Some big Newses for Humpy Day

This be a Instagram dog named Digby VanWinkle. I loves him. Almost as much as he loves that fluffy thing.

Greetings friends, I has been away for many years, or possibly even days. I has a sorry for this, but as you will see, there was a developing situation which I touched on in my last blog post that required me, a camera, and....


my new piggies.

OMD, it is a bacon-flavored dream come true!!!1!!1!

You heared right, I gots THREE PIGGIES all for my personal self! Remember when Mama wented away and left me home with Daddy for eleventy thousand days? She promised me a piggy and now Daddy has, in fact, delivered threefold on the promise! Ok, maybe the piggies live out at the farm, and maybe they no is "technically" mine, but they was going to become mine after I exhibited my braveries to them.

This never happened.

Why, you is asking? I will answer that question.

It is because my pigges escaped. ALL THREE OF THEMS. Like 5 minutes after Daddy gotted them out of the car. They went into the pigpen and then right out of a little hole in the fence. And they ranned away!

Additionally, Daddy tooked Mama's car to go pick up the piggies, because his car needs tires and no has legalities or something, and he had to drive Far Away. On the way home they farted, pooped and throwed up in Mama's back seat. Oh, and also they was riding in MY crate, so now it has been defiled by bovinus exodus.

All week Daddy has been going out the farm and doing pig huntings. He caughted one of them (the one that People Sister named Diamondneck), and to no one's surprise he escaped AGAIN. There is now approximately eleventy pounds of future bacons wandering around in the woods behind the farm.

They's tolded all the neighbors, and Animal Control, and they gotted pig trap from animal control too. My favorite pig retrieval idea so far is getting another piggy with a GPS collar, turning it loose in the woods, and hoping that it will lead us to the other piggies and no get picked up by a falcon or something. They is very little piggies.

Daddy finded pig tracks in the woods today, so they is still around. Can you believe that Gretchen and Daisy is good pig herders?! THEY IS! They helped with the Diamondneck recapture, so I is thinking that it must be pretty easy to herd pigs. I is all ready to go out to the woods and hunt down some piggies. Right after my nap.

I will keep you informed of these situations as they develop! In other newses, you may be remembering a dignified senior dog named Mr. Snoots that Mama and People sister meeted at the adoption fair. Well, People Sister was falling kind of in love with hims. And Mama was thinking that maybe we would be adopting his personal self. Mr. Snoots is 17 years old. When Mama explained to People Sister that we maybe would has to let him to go Rainbow Bridge soon on account of his extreme seniorness, she began to cry and cry. And also the next day. And the day after that. Sometimes she still cries about losing our kitty Kanga, who wented to Rainbow Bridge 2 years ago. She says she no wants to adopt Mr. Snoots because she no can handle the idea of maybe losing him soon. Mama and people sister is planning to do a visiting of him soon in his foster home, which is likely the place he will stay since his foster mom loves him a big, whole lot and already was thinking of keeping him.

This is Reuben, wishing you a very Happy Humpy Day.

A musical Humpy Day

Hello friends, on this auspishious Humpy Day I would like to bring you some beautiful musics. Maybe you no is knowing this about me, but I is a amazing songwriter. In fact, I is writing all of these fantabulous songs that pop tarts pop stars is always stealing from me! I has a call in to my lawyer about this travesty. In the meantime, here is just a few of the #1 hits that I has penned.

Obviously, I was very young when I wroted this song, but I stands firmly behind it as an example of my artistry. This is a rare example of one of my songs being stoled with all of the words to the chorus completely intact (just like I was at this time):




Of course, Adele has butchered my beautiful song "Reuben Has It." Just listen!



Terrible. Here is the correct lyricals:

"Reuben Has It"

I is big; I sprays my pee on the ground
I took my Chewy from you, and now you has a big frown
I likes to chew cause it feels good on my tooths
Now Reuben has it, and I never needs no excuse

Reuben has it (grrrr)
Reuben has it (grrrr)
Reuben has it (grrrr)
Reuben has it (grrrr)

Next up is a song that I was just a puppy when I wroted it. Of course, the lyricals is wrong again:




Here is the correct lyricals:
(*editor's note: People Sister actually wrote this one all by herself!)

