebrate. I swear my Dad’s kind of like the Lulu-whisperer – she will sit in his lap calmly for hours – it’s quite amazing.
Even though all the attention (or most anyway) should’ve been elsewhere, I’ve come to realize that no matter what I cook or who I invite, the pug princess is going to take center stage at all of our gatherings. This was her third or fourth dinner party, but her first indoors…Lulu really makes me wish we lived in a milder climate…I’m a little nervous about the imminent months of snow….unless she likes the snow?!? Here’s hoping…

teeny lulu puppy taking her first tentative steps into her new home…
Miss Lulu was not a fan of our slippery hardwood stairs for QUITE some time. She mastered going up for a few weeks before she could go down again. In her efforts to want to follow us everywhere, if we went downstairs into the basement, she’d run up the stairs and then be confused why we weren’t there. Apparently the stairs had some interesting Escher-like connectivity in her head…
