Weekend in Lyon

Sorry for the long absence of posts.  The weather has been so nice so I've been busy with lots of outdoor activities.  I joined my mum and a friend in Lyon for the weekend.  Lot's of wonderful market food, as usual.

Dogs enjoying the cafe life.

Me at dinner.  I was giving the "tooth look" so I would get some food down my way!  Yep, it worked!

Of course, no trip is complete without a pic of me ridin the rails!

Peace out!

Fashion show from J'adore my Dog

These were posted on J'adore my dog's website of me being the ever cooperative fashion model.
This sweater fit but I couldn't get my head around this Japanese fashion phenomenon. Somehow it gives me the professorial look.

I thought this one with the muscle tee gave me the tough boy look! Maybe I should get it for my visit to Chi town.

I'm ready to hit the DJ circuit in the South Loop! DJ Raoul in da hoowls!!

The Struggle Continues

Louis is visiting for the weekend!

Louis hanging at my crib this weekend while his parents enjoy Barcelona!

Spring

The weather has been erratic with some rain every day so when there is a little sun break I've made the most of it.

House Party!

We had a little house party that resulted in pure exhaustion by all!

Since Happy was the honorary female, she got my favorite bed.

Chico preferred underneath the couch.

Istanbul

Last week the rents left me while they cruised around Istanbul. Pfft. At least I got to hang with my buddy Louis! Apparently, they didn't see one pug while there but they did see this dog food, Crunchy, with a pugs mug on it!

Young Pup!

I'm not sure if I posted these pics yet, but here are a couple of me as a young pup in Seattle. Good times.

I was thinking about age today as I found out my Flickr buddy, Stan the Man, passed away yesterday. My heart goes out to his parents, Defensor Fortis, and his dog siblings, Roy and Mabel. http://www.flickr.com/photos/defensorfortis/4554195577/

I'm going to miss you Stan.

Black Pug Bag!

I want to give a big Thank you to Louis for the awesome black pug bag! My mom loves it! The artist is Gemma Correll and she sells her stuff on Etsy.

J'adore Paris!

Last week I enjoyed spring in Paris! I took in some of the sights.

Road the Metro.

More sights.

Can you believe this off leash area?! How grand is that?

Got some lovin' from my dad.

Watched the Paris scene.

This guy has my name! I have no idea who he is though.

Guess he's famous as the square was named after him.

Love seeing all the cafe and shop dogs.

Went to a stylish and very dog friendly store called Merci!

This is in the coffee area of Merci. They let me sit on the couch, gave me some nice treats , AND my own water!

Fellow traveler in Gare de Lyon.

Pug puppy whose name was Angie.

Of course I saw a french bulldog puppy too!

This guy was very cool and we really hit it off.

Finally, we headed home and I got some much needed rest on the train home. The rents splurged so I got to ride first class this time. Woo Hoo!

Spring in Paris

Off to Paris via TGV train- I hope. Wish me luck. The French Trains are going on strike tonight so it's going to make for an interesting stay in Paris.

Easter Weekend

The weekend started out with a visit to my buddies Mighty and Maggie's house. I'm glad Mighty doesn't mistake me for one of his toys!

Mighty and his new ball.

Some dog park action as well. Check out this Chihuahua mix with what looks like a boston terrier. He was super cute! Louis thought so too!

Finally, I got to meet Norton the pug from Sweden. He's 7 months old and it looks like he's going to be a large one!

Norton getting some cuddling in from his human.

Me and Norton chill axin.

Spring sniff!

Oh, I'm off to Paris tomorrow but may have time to post before I leave for the week! Peace Everyone!
