Happy Father's Day!

Stewie here...

Just wanting to wish all the Fathers out there (not sure how many read here), but a HAPPY FATHER's DAY!! Human or fur.

I belong to a great Dad, that is totally in love with ME! Couldnt ask for a happier Dad! Mom had a great idea this afternoon, and we just had to go shopping! We picked up a tee shirt - got rid of the sleeves (Dad's style), and crossed our fingers and paws that Mom could find the iron on transfers.

And, here is the finished project! Shhhh, dont tell Dad, but with all my excitement, he might be wearing it tomorrow, since its Father's Day weekend, right!? Woof!

Memorial Day 2011

The fam went to go and visit hubby's Grandfather's grave - he was in World War I.

Happy Memorial Day - God Bless those that lost their lives, so I can live mine, free. God Bless America!

Busted!

Santa's Lil Helper

This is how Stewie looked before we went to work this morning... HO HO HO! The residents and staff LOVED it!

Tis the Season!

I ♥ moments like this!

Stewie - 13 weeks old

WOW, what a joy having a dog in our house, it has been. I ♥ having Stewie!! Its been a eye opener as far as getting up and taking care of someone (yes, I consider him a person too). And also, I love shopping for the little guy!

Tomorrow, Stewie will be 3 months old. He has lived with us now for 5 weeks. Tomorrow will be his 17th day to work with me! Yes, Stewie has become the "resident dog" at the nursing home I work at. I can not go out of the unit I work in, with out getting the question.. "Where's Stewie?" (Now if he would just earn his own paycheck.. Puppy Chow would be nice too.. he he.) But seriously, all the attention from both the residents and staff is all worth bringing him every day with me. Its not much work, as I have a few residents I can leave him with, and I dont have to worry.

He has been an absolute joy. He loves being outside, he loves sleeping at my feet. I have to be in bed, or he will start whining, if he is in his crate at night.

He loves his rawhide chew bone. My husband and Stewie have alittle game the like to play on the living room floor. Stewie loves the attention we give him.

Stewie's 1st Bath

Mom said I needed something called a bath. Well, I had my 1st bath today. She used this big bucket thing (I heard it was Spunky's food storage container), and put some nice warm water in it. Then Mom put me in... and started pouring water all over me. I was like - what the heck. Mom then put soap all over me... and told Dad to grab the camera. So this is my 1st bath pic. No - Mom's not hurting me. ~Stewie

Snoring Stewie

If you have ever been around Pugs - you know they snore.

Well tonight I was stitching away, and Stewie wanted up on my recliner... so I allowed him up, and he started out on the top of the chair, and it was uncomfortable (for me).

So I put him on my lap. And Stewie got comfortable.

Do you think??

The joys of Stewie

Last night, I did something I havent done... in.... gosh, months.

I actually sat down to STITCH on Cabin in the Woods.

It was alittle after 11pm, both Brian and the dog had gone to bed for the night. Brian in bed, and Stewie in the crate.

I had been dreaming of stitching all day. I knew I exactly what I wanted to stitch on - the Cabin. I couldnt go to bed till I did.

I got out the stand, with the QSnap still attached to the clamp, pulled off the plastic bag, that was keeping off the dust.

Put the earbuds into my ears to listen to the current audiobook.

Found the symbol and the DMC thread I needed to stitch with. Stitched the stitches, and it felt so good!

But... I kept hearing something. I took my earbuds out to not hear it then. Put the earbuds back in my ears. There it was again.

Stewie is his crate.... whining for me to come to BED!

Yes, Stewie our little 11 weeks & 3 day old adorable Pug, whines if Im not in bed. I yell out, "Stewie, Im fine, go to sleep".

I put the earbuds back in my ears, and continue stitching. Stewie starts back at whining.

So... I thought, well, those 20 some stitches will have to do. Cause Brian just came out of the bedroom, looking alittle annoyed.

I get to the bedroom, walked past the crate - didnt say a word. But I thought, what the heck Im still not tired, so I brought the audiobook to bed with me.

And not one peep came out of the dog, the rest of the evening.

Seems like our dog isnt happy till his Momma is in the same room with him. :)

Stewie & the Flower

Brian took the camera outside, & asked me if I could help him with something with Stewie. This was the result - Stewie with my favorite flower :) ♥ my boys

Stewie update... 9weeks and a few days old

WOW, this puppy business is keeping both hubby and I busy. Mostly the potty training & the playful biting is coming from this cute little pup.


Stewie has been going to work with me. He has been to work 3 days so far, and the residents and staff love him. I have some really adorable pics of Stewie with others - but with that darn HIPPA law, I don't want to get in trouble.


























Stewie is adjusting to his surroundings, just like we are to his. He is a really good puppy. Hubby has trained him to go into his bed. So when Stewie is outside his bed, just laying on the floor, all hubby has to do is say "Stewie, go lay in your bed". And he just walks over to his bed and collapses. Stewie does sleep in a crate at night, get this .. in our bedroom.

Stewie is ... well a snorer. I love it when he snores.
















He is growing like a WEED!! I would love to see his brothers and sisters to compare his size, and I think that he would be the biggest. He has like double in size since we brought him home a week & half ago.

Stewie - One month (as of June 2) OLD!

This past Monday (Memorial Day) thru Wednesday, I went downstate to visit my family, and our new puppy, Stewie.

My niece Natalie was a "flower girl" in the Memorial Day parade. I wanted to see her partake in the ceremony & parade. So, I arrived down there just in time for the parade to start. We went to the cemetery to watch the Memorial ceremony. After, we stopped for lunch, and off we went to the pet store to get the goods, for this little guy.

Stewie was 4 weeks & one - two days old when these pictures were taken. He is growing like a weed!

Stewie - 25 days old

My sister sent some pictures of our puppy - Stewie! He was born on May 2, 2010. He is a purebread Pug. You can see the picture of the rest of the clan - here

The plan is to bring Stewie home the weekend of June 12-13th. Brian's bday is June 12 - so I already got my birthday present for Brian.

Stewie was named after Stewie from Family Guy - and if you watch the show... whats the name of the dog... Brian. So.. Brian wanted to name the puppy Stewie. So, Stewie it is.
