Hello! We’ve been having issues with our internet lately and it crapped out again this afternoon, so instead of getting frustrated and waiting for it to come back up, I used the “downtime” to take Murphy to the dog park. He was also sort of driving me crazy, so I figured letting him get out [...]

Pug Peanut Butter Time

April 5, 2012

I welcomed hemp milk back into my diet this morning. I love it—it’s so tasty and nutritious—but, man, it’s expensive. Whole Foods had a coupon for it last week, so I splurged a bought a carton of it. Breakfast This morning’s breakfast was “Oatmeal” Minus the Oats made with hemp milk instead of almond milk. [...]

Umm, yum. I made Pumpkin Protein Pancakes for breakfast this morning, and they totally rocked my world. The texture and taste reminded me of a pumpkin muffin, so I must have said “oh my gosh, these are delicious” at least three or four times while I was eating them. And, just as awesome, they’re loaded [...]

Afternoon Cuddle Time

January 26, 2012

One of the best perks about working from home is afternoon cuddle time with my favorite pug. How adorable is this dog?! Murphy often spends much of the day sitting in my lap while I work at my computer. I’m sure it’s terrible for my back, but he’s so darn cute, I just can’t say no. [...]

A Really Nice (Pug) Life

January 9, 2012

Good morning! Happy Monday! So, last night, Mal and I chatted about how good Murphy has it. He lives a really nice doggie life. I mean, he sleeps whenever he wants. And wherever he wants. He gets treats on a regular basis. He goes for long walks everyday. He takes frequent trips to the park. [...]

Murphy Versus the Couch

January 3, 2012

IMG_0011 (800x600)

It’s hard to tell who’s winning between Murphy and the couch. At first look, it seems like the pug is dominating his competition. Without much (if any) effort at all. But, when you look closer, it doesn’t seem like Murphy is very comfortable, so maybe the couch is winning after all? I dunno. It’s anyone’s [...]

Good morning! Happy Monday! Steel cut oats and I have a love-hate relationship. After eating and loving the steel cut oats at La Pain Quotidien, I went out and bought some to make at home. It’s been about a month since I bought the canister of steel cut oats, but I still haven’t made them. [...]

Getting Back On Track

November 30, 2011

_MG_5421 (800x533)

Good morning, friends! Nothing says “happy holidays” like pug butt on your wrapping paper! Murphy is always so helpful. Aren’t all pugs? They love to be as close as possible to the action. Murphy honestly didn’t realize that he was in my way at all. Or maybe he did and just gave me the most [...]

Pug Pimple

IMG_0053 (800x600)

GAH! Look what happened overnight! SNOW! BOO times a million. Murphy felt the same way about the snow this morning. I had to drag him outside into it, but once he was out there, he quickly did his business— he wanted to get back in the house as much as I did! I’m glad that [...]

Pug Versus Tiki Torch

September 23, 2011

This afternoon, one of the tiki torches on our deck snapped off and fell into the backyard, which really confused and freaked out Murphy. He kept barking at it, so I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to tease him with it a little bit. I love this dog. He’s such a nut.
