Chicago!
 

I leave tomorrow for a whirlwind 4 day trip to one of my favorite cities! It will be 4 days of pure Chicago pleasure with a generous helping of pug thrown in. (I'm meeting friends from my pug board.) Thurston is sadly not going with me. I didn't want to travel on a plane with him the first time by myself, so he's staying home with Daddy.

I'm so excited!!!

You are going to visit people you met on the internet? Be careful.

Green with envy.

I know! Isn't that scary!

Oooo, yeah, I would totally never do that!

Will you also meet pugs you met on the internet?

How fun!
Bring me back some authentic deep-dish pizza please. ;)

Before I met Amos, I used to date this well-to-do ugly bootlegger. He used to like to take me out and show me off. Ugly guys like to do that...

I just find it ironic that you are going to a Pug convention without your beloved Pug!

Have a great time! I'm sorry I can't drive in to see you.

Kiss a pug on the thin black lips, will you?

Are you sure these internet pugs are okay?

Have a great time! Chicago, Chicago, it's a wonderful town.

Jealous! Though I was just there. Eat some Bongo Room treats for me, please!!

Whenever I see this thread title, I hear

"Pop"
"Six"
"Squish"
"Uh uh"
"Cicero"
"Lipschitz"

He had it comin'!

Agh! I hate that song. :p I actually love that show except for that song.

NA, did you bring an empty suitcase to bring back new clothes and toys for Thurston?

Or a bitch.

When people ask me "Where's Lovey?" I reply, I'm Lovey. When you ask if "I'll be bring home a bitch?" my response is the same - I'm the bitch. ;)

Am I the only one who finds this disturbing on multiple levels?

Check please!


:p

Does that mean you'll...


EEEWWWWWWW

I wouldn't recommend doing that - too dangerous, and you meet all sorts of undesirable characters.

Especially if they are from Australia

"I'm his mother...<slap>...I'm his lover...<slap>...I'm his mother...<slap>...I'm his lover...<slap>...


I'm his mother AND his lover!!!"

:evil:


I'm with Kevy - eeewww. ;)

I think Thurston needs a talking collar. ;)

I can imagine him saying, "Why yes, I have a large olive. Might you have a large martini in which I may dip it?"

Why am I imagining this dialogue being spoken in Chris' voice? :D :cool:

Stay outta my head! :eek: That's actually what I thought as soon as I typed it. :D

Actually, I hear quite clearly it in the voice Chris uses when he's putting words in Thurston's mouth. Hell, there's probably a pretty good chance I HAVE heard that, or something very close.

With other words besides "olive" and "martini" huh? :evil:

i actually j'ADORE chicago its is my favourite city in the US . it's not that NYC is bad but i felt better welcomed in Chicago than in NYC .

Have fun in Chicago . Say hi to the Hancock Tower for me .

I won a Thurston-sized stuffed pug at a raffle last night. Her name is officially Lovey, so you can all get those awful thoughts out of your head. The only thing wrong with her.......she doesn't snore.

Perhaps Thurston and I can make ring tones as an arts and craft project for the weekend

Not ... taxidermy? I ask because we have an awful lot of taxidermists next door in Wisconsin.

Listen, Museum of Science and Industry has a Harry Potter exhibit on. Going?

A few choice pics:


It was cold and rainy so what did we do?




The Lurie Garden was in full bloom. Awesome!



Lovey on her way home:


When Thurston saw me at the airport he got super excited then IMMEDIATELY pulled Lovey out of my bag and drug her across the dirty LAX sidewalk. (Blury iPhone pic)




My hotel room was on the top floor of the square building behind the Marina Towers. AWSOME location!




I have TONS of pics of "The Bean".




And, of course, a pug. Gracie is a pupy mill rescue and it very shy but SUPER sweet.



The entire Chicago set is here.
