Spring Ahead

 We are really,...

 

 

really grateful for the extra hour of sunshine.

But please, if you care about us at all...

please, please, please...

give us back...

our hour of sleep.

March Is Here

It's March? Spring is almost here?

Even though the pugs no longer shiver through cold Kentucky winters, there is still a chill in the air around here. Macy is looking forward to the warmer mornings of spring!

Put On the Brakes

It has recently been brought to Macy's attention that city pug walks are much different than country pug walks.

Country pug walks are more like this - lots of green grass and clear pathways.

On city pug walks strange, scary things jump into your path. Like manhole covers, metal grates and sidewalk connectors.

It doesn't matter how hard you try.  There is no way Pug One is crossing.

Soon she looks up at you with those trusting eyes, and with a lot of verbal encouragement she'll ever so gingerly (and quickly) tip-toe over this particular spot. She expects full praise and back rubs once she does.

Then it's back in the bed. And when we face that spot tomorrow,  we'll put on the brakes all over again.

California Pugs

Some big changes have been happening at The Macy Dixie Line. The pugs have traded the Bluegrass and rural living for the California sunshine!

The process all started last fall. We began packing up the house. Dixie made a fleeting effort to help, most often by sitting on what needed to be packed next.

 We spent some time thinking about how we will miss the yard. And yes, that cherry tomato plant in the garden.

 Then there was 5 days of this.

 And this.

 But then a New Year's Eve celebration with the first visit to the beach!

Followed by a cozy evening by the fire.

Now we are getting settled in our new place. There are days when we miss a few things.

But now that mom gets to work from home, the days are filled with naps in the sunshine.

And sunset walks by the water with plenty of dog watching.

Yep, we're pretty sure this whole California thing isn't going to be half bad.

Happy Halloween!

We had only old costumes to work with this year, but we managed to pull out something presentable. Although, there was so posing together. Once I took my eyes away from Macy, off came the antlers. While I was taking her picture Dixie managed to get herself completely out of the candy corn dress.

The best we could do, but still pretty darn cute!

Wishing you a Happy Halloween!

Steal My Sunshine

Of all the sunshine on the entire driveway, you had to come and steal mine.

Pug Fall Photo Shoot

It's that time of year again. Time for the pug fall photo shoot. Something we do around here that one might equate to annual school pictures.

This year Dixie stole the show. Not because she made any effort to look at the camera, but because Macy was doing this.

And this.

She was searching out any stray cherry tomatoes that might be left in the yard from a plant that was removed from the garden weeks ago.

Fortunately I did manage to get this shot; my favorite of the evening.

And to Dixie's surprise I caught a few of her face. She has a bad habit of doing this:

I see you, and I'll glance, but no way am I going to look straight at you.

But give her long enough and she can't resist gazing at the cows. It's at that point that I practically shout - Gotcha!
