Everybody wants to be a cat.

Pants enjoyed 90% of her Thanksgiving break from the comfort of my parents' cat's bed. 

WINNER!

Congratulations to........JAVIER!!!

You're the winner of last week's caption contest!   But now you actually have to train Lily to give back massages.

And since we haven't done a video in awhile, here's a little home movie of Lily showing me how to get home.  Such a little smarty pants.



CAPTION CONTEST!

And now back to our regularly scheduled....schedule. 

It's Wednesday, so that means it's time for a....

CAPTION CONTEST!!

Good luck - ends at noon on Friday EST!

Lounging.

I dare you to tell her that it's inappropriate that she take up one of two available chairs.

(he was super proud)

Hope you had a great week and HAPPY FRUMPY FRIDAY!

Sometimes she just looks so cute.

WINNER & Cold Weather Blues

Hooray for the entries in our non-traditional caption contest!
You guys rock.

This week's winner is.....VINH! 
Despite a stern warning from the po-lice, Lily's favorite spot continues to be one that is expressly off-limits to her.  What can I say....she's quite the daredevil.

Although, with the weather getting cooler, she's resorted mostly to doing this:

CAPTION CONTEST

Oh, what?  This is supposed to happen on Wednesdays you say? 

Yeah..........................that didn't happen.  Lily doesn't have to follow the rules (see below) & neither do I.

SO, to make your Friday even more exciting, we're going to shake things up with a
CAPTION CONTEST!

This one will stay open through Tuesday, 10/25 @ noon EST.

Enjoy & Happy Weekend!

Winner & Get Excited

Sorry for the delay, folks, but hope everyone had a great weekend!

Congrats are in order for.....JAVIER!  Hooray for his winning entry to the caption contest last week. 
Other blog followers made the accurate protest that this photo could also be best-suited to remain captionless.  I see their point and totes agree.

In other fun news....I got a new iPhone this past weekend.  Which means video capabilities.  Which means a lot more of this in the future:

GET EXCITED.

Caption time!

hahahahahahahahahaha.

Have fun friends......its caption time!!

Contest ends at noon EST on 10/14!

For the Pug at the Beach House When the Floor is Not Enough

Winner & Have a Frumpy Day!

Hooray!!!  Thanks to you all for coming back :)  You guys made my day.

And CONGRATS are in order for this week's winner....JESSICA!

Thanks for your across-state-lines devotion to the blog!

And to the rest of you....a very happy FRUMPY FRIDAY!

CAPTION CONTEST

It's C-A-P-T-I-O-N time!

Contest ends @ noon EST on Friday.  GOOD LUCK!!!

Seriously.

This is what I get to look at for all of October.

And a Happy FRUMPY FRIDAY to you!

Welp, our first contest has come and gone....but lucky for our one entry, we have a WINNER!

Congrats, Vinh!!!! 

And many thanks for your continued reading despite a slight sabbatical from the blog.

And with that....I leave you with best wishes for a HAPPY FRUMPY FRIDAY!

If you're still here.....CAPTION CONTEST!

Woo hoo!  Just wanted to see who stuck around (and/or who reads through Google Reader).  Who knows - could be an easy win this week!

To you old timers who remember the rules - contest closes at 12:00pm EST on Friday.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Aaaaaaaand we're back!



We'll just quietly reenter the blogging world with a quick little post.  And what better way to do that than with street fairs, fall weather and our first taste of doggie ice cream?

It's time for this week's.....CAPTION CONTEST!

Many may enter....but ony one can win.
Will it be you? We'll find out. This Friday.

Contest ends @ noon EST on 7/1.

Wow, I have to commend all of this week's entries.

Auntie A - your entry couldn't be more true. She was FREAKING OUT and practically drowning me with her efforts to get the eff out of the water

Vinh - um, hello Pixar reference. Win. 'Nuff said.

buuuuuuuuut....I'm going to have to go with...

JAVIER

as this week's winner.

For starters, I LOLed, which is always excellent. So, with that and an endorsement from a fellow contestent, it was an easy decision.

Congrats!!!

Anyone else seeing the resemblance to a roasting potbellied pig? AmIright?....No?

Ah, well....happy FRUMPY FRIDAY you all the same!

CAPTION CONTEST - Care for a dip?

Ah. Just.so.many.things.to.be.said.about.this.one.

Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Contest ends on Friday @ noon!

The foot of the bed is for the birds.

WINNER & Breakdown (with a side of Frumps)

Helloooooo and Happy Friday, readers! I am very excited to announce this week's CC winner......

...JAVIER!

He had but one request with his newfound title of King of the Blog...and that was for a quick breakdown of wins for CC entries. And I am happy to oblige:

Auntie A - 13
Lisa N. - 6
Jessica - 6
Vinh - 4
Javier - 3
Emma - 2
Laura N. - 2

Unfortunately, it was only after I started counting that I realized that it would probably also be helpful to note how many entries each person had. For example, Emma has a rockin' win percentage right now, even though she's at the bottom of the list. And Auntie A has at least twice as many entries as everyone else, so BAM to those who cry nepotism.

