WHO'S HAVING A 7 BONE BIRTHDAY????

Well, it's Gus, of course, silly.  I'm already past my 7 bone birthday, like, 3 bones ago.
His 0 Bone Birthday was Oct 25 all those bones ago.

Yeah, he's behind me in birthday celebrations...but since he's such a PartyPug, he will always find more ways than me to celebrate anything. 
Gus has been my housemate since he was somewhere around 
 2 bones.  Wow! 5 bones he's lived here!  (You know I get all these "years" [really, it's bones, folks] information from Guardian, 'cause every day is today to dogs. People are always so into something way back or something way forward....instead of what's happenin' right now. That's why they're always so stressed out. Sadly, they never learn from us.). 
Gus, I guess you've passed my "are you good enough to be a housemate" test, so I'll go ahead and wish you....
HAPPY 7 BONES!

but don't get too used to all this acceptance...keep rememberin' my mind can change in a paw swipe if you try to come between me and Guardian!

CATCHING UP

It's been too long since we sent anything out to the world.  Guardian's fingers and thumbs have been too busy with other projects.  Of course, we hate to be ignored by the world, so we made Guardian feel really, really bad about this.  And now we're back!

But we're catching up on things from the past...the summer to be exact.

It was Philly Livestrong Challenge time again in August.  In case you don't know what we're talking about, look here:

This is our third or fourth year, so I'm told, but each year we meet different people, so it's always a new adventure.  All I remember was that it wasn't as hot this year and it wasn't raining, either.

Before we went, we stopped to say Hi! to a good friend, Satchmo.  I (Jazz) used to live with him, but when Guardian moved, she could only have two dogs.  Molly was alive then, so Satchmo had to stay where he was.  But he's been a friend since I was really, really young.  He's a little older than I am, but I always was top pug.  He was OK with that...well he didn't really have a choice, now, did he?

That's Satchmo in the middle

We caught up on old times. We also told him where we were going.

Gee, you're older, Satchmo, but where's all the grey around your eyes like me!?

 I think he wanted to go with us, but he knew three's a crowd, so we headed on over to the Community College to see the Livestrong Village without him. 

There weren't as many people as we remembered, but there were still enough people we could tease into smiling.  The place people put up signs was just as crowded, though.

Still, even though we didn't leave behind as many smiles as we did before, we did something different.

We made the people in the photos smile!  Now that's our pug magic!
