Happy Halloween!

So far, Halloween is the best holiday ever! We went to a party last night and had a blast. There were a few big kids there and I loved watching them run around and seeing all the grown-ups in their costumes. I can't wait for next year when I get to have the yummy snacks that everyone else was having!

Today we went to Emma's pug Halloween party. She dressed as a dog catcher and won best homemade costume! There were about 10 other pugs there and they were all running around like crazy. Then we went to the park for a quick walk since it was so warm today (mom says it was around 70 degrees). Thankfully Emma and I had enough time to get a nap in before we go out for trick or treating. I can't wait to see all the spooky costumes and get candy!!!

First Halloween Party!

Yesterday, mom and I went to my friend Juliana's house for my very first Halloween party. As you can tell, there was a full house and all my friends were there! I loved dressing up with all my friends and playing with them. I think Tyler had the best costume (he killed with his lobster outfit!). Tonight, we're going to another party at dad's friend's house. Tomorrow, Emma has a Halloween party (she's going as a Dog Catcher to match my costume) and then we get to do something called 'trick or treating'. I don't know what it is, but mom seems excited about getting more Milky Ways. I'll definitely be posting my review of Halloween this weekend!

Messy Eater

I'm really getting into this whole solid food business. Mom and dad give me really yummy oatmeal twice a day and then throw in a super yummy fruit or veggie to help me grow my palate. Sometimes, mom even makes me some home cooked food that she purees in the food processor (this weekend she made me cranberry applesauce with ginger and it is soo good!). Tonight, I got to have some carrot, apple and parsnip puree with my oatmeal and I loved it. Then, since I was getting a bath anyway, mom gave me a maple teething biscuit for dessert. Mom likes that I smell like French Toast when I'm done eating it. I just love the taste. Watch this video for my honest review of maple teething biscuits!

Disappearing Act

When mom needs a break, I spend some time by myself just hanging out with my stuffed animals or playing with my toys. But I recently discovered something new: magic. Witness my first great illusion as I make myself disappear!

The Big Race

Since I am now soo grown up at 7 months old, I've decided to take up racing with Emma. Sure, she has 4 legs and all but I am now a crawling machine. I'm so glad this is another fun thing I get to do with my pug! I won't tell you how the first race ended, you'll just have to watch the clip. But let's just say we're going to try for the best 2 out of 3. See you at the finish line!

Snow in October?

I haven't seen mom this grumpy in a while (I think the last time was when I wasn't sleeping through the night). Today is the second day so far this season that we've had snow (the first was this past Friday morning). From what I can tell, mom hates snow and is really mad that we're getting it so early this season. I didn't think too much of it since I had my warm bear suit on when dad took me outside to investigate. Emma went with us, too, and I think she really liked that mom heated up her blanket in the dryer for her. Hopefully the snow ends soon and doesn't come back for a while. I need my mom to be un-cranky (I think dad needs it, too).

Lip Smacking Fun

My mom can be so funny sometimes. Her latest funny bit is when she smacks her lips loudly. For some reason I can't explain, it is hilarious! She should definitely go on the road with this act! It kills with me and my friends!

Emma is Soo Cool!

Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about my love for Emma. We have such a good time together and are such good friends. We roll around on the floor together and she helps keep my face drool-free. Plus, she's so soft and cuddly I just love to hang out with her. Everyone should have a pug!

Making A Break For It!

As much as I love to hang out with mom and dad, I'm ready to start breaking out and exploring the house on my own. Too bad they caught me trying to climb the step into the dining room. I didn't quite make it on the first try, but that's not going to stop me. Look out, world!!

Fall Fun

Sorry that this post is a little out of order, but I just had to write about the Pug Social first since it was soo exciting! On Friday, mom and I went to a real live pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkin. We went with 4 of mom's friends and their kids. There were so many big kids there, I felt so young! That night, we went to dinner at dad's friend's house. They have 2 boys and I had so much fun playing with them and watching them play, they can move around so well (it makes me a little jealous!).

On Saturday, we tried to go to a fair but the traffic made mom and dad a little too cranky so we ended up at Rockport instead. It was my first time there and I loved it. It was really crowded and everybody was enjoying the fall sun with warm cups of coffee and cider (though there were a few crazy people walking around with ice cream). Mom showed me some sea gulls swimming in the harbor and dad pushed me in my stroller while mom window shopped. We had such a good time and I was glad we were able to rest up for the Pug Social the next day. Mom and I took Emma to the park today, but it was an effort since everyone is still soo tired from our busy weekend!

Pug Love!

Today was the Pug Social and it was a blast! A little chilly, but so much fun! There were so many pugs there and Emma loved it. Her friends Norman, Vince, Doug-Doug, Henry, Marty and Ollie were there and I loved getting to meet them. There were about 100 pugs there and it was crazy! Some were in costumes, some were running in the fastest pug contests, and Emma even tried her paw at the obstacle course. And of course there were tons of treats for Emma to enjoy (I think she even gained a pound during the day!). After, we went to McDonald's so mom and dad could have some lunch. Emma and I slept the entire way home since we were so worn out from all the fun and excitement. I can't wait for next year's Pug Social!!

Laundry Fun

Since I'm so grown up these days, mom thought it was about time that I start helping around the house. Today, she had me help her with my laundry. I only helped fold since I can't reach the washer or soap just yet. But I also took a few minutes to goof around, just like any 6-month old should!

Happy October!

Can you believe how quickly this year is flying by?? It was sad, but we closed down the Vineyard house this weekend. No more weekend trips until next year. But mom says I'll be walking by then and maybe I can help Paige and Jessica look for hermit crabs when they visit next year! I can't wait! But back to this weekend. We hung out with Frank and Jodie and their dog, Jessie (Emma and Jessie are best friends and it was fun to watch them play together).

We also went to the Flying Horses Carousel one last time, but I didn't like it as much as I did the first time (if you listen closely you can hear me voicing my displeasure). Later on, we went to the beach with Emma and enjoyed the last bit of warm weather. Emma even went in the water! The next night, we went to dinner with our friends Mimi and Pat at the Black Dog Tavern, but I don't think they allow dogs there. I guess that's why Emma stayed home. It was a nice long weekend and I was so happy to have dad around the whole time since I miss him during the day. Oh, and I got my first little cold. Just a stuffy nose and a little cough but I think it's just about gone. I think it may have been brought on my my fourth tooth coming through. Can you believe I have 4 teeth?? Bring on the solid, chunky food!!
