Inaugural BBQ

Summer arrived for a few brief days last weekend so Chris and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to, as I like to call it, “grill and chill”. Our new grill was just screaming to be fired up and just waiting for steaks to sizzle on its virgin grates. We also got to enjoy our new patio set with the company of great friends!! Thanks Ang, Jeff, Aimee and Sean for joining us for our inaugural BBQ. Hopefully we can do it again soon….with a patio umbrella the next time so we don’t sizzle.

Puppy Video

Here is a little video I shot of the pups; the pup walking around the most in the female.

Meet the Pugs

Chris and I met the pug pups (or babies as the breeder likes to call them) yesterday and were amazed at how cute and tiny they were. They could fit in the palms of our hands. We tried to get some good shots of them but after many attempts we finally realized why the breeders pics weren't great; the little guys and girl are very squirmy and always moving.

Each of the pups had their own personality. The bigger boy was very aggressive and rambunctious, constantly biting at our shoe laces, pants and hands and pushing the other 2 smaller pups out of the way...clearly not submissive in anyway. The smaller boy was very needy, always trying to climb on us and eventually fell asleep in my lap while I was sitting cross-legged on the floor. The little girl was the independent one. Walking around us, smelling the floor and looking cute but when we would pick her up she would cuddle.

With our puppy analysis complete, we decided to make the little girl (picture to the left above) the new addition to our family. She is independent and loving but not too aggressive or shy. Our top name choice is Violet; cute and appropriate for a Spring pup...and will fit in nicely with the other flower dogs in the Fisher/Henderson family :-)

This is the big boy; big because he pushes the other 2 away from food constantly.
This is the little, needy boy asleep on my lap...so freakin' adorable.
Cute little girl, aka Violet; her head looks quite large in the picture but I think it was the angle.
