DAY 733

DAY 733 pupdate on Tugg: We came home today and saw that Tugg had painted himself to look like a skunk. Tugg walked in front of us, acting like nothing was different — just to see if we would notice. When we didn't say anything, Tugg said, "Do you notice anything different about me today?" We said no, and Tugg said, "I painted myself to look like a skunk! I look just like one, except I don't stink like one!"
From the living room couch we heard Ajaxx say, "That's what you think! I don't think you should eat those organic dog cookies any more!"

DAY 730

DAY 730 pupdate on Tugg: We came home to find the house completely full of clocks — cuckoo clocks! Each one was set 1 minute faster or slower than the next, and the ones set to the same time were in different rooms in the house, so that there was a constant cuckooing in every room! We spotted Ajaxx in the living room on the couch, somehow managing to take a nap with all ruckus. We asked where Tugg

 was, and Ajaxx just pointed to the upstairs hideout. Tugg was busy writing in his little note book, and didn't even look up when we walked in. Without looking up, he said, "Isn't it great!? I used my time machine to go back in time to when there was a bunch of cuckoo clock makers, and got a whole bunch of them! Now every time one of those little birds cuckoos, I can count it in my book! I've got to count 960 birds today, and it's still going!"
5 illustrations today.

DAY 726

DAY 726 pupdate on Tugg: We caught Tugg dancing around the house today, with his ipod in and obviously at a loud volume — loud enoug

h we could hear what was playing. So we mouthed the words, "What are you listening to?" Tugg looked puzzled, and said, very loudly, "WHAT?!" Then he took out one of the earphones and said, "Oh, sorry. I'm listening to the super cool them music from my web series! You know a new episode is up today!"

DAY 722

DAY 722 pupdate on Tugg: Ajaxx watched Tugg as Tugg was busy designing his Team Tugg cycling jersey — all the while wearing his Spiderman jersey. Tugg held up different swatches of color and would hold up other next to them, then lay the colors of the drawings. After a few hours of watching this, Ajaxx said, "Hey, I want a jersey of my own too, eh! Can you stop working on yours for just a few minutes and help me do one? I kind of like the Spiderman one you're wearing, so make it look sort of like that, please." Tugg went to his closet and found a blank blue jersey, and took it out to the front porch. 

Tugg called for Ajaxx to come out and look. When he went onto the porch, Ajaxx noticed the jersey and a very realistic looking desert tarantula drawing right in the middle. Ajaxx said, "That is very cool, eh!" Then he picked up a small stick and started to act like he was drawing an outline. "Do you think maybe you could draw a Maple Leaf around it like..." We then heard the loudest, most girlie, sounding scream come from both Tugg and Ajaxx, as they jumped straight up into the air.
Ajaxx, between breaths, said, "You used a real spider!?"
Tugg answered, "I didn't know it would move!"
5 illustration today.

I was sketching out a few things today, because I want get just the right images on the bike jersey I design for Team Tugg, and I wanted to work out some ideas for doing a few original art sketch cards! When mommy and daddy saw this drawing on my drawing table in my art studio, they said I definitely have to put these on the jersey somewhere! So now I just need a few more, and I'll work up a final design!

DAY 718

DAY 718 pupdate on Tugg: Tugg has been going all over town to tell everyone to tune in for the first episode of his WEB SERIES today. He even got out his markers and paint brushes to make his own promo cards, that read "My web series is sta

rting today with my first episode! Tune in today on my Blip.tv/tugg channel to watch!" Then he had the idea that he should do a few promo pieces of art commemorating the debut of his web series. We expect he will do some of those over the weekend...

DAY 508

DAY 508 pupdate on Tugg: 
Tugg woke up from a nap today to find all of Ajaxx' camping gear gone and a note in its place. The note said, "Tugg, I took the ground map so I could find where I'm going across Canada and to the North Pole, which I saw on the map is in ALASKA! That's the place Yukon Cornelius said has gold. Anyway, I've gone to hang out at the island of misfit toys for a little while, and just see what kind of good vibes they've got going! Stop by and pick me up on your way to North Pole. — Ajaxx" Tugg looked at us and said, "Guess I need to work on converting the time machine into a sled..."
5 photos today.

The nice mail lady came by today — have I mentioned that I get to see her a lot more this time of year, so I really like it when she comes by? Anyway, she brought me my very first roll of DUCT TAPE! It is a VERY cool roll of duct tape that looks kind of like paint splotches! A really good friend, who said they want to remain anonymous, sent it to me! So, THANK YOU anonymous friend!

Also, I was doing some adjustments to a couple of projector fuses on my time machine today. I figured I could use some of my new duct tape to hold a couple of the tubes in place in just the right position. All of a sudden, these two cool little fluff balls popped into space in front of my time machine! They said they know all about duct tape and know some really good things to use it for! Everyone, I would like to introduce you to "T" and "T." T is the red one in the soldier helmet with duct tape on it, and T is the sort-of pink one holding the roll of duct tape.

So, I asked T and T what they used duct tape for in their dimension, and they said they use it for just about everything! They also said it comes in all kinds of cool patterns and colors, sort of like my paint-splotchy kind here! They are kind of addicted to it! They also said it was really nice of my friends to send me rolls of it so I can do a cool project! Then I asked if they have a Tugg in their dimension, and what color cape he wears — just in case I met him when I last opened the cross-dimensional portal...

T and T said they do indeed have a Tugg in their dimension, and that T and T hang out with him a lot! They said their Tugg wears a red cape that has all kinds of shiny things on it. T and T also said that in their dimension, Tugg has a best friend named Elvis — who also wears a costume with shiny things on it! I asked if their Tugg has a Duckie, but T and T didn't know what a Duckie is. I'm guessing T and T are kind of like their Tugg's Duckie!

