This was the first year I got to go. We usually miss the fest due to both Mama and Daddy having to work. The festival was sponsored by our local Westlake Animal Hospital and was hosted by DFW Pug Rescue. To my knowledge, DFW Rescue Group is one of the largest Pug Rescue groups in the nation. I had never seen soooo many Pugs in my life.
I kind of stuck out like a sore thumb...there were not many cross breeds there. I was lucky enough to meet a Chug (chihuahua & pug mix).
I also met a puppy English Bulldog, so I was not the only odd ball out.
There were Howlloween Costume Contents with fun and games. I didn't enter the Costume Contest because I don't like to wear stuff, but Daddy insisted that I wear my Longhorn T-Shirt since we had a big game that same evening. So either way, I was stuck in clothes! (by the way, we ended up crushing Mizzou!) I don't think there were any talent contest, or I would have sure to win the "talented dog trick" category. Then there was an area for Fall Pictures. Mama HAD to make sure I posed for a picture.
Overall it was a great time...the people were nice, the weather was beautiful and I enjoyed it!Hugs,

If you guys are familiar with the game of Football...it is going to beTexas vs OU weekend coming up. (OU stands for Okalahoma University) Needless to say...we are rooting for the Longhorns. We have been beat by the Sooners one too many times, so this year they have me to cheer them on. I have my Longhorn T-shirt and remote control ready to go! 
According to the NCAA AP Poll, we the Longhorns are the #5 team and the OU Sooners are #1. Hopefully, the rankings will all change for the better after Oct.11th. Happy week of tailgating!
I do not get treats like I used to, but every once and a while, my puppy dog eyes would buy me these low calorie Cheese Pup treats.
My Mama has even gone as far as only giving me a treat in a Tricky Ball
...in which I have to work for. The treat is stuck in the ball, so I have to roll and throw the ball around until the treat falls out...then I get a treat! There is 
This Diet thing really sucks. I cannot wait to get to my target weight of 20lbs and all this silly mess will go away! The best part of it all is that I am sure to get a 
I am in the category between Too Heavy and Ideal. I'm not quite overweight, but am not ideal either. My excuse is that it has been super hot outside and I cannot deal with all that heat...I have black fur! Plus, my broadness is due to the Pug side of me!
Making sure I recognized that one!
Then I checked out the local hangout of the fire hydrant!
Then all of a sudden, Mama burst into a sprint. I had to go along with her. Look at me run!
I sure don't run very often. Both Mama and I were exhausted when we got back to the house. All I wanted was some cool water.
This is how I feel about D-I-E-t and exercise:
I was super tired and exhausted after my 20 minute walkie that entailed some running. Mama said that she would reduce her dessert and sugar intake to diet with me. Now if only we can convince Daddy to give up his Fried Chicken!
We here in Austin shouldn't be in the center of everything, but supposively I'm not going to be able to go on my walkies or go potty outside peacefully for a couple of days. Another YUCK! Lets just hope that we don't get floated away...in the meantime, I'm going to stay under the futon for shelter until all this chaos is over!
I am involved in a contest hosted by Amber Mae and Faya. I'm in the KONG contest, so go .JPG)
This year, we are having excessive lack of rain and are in a drought, so I have crispy dry grass. 
You guys can compare both of my pictures, as the same area of the yard is pictured. Please excuse my disgracing waistline. Its amazing how the camera enlarged my mere gain of 4 pounds. My Daddy said that I'm showing my husky Pug bones.
Mama compensated by teaching me tricks and letting me lounge around. I even got rawhide to chew for being so good.
I was sooo happy with my chewie that I forgot that Daddy was at work.
I love new toys! Thank you Uncle Phil!!!
This time, my Mama put Peanut Butter inside and freezed it. It was super yummy and was no challenge for me!
I also have another KONG favorite. It is my Kong Wubba...it can keep me entertained too. Too bad I cannot get any treats out of it. My Mama especially likes that toy because I can't destroy it..jpg)
If you pups out there do not already have a KONG...go out and get one! They are GREAT! 
Mama thought I was so cute, she grabbed the camera...I was not amused!
At the end of the whole ordeal...I left Mama with this to pick up.
She said that I am a shedding machine. The best part of my day was that I got to see Susie, my roommate, endure her shower too. Susie HATES showers more than me. Susie will even run and hide when she hears the faucet turn on. 
My Mama and Daddy came home from the store and brought me my payment. I got paid in a big lump sum. I had to check it out and make sure that it was an authentic payment.
Mama said that I should be more willing to pose for pictures, since she paid me up front.
I wonder what the payment plan is like for Overtime. Isn't it time and a half???
I then got to try out the goods.
It tasted pretty good. Good job Mama and Daddy in the payment. We will have to work on my Overtime payment next!
My bed is not my usual place of lounging. You can find me in it every once in a while, but not very often.
I will go to my bed when told, but often there has to be an incentive involved. My bed is also a place I will head to when Daddy says its "bed time," but I will quickly move into bed with Daddy when the lights go off.
