Oh. My. Goodness. Remember this silly picture of my little Alfred? Well, I came home tonight to discover that Inslee (an incredibly talented illustrator whose work I just adore!) was inspired to paint my baby boy! Doesn’t he look dashing?! I keep telling him he’s famous, but he just tilts his head and looks puzzled (such a humble pup…). Thank you, Inslee!!!
Okay, so if you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram you’ve already seen this pic, but on the chance you didn’t I simply had to share :) I found him at a boutique in Berkeley this morning and he’s officially the Armour family’s first Christmas ornament. Let the collecting begin!
How do you decorate your tree? Do you have a theme? I’m trying to decide whether to buy ribbons, garlands, bulbs…? Help!
I stumbled across these festive pup pillows on Williams-Sonoma this weekend and naturally fell head over heels for the pug. Though I must say, the scottie is rather dashing too… Needlepoint, so granny chic!
I have a busy night ahead, but I couldn’t go on any longer without sharing our good news—we adopted another pug just last night! Alfred now has a big brother named Wallace. He is three years old and has the most charming, wrinkly old-man face. We love him to pieces and he is ridiculously sweet and well-behaved. He can even sit, shake and lay (we’re hoping he can teach Alfred…)! Anyway, above are some polaroids Mr. Armour snapped today of our babies (and my Sperry’s). Welcome Wallace to the Armour family : )
P.S. We adopted him through PROS, if you live in the San Francisco bay area you should check them out! Wallace was going to be put down at a pound and PROS rescued him on Christmas Eve. He was with a wonderful foster family until we brought him home last night. Such a happy ending! Thank you, PROS!
This morning an oh-so-thoughtful reader (thank you, Stacey!) emailed me this charming Raymond Meier spread from an old issue of Vogue. I actually have the last shot saved in my inspiration files (clearly I’ve long been a pug fanatic in the making…). Hope they make you smile!
