DAY 226

DAY 226 pupdate on Tugg: Tugg was making his normal rounds today and noticed there was a bull outside on his fenced area — and in danger of going on the highway. Being a Bull Terrier — and a super hero — Tugg decided he would move that bull right back to the pasture it belonged in. It didn't take long, then he fixed the fence so it couldn't get out again.

I didn't actually get to go to the presentation for the mayor today, but I had my board ready, so it was there and told my story for me! Maybe next time I'll get to meet the mayor myself! If I do, I'll tell him what a good job all the people at animal control do, and how much they care about the animals — after all, that's why most of them do that job in the first place, to help animals!

I'm pretty happy with the way my new board turned out, and I'll be using it when I go to school on Friday! There are a couple of additions I want to do tomorrow on it, but it will be ready for the kids bright and early Friday! I also heard that there was a TV news crew at the mayor's function, and that they were very interested in my story! They said they might come to the school also on Friday morning! Won't that be cool?!

DAY 222

DAY 222 pupdate on Tugg: After watching his normal Saturday morning cartoons, and playing in the yard with the other dogs at the house, Tugg decided that he would help us paint the benches we are making for the waiting area at work. He did well with the paint, and only got a little on his paws, the floor, the walls, the back porch, the hall, the bedrooms...
9 comic panels today.

DAY 212

DAY 212 pupdate on Tugg: Today was another cold day here in North Texas, with the temperatures not getting above 17 F, and Tugg decided that he only wanted to be outside long enough for a quick patrol around and for a short amount of play time. We also caught him looking at various photos of birthday cakes on the internet.

Yesterday, mommy and daddy brought home another foster kitty that needs our help. Today was the first day that I got to officially meet him — I don't think he really likes dogs... yet! Mommy and daddy said I could be the one to name him, and since I was watching Finding Nemo today, I came up with a great name! I will call him... Squishy! Everyone, meet Squishy the cat! Squishy, meet everyone!

 I know I said I wasn't going to upload the presentation that I have for the school kids, but since a lot of you have asked for it, I decided that it would be OK if I did upload it. So, Here is the video that basically tells my story to the kids. After they see the video, then they get to talk to me and my daddy, and they get to ask questions and stuff.

DAY 211

DAY 211 pupdate on Tugg: Tugg finally got around to finishing his video for the school presentation this Friday. He needed it to be five minutes and it comes in at exactly five minutes. He has also been glued to the weather channel, watching as the radar shows more snow slowly making its way toward us. Oh, joy.
1 photo today.

I took this photo a few days ago when the snow was on the ground. I didn't get to show it to you because of some of the other photos I did. But, it reminds me that there is MORE snow coming and it's going to get really cold again! That also reminds me that my birthday is only about a month away! Mommy and daddy say it's on March 17th. Wouldn't it be really neat if we get this snow tonight, but then we get another really good snow a little before my birthday? Like, the first weekend in March? Then go into great weather for my birthday? That would be awesome!

DAY 210

DAY 210 pupdate on Tugg: After the big win from Tugg's favorite football team, the Green Bay Packers, we thought he would just relax around the house today. Instead, we were greeted by a giant cheese statue in the living room when we came home. Tugg said it was a replica of the Lombardi Trophy, but it looked more like a big pile of cheese.

It's hard to believe it's been seven months since mommy and daddy brought me home! What a great trip it's been so far!

DAY 209

DAY 209 pupdate on Tugg: Tugg is in the kitchen getting all his Super Bowl goodies ready for the big game. He's got his Green Bay Packers jersey on, and is making his famous Tugg chili! He's also getting some super nachos together, sausage links and all kinds of chips and dips. Of course the pre-game stuff is on T.V. already...

Today, the TOAST (aka. Tugg-on-a-stick-terrier, aka. the flat me) has an adventure with our recent ice and snow! While I was busy saving people, TOAST was busy saving the day too! A crisis in the city and the real Tugg is elsewhere being super?! This calls for an alternate super hero! This calls for TOAST! (notice thenews chopper overhead getting ready to film the heroics!)

Never fear, TOAST is on the scene! He's the next best thing to being there!

TOAST assesses the situation and plugs the hole in the pavement with his paw! That was quick thinking!

The crisis is averted! Now the city workers and other emergency folks can handle the situation! Emergency people are the real heroes, I'm just glad TOAST could lend a paw!

And, just in case anyone was wondering what Packer thing I don't have, but would be something I would wear, it is this old style Packer helmet. I'm just throwing that out there in case anyone knows where I can get one!

DAY 208

DAY 208 pupdate on Tugg: While we were out running errands today, Tugg said he wanted to stay home and work on his video for the school kids this coming Friday. When we came home, there was thumping music coming from the house, and Tugg was hucklebutting around to a video he had made of himself in a Packers uniform! Guess he's ready for the big game! He is predicting the Packers win 24-17. He also said he wants to get a cheesehead, but we don't know where to get one around here.

The sun came out today and started melting most of the ice and snow away. While that sounds like a good thing, it wasn't all good. I made a friend while I was out checking on things... and he wasn't doing so well with the temperature going above freezing.

My new little friend, Snowy, had a scarf and hat on, trying to stay cold, but the sun was really doing a number. I wore my hat and tried to tell him that everything would be OK. I'm not sure that I was telling him the whole truth!

Snowy had put on his brave face, but I think he knew that today might be his last day around. If he makes it to tonight, he'll be OK until tomorrow, but there's now much hope after that. Poor Snowy!

I was really trying everything I could to make Snowy feel better about the rising temperatures. Then I did something I feel REALLY bad about. I leaned over to tell Snowy that it would probably be OK until tomorrow, and I decided to give him a little wuff lick. When I licked him, half his face fell off! I felt so bad! I was trying to tell him it was OK, and there I was licking him and knocking half of his face onto the ground! Poor Snowy. I'll go see if there is anything left of him tomorrow.
