2010-06-20T22:46:00.003+02:00

I'm baaaaaaaack!

2010-06-20T22:40:00.001+02:00

Well for now at least... I'm living the life in Vancouver with my buddy Gizmo, ahhhhhh:) I'll update every once in a while, not as much as before but every so often, so check up on me sometimes!

Check out that last photo, hahaha, I was testing out Evelyn's hammock-two paws up!

Sorry everyone!

2010-03-23T18:40:00.000+01:00

It's been so long since I've posted! Who knew a having a baby takes up every minute of every day??? Here are a couple pics of my brother and I, checking out whats going on outside:)

2010-01-16T11:17:00.003+01:00

This is a video of my little bro learning to crawl but I totally stole the show, haha!

Staying warm by the fire...

Xmas holidays with my best buds:)

Mowglie and I
Mowglie, me, Inge, and Baloe relaxing in the Ardennes
Ha, I look so fat here!
I love this photo
Hi there! I'm having so much fun with my friends, exploring the great outdoors. More pics to come...

After the bath...

2009-11-23T15:46:00.002+01:00

I always curl up in the corner of the couch and doze for the rest of the day. Probably because immediately after a bath I run around like a MANIAC, and wear myself out...

Sleepy buddies

2009-11-07T10:37:00.000+01:00

Awwwwww, too cute!

2009-11-03T18:29:00.000+01:00

Happy Halloween!

2009-10-30T16:43:00.001+01:00

So much fun!

Oh, and in the pictures underneath this... the batter was spilt ON ME! Hahaha

SniffSniffSniff... where is it???

2009-10-26T14:30:00.002+01:00

Mmmmm, cake batter... smalls so good! Where is it???? I can smell it, but I can't find it!

O squared

2009-10-15T17:49:00.000+02:00

Olive and Owen-bff's!

Chillin with my dad

2009-10-13T14:22:00.001+02:00

Just hanging out, cuddling up with my dad on the couch. My favorite place to be... next to or (preferably) on someone.

Sooooo long!

2009-09-30T12:44:00.003+02:00

We moved into our new apartment, and pre-season is over, so no more excuses! With my new brother mom has not been very good about updating my blog... but we'll get back into it, I promise!

Aw man! Lemme out!

2009-08-19T13:02:00.001+02:00

Geez Louise, back in the bag! I made it though, we're all back in Belgium... Mowglie & Baloe, lets hang out:)

Taking over the toys

2009-08-17T15:47:00.001+02:00

Bodyguard Olive

2009-08-11T18:54:00.001+02:00

You have to get past me to get to little Owen! Look how vicious I am... Hahahaha:)

Hanging with my little bro

2009-07-18T02:58:00.000+02:00

So long... but for a good reason!

2009-07-10T01:16:00.003+02:00

MY NEW BROTHER... Owen. He is 3 weeks old, and soooo cute! We'll still be posting, probably at like 4am when mom is up feeding him!

Bosco James!!!

2009-06-22T10:30:00.001+02:00

O!M!G! This is my neighboor Bosco James. I love him! He is 4 months old and the cutest thing ever! Of course, we're moving to the other side of town this week and I won't get to see him grow up... man! I my have to come back to my old park every once in a while to stalk him:)

Bath time!

2009-06-16T11:50:00.002+02:00

Here I am in the tub... after all the parks we've been going to lately I had gotten a little filthy. So, bath time was in order. I don't mind, I always get a treat after, I'm even licking my chops here in anticipation!

Back to Back CHAMPS!

2009-06-09T11:55:00.005+02:00

We won the championship-AGAIN! Way to go dad!

Sorry guys for not posting in so long... the computer is messed up and we can't get to an apple store until we go back to Chicago. We're borrowing a friend's Dell for now, so no bluetooth until we get the old one back, and we have lots of great pics on mom's phone, we just can't upload them! Here is one I found on the camera though... small cutie!

Remember this tree?

2009-05-21T15:34:00.002+02:00

I went back to the big park by dad's sport complex and that HUGE tree that was there a few weeks ago is gone! Well, almost gone... this is all thats left. I was kind of looking forward to climbing on it. Oh well. We're about to go to another park right now-when the sun is out in Belgium you have to take advantage! You never know when it will come out again. Au revoir!

New camera!!!

2009-05-20T18:17:00.001+02:00

We're back to posting! Mom just went and got a new camera today since it would cost more to fix the old one. Heres a test pic, it looks like it works great... how cute am I???

