ANOTHER NEW YEAR--HAPPY?

Well, for those of you who are Happy with the New Year coming...all the more power to you. For one, we're not so sure.

I mean, when the sun had been gone a long time and it was even colder with the snow bits scattered everywhere, we were just settling in for a winter's night's sleep, when ---BOOOM!  BOOM! CRASH!  BOOOM! sounds were coming from outside somewhere.  Gus, who barks at about every strange noise, hardly barked, though, which was a blessing.  He was too tired and 75% asleep.  I, who hate any noise except for kibble spilling into my bowl or the words, "Puppy...come...TREAT!," was ready to slink upstairs and crawl into a quiet, dark and soft spot.

Guardian acted like it was any ordinary day...but ordinary days don't have all that noise late at night. So something was up.

Then we heard that our country has one foot dangling over a cliff, and the other on a slippery slope. Is this a way to begin a New Year?  I want to go back to the old one...well except for all that absurd stuff about an election.

 And then...Guardian dressed us up in this ridiculous stuff...I mean, really, should a dog look like THIS--even a pug!?

Really? A 70's Peace Symbol?!

Tails on a PUG?! (I mean non curly ones.)

We sure look like a happy couple, don't we?    NOT!!

Proving once again how lame a photographer she is.

But I guess a New Year (with a 13 in it) and hanging on the edge of a cliff can make people do crazy things.  That's so unlike pugs (ha-ha)--we just want a good routine that includes food, water, loving, exercise and outside trips.  People get so complicated!

Anyway....Guardian also made this stamping collage, with a picture of my Aunt Molly, who passed away in 2008.   She came back in this form to show how she feels about dressing up pugs.  I knew you and I had more than some genetic stuff in common, Molly....Attitude!

After all this, like that silly pug in the picture above (even with stupid decorations on her head and whatever that is in her mouth), we still want to wish all of our readers a very Happy, Healthy, Food-Filled 2013!!
