Take a break!

Oh, hello. I just wanted to remind everyone out there to take time and smell the roses. Or the rhododendrons. Or the leaves. You know what I mean.

I met another cousin today

Out at the dog park, I met a cousin on the pug side of my family. He is a pug/border terrier mix. Sadly, my human didn't have her camera, but here are what his parents probably looked like:

He had a fully curled tail and a round head with some wispy whiskers.

As per usual, I was none too impressed with this so-called 'family member.' I walked off after a brief sniff. 

Makin' pals at the dog park

I was a little porky last year but nowadays I keep in fighting form with regular trips to the dog park! It's the biggest dog park in the US, so I get plenty of exercise walking through it. 

I like going to the dog park so much I've even been known to smile on occasion!

Last time I went there, this little upstart kept bugging me. I gave her the obligatory sniff hello, but beyond that I'm kind of a cranky old lady who needs her personal space, so I growled at her and walked away. But she kept bugging me! Puppies these days, sheesh... So finally, I stopped to give her a second sniff to see just what was so great about her. 

She's all right. I like a pup with a little moxie- I'm mortified, however, that we showed up to the dog park in the same harness. The scandal!

Update! I'm still cute.

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I just wanted to reassure anyone who was worried about the status of my cuteness: It's still intact.
