Olivia's Baby

This is the life....

Vacations are exhausting....

Dog days of summer....

Bow Tie & Tail

Hot Rocks

Olivia warmed herself on the pond rocks.

Working Hard

We had one of our ponds cleaned. Olivia was not impressed.

Pug Art

While Mia decorated the driveway and herself with chalk during our February heat-wave, Olivia found a way to cover herself with chalk as well.

Happy Valentine's Day

Little Miss Jealous

Out Tough.....

Cutie

Although he's chewed the woodwork around the windows, the stem of a Saarinen tulip table, and the side of Ava's Heywood Wakefield bed.

Pug see, Pug do

same positions, same tail curl....

Merry Christmas

Ornaments were made by Ava & Mia.

Snow Day

Olivia & Olive had so much fun playing in the snow today. They ran around eating the snow like it's popcorn spilled on the floor and they only have 5 seconds to eat it all!

Check out this blog to see a lil' video of us chasing the girls in the snow.

The Bark Slope Dog Blog

We were honored to see Olivia & Olive on a list of Dogs in America: Delaware from the blog: The Bark Slope Dog Blog.

Many thanks to Kiku's Mom.

Halloween Evening

Olivia was a bobby soxer, just like her "sisters". I made her skirt and Olive's jacket. My hubby hand painted the logo on his jacket.

Pug-O-Ween 2007

Olivia & Olive attended the annual Pug-O-Ween Meet-Up in our town. Their "real" Halloween costumes weren't completed yet, so we had them wear two costumes we had lying around. Poor Olive was a Lady Bug. He didn't mind, he's kind of a scaredy cat anyway.

What kind of dog are you?

We all went to the Delaware Humane Society Walk for Animals on Sunday. Mia & Olive got their pic in the News Journal.

Fall Mugs

This is MY pillow.....

Olivia is testing out the new pillows I made for them. After the "photo shoot" Olivia rubbed her nose all over this pillow. I guess she called "dibs" on this one.

Pug Meet-Up

Olivia & Olive went to the the monthly Pug Meet-Up this past Saturday. They had lots of fun and got to see all of their pug friends.

Up the Creek....

The six of us went for a walk through our creek on Sunday. Our pugs think that they are Labs!! They hop the rocks and swim upstream. It's so funny.

Back to School Pug circa 2006

Olivia was the Featured Pug today on the Owned by Pugs website.

Photo Shoot

Mia was bored today, so she decided to dress up Olive & Olivia. She took about 75 shots of them. They were good sports. Don't they look happy!

Olive's First Pug Meet Up

Olivia & Olive went to the Talley Day Park for this month's Pug Meet Up. Olivia was a social butterfly. Olive didn't know what to make of all the other dogs.

Olive's First Swim

Olive & Olivia went swimming at Mom Mom and Pop Pop's today. We couldn't keep Olivia out!! (This is technically not Olive's first swim...he jumped (fell?) in her pool when it was filled with green muck before it was officially open and I had to jump in & save him, yum!)

Swimming in the Creek

Olivia & Olive had a fun night camping out with Ava's friends. They were up really late so Ava, Mia, Olivia & Olive relaxed and swam in the creek this afternoon. Then they were all in bed by 7pm!

Ladies Night

Olivia is the spokesmodel for our latest invites. She too is excited for the sleepover. Guess Olive and Daddy are the odd men out.

Experienced Woodsman

Water Balloons

Olivia loves to pop water balloons. Olive stayed far away. He doesn't even like a bath.

Can you see me?

Olive is so hard to photograph! He is snoozing on the window ledge.

Olivia & Olive

Meet Olive

Olivia now has a little brother to call her own. He is three months old. We adopted him on April 29th.

Olivia likes to do the Dishes

Olivia makes sure that our dishes do not have any scraps on them before I run the dishwasher. She's so helpful.

Olivia Loves Spring

Olivia the Pug...BY MIA

Olivia the Clay Creation

Ava made a little clay Olivia the Pug.

Sketches

Ava sketched Olivia. Love the type treatment.

Olivia's Photo Shoot

Ava decided to subject Olivia the Pug to an 83 shot photo shoot. She actually sat through most of it.

My First Birthday.....

My birthday morning....


Wow! They gave me a dog biscuit with whipped cream and sprinkles!

Happy Valentine's Day from Olivia

We decided to steer clear of the store bought valentines this year. Olivia was the perfect model.

Mmmmmmm...Frog Legs.

I was trying to be a nice Mommy today to Olivia. It wasn't as cold as it has been lately, so she & I took a stroll to our gazebo to check the ice on the creek. She began "truffling" around & found what I thought was a stick. I got a little closer and noticed it was a FROG LEG! Yuck! Luckily, after I asked her if she wanted a TREAT (Old Mother Hubbard Gimme A Kiss biscuit) she dropped that nasty leg and ran for the door! She didn't know that first she was going to get her mouth wiped out with an antibacterial wipe.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.......


It may be 16° outside, but Olivia is nice and cozy.

Baby It's Cold Outside....


