Lyonnaise food

Lyon is known for its pork and they didn't disappoint us!

Lyon, France

Last weekend we went to Lyon, France. I met this great old (9 years) Frenchie who I ran circles around because he got me so excited!

Spring/Printemps?!!??!

Sorry I haven't posted lately. The weather has been absolutely - She-ite! This is my first winter/spring in Geneva and it has been loooong. I might even have to say it is worse than Chicago. At least in Chi you get some wide temperature fluctuations with lots of sunny days. Geneva tends to be overcast and cold most of the time similar to Seattle but a lot colder.

Off to meet my friends!

Choco late

What a country! Only in Switzerland would one receive free gourmet chocolate in the mail! Too bad it's poisonuos to canines. If only they would send pig ears or beef bones in the mail. Ok, I'll settle for some dog biscuits. Yumm!!!!!

Peep. Peep.

My girl, Sky, at the Furry Beastro sent me a lovely little plush chick. When I'm not busy sleeping, I like to play with it!

My Aunt Holly, aka "the smuggler", is leaving today. I hope she visits again with more treats!!!!

Manna from Chicago!!!!

Three pounds of Furry Beastro treats from Chicago!!!! My mule really came through for me with this delivery!

Maison Markel and Trobough

After pounding the pavement in Paris, I headed back to the lovely flat of Johanna and Kris where I enjoyed some serious napping.

Luxembourg Gardens

Another favorite jaunt was to Luxembourg Gardens. Even though I was forbidden in this area of the park, my friend Johanna was able to capture my essence in this shot.

Dauphine triangle park

My park away from home became the traingle area Dauphine which is located on the Ile de la Cite. Everyday I crossed the Seine via the Pont Neuf to check and send my p-mails.

Parisien Life

Well I'm sorry I haven't posted lately but I've been enjoying the city life in Paris! The women just adore me there! Besides saying hello with "coucou" I was told I was "magnifique" numerous times. Oo la la, my head feels very big after this trip!

Can I please have a bone!!!!!

My head is so heavy!

Off Leash Areas

Why don't we have more offleash areas for dogs and their owners? If we dogs have become "full" members in the homo sapien family, why are we treated like second class citizens when it comes to areas with green grass? I'm in Switzerland now and you wouldn't believe the number of signs posted on grassy areas forbidding the chien (dog). Since I'm not really a full member of Swiss society, I don't think I can change things here, but for you pupsters in the US of A check out this link for information on how to start new offleash areas in your hood. http://www.dogplay.com/Activities/dogparkl.html#start

J'aime l'os du jambon!!!

It's my birthday today so I celebrated with a large smoked ham bone!! Mmmm. Mmm. After this I celebrated with a nice nap.

I may be part greyhound!!!!

The Birds

Yesterday's walk was filled with different bird sightings. It started out with these swans then we intercepted some kind of hawk with its prey. I was just happy the large hawk already had its lunch otherwise I could be in trouble!

Out of Bounds!!!

Once I was free of the doggy offleash area, I couldn't help but do the "low ride"!! The "clean" grass and fresh air was just too much!!

In this last picture I look like a Frenchie!!!

Beautiful Day in the Park!!

Well, I started out in the official offleash park and ran into this large beauty of a dog!

Who needs dog beds?!

Although I have numerous dog beds, I much prefer a kitchen chair pad!

Bling!!

I didn't have enough bling bling so my mom hooked me up with this nice bone and dog dish tag! It turns out they have a distributor in Switzerland but my tag was sent all the way from Australia. The other funny note was their north American branch is located in a burb outside of Seattle, my birth place. The world is just so small.

Coq au vin!!!!

Mmmm. I can't wait until this coq au vin is done! As you can see, I'm sitting all pretty and patient.

New Coat!!

Although I hate all my coats and sweaters, this one feels a little better than most and the girls love it! Oo la la!

Responses to my p-mail!!

Boy, I was busy answering all my p-mail yesterday. Lot's of new responses. Ruff! Ruff!

Seattle Buds!

Bob, is hanging with my pug brother, Marco and good friend Lulu (the boston).

Morning Jaunt

I'm working on my new year's resolution in which I will become an even more svelt pug dog! So, here are some of my recent workouts!














I'm really working on my cardio now!

My Buds in Chi Town

Here I am with my "girl" Naya in the top picture and the crazy pug on the left is wildman Bo!

Travels in Chicago

When I returned back to America, I had to stay in this bag while I rode the "El". Geez. I come back to America and no more freedom!

Another favorite spot for naps!!!

Down pillows are the best

Oh, this feels so good.

Excerpts from my dossier

This is my Swiss passport and passport photo. With this I can travel throughout Europe, everywhere except the UK. As far as the UK is concerned, I'm in quarantine for two more months to make sure I'm not rabid. Then, I'm going to Trafalgar Square to wet the base of Lord Nelson's monument!