"Reuben the Magic Dachshund"

Reuben the magic dachshund lived in a house
He liked to frolic on the farm way outside of town
He has a floppy tongue and a snaggle tooth
And likes to pee on every tree, and has a cat in his house, so back off! 

Reuben the magic dachshund lived in a house
He liked to frolic on the farm way outside of town
He has chewies and beds to keep him satisfied,
And to keep his teeth from hurting, because he only has nine of them.


Clearly, friends, I is owed many royalties from all of these hard works. If my lawyer no can work out the logisticals on this one, then I plans to go pee on their legs.

Happy Humpy Day

Humpy Day Wednesday and green papers for Benny

I is a little late to the table in talking about all the fun stuffs that is happening to help our friend Benny this week. Better late than never for foodstuffs, I always says. Especially if they is from Sasha's food truck!

Madi gots her cool scavenger hunt thingy going on, and there's Frankie and Ernie's raffle, Sasha has fired up the grill on her food truck and made some French foodstuffs, Lily and Muffin is taking guesses on a candy jar, and let's see, what else there is? Oh yes, Lassiter and Benjamin is having some games and a giveaway, Oskar gots a comment-a-thon planned for this Saturday, and.... oh, Mona (and sweet Weenie's spirit) and Sarge has wrapped up their events in support of Benny's medicals. Phew! If I has missed anything, please let me know and I will do an updating.

***update***My friends at the Idaho Pug Ranch (who has been reading my book, and I hears that they is liking it!) has kindly informed me of that the Crabby Girls is hosting a Twister Tournament next Humpy Day, also known as 7/17/13), on Sarge's dogblog of course.

Also I wants to get this message out from F&E about the donation logisticals:

 GoFundMe charges MORE for transactions and Fees than  PayPal does... AND  they do not allow any payment less than $5.00.. 

       Mindy Slimmer has volunteered to allow folks to put donations in for Benny .... using HER PayPal Account.    Mindy will Pay all Fees HERSELF so any funds going through her account will go 100% directly to Benny/Andrea.           It is really simple to make donations using an existing Pay Pal Account.  

Using PayPal to add FUNDS for BENNY....   this will go through Mindy Slimmer's PayPal account and she will send every cent on to Andrea/Benny...  Mindy is going to pay all the fees herself.        PayPal can accommodate any type of currency exchange and convert it to U.S. Dollars.   

1.   go to YOUR OWN PayPal Account

2.  Go to where it says Transfer/Send Funds

3.  Enter   THIS   email address         pugsandpurrs(at)gmail(dot)com             That is Mindy's account address

4.  Enter the amount that you wish to donate....    from $1.00 to.... ????

5.  FILL OUT THE COMMENT BOX...with a) Your Name b) what game(s) or activity(s) you are paying for          ex.  I'm Cloud and I am paying for Sarge's Twister game

6.  scroll to the bottom and click  Send/Finish       

And now... here is a gratuitous humpy day picture.

Shhh... we is having a moment.

Humpy Day Wednesday

One of my very good Face Books friends posted a link to Geico hump day commercial on my personal self's page. And it got me to thinking....

On account of how Wednesdays is known as "hump day," I has a idea to make Wednesdays my very own personal "HUMPY DAY."

Now. I know that in Blogville, Wednesdays is usually reserved for "Wordless Wednesday." Which I LOVES, by the way. I is huge fan of Wordless Wednesday.

But I has to wonder... what would Humpy Day be like? It is rather hard to capture the full essence of a good hump in a photo; sometimes a video is necessary to truly understand the love between a dog and his humpy bed.

I may or no may continue the tradition I just made up, but at least I would like to dedicate today to being....

HUMPY DAY.
