Follow the treat stick

Shelby understands what toys are hers, and which are not. Vin doesn't. In fact, he LOVES Shelby's toys. He's carrying her green treat stick in his hand. I think this series of photos shows how patient Shelby can be.

Paper fight!

We've had tissue paper on the windows due to a botched order from 3 Day Blinds. (Make that 3 Month Blinds.) We've been baking all summer, and the furniture is faded. Finally one of the blinds came in, and we took down one of the sheets of paper for pug and boy to have fun with. And in case anyone has trouble seeing the video, here's some photos. Paper

Happy Independence Day from Shelby "Not Guilty" pug

Shelby celebrates Independence Day as a free pug! Thanks to all voicehd for Shelby's character. Any defense that incorporates references to Johnny Cochrane AND The Fugitive is pretty creative. I think the only thing missing would be a haiku...or perhaps a limmerick.

Since fireworks don't bother Shelby much, especially if we are around, you'll be please to know that not only did Shelby not get hanged, but enjoyed her freedom by exploring the back yard.

Sniffing around

While we were hanging out in the back yard watching fireworks around the bay, Shelby was off in the dirt. I think she found something that smells interesting...

...and by "interesting" I mean "disgusting."

Meeting Charlie, and a Spaghetti Western hanging

This past weekend, the family joined some friends at a local park. This is where Shelby met Charlie pug.
It's too hot to cooperate
As it turns out, Charlie's people have been reading Shelby's blog, and they also have had a recent darling baby addition to the family. And of course, no one was cooperating for a photo shoot with my super slow iPhone camera. Oh well. It's just more proof that they are pugs through and through. At this park, there was a little Pioneer house where kids can sit on a saddle and work bellows, and get up close to a stage coach. We went inside partly out of curiousity, but mostly to cool off in the shade. It was easily 90 degrees outside! This weather is not fit for man nor pug!


Look what else they had inside Pioneer house.
A noose conveniently located at pug level.
Any last words Shelby?

 

Any last words?
What is she being accused of?

"Wanted in counties of this state
the condemned is found guilty of the crimes of murder, armed robbery,
of citizens, state banks, and post offices,
the theft of sacred objects, arson in a state prison.
perjury,..." ah you get the picture...


Surely she's being framed!

Leave a comment to defend Shelby from this injustice!

No pug left behind?

I work from home on Fridays, and stepped into the bedroom to have a conference call while Steven, Vin, and Shelby were playing in the playpen. When I got off the call, I returned to this scene. what are you doing in there?

Hi Shelby, did they forget about you?

sleeping it off

Oops, I guess I woke her up. She was snoozing away. Steven and Vin were taking a nap as well, in our bedroom. As it turned out, Steven had lifted the edge of the pen for Shelby to follow them, and she refused to budge.

So no, he did not forget about her. Apparently, she opted to stay in he playpen.

In other news, Vin decided to drink water like Shelby today.