Furminator!!!

2009-05-11T11:57:00.002+02:00

The furminator rules! OK, I myself am not the biggest fan, but mom loves it! Every time she vacuums I get "furminated", and you would not believe how much hair comes off of me! It stops me from shedding so much for a few days. You can't really tell from this photo, but there was a TON of air in the tub! From just brushing me for a few mintues.

Did you all know it was my birthday this weekend???? I'm SEVEN! Pictures to come... mom dropped the camera and it's not working right now:(

Found some old pics!

2009-05-02T11:29:00.002+02:00

Running up ahead to dog beach... come on guys! Hurry up!!
WOOHOOOOOOO!
On the way home now, that was fun:)
OK, time to eat! I don't know why I have a hat on my butt, but whatever, FEED ME!

Haha, I'm such a goofball

2009-04-24T10:47:00.002+02:00

Who lays like this?
If there is ANY room between mom and dad I squeeze my way in and make myself comfortable. There was not that much room this morning, so I had to scrunch my legs back behind me... it was pretty comfortable actually.

My new favorite spot

2009-04-21T16:41:00.002+02:00

It's been SO nice out here, and you know how I love to lay in the sun... so mom put one of my pillows outside on the terrace. Well, it's quickly turned into my favorite spot! This is where you'll find me if the sun is out:)

New (old) couch

2009-04-17T15:13:00.002+02:00

We used to have an an AWFUL red, fake leather couch all year long. I would slide all over it, and it was SO uncomfortable. Oh yeah, it was also broken, so we could only really sit on one half of it... not good. So back in SEPTEMBER we asked for a new one, or our old one back. Well finally, yesterday, we got our old couch back! Yay! I found my usual spot right away and curled up for a little nap.

Another day, another park!

2009-04-05T11:10:00.001+02:00

We found a HUGE new park in town, and I had so much fun running around and smelling stuff. Check out what I found... there must have been a storm or something. I look so small here!

Fun at the park

2009-03-22T23:09:00.002+01:00

It's been soo nice and warm and sunny all week, and today dad had the day off so we all took a trip to the park, fun! I had a great time, sniffed a lot of different things, and basically wore myself out. I'm STILL sleeping, haha, it's almost midnight. I have to get back into summer walking shape!

Ahhhhhh, I love the sun!

2009-03-20T10:43:00.001+01:00

When its sunny out, this is all I do... lay in it! Anywhere it is, I'll find it and LAZE. Like here, I had just woken up, but I can always take a nice little nap in the sun, no matter what time it is!

More dog show photos!

2009-03-06T11:10:00.002+01:00

Haha, looks like this guy is halfway through a haircut!
Getting a blowout
Um, whats going on with these pup's ears?
Awww, he doesn't look to happy about it!

DOG SHOW!!!

2009-03-02T16:56:00.002+01:00

Mom just got back from Chicago, and it was perfect timing! The dog show was going on! So you knwo she got up early to see the pug competition at 8am. So many cuties there! They look just like me except are much better behaved and not as long as me.

One last photo...

2009-02-17T17:29:00.001+01:00

No, it's not me, but look who mom saw at lunch today... Looks just like my cuz GIZMO! Mom will see him this weekend in Chicago, I'm a little jealous:) We've never seen a Gizmo here in Belgium before, and what a cutie this guy is!

It's been a while...

2009-02-16T15:45:00.002+01:00

Mom went to Paris, to Rome (and saw a pug! Little cutie too:) and now she's going home to Chicago for 10 days! So I'll be here with dad... relaxing. Here I am doing just that, snuggled in between some legs.

Laying in the laundry

2009-02-04T23:22:00.002+01:00

I love to curl up in some warm laundry, and I love to rest my head on something-anything-when I lay down. See?

Nap time with dad

2009-01-28T14:32:00.001+01:00

No matter how dad is laying, I always manage to climb up and find a good spot to nuzzle into. A nap is always better with a cuddle buddy!

OBAMA!

2009-01-22T17:08:00.001+01:00

Just watching our new president give his inauguration speech... way to go man!

Such a long time!

2009-01-20T14:12:00.002+01:00

I know I know, why haven't I posted in so long? Not much going on, the weather has been gross. But today it is SUNNY and nice, so we're going for a walk in the park. Hopefully mom remembers her camera this time!

What I've been up to in 2009

2009-01-08T12:56:00.001+01:00

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Cuddling with my buds

2008-12-29T11:12:00.001+01:00

Hey everyone... I'm back at home after a GREAT week with Mowglie and Baloe! Here we are having a little nap together.

