Suisse and their Muzzles!!!



Well, the Suisse are true to their stereotype! They are implementing an obligatory muzzle required law for all dogs in basically all the parks in Geneva (where I live!). What's a pug to do? No more grass for me?! This is absurd! I'm preparing my protest signs now! Do they even make a muzzle for a pug?!

My morning walk.


A beautiful day in Geneva! I'm hoping it will be nice this weekend as I'm headed to Paris for some culture and excitement!

My good friend, Snoopy!

Snoop dog was an excellent host! He gave me his bed, toys, treats, and humans to enjoy! It felt so much like home, I got carried away and was going all cujo on him when he tried to get attention from his humans. Oops! :)

Peace out!

Vacation!

I'm off to chez Snoopy for a week so I'll post on my return. The rents are off to "Hotlanta" and thankfully won't be taking me along.

Ciao!

Chilled out Labs

As you often see in France, these labs were the "house" dogs just chillin' on their street.

Gargoyle?!



My gargoyle imitation from the hotel room!

Lyon: Gastronomic Feast!

Lyon, as usual, was filled with the most heavenly smells and sights! So much pork and meat around I was constantly drooling the entire weekend. In this photo, I can't even look at thos rotisserie chickens!

No Muzzles Required!


Well, I'm headed to Lyon, France today for a long relaxing muzzle free weekend! Being a rebel is really wearing me out so, I'm headed over to France for some much needed fun without all these rules that abound in Switzerland! I've heard rumor of protests in Geneva regarding this new regulation on muzzles but hopefully, I will be back in time to participate.

Peace out!

Muzzle supplies!

Well, apparently for those law abiding swiss citizens who have rushed out to purchase a muzzle for their dogs, Geneva has run out!!!! I'm not sure who purchased the muzzles as I did not see one dog with a muzzle yesterday and I was definitely in the parks. Also, they have included the walkway around the lake as a park. Where do they expect us to play and be dogs?!

Geneva Muzzles All 30,000 of its Dogs!!!


I awoke to the following headlines today in Geneva, Switzerland (my current home): 30, 000 Dogs Muzzled, All the Dogs Muzzled, and All Dogs Muzzled in the Parks! Apparently, a pit bull who was being walked by a 15 year old girl attacked a young child in one of the parks. Now, a temporary measure has been instituted that requires all dogs in any park in Geneva to wear a muzzle. Well, as you can see by my magnificent profile, I don't have one! As they say on the Grey Album, "I've got 99 problems but a muzzle aint one!" Check out my photo documentation of blatant disregard for the law!! Peace Out!! Yo, Bay-B! Yo!

Going Home!

I'm back in Geneva! It was a long flight but the people from KLM treated me like a king! They were the first to ask if I needed any water or if they could get me anything! Now that's service!

My mom was really worried about my weight being over the 4.5 kilos. However, I layed on the charm and I breezed by without a weigh-in!

Exhaustion!

Being in Alaska with all those wolf mixes really got me back to my roots. Here I am sleeping like a "common dog" on the floor (who needs those soft plush dog beds!)

Another Friend!

I'm not sure what they put in the water here, but this old girl is named puppies.

My new friend!


This is a picture of my friend Cliquot (pronounced Klee-Ko). Let's just say no one messed around with me that weekend!

Check out those icebergs!!!!
A bit of a fierce wind that day!
I'm sure I'm the first pug to ever step foot in this area so I had to leave my mark for all that follow!

First Propeller Ride!

Man, this trip to Alaska has been crazy! First they set me up in this small noisy plane they keep calling the Beaver. The next thing I know we are up in the air and the noise just made me shake and pant. What happen to those Boeing 757's that I've grown accustomed to?! Geez!

Travel

True to my blog's name, I'm busy travelling so my posts won't be as frequent. I'm currently in South Dakota visiting the grandparents but will head back to Chicago later today. Tomorrow I will start my Alaskan Expedition. I'll be in the wilds of the Wrangell St. Elias National Park for a month and probably won't be able to post much. I've been really working out for this trip. Watch out bears, eagles, coyotes, foxes, owls, and mooses cos I'm headed to the wilderness!!!!! Aroooooooo.

Good Friends!
















I've been hanging with my good friend Bo (in the background and bottom photo). He just understands me so well. You know, sleep, eat, play, eat, play, eat, eat, etc.

Nightfall in the Park


My good bud Bo (red harness) and I hung out for some evening frolicking in Grant Park.

Chicago!!!!


Well, I made it across the pond. The flight attendants at Swiss Air were not the friendly sort so it was a long ride.

Anyway, I'm enjoying Grant Park once again.

No Internet Connection!!

Sorry I haven't posted, but I still do not have phone service or internet at my new home! We are getting the run around from Swisscom. One would think that Switzerland is super efficient but this is not the case! Anyway, I'm headed across the pond back to the USA so I'll post from there! Stay tuned. I have many adventures planned for the summer-Alaska expedition travel, Chicago Pug Marches, South Dakota rallies, and North Carolina Blue Grass Festivals!

I'm at my lean fighting weight (7 kilos) ready for my weigh in at Swiss Air!!! Until June 15, cheers!!!

Moving!

Sorry I won't be able to post for a few days. We are moving and the internet switch over won't be seamless.

Yeee Haaa!!!!

My humans keep talking about some new apartment and how much I'm going to like it! All I know is they kept piling these champagne bottles up around me! I've also noticed some rather odd things popping up around the flat (boxes, suitcases, shredded paper, etc). So far, my beds and toys have remained in the same location. I'm keeping a close watch on things and I'll keep ya posted.

I'm Famous!

Ok, it's not my last name but check out this cool furniture store in Lyon, France with my name which is even spelled correctly!
Please! I need my beauty sleep.

Hidden meaning in "pugs"


pugs love mey bras
Originally uploaded by pilarkitty.
This photo was taken from pilarkitty flickr site and she states that the plural of "pug" in german means "boobs" so the add is saying that pugs love mey bras, and that breasts love them as well.

Wild Adventure Expeditions!

I'm headed off to the wilds of the Wrangell St. Elias National Park in Alaska in late June so I'm training hard these days. Here you can see I'm preparing my paws for those icy glacial streams I'll be crossing. This endurance training is tough, but I think I'll be ready for those coyotes, bald eagles, moose, and wild bears (oh my!). Did I mention the rivers will be full of copper river salmon?! Yum!

Next I'll be working on my mountaineering skills and going over glacier safety and procedures! Alaska, here I come!!!
