Jesse goes camping

I love to go camping. Can you find me in this picture?

Here I am doing my morning yoga stretches.

Take you driving in my car

When my mum was in New York City recently, she picked up this cool pink convertible bed for me. Note the leopard print and headlights. The bed was so big, mum had to buy a new suitcase to bring it home! I love to sit in the sun and sleep.

Feeling festive

Merry Christmas...















and a Happy New Year to pugs, and the humans that love them, everywhere.

Another dog's day out

Leichhardt Council SUCKS, and this year's Dog's Day Out was rubbish. Still, I went along. Ho hum.

Pick the pug

Here I am with three of my friends. Pick the pug!

Squishy-faced pug

My face looks so squishy when I sleep.

Silly billy

This used to be a black ball.















Until I got my teeth into it.

















Pretty funny stuff.

Straight to the top

I've climbed to the top of the stairs and now I can't get down.
















I think I'll do some doga. This is the dog stretch position.
















OK, I'm done, come and get me down from here.

Wake up, o world

I'd really like to get some sleep, but this kid keeps distracting me.

It's OK, I'm happy to share my couch.

Happy 2nd Birthday to me!

Today is my 2nd birthday!

Happy birthday to me and my fellow party pugs!

Bone lickin' good

It's been ages since I had a bone as good as this.





















YUMMO!

Don't mind me

Don't mind me - I'm just licking the back of your head.

Spontaneous hail storm

Yesterday afternoon was terrifying. There was a hail storm in Sydney.
It looked like it had snowed.

It sounded like there was a riot on the roof. I ran and hid - I was nowhere to be found.

Sleeping with Doggy

This is Doggy, he is my little friend. Sometimes I take him to bed.

Commandeering the coach

Even though I have about five beds around the house, I often commandeer the couch.
















Hey, it's comfy up here!

I'm back!

Greetings all! Thank you so much for all of your emails. Sorry I haven't written in so long. I've been busy and have neglected my pug blog (plog). But I'm back with lots to tell!

Yesterday was our monthly pug meet-up and this is what happened:

I stared at newcomer Darcy.
















We both stared at mummy.
















I played chasings with Darcy.
















It was fun! Here's a picture of the group (which was about a third of its regular size because of the inclement weather):
















And here's a picture of me leading the pack!

My friend Bindi

Bindi is my staffie friend.






















We like to play together.
















We like to share a quiet moment together.
















I love this photo (below). Look at my face. Look at Bindi's face. Look at where my right foot is!

Podcasting pug

On Sunday night, I joined Australian tech journalists Roulla Yiacoumi, Angus Kidman and Nathan Taylor to record the first episode of BRAN (http://www.bran.com.au/).

I think I may well be the world's first podcasting pug.





















When are the others going to stop talking so I can get a word in?

What am I supposed to do with i-Dog?

There's a beeping new creature in the house. His name is i-Dog.
















I don't know what I'm expected to do with him. He makes strange noises and flashes different colours.





















We could just sit here staring at each other. Boring!

















Only one thing left to do - destroy!

Munch, munch

If you ever need to get me out of the way, just give me a bone, and I'm good.

For a little while, anyway.

I love the sun

I spend all day moving around to follow the sun. I love sleeping in the warmth. In winter, there's less sun, so I have to be quick.

Sitting pretty

This is me on my deck chair. Sitting pretty.

Frolicking fun

I don't like water, so I don't know how Aunty Dora got me to go in this pool. *And* she got a photo of me with my tongue sticking out!

Kisses for Barry

Barry is the biggest dog I have ever seen. He is a Saint Bernard and is the size of a pony. Yesterday at our monthly pug meet-up he sat down so a friend and I gave him lots of kisses. That's me with the rainbow collar.

Breaking mummy's back

This is a picture of me relaxing on mummy's back. The photo was taken on a mobile phone, but don't ask which one. I have no idea.

ET

ET, phone home.

Front and back

This is the front of my head.

















This is the back.

Sporty pug

Under the stairs, there's a Swiss ball and a mini trampoline.

Somehow, I can squeeze into the small gap in between.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm sick of mummy going away on conferences. I'm staying on this bag until she promises to never leave again.

Cut!

This is my director's chair. Sometimes I sit on it.

Sometimes I sit next to it.

Snug as a pug in a rug

I love to snuggle under a blanket on my bed!

Watcha doing?

I'm at the park. Drop on by.

How I get to sit on mummy's lap

Whenever mummy is working at the computer and I want to sit on her lap, this is what I do. First, I sit next to her staring up with my big adorable eyes.
















When that doesn't work, I jump up on my back legs and give mummy my sad little face. "Please, please, pick me up mummy so that I can sit in your lap!"
















But mummy can't really type when she's holding me, so she found this director's chair for me and placed it next to her chair.
















Cool, I can sleep like a baby up here.

At the local

One grey day, I went to the park. Mummy tooks these shots on a Nikon camera she was testing. I got to see my first double rainbow!

Big head

Mummy loves taking these photos that make my head look really big.

Me and my steak

I love my toy steak. I've had it for ages and never really got into it. Then I rediscovered it one day and chewed it non-stop until I wrecked the squeaky thing inside. Still like playing with it, though.

I'm just a little dog

I sometimes forget that I'm just a little dog. I have some very big friends!

Come one, come all

After an article about our monthly pug meet-up appeared in Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper, we had in an influx of new pugs at our most recent gathering in early February. Almost 30 pugs came along to join the madness.
















I spent a lot of time jumping on this guy. He was very good-natured about it all, really.

















I also had a bit of a play with Quincy, a four-month old black pug.
















But the biggest hit of the day was Louis, a 7-week old pug. Everyone wanted to get their hands on the baby!

Year of the Dog

Over the weekend, mummy and daddy had a big Chinese New Year party.
This year is the Year of the Dog, so really it was a party for me!
















This is me in my little Chinese New Year outfit made for me by yiayia (grandma) but it's a bit big. Some adjustments will be necessary.






















I later switched into my security uniform to stop riff-raff from entering the premises.

Happy New Year

A happy new year to all pugs and their owners.

May the pug angel look over you all.
