One of my co-workers keeps calling another co-worker Misty, although her name is actually Mitzi.
“I’m sorry,” she explains. “Misty is my roommate’s cat and I mix up the names in my mind.”
“Do you ever call the cat Mitzi?” I ask.
“Sometimes, but not as often as I call Mitzi Misty.”
“Does the cat respond when you call her Mitzi?”
“No, but she doesn’t respond when I call her Misty either.”

We toasted the new year with a $42 bottle of Moet et Chandon — marked down to $25 at Albertson’s!
Lightning enjoyed gnawing on the cork . . . in fact, when anyone turned their attention away from their champagne glass, he’d stick his snout in and lap up some bubbly . . .
It’s an old joke but does it ever really happen?
My son’s science homework for last night was to build some Lewis dots using Froot Loops. This morning, the dog ran out and managed to take a couple of bites of a Lewis dot before we were able to fend him off . . .
Pugs ‘N Pals holds an annual Pugtoberfest in Costa Mesa, a fun-filled day of costume contests and pug games.
Here are some links to photos and a video from this year’s event:

A great Flickr set of pug photos.
I’ve walked by this store dozens of times at the Irvine Spectrum and it never occurred to me that an extreme closeup of the sign would make an interesting photo.
I guess that’s why some of us are photographers and some of us are sitting around saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
More like this: The photo is from a Flickr set called .:life in “the oc”:.
You can see them here.

Puggles are cute, but a puggle is still not as good as a pug . . .
A guy brought a laser pointer to the dog park tonight so his retarded dog could chase the beam around like a nitwit.
He tried to get my dog to chase it, but the dog just looked back at him to see where the beam was coming from, which is the intelligent thing to do in that situation.
“The pug doesn’t see it,” the guy said.
“He sees it,” I explained, “but pugs are too smart to chase light beams.”
“What does being smart have to do with it?” Laser Guy asked.
“Would you run around the park chasing after a laser beam?” I asked. “You wouldn’t. You know why? Because it’s stupid. You can’t catch it. Chasing after a ball or a frisbee makes sense. I’ve done that myself. But running around after a light beam is just moronic.”

Hi everybody! That’s me, Lightning Epps, subduing an over-aggressive puggle at the Irvine dog park. I am like the sheriff of the dog park; I don’t start trouble but I don’t mind finishing it.
Last week, I was chasing a pug named Blossom around and having a great time when a male husky ran up and started harassing Blossom. These big dogs think they can get away with anything where pugs are concerned.
I snarled and charged at the husky. They never expect that. He got confused, ran straight into another husky and knocked it over.
Everyone laughed.
Then I went back to find Blossom and hump her but she wouldn’t let me. That’s gratitude for you . . .

I fell in love with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel at the Irvine dog park last night. I kept showing off, trying to get her to play with me, but she just wanted to sit by her owner. When they left, I sat and stared out at the parking lot for a while . . .
P.S. I’m over it now though.
