Vicious Pug
from Ask Chewie: The Pug LifeThe State of Arnold Assembly has approved a bill that allows cities and counties to regulate breeds of dogs. California becomes big brother for dogs!
The State of Arnold Assembly has approved a bill (SB 861) that allows cities and counties to regulate breeds of dogs. Current state law prohibits municipalities from passing any ordinance that targets a specific breed of dog, which is logical as it is not the breed of dog, but the breed of humans that are the problem *snort*
The bill will “allow local governments to require spaying and neutering of specific breeds and to shut down so-called backyard breeders”. De bill does not go as far as to ban specific breeds, but it paves the way…. fer sure.
Assemblyman Tim Leslie, R-Tahoe City, voted for the bill but said it didn’t go far enough. “It’s time to get rid of these pit bulls,” he said. “Let’s send them to some other state.” Ignant fools like him should be sent to another state, although he was prolly kicked outta another state and sent to the land of loony Arnold in de first place.
Why you ask is the Pug concerned with dis? Well, first off pits are my friends. but the main reason is: “Tehama County has seen two vicious maulings in the last few years. In 2002, 6-year-old Genoe Novach was killed by his neighbor’s dogs, two Rottweiler-pug crosses. A third dog, a Rottweiler, was never proved to be involved in the attack but was also euthanized.” The vicious pug dog. Oh no!
Read the bill: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_0851-0900/sb_861_cfa_20050822_180159_sen_floor.html
Look at the opposition: American Canine Foundation, American Dog Breeders Association, American Kennel Club, American Pit Bull Rescue Association, Animal Council, Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights, Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pit Bulls, California Veterinary Medical Association, Caped Dog Services, Chako Rescue Association For the American Bull Terrier, Doberman Pinscher Club of America, Humane Society of the United States, PAWS For Change, Peninsula Humane Association & SPCA, Sacramento Council of Dog Clubs, SoCal BARF, United Animal Nations, West Los Angeles Responsible Dog Owners.
There are two supporters!
I made a shirt to protest this butchery.
*snort* This is an unfair attack on Pit Bulls, rottweilers, and even pug-crosses. Down with vicious people! *snort* This bill has moved to the senate floor. COntact your California senator and let them know how you feel *snort* de political process only works if yous get involved. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html Don’t let Cali-arnold follow the path of denver.

Odie the Talking Pug
from Ask Chewie: The Pug LifeWebsite of the Day: Odie the Talking Pug…That’s the true pug life. He needs your help tho and sells his own clothes.
Mah myspace friend Zorro the Gay Pug shared this Odie the talking Pug movie with me today, and I decide dtah put up Odie’s Whole Site: The Talking Pug. Talking pugs know all about the pug life.
Readin’ on his site, I saw that Odie has had some medical problems with a cough and seizure and hearts. I am so saddened by this news, as i have had seizures and coughs as well. Not to mention dah hip. I always figured that the pug body finds it hard to hold pug devine souls. Odie has his own Cafepress store (like moi) and is accepting donations on his webpage as well. I hope that Odie is feelin’ better….I have been sending himPug blessings all mornin’ and will continue.
Everyone should stop by his site and say hi!

From Orlando: Pup not politically pugnacious
A local column about Republican headquarters in Tavares last week mentioned that the door is sometimes guarded by a little dog who keeps an eye on passers-by. Helen Taylor of Mount Dora called to say that the pooch belongs to her and to report that “Faye Taylor” loves to have her tummy rubbed. Around HQ, she’s known as a “Re-pug-li-can” because of her impeccable breeding. read more

london
from Ask Chewie: The Pug LifeGOing to the Uk I am, I am
From December 11, 2002 properly documented dogs and cats from the U.S. and Canada can enter the U.K. under the U.K. Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) without spending any time in quarantine. The process requires several detailed steps (in this order): your pet must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies and then receive a blood test from a U.S. veterinarian. After reviewing the above paperwork, a USDA-authorized veterinarian can supply the official PETS certificate needed to bring your dog or cat into the U.K.. With the proper paperwork in hand, and a final treatment against ticks and tapeworms shortly before travel, your pet can enter the U.K. together without a quarantine requirement!
For a fact sheet and more information, visit the PETS website at http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/index.htm or call the PETS Helpline on 011-44-870-241-1710 (Monday to Friday - 08.30-17.00 U.K. time).

