Hug's Work

I wish Hug could like his job more. I think sometimes you get lucky and what you like to do is something that you can do easily. Like me.

Hug loves this city and knows more about it than anyone. He also seems to hate it more than anyone. Hug is like that.

I think his tours are really great and would take them all the time if I didn't have to work. Though I do get to help with most of the tours he plans now and I can go walk them and see what he is talking about. And he points stuff out when we are in town.

Hug works hard. It is too bad he does not have a C.P. Dibbington to tell him how good he is at what he does.

Politics

Politics is one of those things that you are not supposed to talk about if you want anyone to like talking to you. But sometimes you have to.

I want to vote for the best candidate. But I think that the nicest candidate is not always going to be the one who will do the most good things for the biggest number of critters. I don't know which super smart and wise critter said that is the reason for politics, but I am pretty sure politics is about picking the candidate who will make laws and give money to the right places so that the biggest number of citizens get the most improvements to their lives. Hug is rather insistent that it never, never, never works this way.

But even if one candidate is only just a little bit nicer or a little bit kinder than the other and will do their work in a way that spreads that kindness and niceness just a little bit further then that is who I should vote for.

Who that is in this election I have no idea.

Philosophical Wax

Sometimes when Hug gets to waxing philosophical he says stuff like how there are as many different ideas about what the world looks like as there are critters in the world.

Like how everyone you meet thinks everything is about them and gets confused and can't agree about what actually happened or what someone meant by what they said. At least that's how Hug explains it.

Here's how I see the bridge we take to get to our spot by the river.

P.S. I know this is not what he means but I like the picture.

Fun

It seems like I have fun no matter what I do. I know that Hug thinks this is a moral failing on my part, but what is life for if not to enjoy? Lucky for me the stuff I enjoy is pretty easy to come by. I’d be in serious trouble, like Hug I guess, if the stuff it took to make me happy was hard to get.

Next time I will have more details about my life. I will continue my quest to know it better. And to share it with you. Promise.

Old Money

Hug calls the part of town where I live "old money" Villeville. I think he means that if you live here, you have money, but some of the stuff you own got old because you have been rich for so long.

One guy has a shed with a caved in roof. You might think this is a bad thing. But when I passed it one snowy day all the snow had come off and there was still snow on the brand new roofs.

Just because something is broken, doesn't mean it can't be useful. Like Mr. Huggins. When he tells me to stay away from something it's usually because he got hurt by it. He's like a caved in roof with no snow.

Intro

Somebody super important and truly very smart once said that if you want to make yourself happy you have to know your life.

That sounds right to me. So I am going to use this blog to do just that. And you can follow along and get to know me (Snugglypoo) and my very bestest friend ever, Mr. Huggins.

More soon. I promise.
