How To Piss Gino Off 101

"Oh, hi!" says Bruno.

"Want to see something funny?
Check out how quickly I can piss Gino off!"

"What the hell is he talking about?" asks Gino.

"You couldn't make me mad even if you tried!" exclaims Gino.

"Here we go!" shouts Bruno.

"Stop that! Stop running with that stick!" shouts Gino.

"Knock it off! No jumping! Ma said it's bad for your hips!"

"Stop chewing on that stick!
Ma said that's why you have no teeth left! STOP IT!"

"Told you it was easy to make hi mad!" says Bruno.

"I really dislike Bruno even more now."

"I'll get him back. You'll see!"

And because I've been really bad with new Mafioso adventures,
here is a gratuitous Mafia shot for you.

And for the Vinnie fans...
some Vinnie Tongue!

And Gino would like the last word before I end this entry...

"For the record, Bruno didn't really piss me off.
I was already grumpy to begin with!" explains Gino.

The Cats Do Speak Their Minds...

"Seriously, can you explain to me one more time why
you thought it was a good idea to bring
THREE dogs into my home?" asks Maggie

"Because they are cute and cuddly you say?
HA! Boy were you ever fooled!"

Blue says "I think this is the first time I have ever agreed with Maggie!"

"Great...here they come."

"I hope they don't see me here."

"Um, Ma said that no animals were allowed on the couches," explains Bruno.

"Huh? What do you mean you're not an 'animal'?"

"Actually," interrupts Gino,
"I think the rule is that only black animals are allowed on the couches."

"Whaddya mean that's not the rule?
And whaddya mean I can't stay up on the couch?!"

Buon Compleanno, Vinnie!

On Oct. 13, 2004, Mr. Vinnie Williams came into the world. Just having acquired Bruno a month earlier, I had no idea what to do with two puppies. It was madness and fun times all at once.

I love my V-Man. He took the back burner when Bruno injured his hip. He was very patient and understood why Bruno needed the attention. He was also quick to step up to the plate when I needed a demo dog for my obedience class due to Bruno’s early retirement.
He was there for me when I needed him the most.

I must say, the most important lesson Vinnie has taught me is to not be so serious.
Life is about laughter and not about worries. The minute I look at him, he does something that erupts a giggle from me.

I can always count on Vinnie to remind me that it takes more energy to be angry than it does to be silly. Here’s to many more silly years together my smooshy Pug-bug!

Peek-a-boo!

I see you! I see you looking at all my Birthday Toys!

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...hang on,
I'm counting to see if Bruno
got more toys on his birthday than me!

So, what's in here? Anything cool?

Are there any cookies? Or cheeseburgers?

Oh, I do love this one toy!

Mr. Ducky! You are my favorite!

We shall celebrate many birthdays together, Mr. Ducky!

But I am also liking Mr. Bear...decisions, decisions!

I hope that next year, I get twice as many toys!

And as usual, there can never be a Mafia
gathering without some sort of violence erupting.

Figures.

How The Mafia Spends Sundays . . .

I was attacked this morning by a big, white bear in the yard.

Oh, no, wait. That's just Bruno trying to get me to play with his new toy!

"Please, won't you play with me?" begs Bruno

I'm a sucker, what can I say?

"Um, I think I'll just wait until Dad gets home.
You, um, are kind of a weakling with this tug thing."

Then Gino started an argument.
He flopped down on the floor
and proclaimed himself to be the sexiest Pug alive.

Vinnie declared war over that insane statement!

And so a Pug riot broke out. . .

Gino appears to also be the strongest Pug alive. ..

Sensing he was losing, Vinnie unleashes his secret weapon...
The MIGHTY WRINKLES!

Guess The Mighty Wrinkles weren't so helpful!

Vinnie is this close to shouting "Uncle!"

But Gino informs him there are no taps outs in this fight!

Vinnie tries to escape!
Gino pursues to finish the battle...

Luckily, Bruno comes to Vinnie's aid.
He shouts "Everyone knows that ALL Pugs are UGLY!"

"HA! HA!" exclaims Bruno. "Pugs are ugly!"
The Pugs chase him to make him pay!

Gino tries to go for the jugular...
but fails!

"I didn't fail," explains Gino.
"At the last minute, I decided not to kill him.
I know how sad that would make you,
so I let him live."

Back By Popular Demand. . .Break Dancing Pug!

Ryan and I always wonder where Gino roamed before he was found by Alicia and how he survived on the streets. It appears Bruno was also curious on what Gino did to survive and the conversation went a little something like this . . .

"You know, when I was a feral Pug, I survived by break dancing on sidewalks
and people would give me money for my awesome dance skills.
What? You don't believe me?"

"First, I'll do the worm..."

"Oh my God, Ma, make him stop, please!"

"I'm closing my eyes! Your breakdancing skills are horrible!"

"For the love of God, STOP!"

"Holy...that's just obscene!
You didn't breakdance for money...
you showed your Pug bits for money!"

"Bruno's just jealous of my awesome breakdancing skills!"

"I'm tired now. Break dancing is a lot of work!"

Fun Without Ma!

While I slave the day away in the laboratory,
Ryan decided to take the boys on a "Boys Only" trip.

Vinnie looks a little bit too damn excited to be without me!
