Back Home

Back from the road trip. It was a long 13-hour drive and I'm tired! It's amazing how much work it is to be co-pilot.

I'll post a photo or two from my trip later this week. I just wanted to say hi to everyone and let them know we had a safe drive home.

PS - the photo above - that's me and my brother Frankie checking the bushes to see who stopped by while we were away.

Road Trip

I'm going on a road trip!

I just found out! I'm soooo excited. I love road trips. I am a good passenger and a pretty darn good co-pilot. We occasionally go on short roads trips to the dog park or the VET (yuck!), but this is a long road trip to see my Grandma, Grandpa and my Auntie. Yep, we're talking 8 hours in the car.
My Mom's pretty good and stops about every two hours for a little nature break (for me . . . ) and she never, ever leaves us in the car alone. This time, we're gonna drive a few hours, stay overnight somewhere and then finish the drive the next day. Then we get to spend a week running around in a huge yard, taking naps and of course, having snacks. Life is good when you are a princess.

Am I a pug?

We went out yesterday for a walk (I take my Mom and my brother out for three walks a day . . .) and a neighbor visitor asked if I was a pug.

When I heard this question, I immediately stopped sniffing the grass and looked at her. I thought "of course I'm a PUG. What do you think I am? A chicken? A furry basketball?" My Mom answered with that wierd "pug mix" story, but we all know I'm really 100% pug. Face it - I'm a little dog, with big attitude. As I said, what else could I possibly be?

Then the bomb dropped. It seems neighbor lady had a "pug pug", not a pug mix. Pug-pug comes over and we stare at each other for a moment. He's silver, I'm fawn. He's double curl, I'm single curl. He's 15 pounds, I'm 25 pounds. Hmm . . . .ok, ok, so I'm not pug-pug, but pug mix. Alright, I admit it. I pug mix and pug-mix proud!!

Hello there and thanks for visiting my new blog!

I'm so excited! For quite time, I've wanted my own blog. It's so hard to have so much to say and no where to say it!!

Let me start out by telling you a little about myself. I'm Amber Coco, puggie princess. I didn't give myself the title of puggie princess; my Mom did. I just go along with it to make her happy.

I was adopted through Pug Rescue of Sacramento a while ago (no, I'm not going to tell exactly how long ago because a lady never reveals her age). I have a puggie brother, Frankie, a mom and dad (both humans). And no, I'm not 100% pug, but I'm a pug-mix. My mom refers to me as a puggette, whatever in the world that is.

Anyway, as I mentioned, I've wanted my own blog for some time now. Being four-legged and a foot tall gives me a unique perspective of the world that not everyone has. Also, I spend a big chunk of my time enjoying leisurely strolls, taking naps and studying nature. This lifestyle lends itself to much contemplation and soul searching, which naturally morphs into occasional words of wisdom.

This blog is share my random thoughts with others, mixing it with a little wit, joy and puggette silliness. I do hope you enjoy . . .