OH MY GOD!

2008-12-21T01:40:00.002+01:00

Holy Moly! That is one fat pug!

Mom took me to Hasselt today for a delish dinner and now I'm with my buddies, Mowglie and Baloe for a week. I'm being good mom, I promise! Pictures on their blog tomorrow... yay!

Merry Christmas!!!

2008-12-19T15:10:00.002+01:00

Check out the picture mom saw online! It looks just like Baloe, me, and Mowglie! Tomorrow I'm going to stay with my best buddies for a week while mom and dad go to Chicago. I can't wait! We have so so so much fun together. I get totally spoiled, I even get to sleep in the big bed! So no more posts for another week or so, but I'm sure Inge and Susie will take a lot of photos, so I'll put them up when mom and dad get home. Or you can check Mowglie and Baloe's blog. See you all later!

So long......

2008-12-15T14:28:00.002+01:00

I know I know it's been so long since we've updated my blog... my grampa was in town and just left yesterday. I didn't really have time to post anything new. Don't worry, you didn't miss anything. Here's a pic of mom and I from a while back.

No more cone!!!

2008-12-03T12:18:00.001+01:00

Yippie! And, more snow! What a great day:)

First (HUGE) snow of the year!

2008-11-23T16:53:00.003+01:00

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Here I come!

So much fun! Mom caught me here for a split second while I stood still... I love to run and run and run in the white stuff! It's funny with my cone on I shovel as I sniff, haha:)

What the...?!

2008-11-20T19:36:00.002+01:00

I was NOT expecting this!!! It was just this little thing, no biggie! This is the worst, and I have to wear it for at least 10 days????? We'll see about that! I think they put some sort of disinfectant in my eyes, because they're green-ish. And, it's hard to tell from the photos but they shaved a bit above my left eye, and I have HUGE long stitches. Aw man. This is no fun.

At the vet...

2008-11-20T15:44:00.002+01:00

I'm having an operation today to remove a little thing from my eyelid. It's not easy to get a picture of since it's pretty small, but you can sort of see it in that last photo. It's just a little thing I've had for about a year and you could never even notice it, but lately mom and dad have noticed it more and more... it seems to be getting bigger. So, there is a special doggie opthamologist that is taking care of me today. I wish they didn't have to put me under, but I suppose its a good idea. You know there is NO WAY I'm letting anyone near my eyes! Haha! So mom and dad dropped me off early this morning (I was only a little scared, no biggie) and are coming back to pick me up in a couple hours. I'm sure I'll be all droopy and sad, like before when they took care of my teeth. So mom will take pathetic photos and post them for you all to see. Hahaha:) See you all soon!

White whisker

2008-11-11T13:50:00.002+01:00

Here I was sitting on mom's lap, I like to sit facing her leaning back on her knees... anyway, she took this photo (which I have to say, is not the most flattering angle of me). But, you can totally see my white whisker! And mom thinks I have quite a funny expression on my face, although she can't quite put her finger on what it is...

The headless pugman

2008-11-01T17:34:00.000+01:00

Happy Halloween!

Hey!!!!!!! What the...?

2008-10-30T16:33:00.001+01:00

I'm going to need some help here! This is so not funny...

In the spotlight

2008-10-21T14:24:00.001+02:00

I always find the sun spot.... ahhhh, nice

I love car rides

2008-10-19T00:22:00.001+02:00

OMG! Dad is going 119!!!! Haha, it's no biggie, its kilometers...

Le Bois de la Cambre

Petit French bulldog
Big dog mom tried to catch on the run
Another buddy... Next time mom and dad go to the best park in Brussels, I'M GOING TOO!

Damn Cubs!

2008-10-08T00:05:00.002+02:00

Here I am watching the Cubs looooooooose!
I'm outta here, can't watch anymore!

Butte du Lion

2008-09-28T18:20:00.002+02:00

We went to see where the battle of Waterloo was today, since it was so nice out. We drive past it all the time so we decided to finally go. The best part?............gelato!
Which I was lucky enough to try after mom dropped hers! hahaha! It was so good, violette!
Then I got tired so I had a little lay down.

Just chillin

2008-09-22T22:25:00.002+02:00

I always like to find a sun spot to relax in. This was a good one.

