Pug-friendly venues are the best!

ESPECIALLY places that also serve wine.  Not that the pugs get any.  or much, anyway.  Sasha had always been a champagne kinda girl, but Cleo and Deedee are more interested in the breadsticks.

Anyway, one of our favorite wineries in Sonoma has a lovely outdoor porch area from which one can sip wine and gaze out upon the vineyards.  It also has tons of breadsticks of the unsalted variety, all the better for a sensitive pug stomach.

mama. is there any BEER???!?!?

that is bona fide glacier-melt bottled water in the background, my friends

Never fear.  The puglets were fully compensated

u will submit to my pugly stare

This pretty much sums it up

You learn quickly, young grasshopper.  The Force of Pug Love is strong in you.

Summer nights....

Summer has officially arrived!  and with it, long lazy evenings on the deck, snuggled up on the pugs' fave lounge chair.  

Cleo always manages to find the comfiest spot.

Now that Miss Deedee is officially an adult (5 years old!), she also seems to better appreciate the joy of sitting still and contemplating her lucky life.  

look carefully and you can see the grey hairs on her chinny chin chin

One thing the pugs do NOT get to enjoy with me are my mojitos.  

mama u never feed us
