Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Romley! (Emma and I have a lot of work to do).
Because traveling alone is so 2005.
C.M. Mayo unearths hidden side of a storied neighborhood as she personally reads her lively account of a stroll through Coyoacán with her pug. "The Essential Francisco Sosa or, Picadou's Mexico City" is a warm, witty and inviting traveling companion for an intimate journey through a vibrant, richly patterned historic neighborhood of that megalopolis, Mexico City. Innovative and informative, the audio version of Mayo's award-winning essay delights the imagination and inspires listeners to take a closer look at their own surroundings while offering a captivating peek into a world that revels in both the exotic and the everyday.
A portion of all proceeds goes to benefit Presencia Animal, a Mexican dog and cat rescue organization.

Today Mom brought me to my October Pug Meetup at Happy Paws. Here I am posing for the camera:
And here I am TOTALLY POOPED after lots of playing. (As my grandma would say, I was "too pooped to participate!"):
I could not believe my eyes when I saw the yummy Pupcakes that awaited me! (For Pugs Only! Not people. It's about time!) They even had a beautiful Turkey made of frosting! These were so delicious, I wish Mom had grabbed me the whole box.
Here I am eating my Pupcake on Houston Street:
Frosting done! Taking a breather before I tackled the [cup]cake:
Mom had to break this baby in half for me, so I could really tackle it:
In the end there were only crumbs....and I got those too:
This week's Ten on Tuesday* topic is: 10 Lessons You Want to Teach Your Kids
As I don't have any kids (yet) I am amending the topic to: 10 Lessons You Want to Teach Your Pets (Post yours - kids or pets - in my comments)
For Emma:
10. You are a 14 lb pug. You should not take up as much room in the bed as a 160 lb person. You also do not need to lay in the bed horizontally streched as long as possible, nose to tail, so that I am practically falling off.
9. When people come over and I try to show them how well-behaved you are, it would be nice if you humored me and cooperated (once in a while).
8. You are a dog, not a rabbit. The rabbits don't want to play with you the way other dogs do. Also, they will not bark back so you do not need to bark at them. Just leave them alone.
7. The shedding is no longer funny.
6. Do not act pissed off when I wake you up in the morning. I am simply C-A-R-R-Y-I-N-G you from MY bed to YOURS where you will fall back to sleep for 12 hours. I on the other hand will head to work to earn money so that you may continue to live the life you have become used accustomed to.
5. You may never be the biggest dog in the dog run, but you'll always be the prettiest (to me). On a similar note, you are not a guard dog. The effort is nice, but anyone can tell from that bark that you could be easily persuaded with some cheese and ear rub.
4. NEAR the potty pad is not the same as ON the potty pad.
3. It would be nice if just once you'd let me eat a quesadilla all by myself. Without any help from you.
2. When I buy you anexpensive stuffed squeeky toy, play with it whether you like it or not. I do not think it is funny that you'd rather play with the roll of toilet paper.
1. I will always love you. No matter what.
For Sam and Penelope:
10. Despite your love of Wellness Fish and Sweet Potato Dog Food, you are rabbits, not dogs.
9. You have spend 23 hours a day cleaning yourselves. You are clean. Now stop. Or else I am going to put you on Zoloft.
8. NEAR the litter box is not the same as IN the litter box
7. The litter box is not an appropriate place to take a nap.
6. Or eat your meals.
5. The shedding is no longer funny.
4. Some less fortunate rabbits end up as coats or stew, be happy with your banana and lettuce.
3. When you are playing in the backyard, and I decide it is time to go inside, it is not funny to run away from me every time I reach for you. This will not increase your chances of getting to play outside again soon.
2. When it is 101 degrees, you do not need to hudle together or lay on top of each other. You are covered in fur. No one will seperate you. I promise.
1. I will always love you, no matter what.
