How was your weekend? Mine was relaxing, as usual. A few walks, a few extra treats via Noah’s highchair, and lots of cozy snoozing…

Noah? Is that you? Please do not disturb…

Ok…not really. But if I still wore a winter coat, I might like this one:
I love the color combo and it would look great with my cream fur don’t you think? Of course, living in San Diego, I’ll probably get by just fine with the coat I already have…

Just wanted to share that Henri Incognito was featured in this treasury on etsy yesterday:

Treasuries are collections created by etsy users of their favorite things with similar themes.
Estudiomartita created this one in homage to her dog Kodi, who recently passed away. I was so honored she included me!

Another thing I did while I was away from this blog: my 2nd visit to the annual San Diego Pug Party! I was so excited to see the other dogs and sniff around but most of all to see my friends, Melissa of PugNotes and her sister Melanie!
Of course, they were excited to see me and meet Noah. Melanie had made Noah this cute bear:

Isn’t it adorable? She makes them from recycled sweaters and they are so cute and cuddly. She will even make them out of your own sweater! You can find them in her etsy shop.
That’s Liz with Melissa there by the way. Melissa had set up her booth and there were so many cute things! It was hard to choose but we got Noah this cute bib too:

Here is Noah checking things out while Jon & Melissa got caught up:

Of course, I had to check out the other dogs. Like last year, there were many pugs in costumes. Here is a little lady looking cute in her dress:

And this guy was dressed as a French Bulldog:

Upon further investigation, I realize he is a Frenchie! The French Bulldog rescue had a booth there. I guess puggies don’t discriminate.

Many pugs were just relaxing and enjoying themselves. Like these two. That cream one must have had a really hard day!

Whoops, looks like Liz forgot to take any pics of me! Here is one we “borrowed” from Melissa’s original post. We know she won’t mind! I know you need your Henri Hopper fix.

She has loads of great pictures of the party, you might as well go take a look at her original post and check out her blog too while you’re at it! It showcases her creative work and the adventures of our puggy friend, Emmitt! They’re always up to fun things, go say hello and tell them we sent you.
See you soon…

Recently whilst browsing the shops of some of those who “hearted” me on etsy, I discovered the work of the very talented Jackie Bass.
Of course this was the photograph that got to me:

The cuteness of this is almost too overwhelming!! She sells the prints to raise money for animals. I don’t know about you but I just might have to have one of these…

My blog has been quiet lately but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been up to much! I’m hoping to be able to fill you in now that Liz has a little more time to spend helping me out with my blogging again.
This winter, when Noah was about a month old, I went on a mini-vacation to Palm Springs. Here I am with my traveling companion, Ken. He is Liz’s father-in-law and we have many memories of good times together when I lived in England. I used to snuggle up with him in front of the fire, chase his cats…ah, those were some wonderful times!

Once in the car, I ride shotgun, of course:

I like to get settled in and comfortable. Luckily Ken is very obliging:

At rest stops, I get in the driver’s seat to keep an eye on things:

And here I am at our lodgings, the Caliente Tropics Resort.

They allow dogs there, so it was a great choice. Liz says the rooms are ok, and the pool was very nice. I spent most of my time just sleeping in the a/c, and venturing out for walks once night fell. It is very warm in Palm Springs, you know.
On our way back home, we drove through the Anza-Borrego desert. Here I am in Borrego Springs. Everyone else had lunch; all I got was a potty break!

It was wildflower season and we wanted to have a look at the flowers in bloom. I don’t see any! Oh wait, is that one under my paw?

That’s about all we found. A slight disappointment, but still it was a beautiful place:

On our way home, we stopped for a treat in the mountain town of Julian:

Is that an apple pie I smell in there?? Yum!

Well, baby Noah has been keeping us busy! I can’t believe he is 6 months old now. We are well on our way to being bffs though:
Good times!