So....I'll post the entry/win ratios sometime for you as well.

But in the meantime...keep the entries comin'!

Here's some frump for your Friday!

Ca-ca-ca-caption time!

Already that time of the week! Don't be scurred, just write down the first thing you think of!

I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

Contest ends Friday @ noon! Good luck!!!

Wins & Got Milk?

Woo hoo! Congrats to Auntie A for her fun caption last week!

And for those of you who do not get the privilege of looking at the Lily calendar everyday....this is the face that has been greeting me every morning in June:

Amaaaaazing.

STOP.....Caption Time!

Any of you early 90s music fans get that reference? Oh yeah!

Here's another pic from our busy driving weekend....you know what time it is......

CAPTION CONTEST!!

Good luck...we'll announce the winner Friday @ noon!!

Baby's First Swing

***HEEEEY SHINY OBJECT***

.....so.......yeah.

Sorry about the non-posting.

Random excuse #1....random excuse # 2....random excuse # 3...

please forgive me?

Here - I'll throw some random pics of Pants your way and then promise to do better next week.

Pants enjoying our new chairs.



Pants enjoying our bed.
And looking frumpy.
And HEY, it's Friday!
So...FRUMPY FRIDAY!

Pants actually playing with a toy. Kindasorta.

Happy weekend - see you next week (promise).

WINNER & Travelin'

WOO HOO! Thanks for the great posts from last week. I'll have to agree with commenter # 4 that EMMA is the winner (oh yeah, topical humor)!! CONGRATS!

Here's a preview to some of our weekend fun. More pics to follow, but Lily was a travelin' pug.

CAPTION CONTEST - Too Absurd To Ignore...

Well, hello there friends! You still with me?

Ok, phew.

Well, I really put it all out there this week and went with the most ridiculous photo I could come up with at 11:45pm on a Tuesday. So friends...without further ado....

...I give you this week's Caption Contest!!

May the best caption win!
(secret goal = that there's an actual competition this week. You know...I like to set the bar high.)

Ends Friday @ noon - just in time to take the crown for the holiday weekend!!

Lesson = If You Enter, You'll Probably Win.

Sorry for the short post, but congrats to go....AUNTIE A! Her entry teaches us the helpful life lesson that you can't win if you don't enter (and vice versa).

So, I'll do my part and come up with an irresistably ridiculous photo for this week...and you won't be able to help yourselves but to come up with a high-larious caption to go along with it.


Deal?? DEAL.

Caption Time!

This photo cracks me up.

I hope you enjoy!

Caption Contest ends on Friday (@ noon) with the winner announced Friday afternoon!

Good luck!!!!!

Lay Absolutely Still....

...their vision is based on movement.

(if they can't find me, they can't make me go on a walk)

Frumpy Friday!

Well, shockingly, AUNTIE A is the winner with her excellent (albiet solo) submission! Congrats and thanks for playing!!

Alright folks, I gave you a week off....let's try to pull off a few entries next week. We need some healthy competition up in here. You know what I'm sayin'.

But in the meantime.....hope you have a great FRUMPY FRIDAY!

(sorry for the blurriness....but the frumpiness factor is off the charts....I had to post)

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaption time!

HAPPY CAPTION CONTEST WEDNESDAY!

Good luck to all.....contest ends on Friday @ noon EST.

also....SHOUT OUT to Miss Lisa N. - happiest of birthdays to youuuuu!

Picnics are for cool kids.

Helloooo and Happy Monday!

We capped off a gorgeous weekend with a lunch picnic in the park. Pants really enjoyed laying around in the grass and soaking up the sun.

Not too sure how crazy she was about her company.

Alternate title: subtle hints your dog doesn't like you.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Poor girl. She doesn't even resist when I approach her with ridiculous garb anymore.

No Contest This Week

Enjoy the break...and here's a funny pic of Pants.

Winner and Softball Frumpiness

Congrats to.....EMMA!

You're the winner of the caption contest!! Which is quite a feat since one of the three commenters was talking up your competitor. So congrats - enjoy your queendom!!

And it wouldn't be the end of the week without.....FRUMPY FRIDAY!!

Here's Pants gettin' her frump on during our softball game.

Caption Contest - Studious

Happy Wednesday! It's that time of week where we caption it up - you have until Friday @ noon to submit your captions!

I Can Haz Help Wif Ur Laundries.

WINNER and It's a bird....it's a plane!

Goooooood morning ladies & gents! I am just catching up after going out of town and I thank you for the lovely caption contest entries! This week's winner is........VINH! I was oddly surprised at how confused Pants was by the ice cream. Usually, she just devours any food (or non-) item as quickly as possible, but this ice cream stuff really had her confused. A little fun for your Monday: check out the superman pose we've been practicing:

(we're still working on the enthusiasm)
