Story of Ziva into Cinderella

oct 15
Look look!!! I was checking craigslist and found a family who had a pug show up a couple weeks ago. She does not have a chip....apparently had puppies some time along the way, so she will need to be spayed. The family tried to locate her owner with no luck. So they posted her. I sent email.....we met her today.....and now she is part of our family. ***We need a name*** They were calling her Torta (little sandwich, hehehe) I thought about all the different companions from Doctor Who....but none seem to suit her. When we walk her on the leash....she goes all the way to the end....then stands on her back legs and hops. It is funny to watch....so I thought maybe the name ~Bunny Foo Foo~ would work. <snicker> I would love some input and name suggestions.....kind of like when you guys helped up name the beta fish. I would to have a kind of unique name....not something you hear many pugs being called. Any ideas???
======================================
She is a darker fawn....with a black spot on her forehead. I am quessing she is around 4 years old.....she also appears to have had a broken right front leg long ago....doesn't appear to bother her at all.....but of course.....when we get her to the vet to be spayed....we can have it checked out
======================================
  We flipped a coin.....she is named Ziva Ann.
======================================
 
 Bwahahaha. Note....no blanket or sheets. Guess what she did.

She is on the leash which is attached to the drawer handle. She is a runner. Till we get home, she will stay on a leash.

She does understand the word "no". That helps,

Lori Lou keeps checking on me to make sure all is okay. Security issues which I expected.

All three are sleeping.....yea
=========================================
 

So, we all made it through our first night together. Which is not bad considering we are spending it in a motel, and not at our home.

Since I am not too sure how potty trained Ziva truly is, I took her out twice during the night. Just to be safe.

Lori Lou and Arrt mostly ignored her. She stayed up by me.....not by her choice. I kept her on a leash to keep her from wandering and causing mischief. We had a couple barking issues......all of them did. Heck, it is a motel and people make noise in the hall....they are expected to bark.

She sits totally different from my other guys. She always, and far as I can tell it IS always....has one back leg or the other stretched out behind her. 
=======================================
 
Not that it matters much to the scheme of life.....but.....Ziva has been officially re-named Cinderella....Cindie for short.....Arrt and Lori Lou are from the same family......And my mom has Lori's brother, Muggsy. So we were joking about her being the step-sister....which worked its way around to Cinderella. That is a fun name.....and not something you hear a dog being called much....at least not that I know of.

Now I can get her a name tag for her before we leave the big city.

Pugs

The pugs.....oh yes....the pugs.

We have a room on the front of the building.....actually pretty nice view....I like people watching......apparently so do the pugs.....Lori Lou spent about an hour announcing each and every person/dog that walked by. Very kind of her, right?

Then, Mr Awesome brought back some Carl's Jr chicken stars for them. Now that made them very happy. In fact, now they have officially turned up their noses at the dog food I served them. Poor things....they have the opinion they are much too good for dog food. I will admit, I have been making most of their food for them for the past month....I suppose canned food is not all that appetizing to them any more.

Unit A

Next fun thing.....I call AA central office to check on the address of our original home group so we can visit them. They have moved around through the years.

The nice lady on the phones says.....okay.....where do they meet?? Ummmmmmm if I knew that, I would not be calling to ask for the address, right? (I didn't tell her that, of course) I told her the name of the group......she is like, what is the name of the group?? The name of the group (club) is Unit A.

I explain we had it as our home group.....about 22 years ago.....they moved from Burbank to Van Nuys the last time we were in California (18 years ago, or so). So she says.....you don't know they city they are in???? oh man.....I am almost laughing at this point.

I thanked her for attempting to help me.....cause I realized at about this point in the conversation....it is Sunday.....volunteers answer phones on the weekend.....and many times they do it from their home. So she is doing the best she can with the info she has.

I then went online and found them in about 30 seconds. <wink>

Santa Ana......the story starts......

Gto to our Motel 6....Tom had left the light on for us.  :)

============================

I have GOT to share this with you guys. Okay, okay....so here we are at Motel 6. Kind of a nice one too, actually.

We reserved a king bed with micro/fridge set up cause we are going to be here a week. Need somewhere to put drinks and stuff, right?

When Mr. Awesome went to get the room, he checked and got us a double (2 beds) queen room. I asked him to see if they have one....and they did. When we go on trips....the pugs always end up sleeping on the bed with us....experience has proved, two beds are better than one....more room for everyone. <smile>

Well.....we get all set up . Computer online (as you see). He hung up his nice stuff....water for the pugs...... Wait....a.....minute!

Where is the fridge and microwave???? hummmmmm Well.....apparently, you can have one bed and the fridge.....or two beds and no fridge. Now tell me, what is the reasoning in that??? hahahahaha

==========================


Now....to continue the "only happens to us" fun of my life........

Call Domino's to get pizza to the room. First one I find online...wrong one....but they are kind enough to give me the right phone number.

Call the second one.....really sweet girl answers.....yes, they do deliver to this hotel.....except......the system is down and they can only accept cash. Cash?? Who carries cash any more???

Hello Carl's Jr.....they are right across the street from our room. hehehehe

10-08 Lori Lou

She was enjoying the sun today.  A little sun diva.

In reality, she was watching for a jack rabbit or one of the feral kitties I feed.  She thinks she needs to protect the house from them.  

TARDIS cup ~ one of a kind

Look what Marji made and sent me.  

Is it bigger on the inside??  Nope....that is a washrag on the inside.  bwahahahahaha