And fyi, everyone is asking about this Stefan Everts dude in the picture down there. He is Mowglie and Baloe's uncle. Apparently he's the best guy ever at motocross (?),,, or some sort of bike riding. Like, 10 time world champion or something. Anywho, their grama made me a shirt for Xmas one year. So... #1 fan!

WHAT?!?!

2008-09-17T10:57:00.002+02:00

How did I not know about this??? I am, of course, a member of the Stefan Everts fan club... see my cool shirt? But I had no idea about the FABULOUS COMEBACK! Woohoo, I am so excited! I was walking and there was a big billboard about it! I went to take a photo for Mowglie and Baloe-tje and now it's gone... anyway, I will be wearing my shirt in support! Alle Stefan!

New friend...

2008-09-14T20:43:00.002+02:00

This is Stella, trying to be tough...
But really shes just a sweetie! She's Bentley's new little sister, even though he is not quite sure how he feels about her yet... she's only 9 weeks old, he'll come around. Look at that face!

New apartment in Belgium

2008-09-11T10:38:00.002+02:00

We're back in Belgium! Same town, different apartment... and this one is SO much better! I even have a little park right out the front door! Mom took this picture of dad and I from the balcony. There is an elevator and if dad is at the bottom and mom is at the top, sometimes she'll put me in and send me down... I really don't think I get it. Like the fact that I'm going up and down I mean. Haha

Mmmmmm, nyla bone!

2008-09-08T07:19:00.001+02:00

Num num num num, chomp chomp chomp
And I'm spent

Wheres PugO?

2008-09-04T22:20:00.001+02:00

Where am I???
Zoom, here I am! Resting my little butt on the armrest...
Just lounging around, trying to blend in.

Fell asleep at my post...

2008-09-01T02:34:00.001+02:00

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What? Who, me? I'm awake!

Mmmmmmmm!

2008-08-31T00:03:00.000+02:00

I love corn on the cob!

Or not...

2008-08-27T00:48:00.000+02:00

maybe I'll just play tug-o-war with my new outfit.

Soon I'll be quite famous...

2008-08-27T00:42:00.002+02:00

Just like my friends in Against Me!

Easy Sunday morning

2008-08-24T21:29:00.002+02:00

Mom and I like to get the huge Sunday paper and a huge cup of coffee and sit on the floor for hours reading it. I stole the Entertainment section this morning...

Warning! Do not buy this toy and if you have it, throw it away... sad:(

2008-08-21T18:22:00.000+02:00

http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/

Huh?

2008-08-17T01:22:00.002+02:00

I'm so confused... dad packed his bags and left this morning, but now he's back. Bags and all. Huh? How can they just cancel a flight? I'm happy he's here though! Although now we have to do goodbyes all over again tomorrow:(

Trying sooooo hard!

2008-08-14T07:18:00.001+02:00

There was a bit of apple that I accidentally pushed under the radiator the other day. D'oh!
Help? Please!

In the car again...

2008-08-11T16:50:00.001+02:00

I know we have not been posting so much this summer... I'm a busy pug and we don't always have the camera with us. I'll try to update more often, I promise.

On the way to the in-laws...

2008-07-29T18:13:00.002+02:00

Here I am going to the Matela's in Indiana... I get very excited in the car, followed by very sleepy. I was about to doze off in this photo.
We had a nice time at the bbq (even though I got into a fight with Sammy over a treat). Actually at the time it was nice, as everyone was giving me treats like pieces of hot dog and burger even tough mom asked them not to. Turns out it was not so nice later, when I woke up 3 times in the night to throw up. Ick. I'm better now, but come on people, I'm a DOG-no people food, even if I give you my cutest little head tilt puppy dog face!

Too tired for the fun...

2008-07-16T22:01:00.002+02:00

It's awfully hot here in Chicago, so when mom went to the parade I decided to stay home on the couch...
And look what I missed!
This guy was watching from his window! I guess he wanted to stay home too, but got to watch from the couch, nice! What a cutie:)

Just lazin' around

2008-06-19T18:34:00.002+02:00

Dad wanted to take me for a walk outside, but I was not having it. Too hot, too lazy. I decided to just plop down outside the door instead.
Now here I am wanting to not exactly go outside, just look outside. Well this window was not open and I hit my little head on it, haha, I was fine. Hung out here for a while, it was cool.

Sweet Home Chicago!

2008-06-12T17:33:00.002+02:00

We ran into some buddies at dog beach, what a cutie!
And this guy.... Safe to say my dad will NEVER carry me around like this.
Here I am sleepy-headed after the beach, good night:)

Going home!

