Daddy's Girl

Hi! Everyone. Jemima Jones Beck here. Mom took these pictures of me today, she says that they show that I am a total Daddy's girl...I am not sure what that means. All that I do know is that I love to be sitting on Dad's lap, even if it is 90 degrees out!

Love,

Jemima Jones Beck

No Tongue

Hi! Everyone. Mom says that she thinks that it is disgusting the way that my tongue has been hanging out in every single picture on the blog lately. So, to make Mom happy, here are three pictures that do not feature my tongue (one of them does feature my anus though, so be prepared).
Love,

Hiking in Colorado with Dad

Hi! Everyone. Jemima Jones Beck here. One of the benefits of Mom being gone to work during the day is that I get to spend more one on one time with Dad when he has days off.
Dad had yesterday off and he took me for a really awesome hike at White Ranch in Golden Gate Canyon.
I have some pictures of course.
In this first picture you can see that I sat with a fine example of the Colorado State flower, the Columbine.
I laid in some puddles...
and jumped over others...
and was really glad to be back in the car where I could lay down and take a load off. Happy day.
Love,
Jemima Jones Beck

Hello! and Goodbye!

Hi! Everyone. Jemima Jones Beck here. There isn't much going on around the Beck household these days since Mom got her new job. Grandma Andrea has been nice enough to continue to come and see me on most days, and yesterday she even took me home with her for the afternoon! That was exciting. Mom took these pictures of me this morning before she started getting ready for work. I call them "Hello" and Goodbye" Love, Jemima Jones Beck

Green Mountain Trail

Hi! Everyone! Jemima Jones Beck here with some pictures that Grandma Andrea took on our hike in Green Mountain this week.
I especially like the one where I am hiding under Grandma Andrea waiting for some water.
Love,

Benefits

Hi! Everyone! Jemima Jones Beck here.
Have you other pugs out there ever noticed that whenever a human gets a new job all the other humans that they talk to invariably ask them "...and does your new job offer benefits?"?
I always wondered what they were talking about until today when I discovered the benefits of Mom ditching me every day to go to work.
This morning Mom took me for a nice long walk around Sloan's Lake...
Where I saw my very fist baby winged devil of the season...then we went to the dog park and finally to mecca, otherwise known as PetsMart where Mom bought me...
My new friend, Nibbles. I named my new buddy Nibbles because I like to nibble his little antennae. Mom also bought the cats some new crinkle toys and some cat nip soap bubbles but I don't have pictures of their toys because who cares about them?! Not me. I think that Mom may have taken me on a nice walk, to the park, and to PetsMart for presents because she feels guilty about leaving me all day! Just like you all said in the comments of my last post: Mom leaving me for a job has resulted in treats and toys and extra love! That's a BENEFIT! I get it now.
But the very best benefit of all is that Grandma Andrea has promised to come and see me whenever she can while Mom is at work! She may even take me for a hike next week! I looooooooooove Grandma Andrea so that's an extra special benefit (did you see all the o's in the word "love" ? That's because I love Grandma Andrea a LOT, so she gets extra o's)!
Grandma Andrea brought these pretty flowers for Mom and Dad from her garden when she came to see me yesterday - aren't they nice?
Love,

Giving Mom the "Sad Ears"

Hi! Everyone! Jemima Jones Beck here. Can you tell that I am sad in this picture? Mom says that she can tell that I am sad because I am "giving her the "sad ears"".
Apparently, whenever I am sad my ears practically disappear as I flatten them onto my skull, as illustrated in this picture.
So, why am I so sad? Well, after 8 months of looking and over 1500 applications, Mom has finally found a job! Can you believe that?! All my hard work: eating her resumes, deleting job prospects from her web browser, chewing her cell phone when employers call, all for nothing because tomorrow, for the first time in months and months, Mom will be DITCHING me to go to the "the office". I am going to have to spend most of the day ALONE (well, alone with the kitties). OH, the horror! The horror! I have no idea how I am going to survive!
I had better go start hoarding food in corners and preparing for this apocalypse!
Love,
Jemima Jones Beck
