Bobo's mom here...just wanted to share a quick picture of Bobo when he stole my seat whille I was washing dishes after dinner.

He thinks he's the king...

His majesty

Also...my cell phone ringtone is "Single Ladies" by Beyonce (I personally dislike her but I guess this song is my new anthem, how sad) and every time Bobo hears it, he starts howling...so cute.

I'm back! And better than ever. Don't I look super stylish in my sweater?

Mom doesn't like to dress me up but I get so cold with this weather and I don't have a choice. Anyone know where I can get a jacket?

I'm playing again and having fun sleeping next to mom again instead of on the floor. No more yelping. It's fun sleeping next to mom and then pulling a fast one on her by turning around so that my butt is next to her face...TOOT!

I hope everyone is having a good week!

Yoda dog here. Mom got me a blanket because I've been shivering a lot lately. I need more fur!

I love this blankey.

I love sleeping too.

I'm sad grandpa left but I'm almost back to normal. I was playing a lot, not sleeping as much, and not yelping! Still not sleeping through the night but I'm getting there!

This is Sophie, my favorite girl pug and me.

My grandpa came last night to visit. He's going to be here all weekend and I'm so excited.

I played for the first time in two weeks last night. But I did yelp this morning. I'm still sick I guess. :-/


Hey you Boston pals, what kind of winter wear do you sport to keep warm? I've been wearing a sweater but I still shiver in the morning. Brrrr...

I was out and about yesterday...this weekend was rainy and sunny. Didn't make it to dog meetup because Mom was still not feeling well and neither was I.







This is me...still not wanting to play- (note from Mom: although he did pick up a toy for about a minute or two). Still eating and drinking and running but if I'm not doing that, I'm sleeping.

Note from Mom: I miss Bobo. A week + of this depressed behavior is killing me. :( Usually when I come home from work he's so excited to see me, now...he just stares at me and sighs.

BOBO IS SICK

PLEASE HELP BOBO...

Hi all, Bobo's mom here...since Thursday Bobo has been yelping on/off. I'm not sure what is wrong. I took him to the vet and the vet didn't have much to say. Didn't offer x-rays or anything, just prescribed an anti-inflammatory medication.

So now it's Tuesday and he's still yelping here and there. He's hiding under tables and chairs so I can't get to him I'm guessing. He seems very skittish and afraid of everything (normally, Bobo is not like this...he stops on walks just to stare at the big trucks passing by). He won't play, at all. Won't sleep next to me...has been sleeping on the floor-- he eats still and is going to the bathroom but other than that, all he does is sleep. He seems so miserable.

I'm still new to the whole dog world (have had Bobo since March 2008) so any advice, insight, or anything else is much appreciated.

To add to this, I've been really sick too so Bobo & I look like 2 messy peas in a pod! Ugh!

Bobo hiding under the dining table

Looking relatively well here...

Not looking well this morning

Poor guy

Thanks in advance for all your help guys!

EDIT: Bobo is about 2 yrs old (not sure since he was adopted from a shelter) and he is still running during our walks. He turns around when he yelps as if to see what's hurting him. I don't think he's losing his ability to see or walk...at least not at this age. He did yelp when trying to sit down once so I'm guessing he hurt his lower back near his bottom? I've checked all his paws and don't see anything. :-/

get well soon

Bobo's mom here...please send Bobo your get well messages...he was playing with his little twin last night and the puppy scratched/bit Bobo on the corner of his eye and he was bleeding a lot last night.

He seems okay but his eyelid is a bit swollen looking. This is the second eye gash he's had. I feel so bad. Poor guy.

Here's a pic of the little puppy. So cute...just fiesty.

2 month old Gus

Mom is so ready for this election to be over. She was yelling at the tv again last night - it's like her during the Olympics all over again!

In other news...it's COLD! I need a parka like Joey!

Don't I look handsome?

I am NOT a morning person. I mean, dog.

[Mom speaking] - I think Bobo thinks this is his new bed.

