Pugs are NOT farm dogs...

My suggestion to those who move to the country with pugs, is to not bring them.

Pugs are dumb.

Mine specifically are really dumb.  They resist leashes to the point that they will pull against you into the road, Barking bravely at gravel loaders is sure to make a pug pancake and not the kind Sterling likes me to make, and chasing and yiping at the bald eagle circling the fields will certainly bring a panicked scolding from mommy.

Yesterday was no exception to their stellar intelligence.

Pugs are famous for snarfling.

snarfle; To put your ridiculous face to the ground sniffing and eating everything that: smells good, stinks, makes you throw-up, poop or is chewy.

Yesterday, Izzy and Precious' snarfling got them a night at the B&D spa for dogs!

At the B&D(Barf and Diarrhea)the specialty menu consists of activated charcoal, and spa treatments include things like shoving tubes down your throat and cold things in your a$$.  You get to go home with really expensive food and a super thrilled mommy and daddy, a night for 2 at the B&D is a mere $1499 plus tax.

It turns out that yesterdays Mushroom hunting was a success for all of us.  I found some beautiful Shaggy Manes and Shaggy Parasols,

also some of these beauties that I wasn't sure of, so I didn't pick,

Preshy and Izzy just loved eating whatever LBM's they could find.  Little brown mushrooms are all very similar looking and you could have anything from a night of deliciousness with the fairy ring mushrooms, or a trippin' night with some potent psilocybe, or finish it up in the grave with Deadly Galerina.  It should be noted that most of the random LBM's out there's bad side effects are, getting the trots and vomiting, which is what Izzy and Preshy got to enjoy all night at the B&D.

We are happy they are home even though they are sad little pigs who have curled up next to the heater in the mudroom because we don't need to step in any more surprises this weekend.

Another week at the farm...