Make Your Own way
from Ask Chewie: The Pug LifeChewie finds peace with his decisions to lead the pug life.
*snort* I just finished peeing on something. Cant say what cause MaMa mite read this from work. *snort, sheesh*
This morn, she wake me up real early like usual and no matter how much i rolled under the covers. she find me. *snort* so much fer being a spiritual leader when your “MaMa” makes you get outta bed. She started to get real mad like when I refused to go downstairs, so i pretended to appease her. Once downstairs I went in the kitchen to eat sum cheese, but all that wa sin mah bowl was some dog food. *snort*
Then she came out me wit that leash. I calmly turned my head and i swear she pinned me and screamed like satan just to get that thing on me. I think shes possessed. fire came outta her nose. *snort* well not wanting to walk with satan I planted my feet and stood my ground. Afte a couple minutes of that she picked me up and carried me out te door. I walked as slow as possible toward the street to escape but the darn leash was too short. She just kept sayin sumthing about work. So i planted my feet and looked at her and said Work This. You take care of me lady, not the other way around.
More fire came outta her nose and she lugged me into the house. So rite after she leave, i peed. Don’t she know that i’m supposed to sleep late and she shoud lay there so I can curl up on her stomach or her shoulder until i darn well feel like getting outta bed *snort* Then she should feed me some cheese and walk me all the way to the park. Upon return, she should give me more cheese and face the fan in mah direction. And this laptop of mine, she can’t borrow it anymore, it takes up prescious lap space. *snort* i need ta put mah foot down. *grrrr* I need more attention and more taking care of—this home alone for 10 hours aint workin out fer me. remember i chose you MaMa, and I can choose someone else. *snort*
So i’s decide to live my life fer me, not fer her. I’s only be happy when i make mahself happy. So i peed on her—- i mean i peed in da house. I am after all only being te best pug I can be, and who cares if that means lazy. So upon sum reflection, I have put together these simple rules for the pug life:
Make yourself happy first, then worry about others…you can’t help them if you can’t help yourself
Still, never let your homies down, and don’t forget it
Do not worry what others say about you; be fat, lazy, and wicked if you want
Smelly cheese and cat poop are too good to worry about your breath
Pee where you want, after all, your a dog
Always live the pug life the best way you know how, even if your best changes every day
If life rubs you the wrong way, keep movin until it hits just the right spot.
okay, i’s gotta eat some cheese.

from Ask Chewie: The Pug LifeThe pug plays at home while MaMa goes to Street Scene in San Diego with Kasabian, Dead 60s, Flaming Lips, and the Pixies.
Mama left me alone most of the weekend so she could go to something called Street Scene. She took lots of photos. *snort*
She asked me to share this:
Street Scene Day 1- July 29 - Kasabian and Dead 60s, not to mention the Killers and Social Distortion and the guys from Flogging Molly. Here are some unedited photos of Kasabian and Dead 60s. MaMa wants to thank the guitarist (what was his name again???? Serge I think…) and Ian for their stickers..Ian can have his back if he wants it—-the collection should be whole.
Street Scene Day 2 - July 30 - Flaming Lips and the Pixies..Only saw those two bands and here are the photos.
*snort* Back to me. I was all alone while she was partyin it up havin fun. I peed on her black dress with the palm trees. *snort* serves her right for not takin mah. While she was gone, I had some of my friends over to talk about the faith. We dranks the holy beer and ate the smelly cheese. *snort* You should stop by some time.
