Trash

I’m learning that Brutus will stand in the pantry and bark at the trash can if I leave the pantry door open.

Puggy poop

I came home from work today and immediately let the dogs out to take care of nature’s business. Brutus had to pee, but Buddy didn’t do anything. It turns out that Buddy pooped on the floor while I was at work.  We’ll go for a walk a little later and make sure they fully relieve themselves.

They both kept looking at me like I had forgotten something. So I gave them each a scoop of food, which has been promptly ignored. But they kept following me, acting like I had neglected to do something. So we went back outside and ran around the yard some. When we came back in, they both did nothing but nibble at the kibble—nothing substantial. Maybe it’s just too early. I’m home from work way earlier than Paul and Beth come home. I just happened to have an afternoon off because of a doctor’s appointment.  I bet they’ll eat if we go visit the chicken lady.

When I came home, I gave each of the bunnies a yogurt treat. I’ll feed them momentarily.

As I started typing this, Brutus started whining at the back door. I thought he just wanted to bark at Fluffy next door. It turns out he had to poop too. Not to be outdone by Brutus, Buddy decided he had to poop too. After the first piece dropped down, he spun around to see what had just happened before dropping the next one.

We’ll get this figured out.

First morning

I woke up at 4:30 with kisses from Buddy. This is going to be a fun two weeks.

These pictures are from last night.

Warming up

When I started spending time with the pugs, I was a little worried about Brutus. He’s Beth’s dog. Brutus never had time for me.  Buddy, on the other hand, is an attention whore, and we get along just great.

Tonight, Brutus started to show me some love.

Pugsitter

Dear Beth,

Your pugsitter has arrived. Brutus has warmed up to me finally. As soon as I walked in the door, they greeted me warmly.  I got all kinds of love.

Love,

Mike

Pug Patrol

It won’t be too long before I start Pug Patrol. I’m pretty excited about this. As you can probably tell, I’ve grown rather attached to Buddy and Brutus. I thought this would be a good way for me to keep the parents informed that all four animals are doing fine. I’m not worried about the bunnies. They’re fairly low maintenance. It’s the pugs that are going to be more work.

remiss

I’ve been remiss posting here ... the guys are totally fine

Either way, I wanted to post that I’m handing the blog over to our pal Mike for a couple of weeks. Diosa is in England, and I’m going over there too for two weeks. Mike will be looking after both the guys and the buns while we’re gone, and we’re hugely greatfull to him for it!

Over to you Mike