[Mom again]- Is this something all Bostons do? Stick their butt in the air and chomp down on a toy?

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!

rewind

Mom found a picture of me the from the first day she had me back in March...don't I look so happy?

So happy.

I look so tough (this was recently).

Army crawling is fun.

I wasn't feeling well this weekend. I slept most of yesterday and threw up on mom's bed...whoops.

Anyone else feeling sick? This weather change sucks :-(

Last night while Mom was taking a shower, I was hiding from her. She kept calling and calling and couldn't find me. Haha...

Hiding from mom.

I think this will be my new bed!

Don't I look cute?

That'll teach her to leave me alone, bored and by myself. Why can't she just take a bath once a month like me?

fall is here...

Mom and I have never spent fall together so she had to find out the hard way that I don't like rain. Thank God she bought me a hoodie last time we were at my grandparents house.

I got a Halloween shirt at Petco for $2! Thanks for going all out Mom :( Two dollars? Is that the best you could do?

I look like a Cal Trans worker!!! (%*&$(&!

We didn't get to go to the dog meetup this weekend because of several reasons but Mom took me on a mile long walk instead!

And...I got a Puppia harness finally! It's so much better than the old harness:

This is my serious model pose.

Mom wanted to get me this costume since she works at a newspaper "the Bee."

But I will kill her if she does!

OMG How bout this???

Anyone dressing up for Halloween?

no internet

We're alive, we're alive!



Mom doesn't have internet anymore at home so she has to sneak a blog entry at work. Shhh...!



We went to the pet store this weekend and I didn't get any toys or treats! Mom put me in some dumb pet stroller but I did NOT like that. That's why I look mad here:

One of Mom's old co-workers got a baby version of me this weekend. I may have a new playmate soon!

My pug friends' dad took this picture. Looks like I just got done eating dinner...hehe:

Is anyone dressing up for Halloween???

omg we're back

Mom was feeling a little lazy after her birthday trip (and the internet at home isn't working)...but here we are now.

The weeklong trip to grandma & grandpa's was fun. I didn't have to stay in a crate at all...for a week! The only bad part was hearing the coyotes howl at night. I ran straight back into the house when I heard them!

The pug neighbors gave Mom an orchid plant AND a new, big bed for me:

Mom & grandpa took me to Petco to get some snacks.

Mom saw a baby me at the mall pet store. She asked how much he was and she almost passed out when she heard - $1500. She couldve bought 15 of me for the price I was!

I also went to my first dog meetup...it's supposed to be for pugs but I'm PRACTICALLY a pug. A big dog drooled on me and I thought I was super cool and started growling/barking at dogs that weighed more than Mom. Oops!

WEEKEND AT LAST

COUNTDOWN TO MOM'S BDAY: 2 DAYS! (She'll be 27! Grandma!)

Maybe Mom will get as spoiled as me...NOT!

Mom says she better never have babies because she'll spoil them like me!

This is my Felix the Cat pose! Where did my ears go??!?!

I wasn't feeling very happy yesterday...look how pathetic I am!

Hope all you doggies have a great week! I hope I get to go to the beach soon!

UPDATE

SUCCESS! Sort of.

Mom had a bright idea (for once in her life) and went to PETCO (there's only 1 in our craptown). Lo and behold, she found the LAST two peanut butter Bimple Bones and a few peppermints (I hope this flavor is good). So here is a picture of what she could afford to buy my greedy azzzzz:

$30 worth of Booda bones!

So the conclusion is, these are being discontinued. It can't be a coincidence that EVERY store mom has gone to has sold out or been "priced to clear." These were on sale with our PETCO card. Thank Buddah...or Booda, rather, hehehehehe. Actually, scratch that. I WILL PEE ON YOU BOODA! Why are you not making these anymore!? They are super healthy, made in the USA and I NEVER ever choke on these when I eat them so mom feels okay about leaving me with one of these while she does chores around the house. One time I ate some rawhide chew and started foaming at the mouth! YUCK!

