FFHT - Earl's Big Adventure

Hey Friends!

I want to tell you all about my trip to California.

There are a lot of pictures so you might want to potty first and maybe grab a snack!

It all started early last Friday morning

Dad dropped me and Mom at the Pocatello Airport

I was sooo excited to fly in an airplane!!!!

It was short flight to Salt Lake City, UT 

where we boarded a bigger plane that would take us 

to San Jose, California

We had a window seat

OMD!  

Look at the view from 30000 ft!

Other family members arrived from Washington, Colorado and Mom's daughter was there too

Saturday we decided to visit 

the

Winchester Mystery House

You can click on the link to read about the weird house that that Sarah Winchester built 

Here we are ready for our tour of the mansion

Unfortunately we could not take pictures inside the house

 this old piano was in the gift shop

And I got my fortune told by this creepy lady

There were some neat trees on the grounds

This huge palm tree

And I got to climb on this cool looking tree!

Goodbye Winchester House!

Back at the house Mom's sister fixed a delicious dinner

and for dessert .....Chocolate Souffle

When it came out of the oven

It Smelled like - Heaven!

Then came Sunday - 

 Mom's Dad loved trains - when he passed away in 1999

 the family honored him by taking a ride on the

Niles Canyon Railway

15 years later the family gathered again for another ride

to remember Mom's stepmother who passed away Mar 1st.

this nice guy was our cab attendant, Matt

He sang us a railroad song as we headed down the track in the caboose we had reserved just for us

Chug - Chug here we go!

The best view was from up in the cupola

Look how far I can see!

Toot-toot! Whoosh! 

there goes the steam!

The recipe books were a big hit!

It was a beautiful day spent with family

then before we knew it

it was time to head home.

Wednesday with Earl

Mom & I made it back from California!

Can't wait to tell you about our trip!

Chewy Review Time

Last week we got 

not one!

butt two boxes from our friends at Chewy

The big box had a bag of food for us 

and 

a new crate pad for Me!

The other box came from the nice

Ms. Sydney with our fun stuff to review!

She not only sent us the new furminator dual brush 

to try out but also some yummy treats

We chose Liver Recipe Low Fat Dog Treats 

made by Fromm

These treats are perfect bite size for a pug

and Mom likes that they are lightly crunchy so they can 

go in our treat container in the kitchen and she doesn't have to worry about them drying out

and they are great in a pocket  - no staining. 

Made in the USA

they have only four ingredients,

Wheat flour, fresh chicken liver, salt, garlic powder.

and one calorie per treat 

We think they are pawsitively yummy!

Now some of you know that pugs

SHED A LOT!!

Mom was anxious to try the new furminator brush to see how it would work on our furs

The brush has two sides, bristles and "pins" 

Mom liked the easy grip handle, but the cover was useless, it would not stay snapped together. 

I found the bristle side of the brush kinda relaxing and it made my furs look shiny! 

Then Mom tried the "pin" side on Bailey, 

who is shedding horribly right now

Unfortunately the brush did not do much to get out the shedding hair. We have short coats and it did not grab the hairs like the regular furminator does.

Mom wasn't done testing though.

When our cousin Willow came over for our weekly playdate, Mom tried the brush on her.

She is a mini-schnauzer 

The pin side worked very nicely getting through her longer furs on her sides, making her look very pretty

(sorry no pictures)

So after our in depth analysis, 

While this is a very nice brush, 

we think it is better suited to pups with longer furs than pugs. Like our friends Frankie & Ernie

Thank you Chewy and Ms Sydney

 for letting us try out these products

Mom's leaving on a Jet Plane

Mom is leaving us today 

and going to California for a few days

There is going to be a family get together

 to remember Mom's stepmother 

who passed away in February. 

Mom worked on a special project for family members

Her stepmother loved to cook so with the help of 

her sister, mom put together a book of favorite recipes

Mom's sister typed most of the recipes 

and emailed them to mom

Then mom copied them into her photo editing software 

and added sunflower accents,

 sunflowers were a favorite of her stepmother. 

Dad brought in a table 

so mom had some room to lay pages out as they printed

Mom printed 2 recipes to a page, 

 front and back

Dad helped her cut pages and punch holes for the binding

Fourteen books! 

It will be a wonderful way to remember her 

every time we make one of these delicioius recipes

Oh Gee! Look at Earl!

He is ready to go to sunny California with Mom

 and get away from this crazy Idaho weather!

And while Mom is away we will be

running in the Mayors Marathon tomorrow

Look out we don't run you over 

with our super fast racing  stroller!

BOL!

Starting line tomorrow at

Murphy & Stanley's
