Friday night I went to a birthday party at my new friends Pug and Yoshi's house for one of their little humans. It was a pool party but I didn't bring my life jacket so I couldn't play in the pool. My girl and boy human don't know for sure if I can swim yet and we didn't want to take any chances. So I hung out under the pizza boxes and also made sure no one ate too much of the giant chocolate chip cookie cake. This was a good job for me since I don't eat people food. I get this yummy stuff from the vet that's special for my itty-bitty intestines. Everyone had a good time and all the "little humans" seem to come out of the pool in a funny shade of blue and did this silly shake. Not at all effective for getting dry like we dogs do. And then they didn't even roll around in the towels. Strange......
It was a late night and we got home at 1am. So we slept in a bit yesterday and didn't go outside until almost 6am! Girl and boy humans had some early morning errands to run so I stayed home and caught up on some sleep (I mean protected the house).
When they got back home we started some house work, clipped coupons(all over the great room floor, since I helped) then the lawn work began. First that buzzy thing up the driveway and down and then all around my favorite places to sniff and play balance beam, like the flower bed wall. Then out came the BIG RED THING.

It had wheels and a handle and it was loud and once it was gone it had made the yard smell all new again. Boy that's a lot of re-peeing I have to go do now.
Then later some new humans came over and they had all sorts of buckets and fuzzy things that looked like toys but everyone said NO they were not for me, they were for the dust bunnies. Funny, I didn't know we had bunnies in the house!!!! They haven't come out to play with me yet :-( The new humans also had a smaller version of the BIG RED THING that zoomed around the floor .

I wanted to see it but it made a loud noise and it scared me,I mean I had to protect my humans from it, so I sat at the middle of the staircase and barked until I made it stop.
After an hour and a half, the little BIG RED THING left and I took a nap. All that protecting can wear a pug down. But soon we went outside to see how our vegetables were growing. We planted them a few days ago and I can see they are growing as fast as I am ! After that my boy human
cranked up the hibachi and we grilled some beautiful smelling chicken. I think I might like chicken.
After we ate I took another nap on my girl humans right leg in my usual spot and somehow I woke up 4 hours later in the exact same spot. Yup I am really settling into my new digs.
Today we spent just being around each other and I tried to catch up on some of that peeing I have to do to make the yard smell good again. I have a busy week ahead of me.
Hope you had a good weekend too!
