Thurston Howl the Pug

[Not Afraid]

Here's his first postable pic. (I took a pic of he and Chris sleeping last night that I have to download. It was so cute it made me cry.)

[MouseWife]

Oh, he is just too darling!!!

Congrats!!

[Disneyphile]

AGH!!! I'm melting. Too much cuteness!

[Gemini Cricket]

Oh my freakin' cod!
He is soooo adorable. Such big eyes! Just like your Uncle Cricket.
I looove heeem!
:)

[katiesue]

Awww so cute. Congratulations!

[mousepod]

What a good looking guy.

[Snowflake]

Okay, I am now in diabetic shock from exposure to too much cuteness!

What a sweetie he looks to be.

Congrats!

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wow, I don't even like pugs and he's adorable.

[Not Afraid]

More.

[wendybeth]

It is going to be very, very difficult to say "no" with those big, sweet puppy eyes staring you down.

He really is adorable, and I love his name!

[Not Afraid]

I'm just going to stay home from work today and play with my photo booth. ;)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Thurston Jowls?

[alphabassettgrrl]

He's gorgeous!!! Congrats on the new addition!

[Strangler Lewis]

It is going to be very, very difficult to say "no" with those big, sweet puppy eyes staring you down.



Yes, and the dog is cute, too.

Why is Julian Sands in "Gothic" coming to mind?

[flippyshark]

Awww! I'm officially envious. I can almost smell the puppy breath from here.

[Not Afraid]

Yes, and the dog is cute, too.

Why is Julian Sands in "Gothic" coming to mind?

Pug.....with EYES!

[Capt Jack]

wow. hes a puppy? looks pretty good and solid already.


great expressive face there. many great pics to follow Im sure

[Alex]

Men in Black permanently ruined pugs for me. I can never see one (including in your pictures) and not want to shake some information out of it.

[blueerica]

Hahaha, Alex....

NA, the pug is cute as can be!!!

[lashbear]

(french accent) "Poopeee"

(not to mean he poops all over the place or anything...)

...And an inspired name. I lovey it.

[Morrigoon]

Aw.... look at that FACE!!! SO cute!

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Very sweet - very emotive!

[Brigitte]

Very cute :) Welcome to the world of being owned by a pug... How do the cats like him?

We also have a new dog (acquired yesterday). Robb has been wanting a mini pinscher for the longest time and finally found one. I won't hijack Thurston's thread with pics, but I'll post one when I finally get her to sit still for one.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Looks like an excuse to take post boob pictures. ;)

What a sweet looking doggy! Awwww (AAchooo!)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Aww, wrinkley face! :D He must be really soft, too.

[3894]

Mwah, Thurston dahling!

[BDBopper]

Oh my what a cutie! :)

I love the name too and the first thing I think of when I hear the name Thurston is appropriate somewhat. When I hear the name Thurston I always think of the artist Thurston Harris who had a hit in the 1950's with "Little Bitty Pretty One" with his backup group, The Sharps. Well your cutie is the "Little Bitty Pretty Pug!" ;)

(yes I've been an expert in DooWop since I was sixteen)

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

The dog is adorable!

Also, your tits look fantastic in that top.

[CoasterMatt]

What a cute lookin' doggy! Ethel and Lucy wanna play!

[JWBear]

Awwwwwww....... What a cutie!

Now you need to gat a female, and name her "Lovey". ;)

(And how are the cats coping?)

[Kevy Baby]

So will Thurston be getting one of these (http://www.cafepress.com/lotswag.45413328)?

I can tell that NA wrote the copy:
Surely your dog need one!

[NirvanaMan]

The dog is adorable!

Also, your tits look fantastic in that top.



Damnit. That's what I was going to say. Get out of my brain!!!!
(cept I would have referred to the girls as "b00bies")

[Not Afraid]

I really just wanted to show off the girls. ;)

I took him with me pet sitting today. He played with a Dalmation, an miniature Husky puppy, a chihuahua puppy, 2 black pugs, Toby NGU's Chi/Scottie puppy, 2 ****zsu, Gus the pug, and 2 long haired-dachshund puppies. The pugs all approved. Actually, he was great with all of the dogs. He was EXHAUSTED! Gus's mom was home, so he slept in her arms while I took those babies for a walk. Then we got into the car and he was snoring within 30 seconds.


He's more afraid of the cats than vice versa.

And, he's sitting next to me and just farted.

[libraryvixen]

that dog is so damn cute!! :D

[Morrigoon]

NA: shih-tzu won't get caught up in the language filters ;)

[NickO'Time]

Congrats on the new doggy! How sweet.:cool:

[wendybeth]

Tori is in love.......especially since he farts.:rolleyes:


Him is really cute.

