I installed these window perches so Needy and Aloof could watch the world go by and instead they spent the whole weekend watching their favorite human. Go figure.

And don’t forget to check out the Friday Ark!

So, yup, I did in fact go to visit Pugly today for a bit. Fortunately, most of the getting lost part happened afterward so I at least was stress-free and awake while I was there.
When I got there, he’d already had a full day apparently. There’d already been several adopting parents-to-be trooping through playing with puppies and the breeder had taken them all outside while the sun was out earlier in the afternoon. So he and the others were kind of pooped, so to speak. Even so, just a week and a half after my last visit, he’s already moving a lot steadier and quicker on his paws.

Yesterday was warm enough in Maine for Pugly’s current care-taker to take all of the puppies and mommies outside for an adventure and a picnic. Try to find Pugly. He’s the male fawn with the orange colar. (Don’t feel bad if you can’t find him; I couldn’t either.
)

So, it turns out that Pugly qualifies to be registered in the AKC and some other official clubs because he’s a pure-bred, which is all very prestigous. He’s the first Mallory with the distinction.
I think I won’t tell him or he’ll get snooty and lord it over his less distinguished mixed-breed cat brothers.
Anyway, I’m sure I’ll keep up with all of that, but what I really want is to find him some local play groups and such. I’m afraid if he spends all of his time with my cats, he’ll start to think he’s a cat like that Great Dane in The Ugly Dachshund. Besides I’d also like to get out and socialize with some other dog owners too, meet people. I don’t want to start thinking I’m a cat either.
By the way, don’t forget to check out this Friday’s Ark blogging.

I’m trying out this thing where people blog their pets on Friday…
So, here is Needy. He wouldn’t share my blanket…

And here’s Aloof supervising my work in the kitchen.
