Nature Friday with More Snow!


In typical Idaho fashion 
we got up this morning to snow



It is still snowing as we write this post
with bigger flakes


We apologize for our sporadic posting and commenting lately. There has been a lot going on around here
This last week was rough for me and Hazel
Last weekend Hazel got really bad diarrhea. Poor baby was up and down all Saturday night. Mom got some medicine from our dogtor. Just as Hazel was starting to feel better I got the diarrhea - ugh. Hasn't been much good sleep at the PugRanch. I am still on the mend so we are missing an obedience trial today.

Mom got new glasses yesterday.
Because her right eye has been looking through the wrong prescription after her surgery, it will take a bit for her eye to adjust to the new lense.  Unfortunately what she is struggling the most with is reading, including on the computer. 
So please bear with us!

from Direct TV to Dish Network


I kept a close eye on him



and made sure he knew what we wanted


I know Dish Guy appreciated my help


He accepted all my barking orders with grace

Nature Friday


After several beautiful sunny days


we woke up this morning to rain and dreary skies


We did have a nice visitor in the yard


Mr. Pheasant was checking the lawn for snacks


He did not stay long, 
flew over the fence and across the road into the sage brush

Weatherman says we may have snow by Sunday


We sure hope not!

#ChewyInfluencer March Review


For our Chewy review this month
we elected to try

Purina Beyond Grain-Free Alaskan Cod Recipe Canned Dog Food



Your dog deserves the best, so look beyond average dog food and serve Purina Beyond Alaskan Cod canned dog food. This scrumptious seafood recipe features regionally sourced Alaskan cod as the first ingredient, sourced directly from a MSC-certified sustainable fishery. It's the high-quality protein your best friend deserves, paired with vitamins and minerals for a wholesome, well-rounded meal that packs a nutritious punch. And it delivers all those benefits without adding fillers like by-product meal, corn, wheat, soy, grains or gluten! In fact, there are only four primary ingredients in this smooth, savory pate. That means your furball will enjoy a tasty meal that brings everything she needs, and absolutely nothing she doesn't.



Mom loves the easy open pop tab lid!


I love that there are only 4 main ingredients 
Cod, Chicken, Liver, Fish Broth
along with vitamins and minerals



It has a pate texture


And my reaction?

Get ready!


It is a food I would jump up for!!!!

We would like to thank our friends at Chewy.com
especially Miss Natalie and Miss Kristen 
for giving us the opportunity to be a part of the Influencer program and for letting us test so many new products.


We love Chewy!

disclaimer: as part of the #ChewyInfluencer program we were provided this dog food free of charge in exchange for our honest review

Fun at the Health Fair!

Every year Idaho State University holds a health fair


Our training director has a table there.
 Mom & I went to help let people know about 
the benefits of having a well trained dog



There were a lot of people there!
This was our second year helping 
and I was much more relaxed than last year


In fact I really enjoyed all the attention, 
everybody wants to meet the pug!
If there was a lull in the crowd I would start softly barking
"Hey peeps! Come meet me!"



I showed off my puzzle skills and some of my tricks


This is my friend Oliver 


These children enjoyed meeting him



Eleven different dogs came throughout the day
This is my friend Rez


Now for the big question


Some of you did recognize this TV celebrity.

For the rest of you 
here are a few more clues








If you watch American Ninja Warrior
you may recognize 

Lance Pekus



Also known as the Cowboy Ninja

Lance is from Salmon, Idaho 
and will soon be competing on his eighth season of 
American Ninja Warrior

It was really fun to meet him
(don't worry Arty, he doesn't hold a candle to you!)

Nature Friday Sunshine!!




It was a little chilly this morning (23 degrees) 
but after several days of gray, cloudy, snowy, rainy weather



We have Clear Blue skies!!!


Doesn't that look gorgeous!


Of course there is still snow on the mountains

But it sure raises our spirits to see the sun
