Prospect Park Pug Pile-Up
This Sunday we had a great time at the off-leash hours in Prospect Park. Many of Sid’s pug friends were also in attendance, including his buddy, Eddie.
However the real party was just getting started.
As we, Eddie, and his parents were on our way out of the park, in strolled a familiar face: Winston!
Sid pulled Winston aside and attempted to impart the ancient ways of treat acquisition, while Eddie explained the best technique for face licking.
Almost immediately, in walked another pug friend, Cosmo!
Cosmo started running and everyone else joined in the chase. At this point, it was starting to become difficult to tell everyone apart as they all had on blue harnesses (I think we ended up bringing the right pug home with us).
Of course, Winston ended up being the center of attention.
We can’t wait for next weekend!!!
Playin’ it Cool
With the hot weather starting to reach its peak, it’s very important to keep our little pug buddy comfortable. We keep the A/C on in our apartment (even when he’s just home alone), avoid mid-day walks, and bring our handy kleen kanteen along with a portable nylon water dish when we go to the park for off-leash hours in order to keep Sid thoroughly hydrated.
What tips do you have for keeping your furry friend cool during the summer?
Sid’s Grandma and Grandpa Visit NYC
Sorry the posts have been a bit sporadic this past week – we had some company in town.
My parents came out for their first visit to NYC. Needless to say, we had a lot of ground to cover so every day was pretty much packed with activities. We did manage to squeeze in some Sid time with them and they both got to see our little guy run around like a maniac at the Prospect Park off-leash hours. Go, Sid, go!
Happy Father’s Day
Sid’s got an awesome dad. He does everything that awesome dads do. For example…
He teaches Sid the value of hard work:
He establishes fair rules and rewards Sid for good behavior:
He encourages a healthy lifestyle and brings Sid to the vet for regular check-ups:
He isn’t ashamed to carry a pug in a shopping bag, when necessary:
And he’s never too busy for a good snuggle:
Happy Father’s Day, Brian!! You’re the best!
Sid and the Off-limit Pillows
Hello, friends and family of all species!
I’m currently working away on PART THREE! of Sid’s adoption saga (Here’s Part One and Part Two). The gripping conclusion of this suspenseful tale should be ready…eh, sometime this week, I suppose.
IN THE MEANTIME…
I present the second installment of Pug Slope’s newest video series:
SIDDHARTHA LAMONT: PUG GENIUS OR DWEEB EXTRAORDINAIRE?
Let’s see what type of shenanigans Sid pulls in today’s video, shot while we were still living in California:
Wow. This is gonna be a tough one! Let’s look at the arguments for each side…
Pug Genius: We had three dogs in the house at the time, and with that many dogs running around, you gotta set some rules. For example, the fancy throw pillows were only allowed on the couch while humans were actively sitting on it so that the dogs couldn’t ruin the nice pillows by doing things like, you know, violently rubbing their faces all over them. Sick of seeing those fancy pillows sitting all clean and tidy on the bottom shelf of our banquet table because of some arbitrary rule, Sid decided to take matters into his own paws. If he couldn’t thrash on those pillows while they were on the sofa, then he’d climb right up and thrash on those pillows while they were stored on their shelf.
Dweeb Extraordinaire: Um, hello?!! For real? We’re standing right there!!
