Halloween

It's that time of year!!  You all know how much I love to crunch through leaves and how the weather is perfect for a Tato like me this time of year.  The leaves distract me so much that momuh and daduh have to drag me away sometimes.  Just goes to show you that your kids may be playing with more than just leaves if I was around the pile that they were playing with!!

Trick or treat was tonight around here (yes I know, weird isn't it?).  I didn't get to see too much of it though.  Too many other doggies were out and about and they were howling and barking.  Being a good protective doggin, I started to boof and bark too.  Daduh had to take me in the house and give me dinner to keep me from going on doggy overload.

Stupid rain

I don't have anymore excuses for not talking enough everyone.  What can I say?  I'm a pug through and through, and that makes me lazy.  Anyway, all this rain has me thinking.  I'm pretty darn cute no matter what, right?  Well I'm not so adorable when I'm all wet with rain.  I don't like it at all.  Whenever I go for a walk and there are puddles, I make sure that I walk around them.  I don't like my little toes getting wet if I can help it.

I'd much rather be inside the house and laying on my side, passed out.  I love it when someone snuggles me after this happens.  Being so darn cute, it usually happens.  Life is good as a pug, just not so good when it rains out!

Appreciation

I met some people that I've been told would really like to meet me this past weekend.  They've loved pugs for a long time and thought that I'm cute.  My job was to prove them right.  I mean, seriously, how could I not come off as adorable to a pug lover or three?  Well, as fate would have it, they loved me!!  Was there any doubt?  I may have even rekindled the pug spirit in one of them!  I love visitors.  They fuss over me.

New Accesseories

So I'm gonna need these for something soon. They're called Doggles and they'll protect my precious little eyebies from things.

Big Day

Today I was allowed to be a big boy pup!!  Momuh and Daduh trusted me to be out on my own throughout the house and not gated into the kitchen.  It means a lot to me that they trust me enough to let this happen.  I really do my best to make sure they know that I am being a good boy.  After all, how could you not trust this face?

Outer Banks

These are a few pics of me on vacation with momuh and daduh in the Outer Banks.  The first one is out on our back deck, just chilling out on a chair.  The other one is me being a brave little guy and getting my feet wet in the incoming tides.  I loved it!!  Kinda surprised momuh and daduh cuz when momuh tried to teach me to swim in the pool, I wasn't liking it at all...

I'm tough!

Even though I'm only a foot tall, I still feel like I can take care of momuh and daduh.  Anytime I see anything out the back door or through the front window, I need to boof.  The doggies or people outside don't know I'm just a little pug.  All these wrinkles help me store up more boofs to scare the people and dogs away from my home.  After all, the worst thing that could happen to me is for something to happen to momuh or daduh.

Whoa

It's been some time since I last updated for you guys.  There is no excuse for my lack of communication.  I'm not doing the best job as an entertainment source for you guys.  Please know that this picture sums up how I feel about my lack of posts.

I need to get better about things.  I must say, I did love being down in the Outer Banks with Momuh and Daduh.  I finally got to go on vacation with them!!  I went down on the beach and even got my little paws and belly wet with the incoming tidewater!!  It's fun being with my Momuh and Daduh like that.  I'll even forgive them for renting a beach house that has wood floors.  I looked like Barney Rubble trying to get traction on those floors!

My Bday!

I've been trying to add a video but I'm having technical difficulties.  For now, go to my Russell's Nook Facebook fan page and you can see it there.  If I can get it to work on here, it'll be posted.  Either way, today is my birfusday!!  I'm 3 today and I don't look a day over 2!  That is a cannoli, well half a cannoli.  I can tell you that I loved it and will enjoy the other half tonight.

Finally

I'm sorrrrrrrrry tots.  I know it's been a long time since my last post but there is a reason for that.  I just haven't had much at all to say and I didn't want to bore anyone with my lack of funny and witty things to say.  Even this post isn't very stellar, now is it?  I just want all of you tots to know that I appreciate every one of you and hope that I provide at least a little bit of happiness when you read this.  Being a pug, everyone else being happy that I'm around is a very important thing!

