BTW - in searching for Baby Benny’s Pugkin Bread Recipe (Friday, Oct. 3, 2008) to print off, I came across a treasure….Friday, June 12, 2009…Pugkin Bread Pupcakes which shows a montage of Sol and her interest in the Pupcakes. It is the smile factor times 1,000.
Pug hugs &
Huckle chuckles
Look!!! The Kibble Fairy was here!!
Mom…..when did we get a bunny?
Go have a seat and relax mom. We’ll get this floor spit polished in no time!
Deer Poo’s [or number two’s] - commonly known in South Africa as ‘bok drolle’ - they have ‘bok droll’ spitting competitions to see how far you can spit out the ‘droll’ yeach!!
Another S A Expression we use for Kibbles are ‘dry rats’ as in Dry Rations - Suster, Tai-Tai and Miz Ziller all take a whole mouthful and reture to their pillows in front of the the fire where they eat their ‘dry rats’ in comfort!! Spoilt little b*ggers!!
The picture is similar to the daily one in the kitchen or the veranda [when bowls get knocked over] the veranda floor is slate and there are holes in the joinery where the little b*gger have dug out searching for a lost dry rat!! We tell them to stop as we assure them they wouldn’t like living down-under in Oz
Pug hugs as always
Grannygoogs
Boy, did we hit the jackpot or what!!!

Tammy you win the quote of the day!
Just revisited the June 12, 2009 blog of Solsey baby going after the pugkin pupcakes. Oh how I wish that baby was still around…yet, always in our hearts.
Uh Mom….the puggie fairy made the mess…we are cleaning it UP for you. We are really thougthful puggies!!!
Great comments looks like the three are busy helping mom clean up thats so sweet of them thanks for the smile and Grannygoogs I love your stories to
The Kibble Game!!!!! I play this with my three puggies all the time! I throw the kibble out there and they scurry around and find every single one. Funny thing is maybe a week or so later, one pug will be pawing diligently at the base of the couch. I’ll lift the couch and sure enough, a kibble has been discovered!!! Never underestimate the power of a pug nose!!!
Teresa allen - ha ha I love your comment! My hands have been “spit polished” many times, along with all the furniture in the house, floors, pillows, etc. etc.!
Kibble Patrol, at your service, Mom:-)
Tammy, That is a PERFECT comment!!!!!
The archive page wasn’t loading for me, but in putting in a search for the tag of “Sol” that narrowed it down pretty well, and then I found those pages pretty easily. I’ve been making pumpkin things here and there, gonna have to try the pugkin bread one of these days, but where do you buy buckwheat flour? Not sure I ever recall seeing it?
“Every once in awhile, Mom goes crazy! Don’t know why, but we LOVE it!”
SO late today…and don’t even have a moment to digest any comments yet…When I can breathe later tonight, I must rad all the fun…Pug Love!
1,2,3,4…can’t count, must eat…
Tammy, I’m cracking up cuz soon as I saw the page I thought “Wabbit”! All comments are great, I have nothing to add! You all are too good!
That was the first thing that came to mind, I used to have a long haired English Angora rabbit and my kitchen floor looked like that a few times. : )
You kids are hilarious with your remarks today. It’s interesting to see the different spins everyone puts on the same photo.
Anyone want a 6 month old Boxer? I know where one is - cheap. In fact, I could be persuaded to PAY someone to take him. No, I’m not kidding.
Pug grumbles &
Huckle rumbles
Huckle, what in the world is going on with Cooper2 now?
also re: rabbit turds, thanks Tammy:-) , I am housesitting for my mom, along with her dog and the other little dog that belongs to mom’s friend, and every time I let them out into the fenced back yard today, all I can think of when they go scavenging along the fence line where the grass is longer is that they are pigging out at the “rabbit turd buffet”. Now that this has dawned on me, they are not going to have free reign in the back yard again, because we certainly do not need any friends living in their poopsies.
<Cue music from “OLIVER”> Food, glorious Food…..
Hi Huckle - post Sooper Cooper to me!! always room for him and am sure my two B Bitches would sort him out one time!! Have you tried Rescue Remedy yet? It really works
Pug hugs
Grannygoogs
GG - got Rescue Remedy ordered on Monday. I’m crossing my fingers. I think Sooper, Pooper Cooper’s “just bad to the bone”! His one redeeming feature seems to be his relationship with Gracie - who he adores. He has ripped to shreds all six of our patio furniture cushions since last week, completely ruined the carpet (in three rooms)- can’t be put in his crate for misdemeanors because he HOWLS the whole time (even leaving the house doesn’t work, you can hear him howling down the street). Yesterday while I was on the computer he got one of my husband’s shoes (he wasn’t in them), ripped the lining out before I saw him and got them away from him. While I was taking care of that, he ripped the ‘piddle papers’ to shreds and as I was cleaning THAT up, he grabbed to hard boiled eggs off of the back of the kitchen counter and ate those without even peeling them. There was more, much more (including his work on the overstuffed chair) but you get the idea. What really ticks me off is that I had just been outside with him playing football and had walked him around the block. Every day he seems to get a little (ok - a lot) worse and I am stumped. Ideas? That Rescue Remedy can’t get here soon enough.
