baroo roo! hello lj human friends. =) it's been a long time since this blog has been posted in so i thought i'd update it now. i've had a couple scary seizures in the last couple weeks so mommy took me to the doggy doctor where i tapdanced on that terrible metal table while the doctor put things in my butt and ears and stuck me with needles! boo! well, at least we know now that i probably just have doggy epilepsy and if i need it there is medicine i can take daily. for now though, mommy is just going to keep track of me and see how i do over the next few week to see if i develop a pattern of epileptic episodes.

last weekend we went to a bbq and i hung out with a bunch of other doggies, it rocked! of course i also liked hanging out with the humans quite a bit; i am a ham for attention!

i have a new friend at home now too, she's ... different. i think she's called a 'cat' or something, all i know is that she likes to lay on me and she's a little bit crazy tearing around the house in the middle of the night chasing imaginary things. her name is jenna, here she is laying on me while i try to sleep on the couch catching some american idol with mommy:



i also have a sassy new hoodie with pink embroidered skull/crossbones on it that i wear all the time now:



that is all for now. :)

happy halloween to everyone from lee.loo pretending to be woodstock from the peanuts cartoon:







i think she did aight. :P

we had a little break before i had to go to a training out of town in LA for my newest client, so lee.loo and i stopped off at a dog-friendly home in newport beach and hung out for a couple days with the handsome boxer josh & his proud papa before we checked into our hotel here, where lee.loo has her own bed. =P

oh and shhh, don't tell - i got slobbery kiss therapy from jimbo's fine boxer, josh:



oh snap, i think she's already caught me!

my little pug is all grown up! she's turned into an oakland warehouse roof dog, she's so hardcore - and i've only had her since january! don't worry, she's still pretty much always spreading the pink. she's a dark fighter and a light spreader, with her pink rhinestoned harness, her roof presence is positive - she can do both just by being. =)

lee.loo turned 3 years old in doggy years sometime between the 1st and 5th of this month, her papers say the 1st. in any case, happy birthday to my little lee.loo, who's my best friend and only consistent companion. she doesn't leave if i cry, she doesn't leave if i'm upset, she doesn't leave if i get angry. she just wants to be with me and loved. that, i can do.





(no comments on her weight, i'm, err...she's sensitive! besides, cartman's mom says she's just big boned.)



"it's a pug's life, yo'."

lee.loo met my old dog porter yesterday, at a local dog park. she had some fun there but mostly did her usual "i'm serious mom, why are there so many other dogs here and why aren't we cuddling in bed" face while staring up at me, ignoring other dogs. she chased one big dog around and she and porter weren't very interested in each other. porter likes to play, lee.loo...not so much.

lee.loo likes to eat, sleep, be pet, be in my lap, be with me. repeat. but in any case, here are are all of the park pics:

lee.loo:


( cut for lots more doggy pics from the doggy park! )

maybe this entry is more about poor me, but lee.loo won't come to me anymore. ever since the other big dog here nipped at her butt while she was in my arms (right after my big gay male bear roommate came running in the house and "barked" back at her and ran her right into her crate) - she shakes and shivers whenever she hears any humans or the other dog's tags jingling.

she hides in her crate most of the time, or under the covers. i can't reach for her or call out her name and have her come running to me like she always has - she backs away from me now. i can't tell you how heartbreaking this is. i know she thinks it's my fault that she got bitten and now she doesn't even trust me. she doesn't trust anyone, she's just like me right now - her mommy betrayed her trust & didn't take care of her and now she won't come close at all.

i know it's selfish of me, but darn it, i really need her right now.

so i'm walking around the house,
getting shit done,
organising -

- and then -

- out of nowhere -

this comes out of my mouth:

"aaaaall by myyyyyy seeeeeelf..."

i cracked up & said "i'm not alone! i have lee.loo!" then i looked and saw that she was snoozing on the throw blanket on the couch & realised, ok, maybe she's not *that* interactive - but she still cracks me up. this is us late last night, as i was internet window shopping, i guess she wanted in on that:





kiss me you fool!

♥ ♥ ♥

but what else is new?

her mum and daddy have been under the weather and i wonder if she has been a bit too. we're all quite attached to the bed and blankies these days:








"none of those toys looked like any fun, let's go back to bed mum."



"and could you please close the curtains? someone else thinks it's time to be awake, *ahem* mr. sun!"

aww, i just went over to Pug Meetup.com and found this picture someone took of me and lee.loo at last month's united pug meetup!



she is still not quite *into* other dogs so much as her mommy, she prefers the quiet of home by a cozy fire, and of course one of my pillows:
