Last of 2008!

Winter light on Raoul.

Unfortunately, this picture does not reflect the horrendous weather outside right now. Rain/Snow making for a very slushy environment.

Anyway, 2008 was a fine year with a few ups and downs. I'm looking forward to many more pig ears, parma bones, home cookin', blogging friends, and lots of travel (as always). What I hope to not have in 2009 is anymore cancerous mast cell tumors. Here's to a new healthy year full of lots of friends and food!!!!!

Peace out!

Wordless Monday

Waiting for the ear.

Waiting for the glorious pig ear after the humiliation of the santa hat!

My Camouflage Debut!

Camouflage Pug

Yes, "the woman", has gone out and bought yet another dog sweater!!! I have to admit though, I look pretty macho in this one. Even my eyes are in camouflage!

Zurich and baby Alva!

One of my favorite "little people" recently moved to Zug so we had to visit last weekend. As you can see from the picture above, I was giving her the all knowing pug look that says "you want to give me your food!". And she quickly complied with my wishes.



The next day we headed into Zurich and we met Siggy. Siggy is 11 years old and has some spinal issues. Therefore, he doesn't quite pick his front legs up enough and has to wear the booties to protect his legs.

Elmore and Steven from London.

So my parents left me in Geneva while they had a high old time in London town! It turns out they missed me and managed to meet a couple black pugs while they were there. This first guy is Elmore who was found on the streets and brought into a lovely family. They think he is around 12 years old.



The last photo is Steven. He's only 8 months old and lives in the Covent Garden/Holburn area. Not too shabby of an area for a pug! Thankfully, my parents did not bring any new dogs home so I'm quite happy to post pictures of these two!

Peace out!