Happy New Year!

To all of my tots, please have a safe and happy New Year's celebration.  Most of all, please don't forget about us cute little doggies while you are celebrating.  We don't like to be forgotten.

Geese

I don't know what these things are or what purpose they serve in this world.  Well I know one purpose is to annoy me!  Daduh tells me when I hear honking outside and I start to boof and bark that it's just some geese and to calm down.  I can never calm down.  I need to protect my daduh from anything that could harm him.  Anything that makes that much noise must be dealt with.

Grubbiness

Momuh and daduh say that I look like a grub now too.  This is coming from when I snuggle up on the couch with them and I kinda curl myself up into a little crescent shape.  I look like those little roly-poly bugs that you see in your garden.  I dunno if I'm berry happy about this comparison.  Do I really look like a  little tato grub?  I guess I kinda do, if you don't consider how ugly they are and how ridiculously cute I am!

My life

Hey everyone!!  Nothing special going on right about now in my little mundo.  I'm about to enjoy some wonderful time with my momuh and daduh this upcoming week.  Since they decided to take the time off that will equate to extra snuggles with Tato!!  You all know how I feel about snuggles, don't you?  I think everyone needs a little Tato in their life.

Reason's I'm better than a man

I only go to the bathroom when you let me.
I always want to snuggle.
I love you unconditionally.
I'll never cheat on you.
I'm extremely loyal.
I will make you laugh all the time.
I don't judge, even if you have morning hairs.
I have a furry chest (for those of you that like that kinda stuff).

People, pugs and piles of leaves

As I love to tell you guys, this time of year is wonderful for me.  Aside from the freak 12 inches of snow we got last week, the weather is wonderful.  Leaves are falling on the ground and that gives me something to run around in, crunch under my feet and tinkle into!!  This is one of the reasons why kids shouldn't jump into piles of leaves.  You never know when Tato has peed in them!!

I love seeing people that aren't usually around me.  Even if I know them and have seen them before, I can't help myself and I must act like a total nut and go crazy around them.  This is just how I am.  Deal with it, tots!

Trick or Treat!

I know you all probably think it's odd that we do the whole Trick or Treat thing where I live on a Friday, even if it isn't actually Halloween night.  I can't help that.  But as I'm sure you guys are starting to notice, I like to dress up a little bit for this special occasion.  I got a chill down to my bones when I wore this costume!

I'm sorrrrr

Oh my godness!!  I'm sorry my tots.  I know it's been far too long since I last updated you on the things happening in my little world.  My daduh has been busy trying to get a new job.  Guess what, he got one!!  He's been so busy focusing on that stuff that he hasn't been able to give me access to mash my little paws onto the keyboard in order to blog for you guys.  I promise I'll do better.  If it takes closing doors behind my daduh's back to get to this keyboard, I'll do it.  That's how much I love all my tots.

Happiness or Sadness?

Hey Tots!!  I've been thinking.  Although I'm not sure when, my daduh will potentially be unemployed again soon.  I'm a little bit conflicted about how to feel.  On one hand, I don't want my daduh to have to deal with all the poo of having to find another job and potentially not having one for a long time and how it'll look for finding future jobs.  On the other hand, most of my first few years of life were spent with him being home and taking care of me.  I loved having my daduh around and knowing he was there for me all the time.  What do you think tots?

Blah

I don't like this weather very much.  It makes me extra snuffly and I have a hard time breathing.  I want the cool fall weather where I can go to the doggie park a lot and play as hard as my little tater heart wants to.  When I sound like a little hacksaw, it may seem cute to everyone else, but it means I am having a hard time breathing and regulating my body temperature.  Remember folks, doggies can't sweat, so we pant to try and even out our temperature.  Of course, being a pug, if something interests me, or someone interests me, I can't say no and I must investigate.  So is the life of Russell.
