Mommy and Daddy live in a fourth floor walk-up. Carrying groceries up can be quite tiresome. Thank goodness they got a little helper!

Preston has a nice winter wardrobe that keeps him warm and cozy all winter long.








…and he can always borrow from Mommy and Daddy too!

Moo tubes are by far the weirdest looking treats Mommy has gotten for Preston. These dried beef trachea are not as hard as rawhide so the risk of teeth cracking is lower but they are tough enough to give Preston plenty of chewing pleasure.
Mommy ALWAYS supervises Preston when giving him chew treats like moo tubes, bully sticks, rawhide or pig ears. Hope everyone does too. Mommy can’t stress enough how important this is!!

Mommy and Daddy just love to see how focus Preston is when working on his moo tube.




FYI: Mommy likes to order Preston’s moo tubes and bully sticks from thebestbullysticks.com. For some reason, the bully sticks from them are not as stinky as the ones from other places (if your bully sticks have strong odor, place them in the 180F oven and bake for 3 hrs or longer. This will remove some of the moisture that causes the smell.)

When a puggle would chose a laser pointer over his treats, it is definitely an obsession. When Preston wants to play laser pointer, he does not give Mommy and Daddy any chances to say “no”.
In the old days, he used to steal the laser pointer from the desk and beg Mommy to play with him.

These days, he has a new strategy.

Mommy is a collar junkie so Preston has a growing collection of collars.

It is hard to believe how tiny Preston’s first collar is. It only lasted 3 weeks.


More puppy collars…

For going to the dog park and swimming, Preston needs a rugged and waterproof collar. He wears his Dublin Dog collar.

Each of his collars has its own ID tag.

FYI: Mommy likes to order Preston’s collars from The Mod Dog. The Mod Dog offers a wide selection of custom-made collars at great prices and excellent quality.
The pawprint ID tags are made by www.pawprintpettags.com.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful christmas cards and presents! Preston especially loves checking the mail box during this time of the year. He couldn’t wait until Christmas morning to open his presents. Daddy’s attempt to hide the present Preston received from his puggle buddy, Bruschi, was unsuccessful.

Preston had a great Christmas holiday. Mommy, Daddy and Preston played New Super Mario Bros Wii together as a family!

Preston hopes everyone has a very merry Christmas!

There is a very special ornament on Mommy and Daddy’s Christmas tree this year.

Over the past three and half years, Mommy and Daddy took thousands of pictures of Preston. Instead of storing those precious moments in the computer, they made not one but two photobooks. It took Mommy and Daddy a couple of months to complete the project. The books arrived and made the best holiday presents they got for themselves and Preston!
The first photobook is titled “Preston!” It contains almost five hundred pictures taken since Preston’s first day home.

The second one is a smaller book (8 x 10 in, 76 pages) titled “P for Puggle”. It is a collection of artsier pictures of Preston.

FYI: Both photobooks were designed with Blurb’s BookSmart® software and ordered from www.blurb.com. We went with hardcover and premium paper and are satisfied with the print and binding quality.
Anyone intrested can view excerpts from the books at P for Puggle and Preston!.

Mommy has to give him credit for being very patient and posing for the pictures.

Preston woke up this morning to the first snow of the season.

Preston’s thanksgiving dinner this year looks better than Mommy and Daddy’s.

Another thing making this thanksgiving super special is that the long-anticipated Animal Planet Dogs 101 Puggle episode finally aired this weekend. Preston got a lot of emails from friends who saw him on TV. It was a short appearance but long enough to make Mommy, Daddy and Preston very excited! If you missed the show, you can catch a short online version. All the puggles that made the show are so adorable. Preston attempts to stand out by barking and howling at the camera and it worked!
Preston is cheering for himself.