Olivia the Pug loves to pose for pictures....even in 23° weather.

Is is Spring already?





On Saturday, it was 71° out! Olivia was quite confused. We went for a hike, hung out at our creek and gazebo. Now we all have spring fever and it's only January 6th!

Donut Dust Doggie


Olivia had her first piece of a lemon filled doughnut. Olivia runs on Dunkin...

So this is Christmas...

and I'm tired. Running thru the discarded wrapping paper is hard work. I love all my new toys, treats and even my new sweater from Mom Mom & Pop Pop. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Cookies

Yes, I even help make the cookies for Santa. I help lick the flour & sugar off of the floor. My sisters are messy when they work in the kitchen, but that's fine with me.

Jake the Ring Bearer..


Olivia's beloved was in a wedding. He looked so handsome, his owner Jeannine looked beautiful! Congrats to the happy family.

I just can't decide....


Olivia can't decide what pillow to "hair up".

BUSTED...again!

Olivia can't choose between the Eames lounge or the Saarinen Womb chair. She also enjoys the Sunday Style section.

Pumpkin Pug



Olivia could care less about the pumpkins unless they are in a pie, although she knows if she sits pretty she'll get a treat!

BUSTED!


We came home from a brunch on Sunday and couldn't find Olivia? Of course, she chose the Eames lounge to take a snooze on. The pillow was supposed to deter her from jumping up. Needless to say, there is a mountain of pillows today.

Pug-O-Ween Pug Meetup





Olivia the Pug attended a Pug Meetup today. All her pug friends were there, even her beloved Jake. Poor Jake grew out of his "tuxedo" and Olivia was left standing at the altar. Maybe next time. Olivia took a bath and a long nap afterwards. I'm sure she was dreaming of Jake.....

Olivia the Pug Calendar Girl



Today I received an email stating:
Great news! One of the pictures you have submitted to the Owned By Pugs 2007 Calendar Contest has been selected for the Owned By Pugs calendar!
Olivia will be featured in the June & September pages with other cute pugs.

Ahhhhhhhh.. I love the smell of grass.

Olivia stopped to smell the grass on her morning walk.

Mugsy's New Friend

Mugsy (aka. Olivia the Pug) has a new friend. Well not really, since she'd chew the heck out of it. Just a cute little tag sale find for the shelf.

Olivia the Pug is One Tired Doggie


Olivia and the family attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals this past Sunday. Olivia thought it was a race because she tried to run the entire walk instead of WALKING. She met lots of other dogs and even a few pugs. They even gave out her favorite treats, Buddy Biscuts!

Trash Day....Olivia gets upset when they pick up our trash. I'm glad she chose my husband's pillow and not mine.

A Good Cup of Chai.....

Even Olivia the Pug enjoys her caffeine in the morning...or sneaking a lick from my cup when I'm not looking.

Fall puppy.....Olivia loves crunching the leaves underfoot and in her mouth!

Falcor!

Never give up and good luck will find you. Hey, what ever happened to the guy from Kajagoogoo?

Just Chewin'......


Mommy has too much time on her hands now that my sisters are back in school. She takes too many pictures of me! I guess she'll be updating my blog, Olivia the Pug, DAILY! You can't blame her, I am really cute.

You Can't Catch Me....


Now that my sisters are back in school, I've been reduced to playing with a paper plate.

Back to school....


Can I go to school tomorrow, too?

House33 Catalog Hot Off the Press....



Olivia decided that "Daddy's" new House33 catalog was too delicious to let sit on the shelf. Hopefully, Hank, his print rep & close, personal friend suggested using an organic ink.

Au Revoir!
Jake's Mom sent a pic of Olivia & Jake saying goodbye at the Pug Meet-up.

Olivia is a little tied up at the moment....


Can a pug get a little help please?

Oh Jake, how I've missed you....


Olivia went to her 2nd Pug Meet-Up today. Needless to say, she had a ball.

Sunbathing.....


Now that I'm bathed, can I enjoy the sunshine?

Lunchtime....
My human sisters are making lunch. Maybe if I look cute they'll give me a bite!

Bathtime.....


Why must you wash me? I smell just fine.

Sittin' in the morning sun....





Today I had an introspective moment, then I fell asleep.

Cheburashka & Gloomy.....

These are some of my friends. Don't tell my human sisters, cause I chew on them!!

Hollywood Doggie....


Olivia had an ingrown eyelash which led to surgery. The following week had her nose done (she had her nose holes opened for better breathing), she was spayed and had baby teeth extracted. Poor baby. She's all better now.

Tiki Party....


Olivia was not happy about the band at our Tiki Party.

What's wrong with sleeping in a bag?

Now you see the shed, now you don't see the shed.....




Wow, that was alot of junk.

I'm helping Daddy paint the chairs...

My first Frosty Paw.

I think we're alone now....


Olivia getting cozy with Jake, a friend she met at a Pug Meet-Up in July.

I'll wait here for a snack....

I love laundry day.....

Can we give Olivia whipped cream?

Olivia is making herself at home.

Oliva the Pug came into our lives April 29th, 2006.
