DAY 334

DAY 334 pupdate on Tugg: Tugg was in the workshop out back, tinkering with his Time Machine, when we saw a big flash of blue light, followed by a muffled POOF sound, and a little smoke. We then saw Tugg run in, stop, give us a funny look and head out the front door. A few seconds later, we saw Tugg run in through the back door again, and ask for a green balloon and a piece of Zinc wire...

I wanted to pose in my new red cape out by the light pole. I forgot I left my time machine running, and it really drained down the charge from the solar array. But, that's not the strange thing! When I looked at the photos that were taken of me, this is what I saw. On the left is me posing in my new red cape. On the right, that looks like me, and that looks like my light pole and fence, BUT I don't have a BLACK cape, and I certainly don't wear a mask! Who is that dog!? Why does he look like me!? Why is he wearing a mask and a black cape in my yard!? Why didn't I see him there!?

DAY 331

DAY 331 pupdate on Tugg: We heard kids playing outside, and later we heard a faint knock at the door. Tugg answered it, said he'd be back later and went outside. After a while we wondered what he was up to, so we looked out the front window. Kids were playing, but there was no Tugg. We walked down the street and found him — carefully and quietly helping a 96-year-old neighbor tend his vegetable garden.

It's kind of hard to believe that it's only been about three months since my sister Shimmi was found and came here to get better!

I almost don't remember that day 11 months ago... In another month I will have been here with mommy and daddy a whole year! Time really does fly!

DAY 327

DAY 327 pupdate on Tugg: Tugg was hanging out in the studio today, and we thought he was working on a special art project he said he was going to work on. When we saw the big flash of light and heard the thunder clap, we knew differently. Tugg said he got his time machine to finally work. Shimmi said he really just went to Miami and back — but didn't travel in time.

I think I finally got my time machine to work! It turns out, all I was missing was two string switches — one for superstring and one for bosonic — to control the rear deflector array, and about three rolls of electrical tape and some shrink wrap to hold it together. Then, under the keyboard, I installed and emergency dampener button, just in case inverse tachyon particles tried to interfere with the normal tachyon field emitted by the time machine. My biggest problem was coming up with a workable quantum theory of gravity... but enough about what I had to fix it — I MADE A TRIP THROUGH TIME! Where did I go? 1957! What did I bring back to prove it? PINK FLAMINGOS!

How do I know I went to 1957?! Because that's when the pink flamingo yard art was invented! It was invented by a cool guy named Don Featherstone! I think, by his name, he was destined to create pink flamingo yard art! Aren't the ones I brought back really cool!?

I just didn't realize how PINK, as in ultra-hot-pink, flamingos were until I was there and saw them on the lawn! Know, I didn't get to meet Don Featherstone, he wasn't there. The receptionist looked at me funny when I asked for him. Then I went outside, and saw something really cool, there was this lowrider going by, and then one of those new Camaros... I wonder if I should go back in time again and take them back. That doorman at the hotel started calling someone on his cell phone when I borrowed them from their front garden!