Huckle is no longer chuckling
Oh my poor ‘non=chuckling Huckle’ - I know the answer is not spanking BUT I have used a rolled up newspaper and whacked on the bum while showing the culprit the chewed item and saying in my sternest voice BAD DOG!!!!! This done repeatedly does work.
How many of his ‘own’ toys does he have? I think he might be suffering from a combination of boredom, just plain naughtiness [perhaps Behaviour School?]
I used to listen to a programme on Radio with a Vet answering questions, she maintained a lot of naughtiness was an “attention getting ploy” - she always suggested more food [in fact Oki and I used to laugh as it seemed that more food was her standard prescription] maybe try that.
Go onto support@veterinarysecretsrevealed.com and ask Dr Andrew Jones - he seems to specialise is Pet Psychiatry and he certainly makes a lot of sense to me at times.
Another - see if there is a Boxer Web Site - perhaps you can get help there.
If the rescue doesn’t work on Cooper - use it yourself and give lots to your shoeless husband!!
Keep me updated
Pug [and human] hugs
Grannygoogs
Huckle - PS - as an old hippy - there is nothing to beat ‘herb cookies’ - after all it’s a natural herb and rather a ‘stoned’ dog than you going up the wall…. again it works both ways eg: humans too. Years ago in my youth, we used to make them - me legally as I was on it as I was having Chemotherapy and it was prescribed to stop the extreme nausea, didn’t enjoy smoking, so made biscuits. I had a Basset Hound called Hugh and he stole one….. he was stoned for days, just sat around with his eyes more droopy than usual with a big grin on his face. I called my vet, who thought it was a huge joke and he told me he would come to no harm. I have also seen my dogs rushing past a bush [it literally does grow wild up here and I am for ever pulling it out and burning it!!!! much to someone’s disgust!!] and grabbing a leaf and chewing on it.. no side effects
Just joking [not really]
Pug hugs
Grannygoogs
LOL!!!Love the bunny comment-and GrannyGoogs, Dry Rats! In Texas, they have roaches bigger than the kibbles-and YES I THANK GOD I AM NOT THERE!!!Hope all have a great day-Pug-hugs from the Colorado 5
Huckle, I am sorry that your chuckle buckled…Sounds like you need to call the Dog Whisperer or the girl from It’s Me Or the Dog! I really feel for you but as a less than stellar dog-trainer, I’m not able to offer any advice! Sorry :-(
Grannygoogs - I don’t suppose you have any of those wonderful brownies, do you. (Guess that would make you a drug pusher - opps) a trippin’ Hugh, how funny (as long as it didn’t hurt him). I might use the brownies on myself instead.
I did discover today that Cooper2 has tapeworms! The vet assistant told me there are only two ways he could get them…fleas (he’s on Frontline plus) or wild rabbits. Guess what are backyard is full of…! So I got two pills at $10 each. Good thing I don’t have to give it to the rabbits. So far today, Cooper’s been very good (at least for him). The calm before the storm?
He did manage to get the hot dog buns off of the counter but that’s about all - other than the potty issue.
I have left the patio door open so he could come and go (as well as the flies) and I wonder if that is a clue?
He does jump on me (like a swimmer doing laps - the push off) but I never see it until too late. I can’t even get my knee up to check him.
As soon as I get his passport, Grannygoogs, he’s yours. I don’t think I’m kidding.
Sorry for the length of this - keyboard diarrhea again!
For some reason that noise from Pac Man is going through my head…wacka wacka wacka.
Huckle, are you saying Cooper2 has found the Rabbit Turd Buffet as Abby’s minion’s Tessa and Heidi have this week? Those little minions, just don’t understand why I won’t let them have their playtime out in the backyard now, as I had been! So far, nobody is having poop symptoms, or anything suspicious looking, lets hope it stays that way!
Pug Mama - it’s not the rabbit turds that are the cause, it’s the rabbits - eating them (probably the babies! If you think there’s a chance of a similar outcome for you, I guess you need to be vigilant in examining ‘you-know-what’ (Oh yeach!)
GG - I’m waiting for my ‘bush’ to get through customs…
Pug hugs &
a half-wit Huckle chuckle
Ah - I see a bit of humour back!! Huckle that’s an improvement!!
Been on the net and looked at some of the Boxer sites… They all seem to give advice
http://www.blueridgeboxerrescue.com/
http://www.rockinprescue.org/

Meanwhile - I’ll start getting the dog house ready…. oh - and are we air freighting him or sending him by ship??
