smart puggie
// 2008.11.24My girl's getting really good at handling the stairs in our house, both inside and out, with her mostly nonexistent eyesight. The one exception, I've found, is outside in the snow - whether she's wearing boots or not, the snow and ice change the textures beneath her feet and everything feels the same... which means she can't quite tell where the stairs are without help. But once you show her where the stairs are... look out, folks. She's a climbing machine. She's so determined, so eager to take any challenge life throws at her. It's a good reminder for me to be the same.





what a good girl, merry!

There's no stopping her from getting out into the world to show off her latest pink furry tweed wonder! You go Merry - a fashionista after my own heart!

What a great photo! I love her outstretched leg and little paw reaching for the next step.
Please let Miss Merry know that her photo actually helped ME with a new challenge today -- in my own little world. Our four-legged friends are sweet, furry angels on earth. :-)

That is wonderful that Merry is doing so well with stairs, she is one super trooper of a doggie. Good luck little one. And BTW Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours, we are thankful for the cute little pug Merry to cheer up my day each day on-line.

Way to go Merry - teaching us that no matter what struggles we have, to let nothing stand in our way! Hugs to Merry.

Poignant and beautiful.
Merry looks regally chic in that stunning pink ruffled coat.
Wishing everybody a wonderful Thanksgiving.

It breaks my heart over and over to hear of her struggles and yet she takes it all in her stride. Very Proud of a Very Beautiful Little Girl. Merry, you make me smile.
