She’s still here…

. . . but she’s leaving today! Mom said she can’t do our stairs that well so she’s got to go to a foster home that caters to old pugs. (She said seniors, but I say OLD!!)

Here are some pictures of her stay:

She did it again

Mommy brought home another sister. I begged for a brother. But Mommy said she was abused, so I can’t help but share my pad with her. She’s 11. And pretty cool for a girl.

Not to easy, is it Mom?

Mommy thought that getting her annual Christmas card was going to be easy with a few liver treats. WRONG! That little one is my new foster sister, Bonnie and Manny is the reindeer. I’m the distinguished-looking Santa. Grandma was laughing at us during the photo shoot but The Mommy has some choice words. I hope Santa didn’t hear her!

Louie needs a home….

Louise has been with Arizona pug rescue for four months. While his foster family loves him, he really needs a home of his own. Check him out on Amber’s blog.

I’m always willing to help a pug in need.

My new foster brother

This is my new foster brother Grady. He’s been here for two weeks now and he’s a nice guy - except when he whines for Mommy. That’s MY job. Silly little puglet.

My former foster sister, Coley

Coley used to be my foster sister. Now she’s in a new home and the forever sister of Zoe. This is a picture of Zoe and Coley, hanging out together.

Mommy said that Coley had the best home. I kind of miss her, but I’m really busy keeping her son Howie in line:

CT residents: Defeat SB 1080

Connecticut: Urge Your Legislators to Defeat SB 1080!

SB 1080—Regulation and Inspection of Animal Rescues
ASPCA Position:  Oppose
Action:  Please call and/or email your state senator and representative now to urge them to defeat this bill. Click here to contract your legislator.

A bill authorizing the regulation and inspection of animal rescue organizations and foster homes that was successfully defeated in the Environment Committee reemerged recently in the Planning and Development Committee.

SB 1080:

- Would allow warrantless inspections/searches of any private home with five or more rescue animals (e.g., one mother cat and her litter of kittens);

- does not restrict the hours at which the inspection of a private home can be conducted;

- would require rescue organizations and foster homes to apply annually to their town clerks for a $25 license, possibly at the risk of rejection;

- would subject unlicensed rescue organizations and foster homes to fines and imprisonment; and

- provides no clarity on what would constitute a violation—leaving rescuers vulnerable to arbitrary decision-making.

Animal rescue organizations and foster homes often provide the “last chance” helping hand to companion animals in need. While regulations are necessary, they should not infringe on an individual’s privacy rights.

Please call and/or email your senator and representative immediately to urge them to prevent the passage of SB 1080. When contacting your legislators, don’t forget to mention that you are a constituent!

Mom’s a little blue

My foster sister is going to her new home this weekend to see how she gets along with her new sister, Zoe. Mom’s a little blue about this. She loves me, but she liked having a little girl in her life. I gave her extra cuddles last night because I knew she was sad. She said I was the best cuddler.
But Coley is a good cuddler, too:

But I’m sure mom will be plenty distracted when my new brother comes. We’re getting a new puppy soon! I’m going to be a big brother to this little guy:

Ok fine, she is a little bit cute

Mommy made my foster sister a new blankie. She really likes it. She does kind of look cuddley in it, huh? This morning she decided I was more cuddley than her blanket though. (I didn’t really complain since it was chilly this morning.

A Tribute to Seniors

I’m posting this on Murphy’s blog. He gave me permission. There is a remarkable woman on my pug board that takes in all the pugs that people put their noses up at. “Give me your tired your poor....”

She took in John Ott in 2005 with another older pug, Thalia. John Ott a brave senior fawn pug whose had a rough life. Ellen of the Tall Grass posts the most wonderful stories about him and the rest of her gang. Here is a post from yesterday:

“No one, now alive on this planet, knows how old John Ott really is. His gait is far from spry, he is blind and has been so for since before I met him. But no one has ever quantified his courage or devotion to duty. Last night was cold, raw cold, and rather than sleep on the big bed I chose to sleep wrapped up in an old quilt on the love seat in the front room. A few of the pugs slept beside me, under an edge of the quilt. But John Ott not finding me asleep in bed beside his thick quilt covered cushion, limped and staggered out to be with me. And I found him wrapped inside my quilt, asleep at my feet this morning. A loving gesture from a brave dog. Think senior, think rescue.”

In rescue we find so many seniors are cast aside when they are beyond their “prime.” I think the senior years are the prime time. They are loyal and loving, calm and comforting. Think about offering a retirement home to a loving senior pug.

Look at her belly!

When I started to get chubby, Mommy put me on a diet. Coley is getting very chubby and Mommy just feeds her more! RUDE! I have no idea what puppies have to do with her belly. Mommy said she’d tell me all about the birds and the bees later.

Here’s me being a little devil. Come on Mom! Trade you for a cookie!

My new foster sister Coley

This is my new foster sister Coley. She’s here and done plenty of kissing up to Mommy. Mommy keeps calling her “my little mommy.” It’s pathetic. But I must be nice, Santa is watching. And besides, she needs some extra love. Mommy said Coley may be a mommy soon herself.
