Hockey and the Sleeping Pugs

No, this is not a story about two sleepy pugs, with tiny helmets and jerseys, who try out for the NHL and end up winning MVP for the 2007-2008 season. And it's definitely not a story about a heard of wild sleepy pugs who decide that hockey isn't just a sport for those of us with opposable thumbs and start a farm team called the Calgary Stampeding Pugs. This is a two part post....


Last night was Mikey's first game as the new Head Coach for the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey team, the Stonewall Jets. Kim, Carson and I thought we should go out and cheer them on as they battled the Charleswood Hawks. I am not sure who was more nervous, Mikey or me. After three periods of bodies being nailed in to the boards, lots of yelling and a few penalties, the Jets emerged victorious by a score of 6 - 3! YAY! I am pretty proud of Mikey. Even though he isn't home a lot, he is busting his butt for something he dreamed of doing!


As for the Sleeping Pugs, I am posting a few photos of them doing what they do best (besides messing up my carpet and having wrestling matches on the bed). They sleep all the time. They sleep in their beds, on the couch, in the middle of the floor, cuddled like babies or pretty much wherever they pass out. We joke that they are our narcoleptic Pugs...one minute running full bore down the hallway and the next dead asleep in some weird twisted position. Week two has gone good so far for Stella. She's a little bigger, a little stronger and still has the appetite of a tiny pony. They make me laugh so much and at the same time make me soooo tired!

Sorry Trace, that was actually me commenting above, Stace was signed in and I didn't realize until her pic popped up.

ADORABLE puggy photos! I'll have to come meet them soon but after my cold is gone. I don't want to leave germs all over your house.

Call me if you ever are going to hockey and want company, I'm right on the way to stonewall!
