Ode to Pugs

Okay, as I'm sitting here in front of the computer and my chuggy pug Annie waddles in, I realize how much I love my little "tootsie roll" with legs(she's as round as one). I figure she's special enough to have an ode to her.
ODE TO PUG
IF Annie were chocolate,
She would be the thickest, creamest, sweetest choclate there is.
IF Annie were a flower,
She would be a big fat rose that had just bloomed.
IF Annie were a racecar,
...well, she wouldn't win any races. She would be to slow.
IF Annie were carpet,
It would be shaggy and warm, so comfy that you would purposely take of your shoes to let it squish though your toes.
IF Annie were weather,
She would be fog, or smog, or something like that
If Annie were a color,
She would be purple. Our plump purple pug.
IF Annie were a television show,
She would be a short slapstick comedy.
IF Annie were a pug,
She would be the best pug ever!
Wow. Can you believe I wrote that off the top of my head? Just kidding...but I actually did write it off the top of my head.
If you want my advice, and if you want a dog, go for a pug. If you want a hunting dog, a dog that will willingly pick up a dead animal in it's mouth and bring it to you, a pug is not right for you. If you want a small lap dog that occasionally drools, and will always be loyal to it's people, then a pug is the right choice... although a pug does lick a lot and likes to run around when you get home from school.
I LOVE MY PUG!

Hic-hic-hiccups!

Today, as I was trying to update my blog since December, I realized that I had forgotten my password. So I go into the "I forgot my passoword" question mark, and it asks me what blog I forgot my password for. I type in the blog address, and it sends me to this! I have no idea what I did, or how I got this blog. Is it a new one? hmmm....
Okay, this might be weird, but it's handy, because one of those unanswerable questions is always: "How Do You Get Rid Of The Hiccups?", right? Right. So here are some answers to that unanswerable question:
*drink a glall of pineapple or orange juice.
*pretend your middle finger is a mustache, and press it under your nose for 30 seconds.
*swallow a teaspoon of fresh onion juice. (ewwww)
*get a mouthful of water, and press your middle fingers into your ears and press firmly. count to 100, then swallow the water and unplug your ears.
*sing opera.
*take seven drinks of water without taking a breath in between swallows. while you're drinking the water, keep turning the glass to the left.
*stick your tounge out as far as you can for three minutes. be careful, one big hiccup and -- ouch!
*close your eyes, hold your breath, and think of the names of ten bald men. it works!
*swallow a teaspoon of sugar.

If you have a sibling or friend with the hiccups...
*tell them you will pay them a dollar if they can hiccup after you say "GO!". They can't!
*out of no where, accuse them of something they didn't do: "you left the water running in the tub!", "you broke the plate!", or "you hit me!!"


Weird but true, all of these will work. I hope that they can help you somehow!