2008-06-01T17:03:00.002+02:00

We won the championship last night, woohooooo! Way to go dad! So I'm headed home for the summer, wish me luck on my flight:)

Too funny!

2008-05-29T10:59:00.002+02:00

Since I'll probably be back in Chicago next week, I'm preparing to go back to doggie beach by my house. I promise I'll do a better job than these guys! Hahahaha, so funny!

Charlie!

2008-05-28T12:29:00.002+02:00

Um, cutest pup ever! He's only 3 months old, we met at the park and had so much fun playing:)

Fun at the park!

2008-05-25T11:54:00.001+02:00

SS, Mom, SP, and small Bentley head
What? I wore myself out, needed a lift. So?

The only other pug in town

2008-05-23T18:13:00.002+02:00

Seriously, it might just be me and this guy. I've never seen a pug here before.

Hard to see, but...

2008-05-21T12:46:00.001+02:00

If you look closely I was resting my head on dad's head. It was the cutest thing ever! Mom didn't want to turn on the light and disturb the cuteness, so it's a bit dark, but still.

More fun in the sun!

2008-05-11T15:59:00.002+02:00

The weather has been soooo nice lately! Hard to believe we're in Belgium, no rain for days! So I'm taking advantage by taking frequent trips to the park. I run my little butt off so hopefully I'll loose a kilo or 2 before I get on the plane!

Wooohooooo! Happy birthday to me!

2008-05-08T21:28:00.002+02:00

On the way to the park! Yippie!
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet???
YES! PARK!
This guys name is GIZMO! Just like my buddy at home! He ended up getting a little too "friendly" with me, if you know what I mean... he was super cute though, and only 7 months old
My best bud Bentley and I, taking a breather. We were so pooped! I chase and chase and chase and I can never catch him...

oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!

2008-05-07T15:34:00.002+02:00

Tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! I'll be 6! I know I know I haven't posted in sooooo long, but since it's been nice out we've been going to the park a lot and of course mom always forgets the camera! But tomorrow for sure we'll bring it and post all the birthday fun, yay!

Come on already...

2008-04-12T18:16:00.004+02:00

Sheesh, mom and dad are always on the computer! Pay attention to me!

Final four with my buddies

2008-04-06T14:45:00.004+02:00

Bentley came over to watch the games with me
There are a bag of cookies up there...
"Hey Bent, what should we do? You distract them while I sneak and grab the cookies... ok on 3!"

Hahahahaha

2008-03-28T22:05:00.002+01:00

I do the same thing! Haha, I can't wait to get back to Chicago and go to dog beach. Everyone laughs so hard because I continue swimming after mom picks me up! So cute. I found this over on Meimei and Miko's page, thanks guys:)

What the heck?

2008-03-27T15:03:00.003+01:00

So much for Spring!

Spring has sprung!

Raoul has some awesome pictures of himself in a field of daffodils on his blog... and while spring has also sprung here in Belgium, where we live is not so lovely and we have yet to find this park we've heard about. So mom has her own little "spring" in the house. Here I am trying to recreate Raoul's photos. Um... we've got to find that park!

Nothing to do with me but...

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen... and it gets funnier every time you watch it. Enjoy!

Awww

I'm sure you've all seen this by now. I saw it yesterday and was completely captivated by it! Mom tried to get a video of it on her phone but it didn't really work out. The memory stick/camera is still messed up, thats why we haven't been posting as much. We're working on it!

Over here in Belgium we get a British show called "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross", which is so funny! Kind of like a Letterman or Leno, but much funnier. And turns out, Jonathan has a PUG! Awesome!

Sorry...

We have not posted in so long! Mom's camera is being weird, the memory stick is saying no room but it's empty. Huh? So here are some photos from her phone. The first couple we were playing tug-o-war with the pillow, and the last one I'm a superhero, obviously:)

Awesome!

I'm back to my old self, which means sleeping all the live long day.
You can't really tell but here is where they shaved my little arm for the IV, I think it's starting to grow back a little.

At the vet as we speak...

Mom just dropped me off at the vet. Aw man... I had to get up really early, didn't get any breakfast, and am probably snoring away already. When I wake up I will have a nice clean mouth! Goodbye gingivitis! My buddy Bentley is there too for the same thing, so they said they will put us together when we wake up so we will feel better and have a cuddle buddy while we're coming out of anesthesia. See you in a few hours!
