A Pug on Poirot

Recently mom made a new discovery via the Roku box and net flix streaming, the show Poirot.   Its based on the Agatha Christie stories about the little Belgium detective and its dramatized by Clive Exton, the man who made the Jeeves and Wooster series mom is so nuts about.  Now Poirot came out in 1989 but mom is always a little behind the times and now she is totally addicted.  She particularly loves the costumes and the whole time she is watching the show she is talking about the gorgeous outfits and sighing over the dresses.   Then one day mom noticed this:

 Now of course mom started squealing and ran to get her phone to take a picture of the TV screen.  She thought the pug looked just like Tubby.   During all the fuss, we noticed something this fictional pug is significantly more spoiled then us!   I mean there his is sitting on his owners lap inside the restaurant of a fancy hotel, we get left at home when mom and dad go to restaurants, and even though you can't see it in the picture he is eating an eclair!  An eclair!  We have never had one of those.  We are keeping our paws crossed that mom decides to emulate this lady pug owner or to at least reenact this scene, since evidently we are suffering abominable neglect.

  2. From what I understand you need to either time travel or go to Europe (France, Belgium) where they treat dogs like people and welcome them in shops and restaurants. And French patisserie...ooh la la!

  8. GASP what HORRIBLE neglect! I know it is very hard to drag your self out of fuzzy bed in the morning and all the way to kitchen and food bowl, but you must PERSEVERE, my brave friend!

  10. Ah the eclair. We have heard differing opinions about this famous dessert. Dad says they are yummy and Mom says they are not. We've never tried them so I guess we will stick to DQ vanilla soft serve. We know it's delicious.

  11. We're not allowed into restaurants of any kind....bah. And we can't have eclairs. It is a fiction show, so maybe that's the reason.

  12. This pug in the show sure is spoiled! I wish there are fancy restaurants where we can bring our kitties! Not that they want to dine out, but it will be nice to have such restaurant :-)
