The Tale of the Traveling Pug

So the other day, the Little Buddy and I ran out to the doctor to have ear infections diagnosed – cold and flu season is in full swing here – I need to bust out my button from last year! When we came back -
no Penelope the Pug -
we looked everywhere -
called her name -
called her name -
no pug.
We called the vet, we called the animal control people, we called my BFF’s and neighbors.
We jumped in the car we drove – we called out -
PENNY!!!!!
PENNER MENNER!!!!!!
PENELOPE ANNE THE PUG WHERE ARE YOU????????
One of my best BFF’s jumped in the car with her two youngest and drove around -
PENNY!!!!!
PENNER MENNER!!!!!!
PENELOPE ANNE THE PUG WHERE ARE YOU????????
Sigh – we went and picked up the middle child, went in to get a snack before returning to the streets to continue the search…
and there, low and behold, from behind the snack bucket, marched out a very sleepy
PUG!
This was my facebook status update:
Holly thought she had a Pug on the Lam but it turned out I had a Pug in the Pantry.
Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving

Twas the night before Thanksgiving…
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring - not even a mouse.
The tables were arranged with obsessive care
In hopes that the relatives would be happy there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
Battered and traumatized from the many times that Mommy said….
Do not make a mess – don’t touch that it’s clean!
The Mommy worked hard to not be too mean.
and Mamma in her sweat pants
and Daddy in his hat
Were never going to get
Their much deserved nap.
When from the kitchen there arose such a clatter
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
Away to the pantry I flew with a dash.
Threw open the door and let out a gasp.
When what to my exhausted eyes should appear
but a bad little pug with no morals or fear
Doing the best that she knew how to do
To hoist her fat self to the top shelf of food.
She was little and feisty and naughty and quick
I knew in a moment that I never should kick.
More rapid than eagles my coursers they came
and suddenly words came out of my mouth much too horrible to name!
At this point I am not sure that I remember the song
Plus there is still much to do and my rhyme is too long.
I will gladly exclaim as I turn off the light
Happy Thanksgiving to all
and to all a good night!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

ROXY GET OFF THE ROOF!

Can I just put it out there that you should only have to say this statement ONCE? Not twice, not three times, and definitely not daily….
This dog will be the death of me.
Let me preface all of this with a quick explantion:
1. Our A/C is currently out of service so we are keeping the windows open for most of the day (That being said, we do not just leave them flappin’ open when the house is not occupied – for all of the crazies out there)
2. And the screens on our Upstairs Front Windows are off for repair right now (I think…they could very well be off forever for all I know)
This dog of ours has let herself onto the roof EVERY SINGLE day for the past 2 weeks or so. At least once a day. I have neighbors knocking on the front door to tell me this. Yelling down the street to tell me this. The first time – I shrieked in horror and ran up to get her. Probably did the same thing the second time. Now, I just walk out front – take a look at her up on the roof – yell at her a bit – and come back inside.
She’s a freak.
And making us a bit of a spectacle in the neighborhood. Please tell me that other people’s dogs embarrass them like this. Please. Please???
When Shauna is explaining to the neighbors why her dog is on the roof, she hangs out here at Burb Mom and blogs at Blah Blah Blog.
