ULTIMATE STROLLIE

Pug Strolling along

Dis eez how I wakes ups.

Wiff a muzzler on ma belly.

Peek-ee-boo

Wally chillin on de couch.

Big Boy in the Back Yard

Mr. Wally does not like those squirrels that dart through his turf. No sir! this is him just before another squirrel-eradication campaign. He never actually catches them...but I think he's more out to send a message.

Walter does it again

So apparently my book is #10 in all of Taiwan! Here is the newspaper talking about top-selling books and if you click on the photo and look towards the lower right...yep. There it is. Of all the books talked about only TWO authors got photos, and why do you think that is?
WALLY IS IN MINE! Sexy beast!

cute boy

this darn dog gets anything he wants. why wouldn't he? look at his adorable face!!

Bisky

PopeMobile

This is Walter sitting in his stroller, which we call his strollie. We got it for him when his luxating patella was giving him trouble and he couldn't walk far. Now it's retired to the dining room, but Walter still loves to sleep in it. I think he hopes we take him out in it again, he used to love riding around in it like a little pope in a pope-mobile.

Walter+LiveTV= DISASTER

click the video above to see what happened when I brought Walter on a live TV talk show last week. We will never be asked back. I think our faces are now posted on the TV Security "DO NOT ADMIT" list. (Walter makes his entrance towards the end)

SNORKLE TIME

Just got home and Wally is sooooo sweepy. He snorkles as he sweeps.

Snuggle Pug

I worry when I have to leave the house that Walter is stressing out. Today I came in quietly and found him nestled here in his chair. He was perfectly swaddled, like a professional swaddler nestled him into his blankets, so I think he doesn't stress out, so much as nap out.

Reading!

I no longer have the Plague, and I am ready to rumble. My reading is BACK ON! I hope you can come. I will be sharing insider-only information on the making of the book - like what snacks I like to eat in bed, and exclusive, totally true stories, like the time my mom stabbed the Pillsbury Doughboy at my brothers seventh birthday party.

WHEN: MAY 26th at 7:30 pm
WHERE: Magers and Quinn Bookstore, Minneapolis
WHAT: Reading for JENNIFER JOHNSON IS SICK OF BEING SINGLE
WHY: First/only reading of the book. FREE and drinks afterwards!

Follw Walter and Me on Twitter!

Wally and I visited my new book!

My new book is for sale and Barnes and Noble said it's #2 in the whole store! If you can, buy one so I can afford a new collar for Wally! You can see his face in the Newspaper article on the table. What a hunk!

King Pug

Walter has been staying with my mum this week and she has named him "the Commandant." I think he's still the king.

Oh, do run and get my...

This is Walter tossing me a casual glance and willing me to go and fetch his chicken-stix so he can enjoy them on the porch.

CHEE-KON LEGS

Chee-kon legs is what wally does when he's about to take a nap. Sticks hid back legs out like little chicken drummies, so we call them chicken legs, or the preferable "CHEE-KON Legs!"

Walter and I made USA Today

Getting a pug was the smartest thing I've ever done for my writing career. Walter is asked to be in almost every article written about my books, and it's a good thing too, because as you can see, his head is as big as mine, meaning every photo is twice as big. Plus, not all stories on books get photos, but what newspaper editor could resist publishing this muggins? Forget the redhead, total side note. This picture was taken by Associated Press reporter, Jeff Baenen. I told him to make "high pitched tea-kettle type noises" to get Walter to look at him. Worked pretty good, huh?

Walter laid in bed with me like this for an hour. It's hard to see his eyes, but he's staring at me. For an hour.

introducing WINSTON!

My little brother and his girlfriend got a pug and named him WINSTON! He is evil. He has superior fighting tactics that far outweigh his little butt and he is clearly the Devil's pug. He came over to the house and bit Walter on the balls, and hung on like a little vampire porkchop as Walter scrambled around the couch, trying to shake the hellion loose. Don't let his peanut size fool you.
He is EVIL.
See? Here is is plotting his next ball attack on poor perfect sweet innocent precious Walter, his enduring and long-suffering uncle. LOOK AT HIS EXPRESSION! Vicious puppy!! Poor Wally.

Lil Wally

Find Lil Wally...This is his post when he's waiting for someone to go into the kitchen and get him a snack.

sweepy wally

I C U

Walter attended a fondue party with me last night, and today he's still ticked at me for not letting him eat chocolate covered strawberries.
