This is a cute picture of Mark, Ryan and Taliana. Ryan can be such a sweetie as long as he is not tired, cranky or obstinent. We have been having a blast swimming at a friends pool and at the beach. I will have to try to get some pictures of us at the beach and the pool. I wish we could take the dogs to the beach, but you can get a BIG fine for taking your dogs on the beach down here. The great thing about taking Ryan to the beach or the pool is we both enjoy the water so its alot of fun, cooling, and relaxing all at once. Another cool, fun, and relaxing place I take Ryan is McDonald's Playland, he has so much fun with the other kids and I get to enjoy the cold air conditioning. Right now our apartment is without air conditioning so its miserable, we only have a window unit in our bedroom so it doesn't take care of the whole house.

Both of My Babies

Taliana is on the Left (behind) and Lula Belle is on the Right (in front). This time they are sharing MY chair which I will have to kick them out of soon.


I Love them but I am the Queen Bee still.

They had their first fight this week over a beef hoof. They knew they were in trouble when I had to clap my hands and yell at them. Taliana wouldn't even take her hoof back unless I gave it to her that way she knew it was okay. I had given both of them their separate little chew hooves and Lula Belle decided she wanted the one Taliana was chewing on, and boy Taliana did not like that one bit. I have been working on a small fence for them in the back of the apartment so that I can watch them out back without worrying about putting a leash on them. We will see if it keeps them in.

My Babies 2

This is my Lula Belle, she is quite the little sweetie pie. She loves to give kisses and love to anyone that she is not afraid of, she is a little timid and shy. She loves to play and romp and frolic with Taliana. She loves to steal our chairs as you see in this picture. Of course Taliana likes to steal the chairs too. Lula Belle is the newest addition to our family, she is a year old. Her and Taliana are our little shadows, they sleep with us, they lay at our feet when we are on the computer or just watching TV, Taliana likes to be either on Marks shoulders or on my lap. Lula Belle likes to either sit behind Mark or on the floor at my feet. We got Lula Belle for me because Taliana was Mark's baby. We also got Lula Belle for Taliana so she could have a playmate and boy do they play hard. They play in the bed when you are trying to take a nap and thats no fun, but the rest of the time they just play all over the house. One day we will have a nice yard for the dogs and Ryan to play around in.

My Babies

My dogs are one of the most wonderful things I have in my life. We Love Pugs. They are my babies. I always heard other people talk about their dogs and think how in the world could they love an animal the way they love a person. They would cry at their death and I couldn't understand why, until now. I love my babies so much that I would cry too if they died. We haven't been able to have children so we have our dogs and we also have a foster son too.


This is Taliana, she is the first dog that I have ever had. She is a big Daddies girl as you see, we call her the parrot when she sits on his shoulders like this. She is the most lovable thing you can imagine. When I come home she is so excited to see me. She jumps up on my legs and wants me to hold her and she licks my face and ears and nibbles on my fingers, because she just has to know where I have been and what I have been doing. She does a funny little thing we call the Pugtona (Daytona 500), she runs around the house with her body close to the ground like a little race car and super fast too, its when she gets super excited. She is quite a mess, we just love her so much. She has brought so much joy into our lives. We decided after having her for a little over a year that we were going to get a friend for her. So we started looking online at other pugs, I started talking to this one breeder and didn't get the puppies that she was selling online but got another dog that she needed to part with because she was afraid she was going to be picked on too much by the other dogs. She was very timid and scared, but she has gotten used to us now. Her name is Lula Belle, I'm not quite sure why I picked the name but it seems to fit. She is still timid a bit, we think she may have been abused by a former owner, the breeder seems to think so too. There was a previous owner before the breeder. Lula Belle is a bit small for her breed so I think that is why the other dogs were picking on her at the breeders. Lula Belle and Taliana love eachother, they play fight all the time. They are so jealous of one another it is pathetic. I will update you with a picture of Lula Belle when I get my pictures of her uploaded on the computer.
