17 Comments Very cute. I just had time to look at them pretty quick since I'm at work. I'll look and read more later. I agree, that one dog definitely is not all pug. But mutts and mixes are OK too. Posted by greenthumb @ 11:14:2005:02:45 PM CST They allow pug mixes at these gatherings too. In fact, they even suggested we bring Plato because the Bostons this past Saturday were so damn cute and played so well with the pugs, but we don't think Plato would get along with strange dogs all that well. My memory is cloudy on this now...perhaps the pug pictured that I said won the weenie bobbin' contest is actually the one that won the "Musical Squares" contest (similar to Musical Chairs). Anyway, there were two that were a bit larger than the others and probably not purebred that won two contests. Posted by Ann @ 11:14:2005:03:05 PM CST Oh yeah, and a "Puggle" (not pictured...pug-beagle cross) won the "tricks" contest. So 3 pug mixes won contests. A purebred won the costume contest. Kinda makes you think pugs aren't too good with tricks! If old Hieronymus would've been there, we'd have done the "Bagel" trick with him (he'd chase his tail when you'd say the word "Bagel!") Plato has a trick called "Go get the hair tie!" For some odd reason, Plato took a liking to Stan's ponytail holder. He'd try to pull it out of Stan's hair. So what we did is put it on cue, so that he only does it when we say "Go get the hair tie!" What a nutty dog. Posted by Ann @ 11:14:2005:03:30 PM CST Heh...forgot to add to that above post. One time we tricked him with Tim whose hair was short. Tim told him to "go get the hair tie!" but there was no tie to be found. Plato sniffed around the back of Tim's neck. It was pretty funny. Posted by Ann @ 11:14:2005:03:31 PM CST Oh yeah, and Plato is very cute too. Nice necklace. I need to go to Moab someday - I've seen so many pictures and heard how great it is. I know I'd love it. Posted by greenthumb @ 11:14:2005:03:54 PM CST The city of Moab itself isn't all that great--I have some bad memories there...bad motel staying experience during our "honeymoon." But the best part is Arches National Park, which is down the road from Moab. Even if the bad motel experience was wiped from my memory, I would still find Moab a bit uncomfortable, visually. I mean it's GREAT to visit, but that whole region is so...RED. It's red like New England in the fall is GREY and summer in Wisconsin is GREEN. I start to get effected by so much red, my eyes almost feel like they hurt. It's like being on Mars. I do have to wonder if living in a region like that would have a bad psychological effect on people. But yeah, everyone should see Moab and firstmost Arches. Posted by Ann @ 11:14:2005:04:30 PM CST meant to say "New England in the winter." D'oh! Posted by Ann @ 11:14:2005:04:42 PM CST A friend of ours, now passed away, used to live in Moab. Misty, his daughter, told us that they tax outsiders outragously. Locals don't have to pay it. I couldn't imagine living someplace all one color all season. White is ok if it is fresh and sparkly and thick on everything. But not all season! Is Moab red all year? Icky. Cute pics. I would like a small dog, like a pug, but no, we have a german shepard pup who is going to get HUGE. Hopefully by then she will not be so hyper!! Doubtful, but one can hope. I like cats, too. We'll have to wait on that. I'm afraid what Rocksy would do to a kitty (unintentionally, that is). Like the beads! Posted by Dawn @ 11:14:2005:05:25 PM CST Regardless of the general color, I think I'd love it. I'd probably get one of those New York/Paris/Moab bumper stickers. Posted by greenthumb @ 11:14:2005:05:27 PM CST Dawn, I've never been there in the winter, so I don't know if they get much snowfall. But the summer is red and the fall is red. There is not a lot of vegetation on the mountains...it's mostly red sandstone, so there's not a lot of green to counteract the red. Literally, it's like Mars. Imagine Mars wth earth's atmosphere. There was some movie made a few years ago--some space fiction parody whose title escapes me at the moment--that was filmed in an area somewhere in Utah called the Goblins or something. It's not that red looking, but the stone shapes are rather unusual. I prefer the pinky corals in Bryce canyon, and the multi-colored pink/cream/red/purple mountain formations near Grand Junction (Colorado National Monument). I could easily live around there. Posted by Ann @ 11:14:2005:05:45 PM CST OK ... it's now later and I stopped back in to work after working out just to look at the photos better, without attracting negative attention and tsking. It's so obvious you're not working when people see cute dog photos on the screen. The photos were great - you're too hard on yourself. Besides, you had good subjects - how bad could they turn out? My very favorite was the vampire with the unwinding tale. That was LOL funny. Favorite custome of course was the pink ballarina - I like frilly and I like pink. Best facial expression was the very last photo - of Plato. (Sorry LS.) Posted by greenthumb @ 11:14:2005:08:49 PM CST OMG! Don't know if I should laugh to or feel sorry for these dogs, but I guess they're not aware of how ridiculous they look ;) On the other hand, you look really great. Posted by Nico @ 11:15:2005:12:56 AM CST Dawn, I figured the tax on my "party beads" was ~ 7.75%, which isn't that much different than Colorado. Maybe the outsiders they tax is through a lodging tax? Offtopic I know, but everyone thinks Wisconsin is such a high tax state, but sales tax is 5.5%, and even lower in some counties. We like tourists here! Greenthumb, thanks for the photo compliment. Actually, right out of the camera they really do look bad, but because they're digital and I cropped them down (lots of spare photopixels on the cutting room floor) I was able to get better compositions. Nico, dogs sometimes look goofy on their own. I think they have a sense of humour, and if they could understand silly human holidays, they'd enjoy the concept of dressing up too. And thank you! Posted by Ann @ 11:15:2005:12:02 PM CST 5.5 isn't bad at all. We have no sales tax in MT, but it costs an arm, leg and liver to license a vehicle here. ND was cheap! I think that locals in Moab don't have to pay the sales tax, or not as much. They might have a city sales tax. Holy cow, my text keeps disappearing and reapearing. Must have a ghost! But is it your site that is haunted or my computer? I think it is mine. Weird. Posted by Dawn @ 11:15:2005:01:16 PM CST I think it's my site, maybe the CSS I use, does something weird with browsers. I've had that happen to me too. Posted by Ann @ 11:15:2005:01:29 PM CST The trash can is a photographers best friend. Posted by greenthumb @ 11:16:2005:08:39 AM CST Chantz left a game running and it made my computer all wonky. I restarted and the ghost left.
