Why I’m Distracted Today

(Excuse the sideways photo, its how my phone sent it to my computer and as far as I can tell, Typepad doesn't let me rotate it. Why, Typepad, why?)

Anyway, meet Ally (the fawn) and Buster (the once-upon-a-time black one). Ally is 7 and Buster is 13. Poor old guy is pretty rickety but he is a love. The two of them were raised together and given up by a family who didn't have time for them. Yes, Buster is a bit high maintenance but I love him anyway. It is so wonderful to have pugs and puggie sounds in the house again–Ally follows me everywhere and is currently snoring beside me.

Just the kind of distraction we like! Since it’s been raining, I’m seeing fewer canine-types in my office building so I’m getting my fix looking at your sweeties.

Karen, Ledger, and Roy, thanks! They are great, I’m so in love with them and it is reminding me how wonderful it is to have pugs in the house. Now, if only I could convince my kitties of this…
