christmas girl (plus, bonus video!)
// 2008.12.03Thought I'd show all of you my Christmas princess all decked out in her new Christmas gear: the Santa coat (read the review) and a candy cane collar (read the review). Longtime readers will remember that Merry's name came from my love of Christmas - she was an early Christmas present to myself and I called her Merry to remind me of Christmas all year 'round.
Plus, a bonus video! So many of you have been commenting lately on how happily Merry plays fetch (I'm so sorry I've convinced so many of you to try fetch with less happy results - but it really did take some time with the princess too) so I thought I'd share a live video version. The howling - to this degree - is new, she's only been doing it more often since her eyes started to get worse the past few months. It's a hoot - but noisy. :) Also, please ignore the pasty white hand in the peach sweatshirt - it was a yoga pants day!
There she is! I've been anxiously awaiting the next Merry picture. The video is icing on the cake. What a RIOT!! I could watch it over and over...she is soooo darn cute I can barely stand it! :)

Awesome! Thank you, Merry, for all the happiness you bring. I wish that you could go to Ottawa and show those idiots how to play ball!

Ohhhhhh, so darling!!! I loved that one little dance Merry did when she backed up. What a funny girl. I could just squeeze her she's so lovable.
Thank u thank u thank you. Please kiss Merry for me.

I love the barking! Every time she barked my pugs would bark and run out the doggie door! Too cute. I love how she pushes it back with her little snuffley nose. Please give her a big squeeze from us.

Awwww yay! Thanks for the post Angie! I was laughing so hard at the 'back up' scamper. My dogs loved hearing her talk and even joined in. This totally made my night - thanks again and big kisses to the princess pug. p.s. LOVE the licking method! :)

She sure does love fetch and she does such a good job. My dog gives up after like 2 times and runs away with her ball. I love how Merry uses her nose! Good trick. Since her little eyes don't work so good she uses her voice now. That is one cute pug, thank you so very much for the video, it made my day. :-D

I was watching this video in our office, and from the living room I heard two pugs howling back. I wonder what Merry was saying! :)