Chilly Dawgs!

Has anyone had these before? They look pretty good...maybe not the healthiest but nothing terribly awful. Except for the "Made in China" part. Mom says I can't say bad things about China because that's where my grandparents are from.

$&#(*$&(#@&$

Something is wrong with me but I won't tell Mom.

Last night I didn't want to play or eat these crappy bones she tried to feed me in an effort to conserve the 3 Booda bones I have left.

And today when she came home to see me during lunch, I wouldn't walk down the stairs, and I wouldn't go pee.

This is what happened on the stairs..."You want me to WALK? What am I? A dog?!"

Do any of you Bostons do this? Sit down and chomp on something without moving for minutes at a time?

Or am I cuckoo?

Mom is frustrated with me. I hope she still takes me on the beach-birthday-trip!

Is it vacation yet?

Mom's birthday is on the 1st...we're going to the beach for a week! She needs a vacation! Mom took me to the beach a week after she adopted me. I didn't care much but I did like peeing everywhere in the designated dog area.

Mom is super pissed because Booda has "reformulated" the Bimple Bone so that's why she can't find it anywhere. PetsMart sold out of their old stock before she could buy a bunch for me. These are THE only bones I like and that I don't choke on. HELP! The new Bimples are terrible. They're small and I can eat them in about 5 minutes flat!

These bones don't have bad stuff in them and that's why Mom likes me to eat these instead of the other junk food ones.

This is what I look like when I'm mad at Mom for not playing fetch with me:

Mom says it looks like I have a creepy smile in this picture.

pukey

On Tuesday mom took me to pee after she got home from work and what did I do instead? BARF!

My neighbor checks on me on Tuesdays because Mom doesn't have a chance to and she thinks I may have eaten some grass. I've been doing that a lot lately.

Photobucket is being a $#&^! right now so Mom will post a picture of me later. She says I have a "creepy smile." Creepy?! I'm cute!

P.S. I still have not taken to my new Cuz toy...the turtle Cuz I like, but the green Cuz I got last week is just sitting there...so lonely :( Maybe I should send it to Joey!

weekends are too short

First off, thanks to Aggie for giving me this award!

Mom had such a hard week last week working all by herself (she works at a newspaper & her dept had some layoffs).

We slept a whole bunch this weekend. I even slept more than she did today. She was doing laundry and dishes all day but then we went on a walk and went to see my pug friends. I was eating grass and mom was saying 'Don't puke!' What's wrong with eating grass???

I got a bath today...I didn't really freak out like I normally do. Mom decided to bathe me in her shower so I couldn't escape (there's a door) and she used a handheld shower to give me a bath. Afterward, I ran around like a crazy dog.

I wore a different shirt yesterday. Mom says wearing shirts helps my itchies not get worse.

Mom says I look like a puppy here...

My other $1 shirts from Target!

I love my pig toy!

I also love my hot dog toy...

Mom says this is a famous person's Boston Terrier. She thinks it's actress Famke Janssen's. He looks cool!

This is Famke with her BT Licorice.

Mom finally found a story that sells those Frosty Paws all of you like. Anyone had any poo problems after eating them? Sometimes I have poo problems. :(

P.S. Mom called and called about Motley and he was already adopted. The dumb lady from the shelter ignored mom's emails so she gave him to another family. :(

no more booda?

Any of my pals out there eat these? BOODA Bimple Bones- they're one of the few that don't have wheat in them so Mom really likes that about them. Problem is, she can't find them at PetsMart anymore and Target cleared out their stock. Anyone know if they're discontinuing these? Now what will I eat???

My itchies seem to be getting a little better. I haven't been wearing a collar except for when we take a walk. I look naked all the time now! AH!

But Mom bought me these shirts at Target for $1! Score!

Not as cool as Tanner's outfit...but still...

GO TEAM!

Mom she hopes all the other moms will be watching/yelling/cheering for Michael Phelps tonight. She's obsessed!
