Snuggle Pugs
Although Sid is a bit of an aloof tough guy most of the time, his softer side does occasionally come out. Nice work, Miss Timothy Buttons.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things…
So, as Brian mentioned, Sid got one of his birthday presents early. It’s a giant, unwieldy snake-like monster with very, very loud squeakers running up and down it’s body, crinkly arms, and a rattler in its tail. Sid’s only allowed to play with it for, like, five minutes, once a day, because he turns into a MANIAC when it’s around.
“Awww, but look at Sid, so calmly snuggling with his cuddly new squeaky snake,” you say. What a sweetheart, right?
Thankfully we have a video camera to capture the truth:
They Say It’s Your Birthday!
Today is Sid’s big day and we kicked off the celebration with a pug cake. Well, it wasn’t technically a cake but rather a combination of some of his favorite treats.
We started with one de-cored apple, slathered on some chunky all-natural peanut butter, and topped the whole thing with carrot slivers to serve as the candles (he’s six this year). We set up a towel for him to eat this goopy mega-treat on but he immediately plucked it up and toted it over to his bed where he started going to town.
In order to try and encourage him to slow down a little and savor the experience, we took the cake away for a moment…
…and of course his little pug face immediately dropped. It’s Okay, buddy, you can have the cake back now.
Timothy Buttons, who was over for the party, made sure no peanut butter drippings got left behind. She’s a smart girl and knew better than to get between an obsessive Birthday Pug and his cake!
In addition to the cake and Sid’s Secret Toy (which we’ll reveal tomorrow) he also got a flat plush rabbit raccoon (You were right, Payton!).
Like the Secret Toy, the flat rabbit raccoon also brought out the wild animal in him!
Sid, let’s calm down a little. We don’t want that cake to come back up!
All in all it was one excellent Birthday. Sid is one happy (and spoiled) 6-year-old!
Birthday Eve
Tomorrow is Sid’s 6th Birthday, so we’ve been getting plans together for a celebration he won’t soon forget.
We’ve got a Birthday cake planned that will contain all his favorite edibles – juicy apples, tantalizing carrots, and pugtastic peanut butter. Ok, sorry if I made some of you hungry just now. We’ve also got a giant plush surprise for him – well, not really a surprise per se since we kinda let him play with it last night. If you want to see Sid’s wild side be sure to stay tuned for the video of him with his new toy.
We’d like invite all pugs, non-pugs, and humans to celebrate with us. Give your dogs a few extra treats on Sid’s behalf.
Finalist!
Thanks to the votes of his loyal friends and fans, Sid made it as a finalist in the Curly Tail Pug Rescue 2012 Calendar Contest. Thank you all for your votes!
But the contest is not over yet and the votes are still important to ensure he gets on a page in the calendar.
Here are the links to vote:
AUGUST or OCTOBER
(Sid’s fur-pals, Mochi, Macho, and Marshmallow are also finalists for February and May! Congrats you guys!)
So just to remind you of how calendar-worthy Sid is, here’s some cute shots of him from this past weekend.
Stick-burgler
So, Sid has never, ever, shown any interest in fetching a stick. Timothy, however, is a stick aficionado, and the other morning while we were at Prospect Park, something amazing happened…
Timothy found herself a comically large stick. It’s right there, in the grass.
We began playing fetch with Timothy. Sid, mildly confused by Timothy’s excitement, began chasing her each time we threw the stick to see what she was so excited about.
After about five throws, something clicked in Sid’s brain – there must be something delicious about that stick!
So, Sid, for the first time ever, began playing fetch with a stick.
And, in typical Sid fashion, our game of stick-fetch instantly went from “lighthearted fun” to OBSESSION.
Struggles commenced.
Hilarious struggles.
But Sid would not let go.
He wouldn’t even drop the stick so Brian could throw it again!
Had we created A MONSTER??!!
Only time will tell…
The Aviator
Sid believes he can fly.
Sid believes he can touch the sky.
He thinks about it every night and day.
He’ll spread his wings and fly away…or, at least, man the controls of one of those new-fangled flying machines like the great Amelia Pugheart and conveniently “disappear from the radar” while flying over that magical warehouse in the Bermuda Triangle where all of the treats that exist in the universe are stored.
