Xtreme PUG SKYDIVING

this is by far the most insane thing ever

Pug-of-War

This is also a video posted on youTube that I was sure I messed up and it didn't post. But I just saw tonight that it has, and it's had 128 views. I'd say Dougie's regionally famous then, don't you? co-starring Darth!

Hey, I remembered these were up on YouTube. This is my most fave song currently and was a great perf. of it last summer. Haven't been playing much while we work on the record (this song will be on it of course) so I thought I'd share it here (since I haven't a clue how to put it on my own website). Enjoy.

Want to be featured on my blog? Visit Doug.

The esteemed Paige honored us with her presence this evening. Doug was quite smitten with her...

What more is there to say?...

So I haven't made a post in a while. I honestly can't think of what people write on these things. With all the things going on the world, what you want more bad stuff? More weird stuff? And the good stuff just seems a little too...fake, or good or something. I got a prescription yesterday and she said "677" I was like 6 hundred? And no it was actually $6.77. That seemed really strange and too good to be true. I said that out loud as I always do and I think she considered me a little off. I've been getting that a lot lately. Anyways... Posed with my blogging block conundrum, my friend, a blogger of highest regard, profoundly said "just post more stuff about Doug". And, it is true what they say that "A pug heals all wounds, gives company to the lonely and well, freaks you out if you stare at them too long" So here are some random recent shots of the Doug. And one with his best friend Darth. They sumo wrestle like no one else this side of the East River....

Huge-o Giglio

Whoever this Giglio guy is he must have been awesome to have a party like this going on.

Also had some great food here, homemade itialian sausages, made by the Viglotti's a family I teach piano for! and Bracciole, a really interesting grilled pork with pepper crazy hunk of meat sandwich. It was wonderful. I hereby declare that I am Italian.

Getting giggy with Giglio

So we went to this amazing festival this weekend in our beloved Williamsburg. The Dance of the Giglio (not the official name, but what I call it) takes place every year all over the world. I could go on, but really the coolest and most astounding thing is when dozens of Italian men lift this 4 ton 3 story high structure in the air with a 16 piece orchestra on it and freaking dance and parade around with it! (carefully and slowly mind you). All with some wonderful older italian men MCing and singing songs and giving the men holding it their orders. It is a site to see. We didn't have our camera so here's some photos I borrowed from others on flickr.

Here is one of my favorite little smooshy marshmallow friends Dahlia Walker. She is sporting the punk rock onsie that I gave her. My goal is to help all babies rock out a little. And, I am sure that someday soon Dahlia and Doug will be wonderful friends.

Must share the pug love

A photographer roaming around McCarren Park the other day took some shots of our little Doug. Too beautiful a shot to not share. More to come, and more thoughts on many other things too. Look out world, I am a blogger now!

High Time

Howdy everyone,
So, look out now, we're a blogging family! Lots of Doug the pugness to share, and a little bit of art and music too. Love to you all. ~Sarah and BrentyD and DougieFresh
