I DO!


All it took was one look, and I was head over curly tail.
I'm talking about my love, Brutus the Frenchie.

He's just not a pretty face, but how can we overlook the obvious!

He has quite a cute little tooshie.

It must be from all that running around he does...

I felt like such a lucky Puglet when he professed his love for me.

I wasted no time in confessing my love for him too.
It's hard sometimes having a long distance relationship.

Especially when you have Gunther always peering over your shoulder...

But as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. And unbeknownst to me, my sweet Brutus was out shopping and making plans for our future.

Since he couldn't be here himself, he had my package specially delivered from Ohio..

I was very worried the delivery truck wouldn't fit in the driveway! And how was I going to keep Gunther away from it? We all remember what happened with the mail truck.

I could barely contain my excitement when my package was loaded off the truck!

I wanted to savor this moment without Gunther and Betty asking a bunch of questions, so I opted for a little privacy in the den.

Oh my! A beautiful Tiffany's diamond necklace! Mom, help me put it on.

I feel like a princess.
Before I open this box, I need to read Brutus' letter.

Hand me a tissue, will you? My heart is all in a flutter!

Brutus, yes I will marry you!!!

I am the happiest Pug girl alive! 
xoxo

BRUTUS said...

Sorry it took me a while to respond, Mom was finally able to revive me! Now that I have regained my composure, I can say WOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOO!
I'm so glad you like the necklace (and I think I even picked a good size, yes?) and the ring! Now don't let Betty steal them from you so that she can be all pretending & dreaming.....

So who are we going to ask to be in the Bridal party? Obviously Betty & Gunther are shoo-ins, but beyond that? There's my big brother Mason too. I thought maybe you dad's winery would be a good spot for our big day, what do you think? Oh, so much to do... But planning is a girl's thing, I won't get in your way.

That is big news. I hope your mom has been saving her dollars because I know how much you gals like the lavish weddings. Do you think you can find a gown for a doggie with no neck?