Pug hugs
Grannygoogs
huckle:-( Ohhhh, real rabbits. I guess the rabbits here are a tad smarter, cuz they stay out of the yard when the dogs are out. But they do leave behind a delightful assortment of exotic “chocolate” chips for every doggy’s pleasure. *tongue in cheek* The two little dogs I am dogsitting for, naughty to no end, harass the cats, being a thorn in poor Abby’s side, eating the rabbit’s droppings, whining as if they are 8 wk old puppies just separated from their mommies. 9 more days, 9 more days, 9 more days, and then Abby and I go back to the peace and quiet of our apartment life.
Grannygoogs…1st Class, of course. I’m starting a ‘collection kitty, er..collection puggy, so all you guys are welcome to fill it up…soon!
Meant to tell you I do get emails from Dr. Jones, so that is a good idea and I’ll go look at those Boxer sites. Thank you,
Pug mama, I feel your pain. Tessa and Heidi sound like two more Cooper2s-in-training. Sorry to have to tell you that, but the signs are there. At least you get to send them home - eventually.
Pug hugs &
Huckle semi-chuckles
Oh, and by the way I spoke too soon about Cooper’s “good behavior” for the day. Patio solar lights…..gone!
“Who Let The Dogs Out”
Hi Huckle [Chuckles or Grumbles today??] Just a quick note to find out if you are still around or have you committed yourself to the looneybin yet?? I was thinking over the weekend that maybe its time that you showed Sooper Cooper Pooper who IS THE BOSS - used the rolled up newspaper and whack him on the butt - every time he is naughty or destructive! It doesn’t hurt them but a combination of a VERY stern voice saying NO!!! and the noise of the whack should have some impact on him.
Keeping hanging in there!!
Pug hugs
Grannygoogs
Well, why wasn’t this food put in a dish, for heaven’s sakes? I s-u-p-p-o-s-e we will just have to clean this mess up 
OMG, I just got a chuckle out of you GrannyGoogs. Your line about Super Dooper Pooper Cooper got to me because that is what we call our sweet little Cooper sometimes when he has been anything but perfect. Yes, I must admit, he has his moments. Thanks for the giggle! Did she commit herself yet? Just curious?
Elizabeth and Cooer in NY~;)
My Comment:
Gee, look you Guys, someone spilled a bag of MALT BALLS.! These things are delicious. Lets eat them all up. Yum Yum Yum!!!
Elizabeth and MiniCooper in NY~
So many comments! GrannyGoogs-I’m an old hippie, too, and just laughed my head off (Please return if found)at all these comments! Huckle, see if your vet can prescribe medical marijuana for cooper 2, that’s got to be better than patio lights! Glad you’d send Cooper 2 first class! Pug-hugs and chuckles from the Colorado 5
Grannygoogs…
...What’s the holdup? You get the “dog” when I get my “bush”.
The rolled newspaper doesn’t seem to faze him so I’m thinking, maybe I ought to use it on my daughter-in-law who was responsible for this in the first place.
Aside from that silliness, I am getting worried. It’s 10 a.m. here and there has been no Daily pic from Corrine and you know how punctual she is every weekday about 7 a.m. Perhaps her computer is on the fritz. Anyone know anything?
Huckle, did the Rescue Remedy arrive yet?
Sue VDB - no! And I’m going to need a gallon of it by the time it gets here. Maybe the postperson made off with it? It will be really interesting to see if it does work - then Cooper2 can be their spokesdog.
Huckle, for whom? You or Cooper?
Sue VDB - guess… By the time it arrives, Abby may be needing a dose of it herself…either that or some Jello shots. It is very funny to see her come place herself in front of Cooper if he is near me and even funnier to see him let her. The look on HIS face is one of terror as he backs away.
Huckle, I got my blog today. I did have the same problem one day last week. I finally just typed in ownedbypugs.com in my browser.
Huckle - posting the bush seeds [aka] white pepper corn seed…...... end me an address
Hang in there
Pug hugs
Huckle, I thought my household was hectic, but oh my, compared to yours, it is like a piece of cake.
Ps - Huckle - I would definitely beat up my daughter-in-law if I were you. Ding-Dong - Post Sooper Pooper Cooper to her!! It’ll be a last reminder that you never buy pets for anyone but yourself!!!!
Sue S - am looking for your head - will let you know if I see it ‘zooming around’
Pug hugs
Grannygoogs
GG - you are so funny! 
Thanks Granny Googs! P.S.if you happen to see my mind-please forward that too! Some days I feel like I have lost both!!!Puppy up-date: Solsie & Proto are doing better with their potty training-still get some turdles (Pronounced Turtles)in the house, but not as often. Pug-hugs to all from the Colorado 5-P.S. Granny Googs you are truly delightful!!
Thanks Huckle & Sue S - we sure do have a lot of fun and repartee on OBP - Hope Corrine doesn’t mind
Pug hugs
Grannygoogs
PS: Sue S - of all the things I have lost - it’s my mind I miss the most!!
PPS: Huckle - how is Sooper Dooper Pooper Scooper Cooper doing - has the Rescue Remedy arrived yet??
