Poised to pounce. She loves her banana chips. Pizza Party! Pizza Party! After party. So tired she fell asleep before she was halfway on her bed.
July 26, 2020: Suji Sunday!
No sleeping in for this girl. She is up at 6:30 a.m. every morning and will make sure YOU get up to so that she can have her breakfast and morning walk. Relaxing after her daily double walk. The call her "The Cleaner". She does this thing now where she hangs around the strawberry plant…
September 27, 2019: Pug Nation of Los Angeles
So, the plan was to (possibly) adopt a dog on this trip to L.A. That WAS the (possible) plan but, alas, it doesn't look like we'll be adding to the pack. Not on this trip anyway. And, to be honest, it is kind of heartbreaking. Given the fact that we already have two special needs…
September 15, 2019: Suji Sunday!
Ready to roll! Lulu getting used to her wheels. Done! Embarrassing her at the park in front of her friends. Lulu and Lambchop. Suji's a huge fan of kpop!
January 7, 2019: Suji Sunday – one day late!
Playing catch-up... Frequent flyer. Chillin' with mom. Relaxing with/on sis. Well? Aren't we going? Bushed! Separation Anxiety. I'm feeling it! The Suji 2019 limited edition pins are shipping now from Etsy! https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/672487577/suji-lucky-pin-2019?ref=listing_published_alert
What’s going on with your feet?
April 15, 2018: Suji Sunday!
I'll spare you the rant and leave you, instead, with some videos of Suji in action - Her imitation of a french bulldog. Has never met a camera she hasn't liked. A determined eater (P.S. Lulu already got her piece).
May 1, 2017: Happy Birthday, Suji!
Our girl turned 12 today (even though she looks 20!). Her other life. This was the pic on the Pacific Pug Rescue adoption page. We quickly discovered she was a little girl with a big personality. Yo, Four-Eyes! Handle with care! On the bridge of The Raza, taking her to FTL. Running The Raza corridors.…
April 1, 2017: Dedicated to the Dogs!
We received the retouched selects from our family photo session at Off Leash Studio. Some great shots of 11 year old Suji, 9 year old Lulu and, of course 14.5 year old Bubba taken the week before he passed away. This is one of my favorites. Note Lulu actually smiling for the pic. Suji and…
March 11, 2017: The Bubba Update
Sadly, it isn't good news for our boy. A follow-up with our oncologist revealed that the tumors in his lungs have grown since our last visit one month ago. As a result, she suggested we discontinue the Palladia treatment and focus on making the most of the time he has left. We'll continue administering the…
January 18, 2017: Dark Matter Season 3 – Day 34 of 91!
Fandom has spoken! Here are the results of our Name Dark Matter Episode 301 poll. Over 600 votes were cast and the winner is... "Being Better Is So Much Harder" Now the next thing I'm going to need you to do is identify which character said each of the aforementioned lines. First one to guess…
December 17, 2016: Suji enters rehab!
Yes, years of hard living have taken their toll. So, today, Suji entered rehab... First, a little test of those gimpy hindquarters. Yes, they're weak and she suffers from hip dysplasia, but she can really motor when she gets up a full head of steam. Into the tank for her hydrotherapy session. The handle…
December 4, 2016: Snow Monkeys on the brink! Suji settles in!
It's all over but the crying (as my dad used to say). Despite a valiant effort, and an impressive win in their last week of regular season play, it looks like my Snow Monkeys will come up one game short in their bid to grab that last playoff spot. There were a lot of missed…
December 3, 2016: Introducing…Suji!
Yesterday was the day! Akemi and I went down to Toronto's Union Station to meet the newest member of the family - Suji (aka Sujiko), who comes to us all the way from Portland, Oregon via The Pacific Pug Rescue. Akemi saw little Suji (formerly Suzie) on their website a few weeks back and instantly…
June 2, 1015: Jelly’s Last Run
I first set eyes on her in her little enclosure, backing up and charging, stopping just short of the window, then backing up and charging again. She was admittedly adorable. And tiny! So small I could have held her in my hand. But I didn't want a dog. Dogs were, after all, a huge responsibility…
