I would like to remind everyone that it's almost my birthday, so don't forget me. Just because I haven't blogged in furever doesn't mean I don't deserved a present. March 27 - save the date!!
Hello Everyone! Remember me, Norman? Woman got a new computer that doesn't have Photoshop, so she's been slacking in the uploading photos to flickr department, and I've been slacking in the blogging department, because I have no photos to share! So, like all things, I blame Woman! Everything is going great with my new seester. I actually really really like her. We snuggle together, and I lick her ears - it's a great relationship. She is painfully cute, even I must admit! I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I will try to get Woman back on track this summer!
The People were gone for a pretty long time yesterday, and when they got home, they smelled like other dogs. Frenchies to be exact. Girl Frenchies. Woman then informed me that I was getting a seester! Can you believe it? A seester! I'm pretty stoked. She better not try to take my toys or snuggle my Woman, but I am excited to boss her around and steal her treats. Woo-hoo! Seesters are the best!
Apparently my seester's name is Miss Magic, and she is 4 years old. She is a retired "breeder", but that doesn't mean she's some sort of lady of the night. From what I hear, Frenchies can't do the deed on their own, so they are "inseminated" manually. Gross, I know. The People are going to pick her up next Wednesday after all the construction is finished.
Are you excited to meet her? I sure am! From what I smelled on Woman already, she's a pretty cool dog.
This year has started out just like the last year ended - with lots of snow on the ground! I have finally learned how to potty when there's this much snow. I just skirt the house where the roof has kept the snow from hitting the ground - never even get my feet wet! The problem with snow days is that I don't get to go for walks. I have to admit that I'm getting pretty stir crazy being in the house all day, but at least I don't have to work! How are you spending your snow days?
Ian made the stunning announcement in December that Woman was allowed to finally get a Frenchie. This shocked everyone involved, especially me. You can imagine how opposed I was to the idea of getting a Frenchie, and the fact that Ian didn't consult me before telling Woman the news made me like the idea even less. Woman was finally able to convince me that having a brudder around would be fantastic - just like having Pugsley around all the time. I slowly warmed up to the idea and finally accepted it.
So, Woman applied for a cute little 2-year old Frenchie named Elton through FBRN. She got a call from the foster Mom a week later explaining how she had never had so many applications for a dog in her experience as a foster, and that we were in the final running for getting Elton. Woman was very excited and had her hopes set pretty high on getting Elton.
Those hopes were dashed this morning when Woman received an email stating that we were not selected as Elton's forever home, and you can imagine Woman was devastated. I'm pretty sad too, but not nearly as sad as Woman. She thinks we were not chosen because I'm an old man dog, but I can assure you that I play like a puppy when hooties are involved.
If anyone has any advice on adopting a Frenchie, please share. Woman isn't sure she wants to go through this disappointment again, but would still be interested in hearing your thoughts.

I live in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, and I am an ornery little pugger. Although I am only awake about 3 hours each day, I work a whole lot of mischief into each and every minute.
