I'm Eatin' a Green Bean

Do you know how much I love gardening season? On the down side, Woman locks me out of the garden and ignores me to spend time with her plants, but on the upside, which is more up than the downside is down, I get to enjoy the bounty of her efforts! Green Beans are so yummy!

I also enjoy tomatoes and peas, but I don't like lettuce one bit. I can't believe you people eat that junk!

I am going to be in Mobile all next week. We're leaving tomorrow morning. I probably won't get to blog much, because Woman will be busy "at work." I don't know what that means, but I don't like the sound of it!

Fudge Dipped Oreo Cake

Tuesday was Trevor's 18th birthday! For his Birthday, Woman made him a giant fudge dipped oreo cookie!

Looks pretty yummy, eh? From the sounds of things, it was yummy. I did not get any though, because Woman said that much chocolate would kill me if I even looked at it, so I was sure to avert my eyes from the glory of the cake.

Here is Trevor blowing out his candle. He's lightning fast, so the photo is all blurred.

And this is what happened next. Trevor unhinged his jaw and ate the entire cake in one bite!

Crazy teenagers...

Woman used her classic "Best Ever Chocolate Cake" recipe from the Southern Living cookbook for the cake. For the filling, she beat 8oz of cream cheese with 1/2 cup of sugar, then stirred in 12 coarsely chopped oreos and 2 cups of homemade whipped cream. The "fudge dip" is 4 bars of baking chocolate melted on the stove with 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar stirred into the mixture. To get it the right consistency, you then have to plunge the pot into ice and stir for about 5 minutes; otherwise, it's too runny. After you pour the fudge onto the cake, be sure to refrigerate it for an hour or so to help the fudge set up.

Oh yeah, and the cake has like ALL the calories in the world in it, so eat it with restraint.

I prefer to munch on herbs, because they're healthy.

You humans and your sugar ...

A Pug in the Hand

Is worth two in the armpits?

sam, sarah and norman

I'm not sure what that means. Maybe Big Girl Sarah was out of deodorant and decided to use us Pugs to mask her musk. I did just have a bath last month after all!

Who is that extra Pug you ask? Don't get too excited. It is neither my new sibling nor my soul mate Pugsley. It's Sammy!!

He's a good looking boy, and I like the way his butt smells.

Sammy is Meghan's Pug. You may remember Meghan as Big Girl Sarah's co-worker at the Chestnut Foundation. Remember? I got to work with her. Fun times.

Big Girl Sarah is pugsitting Sammy while his people are in Italy. I was a little apprehensive to play with Sam, because I am supposed to be Sarah's only Pug-love. Apparently, there are two of us. I guess I can share. Just don't get near Woman, Sam...

Soul Mates

The weekend with Pugsley and Junebug went well. Woman was impressed by how nice I was to the Pug visitors. I usually do not like to share my toys, I get aggressive when any Pug gets near my Woman (sorry Winston and Sela), and bite at other dogs if they try to get out the door ahead of me. Keep in mind that I'm a Pug, so "aggressive" means I whine a little bit in the other dog's direction, but still - Woman says it's rude.

I particularly like Pugsley. I'm pretty sure we're soul mates. I haven't had a real dog friend since Chewbear died. Woman is so excited that Pugsley and I are friends, as she was afraid I am an anti-social dog.

Pugsley and I did a lot of kissing to reaffirm our soulmate-itude for each other.

norman and pugsley are gay for each other

That's right. We licked each other. It's all good. Dogs lick to show affection. It's not like I LOVE LOVE Pugsley. I just regular love him.

maybe they're cleaning each other

Junebug wasn't convinced of this. She's disappointed to learn that she's actually the beard in their relationship.

Pugsley likes birdbath water. He says it tastes all birdy.

Pug tails!

We worked hard all weekend, so we had to rest hard too! LOL!

I'm glad Pugsley lives nearby, because I want to go visit him again really soon! Like, right now! Let's go Woman!!

K - I - S - S - I - N - G

Pugsley and Junebug are here, and they have been doing some naughty things. Look for yourself!

I was watchin' from under a chair. I don't wanna get implicated, but I do want to have a good view of the action.

You know they're not married yet, right?

It's Me! (with a finger up my bumhole)

Look! It's a photo of me! Not the People on vacation or Woman's garden, but me! Mr. Norman!

cute pug

The night before last we walked over to Lyn and Kris's house to return their chainsaw. (We had a bad storm that brought down a big tree limb that needed to be cut up.) We hung out there for a while, and I played with Paige and Claire - good times. Until ... I got my first prostate exam ... and it wasn't by Lyn (who is also my Vet), but by her 17 month old daughter, Claire! She stuck her finger right in my bumhole! LOL! Everyone laughed. Well, everyone except me. So here is some advice - don't stand with your bumhole facing a baby while she's have a diaper change!

And would someone please tell blogger that bumhole is not misspelled.

Pug Sittin'

Apparently Woman signed us up to pugsit Pugsley and Junebug this weekend. In case you're wondering, she didn't consult with Ian OR me before making this offer. Geesh. At least I'll finally get some new photos to share with you that are NOT from the Peoples' vacation and other fun-havings.
