I can't believe a whole month has past!

Hi everyone, I hope that you're all enjoying your summer so far. I know that I sure have. Lots have happened since my last post and I apologize for not updating the blog more frequently. But in my short puppy life, so much happens so quickly, that I don't always have time to run to the computer, boot Pooka and Cro`i off of the Internet (because they like to look at kitty-cat sites) to update my blog.

Let's talk about those kitty cats for a minute, and how everyone is adjusting to a home with a puppy these days. As I'm getting older, I am a constant ball of puppy energy-meaning all I want to do is play, play, play. Even though I am small, I am still a bit too much for Aunt Ida who I know loves me. Aunt Ida instead plays only a little with me, shares her breakfast with me and watches Sponge Bob Squarepants with me. (Aunt Ida used to hate Sponge Bob.) Once mommy comes home from work, we'll either play in the backyard or go for a walk around the block. I like to investigate everything! Of course we'll snuggle on the couch too. Grandmom doesn't play with me much unless I greet her at the door or snuggle up on the couch next to her. Then she'll give me belly rubs. I LOVE belly rubs....can't get enough of belly rubs. I am a belly whore! (Or that's what mommy calls me.) Pooka and I have become bestest friends. We play together, and sometimes (as little sisters are known to do) I annoy him a bit. But we actually go in the backyard for a minute to take in the scenery, standing next to one another. Sometimes I gnaw on his ears, and he doesn't even complain. If Pooka escapes the house without permission or Cro`i, I will bark, and herd them in to the house. I do this because I know it is not allowed for them to be outside. Cro`i on the other hand is still not too keen about me. It's because I am so energetic, and as I rush her she gets a bit enrvous. I don't mean to scare her...I just want to give her kisses. If I approach her gently or slowly, she will allow me to kiss her a few times, or she'll kiss me. I guess she just needs more time.

I am almost all housebroken. I still have some accidents, but we're working on this. When Aunt Ida, mommy and I went on vacation (see next post) I did not have any accidents in the room. On July 7th I turned 6 months old.....we didn't have a cake or anything because my birthday fell on a Monday. On Wednesday, July 9th I had to go to have some surgery- I am being spayed so as not to have any puppies. Mommy and everyone say it's better and healthier for me. Plus mommy heard that sometimes pugs have complicated births and need to have cesarian's because of the big puppy heads. So it was decided no puppies for Lola. I also had two puppy teeth yanked out of my mouth, to make room for my big grown up teeth. And that's about it. I'm loved, I love my family...I'm happy, and I bring happiness to everyone who meets me, no joke! Read the other blog about my summer vacation, to Salem, MA.
