HEY-lo, this is sara again.... actually blogging from the san diego comic-con. I didn't want too much time to pass before I talked about Muppy's special birthday numero 2, which was on Wednesday... which happened to be the day we left on the train for san diego. Anyway, when i stopped into the 3 dog bakery, i also picked up some stuff for Muppy- a cute bunny rabbit toy with a similar design to Gertrude's birthday elephant, as well as a HUGE cookie.... i couldn't find anything with shih-tzu in the title like Gerti's pug-bug, but what can you do. The morning before we left I made sure to wish her a happy birthday before we left... and although i haven't found anything for them yet, maybe i will find some toys for them at the comic-con. I miss them super ridiculously much.... but we are having a LOT of fun. some highlights were meetin MST3K guys (yeeeees) as well as seeing George Romero, a hero of mine.... but the convention is still young. the other night we got to see the puppies via webcam at my in-laws' house, because i just plain missed the crap out of them. maybe we will do that again tonight.....

Hello everybody. Nothing too huge has been going on-I have been trying to take the dogs out for more walkies to wear them out a bit and give them more exercise (although they aren't really flabby or anything...). Yesterday was my day off so I met up with my friend Courtney for coffee at this hoity toity place near where we live called the Lakes. I have been there a few times with Muppy and Gertrude, and they seem to like it- sit in the shade and human-watch. Yesterday was particularly hot in Southern California where we live, so there was more sitting than walking, but it was still pleasant. Today I went back to work and saw a couple of REALLY cute Westies, one of which my co-worker might adopt. I love seeing puppies in the bank- it always brightens my day. And it just so happens i had my camera on me! So, those random cute white pups are them- not even named yet! Makes me miss Gerti and Muppy's cousin, Tilly.... sigh. Will report more later- Muppy's birthday is next week, on what happens to be preview night of the biggest dorkfest of the year in San Diego.... comic-con.

Today is here! And you know what today is? My little pug baby's FIRST birthday! One year ago today she came in to this world, born to change the world! TURN THE BLOG WORLD ON ITS EAR!! Well, maybe not quite yet, but she has definitely improved my, Steve and Muppy's lives for the better! This week I was scheduled to be in training in sunny Pasadena, Ca, where there happens to be a Three Dog Bakery, which I heard a lot about about from Shelby's blog. So, I picked up some treats for Gertrude's birthday (and for Muppy's second birthday, which is on the 25th) and also a nice new elephant, because she loves her other smaller elephant, which we bought for her the day we got her. Among some of the CUTE snacks i got for the girls, there was a little lady-bug like cookie which i had to get for Gerti, as it is called a pug-bug, as well as some cute star cookies that were for Muppy so she wouldn't feel left out. Let me tell you, Gerti fell in love with that elephant the second I took it out of the bag, and seriously scarfed the ginormous pug-bug cookie. Muppy definitely seemed to enjoy the little star cookie too. I am so pleased that we (My friend and co-worker Janine who i carpooled to training with) went over there today on break! Definitely worth the look on my little birthday girl's face:). I will update more later, but i had to post some photos from the day!

!happy belated 4th of July! hope everyone had a safe one. we didn't really do too much for our holiday. the 3rd was my mom's b-day, but steve and i had to work and knew we were coming out for the 4th, so we didnt get to see her the day of, but we did have guests over and watched all kinds of silliness. Gerti and Muppy have been really tired lately due to the HEAT (mid 90s into the 100s some days) so there really hasnt been that much activity with them. we took some really cute pics of them the other day just hanging out- Gertrude was even watching TV with us, sitting like a frog. for the 4th we went to my mom's house, but we forgot our camera so no pics of the day of. until next time, enjoy....

ok ok ok- let me first start with an apology and a comment that June was a very busy month and nothing too exciting or amazing has really been going on with the puppies. Muppy got groomed (which she sorely needed) and Gerti- well, Gerti has just been Gerti. June was the month of our anniversary, so we went on a trip to San Francisco (very fun by the way) and the girls stayed with their grandparents for a couple of days. We had been busy planning that trip, and then towards the end of this month is our annual journey to San Diego for the comic-con (we are nerds). We go every year, and the dogs again get to stay with their grandparents. A couple of relevant events later this month are the 11th (gerti turns 1) and the 25th (muppy turns 2)! i haven't really decided what we are going to do to celebrate all this, but it will definitely bun fun and filled with more treats/toys for the puppers. maybe even a jaunt to the dog park. we will see. ARG!!! well, steve just caught muppy eating her own poop, so i guess i should get going. here are some pictures to tide everyone over- i promise to never go more than a month without posting ever again!
