City Market 8.22.09

Here is us on the way to city market in my little hybrid.


Walking with Phyllo at City Market. Took him for a walk out to the river and met a friend. He was so happy socializing with other dogs.


Walking proudly!

Phyllo visiting Flint Hills

Phyllo went with me to Manhattan Kansas for an art show. It seems like he is on the road quite a bit. However, I think he enjoys it.

Portraits of Phyllo

Hi! He is still not sure about his new toy yet. Hes quite handsome I suppose.
Saw two female pugs during his walk today and they were barking as if they saw a celebrity on the street. Phyllo kept walking not even looking back.LOL.


Thought I saw a squirrel!!!! He doesn't bother them at all. Hes not the hunter type.


He loves to give chase to a ball.


Heres his portrait. Just having fun with the camera.


More pictures later. Until then, gotta go eat! Laters.

A Nap after our first walk!

He was happy to be out. He walked right beside me focused on his walk the entire time as he explored the neighborhood and a park close by. What a good boy! Believe me, when I am working on a painting in my studio my pics of him to show his mommy looks like this 9 out of the 10 pictures. LOL.

Once a Upon a Time :-)

We were bursting with joy and excitement as we parked at this Petsmart in Denton, a town in Dallas. Today, we will be meeting OPEY (his original name) for the very first time. We were also excited to meet his foster mom who was such a nice lady who currently fosters 5 pugs at her home. She had Phyllo for two weeks. The suspense was killing us for we didn't know what to expect since this was our first dog. We just hope that he is as calm and as good as his foster mom had described to us. As soon as we walked in we were wondering where he was at. Within a few seconds to our right by the doggy isle came a cart with a pug resting on the front end of the shopping cart with his long tongue and curly tail. It was a moment to remember. He was so mellow, cute with the kindness and grateful facial expression. We bonded immediately. Had a moment to chat with the foster mom about doggy things to get for the 10 hour trip back to Kansas City. I suppose this is it!!! This is where it begins. Please visit DFW's website in Dallas and support by either adopting a pug or donating for a good cause. We hope to have room for another later down the road but for now we have our hands full.


We stopped and made sure he has a chance to stretch and go to the bathroom.
Look at how happy the new mom is. Well Phyllo was her birthday present. She wanted one for a VERY LONGGGG TIME NOW!!!


Here is Phyllo resting and probably wondering why he is in the car for so long.LOL.
Actually, he really was just resting either by mom's lap or in one corner of the car during the trip.


Phyllo is doing well. No accidents and not even one bark or fuss. We were starting to wonder. Well, I am just glad that he was going with the flow. We can't wait to show him around in his new home in Perfect Village. LOL. More to report on his first day and night at the house.