T and T are going to show me how to make a better and lighter time machine with duct tape — as soon as I get more! I think I'll have to go shopping! Maybe T and T will go shopping with me! That will be fun!

OK, so it's time for today's installment of my Christmas Tale/Poem...

'Twas A Night at Tugg's House!

'Twas the night before Christmas, and over at Tugg’s place,

The time machine was a whirring, and spinning in space.

There were flashes of light and whistles galore, 

With no room for more gadgets, well, maybe one more.

The pups were snuggled in, fast asleep in the beds,

While dreams of cookies and bones danced in their heads.

Tugg tinkered with this and adjusted the that,

And hoped before morning he would get a small nap.

DAY 482-484

OK, I missed a couple of days, so I'm going to put a few of them here in one post!

DAY 482 pupdate on Tugg: 
Tugg woke early this morning, because he knew he had a big day at Cowboys Stadium today where he was going to receive the American Kennel Club Award for Canine Excellence — the local presentation. So, he woke up early and made breakfast for everyone in the house. Just about every one had one of his breakfast burritos. Tugg said, "I wanted to make sure everybody could eat them, so it is scrambled eggs, some pumpkin, crumbled hamburger, carrots, cheese and sprinkles."
1 video today.


Here is a video from today's award presentation. I thought you might all like to see it! To everyone who was there, THANK YOU for coming out to see me today!


Local AKC ACE Award presentation

DAY 483 on Tugg: 
Tugg was flipping across movie channels today, and settled in to watching a little bit of Gone With the Wind. At one point he heard one of the characters say, "I do declare." Then, he saw part of the Grapes of Wrath, and again, a character said, "I do declare." Finally, when he was watching James and the Giant Peach, he heard, "I do declare" again. So he started walking around the house saying, "I do declare" either before or after everything he said. When Ajaxx heard Tugg saying that, he looked over at him and said, "What a great idea! I'll do a eclair too! Where are they?"
4 photos today.

Yesterday, I went to Rally Days at Cowboys Stadium, where I received the local presentation of the AKC ACE award! If you haven't seen the video of that, scroll down and have a look. BUT, while I was there, I also saw a lot of friends and met a lot of new friends! This is one of my friends, Vikie, who met us outside before going in! Vikie helps lots of border collies and other dogs in need too! I wuff seeing all my friends!

In addition to me getting the American Kennel Club Award of Canine Excellence. there were some former Dallas Cowboys players who were being inducted into the Ring of Honor at Cowboys Stadium! Here I am with Larry Allen! When he played for the Cowboys, he wore #73 and has been rated in the top 100 players of all time by NFL films!

Then, while I was at Cowboys Stadium, I also sat in with former players, like "Big Cat" Leon Lett — he's on the left as you look at the photo — who was also inducted into the Ring of Honor, AND Billy Joe Dupree, who played Tight End for the Dallas Cowboys. To this day, he still holds the Cowboys record for touch downs by a tight ends with 41! That's a lot!

I had a great time at the Stadium meeting everyone, but I think I might have made a teeny tiny miscalculation... You see, late last night, I wanted to go back in time and watch me getting my AKC ACE award, and didn't want to just look at the video. So, I used my time machine and I did. BUT, when I came back, somehow, I knocked the whole time clock off its axis by about an hour! Some how I made time GO BACK an hour — almost EVERYWHERE! So, until I can figure out how to fix that, all I can do is say I'm sorry, and I'll work on getting that hour back!


DAY 484 pupdate on Tugg: 
Tugg and Ajaxx watched the weatherman on the news, and he said it was going to rain today. So, Tugg dressed Ajaxx in a raincoat, rain hat and four different colored rain boots, and told him to stand out in the yard and wait until it started to rain. At lunchtime, Ajaxx came in and had lunch and asked Tugg how long he had to stand out there. Tugg told him to go back out after lunch — which Ajaxx did. After a few more hours, Ajaxx came in, took off all the rain gear and went to his bed. "If it ever starts raining, you can wake me up. Until then, I'm taking a nap!"
6 photos today.

Here are some more photos from my Rally Days at Cowboys Stadium I got to meet and play with a lot of people puppies! I was really glad they came out to see me!

When people puppies come out to the stadium they always rush right over to where I'm at so they can visit with me! I wuff that! Especially when they have cookies or something for me!

Sometimes I even get to give and get kisses and hugs — especially from people puppies! I wuff those mostest!

One of the most fun things is when I get to tell my story, and the people puppies think it's cool! Then they want to pose for a photo with me, so they can have a neat memory from their day at Cowboys Stadium! I think that's pawesome!

They had a martial arts demonstration at Cowboys Stadium during Rally Days on Saturday! I even got to give one of the people puppies who did karate a Tugg kiss! He really liked it! So, not only were there Dallas Cowboys players who were inducted into the Ring of Honor, but there were Martial arts demonstrations, I received teh American Kennel ClubAward of Canine Excellence and I gave out lots of my magazine, Texas Cats & Dogs Magazine! I'll alos tell you a secret, after my day at the stadium, I went to Nicky D's Crowley for one of the best burgers anywhere! I wonder if Dali Wall Decals could make a life-size wall decal of me in my Cowboys jersey? Wouldn't that be cool!?

I even gave some pawtographs while I was there! I signed 15 pawtograph books and 5 footballs! Maybe those will be really collectible one day — since those are the only footballs I've ever signed! I'll have some more photos tomorrow! OH, and I just want to point out one thing... EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN AT Cowboys Stadium THIS YEAR, THE Dallas Cowboys HAVE WON! I think I'm a good luck charm! Maybe they should bring me to the away games too!
