We slept for 8 hours til momma woke us up wif da flash when she took dis:

She said she didn't know who wuz snoring louder, me or daddy. It wuz daddy of course.

Der was cows across da streets and stuffs. Den one day my mommy and daddy and grandma came to sees me cuz I wuz da only boy puggy left out of my family. All my sisturz went buhbyes. As soon as mommy picked me up she said she knews I was gonna be her baby. Her shouldur was quite comfies and I likes how her hair is crunchies. Den the breeder suprized eberyone by letting me's go home with mommy and daddy that day!! It wuz a long ride in the *vrooooooom* truck but me slepts the whoooole ways. Den dey carries me up 3 flights of stairs (whews) and put me down on some squishy stuff called "karpet." I wikes dat. Den my mommy and grandpawents left to go shoppins for me while daddy and my unkle kevin had to babysits me. When mommy come bak she had LOTS of goodies for ME! Toys and more toys and a bed and foods and everyting a pug like me needs to be happies. I eben got a baby playpens to sleep in!!! Here iz a pikture of mees on my first days home:

I wuz a bit of a skrawny ting at only 1.6lbs. But my doktor said I wuz gonna be a small boy.

Da foods wuz very good. Mmm.. make me happies and sleepies at da same time!

I even had a new friend waitin on me!! Ain't he handsomes?

And ifs you looks behind mes here u can see how mees had lots of toys:

Anywhos, I am the king of dis apartment. I get pampered all day and get fed and even watch a little tv when I get the notion!

My next advenshur takes me to da great big OUTSIDES!! It iz frigid and der is lots of new tings. If I can finds a pikture of my first walk I post it for u laters. Here is some of the new tings I find outside:

A bush. It's prikly and doesn't smell too much.

And here is da leaf!! I WIKES dis. It is crunchy and takes like sumfins and mommy tries to take it from me so I's not let her. Heehee...

I sleep most of da day and take lots of naps but I LUV ridin in da car and goin to mcdonalds drive up and goin to see my grandmas. I also luvs eatin yogies (momma says it's "yogurt") and carrots and gween beans. Well I iz gettin awfuls tired. Need to go take a nap!! I be bak later dudes.