[Not Afraid]

He looks like a little eggroll, which prompted me to say "with six, you get eggroll". I got a good :rolleyes: out of Chris.

[Gemini Cricket]

He's so cute, I want to eat him.
:D

[Capt Jack]

with some fava beans and a nice chianti

*slurp*

[wolfy999]

The cat lady has turned into a puppy person.....congrats!

[Gemini Cricket]

The cat lady has turned into a puppy person.....congrats!
Now she just needs four more dogs to even out the numbers.

[JWBear]

He's so cute, I want to eat him.
:D

"Oh no, Margaret! Too young!"

[Not Afraid]

Five more dogs. Six of each, please.



NO!

[Gemini Cricket]

Five more dogs. Six of each, please.



NO!
Oh yeah, I forgot to count the new girl. I haven't met her yet.
:D

[Snowflake]

Is Thurston too young to have some bacon?

[Not Afraid]

Probably no bacon for him yet.

GAH! I didn't call you back yesterday, SF!

[Snowflake]

Probably no bacon for him yet.

GAH! I didn't call you back yesterday, SF!

No worries, you were busy! As usual!

That pic of the two of you sleeping is way too cute! He looks mighty comfy! Did not take too long to bond, I see!

[Gemini Cricket]

And, he's sitting next to me and just farted.
Just like his Uncle Cricket!

When do I get to play with heem?
:D

[mistyisjafo]

Frickin adorable!!

[Ponine]

Five more dogs. Six of each, please.


I hope someone has room in their house for NA and her menagerie.. cause if this happens... she might not have a roof. ;)

[Not Afraid]

We've entered the "What's that in his mouth?" stage.

[Ghoulish Delight]

We've entered the "What's that in his mouth?" stage.
With the pug, or Chris?

[Not Afraid]

Oh, Chris has been in that phase a LOOOONG time.

[Capt Jack]

kitty rocca? if not, its only "not YET"

[Gemini Cricket]

Yeah, make sure he doesn't eat the kitty pate. Frodo loved to eat kitty poop and goose poop.

[Capt Jack]

ok...I havent a clue why, but discussing a dog eating cat poopage is nuthin...goose poop...grossed me out beyond my ability to imagine

[Not Afraid]

Cat toys seem to be the biggest fascination for him right now. I'm sure poop is next.

[Gemini Cricket]

In Monterey, there are lots of Canadian geese... Frodo loved them. He loved to chase them and, well you know...

[Kevy Baby]

In Monterey, there are lots of Canadian geese... Frodo loved them. He loved to chase them and, well you know...Have deep meaningful discussions with them?

[Not Afraid]

Poor Thurston needs to be snipped. Badly.

[Disneyphile]

Sounds like you've also reached the "What is he humping?" stage too. ;)

[Kevy Baby]

So she is not referring to his toenails?

[Not Afraid]

No, that would be clipped.

[Gemini Cricket]

So tonight I made a new friend. His name is Thurston. And he is the cutest puppy on the planet.
After our Not Afraid posted her pictures here I simply had to meet him. So after tormenting NA for a day or so, I invited myself over to Casa du Swanque and met the new pup.
After paying little regard to his owners, I quickly dove to the floor and met Thurston. :D
He was sleepy at first and all of a sudden his puppy power kicked in and I got kisses and loving nibbles all over my face.
He's soft and cuddly and makes all sorts of noises that make him sound like a cute little piglet.
After devouring my shoelaces, Thurston sat in my lap and got all sleepy again.
But without a doubt, Thurston is a mama's boy. Anytime mom got up and left the room, he would stare at the last place he saw her and wait for her return... as still as a stone lion. So cute.
He seems to get along with Calliope and Charles very well. The others seem kind of skeptical. In fact, Scoundrel made no appearance at all. He was surely pouting somewhere. :D And Jack was downright jealous of the large eggroll sleeping on Lisa's shoulder. Jack gave Thurston the stink eye all night. Hysterical.

I heart Thurston.
:)




And, oh yes, Lisa and Chris were there too. :D

[wendybeth]

Dammit, GC- I owe you some mojo. And I'm jealous! He's so cute!

I can just picture Jack engaging the 'Stink Eye' glare of absolute disdain. :D

[Snowflake]

Great report GC! Glad you made some time for NA & €, too!

[JWBear]

I wanna meet Thurston!

[Gemini Cricket]

I wanna meet Thurston!
It's a must.
He's so frickin' cuuuute!
:)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Love GC's report, can't mojo you babe. Can't wait to see him!

[Gemini Cricket]

I'm having cuteness withdrawls. :)

We took Thurston for a walk and he had no idea what he was supposed to be doing. We took him to the Pee Tree and we stood around watching him. He just stood there looking at us as if to say, "What do ya want from me? I'm a puppy. I'm new here. What do I do?"
I demonstrated, but he didn't quite get it. He'll figure it out.
He's really smart, too. We tried to teach him to sit, and at the very last try he was almost sitting on his own.
:)

[BarTopDancer]

I wanna steal I mean see the puppy!

[lashbear]

kitty rocca? if not, its only "not YET"

Yeah, make sure he doesn't eat the kitty pate.

I'm sure poop is next.

I once made a cake that he'd LOVE ! :evil:

[Not Afraid]

I have a lovely pair of apricots......

Charles and Thurston sillies!


He went for his vet check today and charmed the office. He did OK with the thermometer up his butt, but did NOT like his nails trimmed. I'm glad I had them do it.

He gets snipped on the 14th.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

He gets snipped on the 14th.Do his two buddies get a going away party?

[Not Afraid]

Eh, I'll just replace them with Neuticles. J/K

[lashbear]

Hey, I had a thought....

If he does eat Poop, you can call him Thurston Howl the Turd.

[wendybeth]

You probably confused him when you started the name writing in the sand business. Admit it- you did. All guys do. Only up here it's in the snow.:D

[Not Afraid]

I can't seem to go to a "general" store and not buy dog toys. It used to be cat toys - and if Thurston keeps playing with their toys I'll be buying more of those too.

Tonight, I bought him a giant squeaky stuffed olive (stuffed as in ''plush" and stuffed as in "with a plush pimento"). It's probably a better toy to bring along when visiting friends with a pet bunny then a plush, squeaky bunny. ;)

[Not Afraid]

He's a nut job.

[wendybeth]

He looks so stressed out- I'm worried about him.;)

[Morrigoon]

Awww... puppy belly!

[Disneyphile]

He gets cuter by the minute! I heart him.

[Gemini Cricket]

I want to see him again so I can hug him and kees him and smash his face with the pinchings and the lovings and the cute puppy shenanigans.
:)

[Not Afraid]

So, today I got a tip from MousePod about a dog show on NBC. I turned it on, of course but got quite a reaction out of Thurston. We already know he's not quite "familiar" with the TV, but having actual dogs appearing, larger than life and looking so beautiful, was a bit too much for him. He stood up on the couch, in front of the TV and barked every time a dog appeared on screen. He also didn't like the sound of Chris' phone ringing nor of the trash truck.

I think we lead too quite of a life.

[Nephythys]

"Oh no, Margaret! Too young!"

I recognize this line- why?

[Kevy Baby]

I recognize this line- why?Addams Family (http://imdb.com/Find?select=Quotes&for=Oh%20no%2C%20Margaret!%20Too%20young!)

Sheldon (http://www.sheldoncomics.com/) is a strip about many things, and one of those is pug ownership.

[Nephythys]

Ok- that's hilarous.

[Not Afraid]

Thurston Howl is now Thurston Howl the castrate!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Aww, poor thing. How is he doing?

[Kevy Baby]

Thurston Howl is now Thurston Howl the castrate!Men everywhere are weeping.

[Morrigoon]

Poor Thurston needs to be snipped. Badly.

Thurston Howl is now Thurston Howl the castrate!
These posts landed exactly at the top and bottom of the same page for me... color me amused :)

[Disneyphile]

Did you have the Dane neuticals installed? ;)

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Poor little guy. He's probably not as cocky today.

[Disneyphile]

I wonder if he has the balls to still bark at the TV?

[Not Afraid]

He doesn't know anything mis missing! He's still the cute little bundle of boy he ever was. Sadly, no neuticles were purchased during this event.

[~MS~]

awwwww ..sending him swift healing vibes!

[Snowflake]

You would have never known he was fresh from surgery, he was active, running, barking, romping and ready for all sorts of badness action. He's a great little dog!

[Morrigoon]

NA: Shall I bring Rudolph over on NYE so Thurston can get his bark on?

[Not Afraid]

I own a copy of Rudolph. I have a feeling he's be barking at all of the drunks instead. It's going to be an interesting year.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I'm just happy the little piggy is doing well :)

[Not Afraid]

Yes, he's quite the little piggy. Oink Oink, Snort Snort. Complete with curley tail.

[Not Afraid]

If you aren't tired of Thurston yet.....he's got his own little "world" here. (http://web.mac.com/lisacone/Site/Thurston_Howl.html)

You Promise you wont post this on the internet for the other dogs to see?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

That's an avatar worthy pic, right there.

I dig the use of sepia just because animal eyeshine always bugs me in photos. It's really hard to get good pics of the bunny for the same reason. I may try the same trick...

Thurston Howl, the great profile!

[innerSpaceman]

I referred to as the Hitch Profile today. Thurston was not pleased, until I told him he could have his own anthology show titled "Thurston Howl Presents" and then we all hummed the Hitchcock theme song. TeeHee.
