This girl is really playing the part
Lizzy had more bloodwork done at the vet’s yesterday. Look at how pathetic she’s trying to look:

My new pig!!
Seamus’ mommies got me a new pig cause I liked his so much when he visited. And, guess what? They said I could come to their house for a sleep over. That is sooooo cool! We met Seamus at Yappy Hour tonight and I met two new pug friends- Fenway and Pugsley. Fenway said he was a Red Sox fan. Pugsley didn’t know what a Red Sox was. Silly pug! I had a blast. Here are pictures of my new pig. (Mommy didn’t bring her camera to Yappy Hour. Bad Mommy! But now we have an excuse to go back!)

Oops!
I pooped all over the floor today. Mommy was not happy. She was asking me why I insisted on pooping inside. I told her I didn’t know. Then she told me she was sorry for yelling, but that we had some serious potty training to work on when Lizzy left. That kiss up always poops outside. But she did get blood on the floor, so we’re even. No worries to Lizzy’s new family, she just got a raw paw. She was a good girl when Mommy wrapped it up. See, she’s a kiss up!! (But you’ll like her. Even I put up with her.)

She’s sure making herself at home
Lizzie (that’s her name now) has just moved right in. She’s laying all over the furniture, stealing my chews and well, she’s being a pug. And that’s fine with me. I can tell she’s had a tough life, so I’m being extra nice. I even tried to get her to play today. She tried, but she’s never been able to play so she doesn’t know how. But she’s running around the house with me and keeping Mommy on her toes. She’s a fast learner.

My new foster sister
It’s been a while since I blogged, but I’ve been recuperating from my New Jersey trip. The other night I had to sleep over Grandma’s because there was a new foster in. Grandma said she was shy and needed some alone time. So I bunked with Auntie.
I got to meet my new foster sister, Nadia, yesterday. She’s OK, but a little loud. And well, she’s a kiss up. She’s got Grandpa wrapped around her little paw. She sat right on his lap, in my spot, and snuggled right in. I know this lady’s number. Mom said I have to be nice because she had lots of babies and wasn’t treated nice. Very well, I guess I can share a chew or two, and even my Mommy. She just better not go near my baby or the fur will fly.

What I did in New Jersey
I did some of my best napping.

A weekend in Jersey
Mommy and I are hanging out with Kerrie and Lola and Tommy. We’re having a blast. I spent the day napping yesterday while Mom and Kerrie went toHob . She got me some treats and a new poop bag dispenser for my leash. All the cool city pugs have them so I must keep up with the trends. I strutted in the park this morning as it hung from my leash. I know all the dogs in the park were jealous. I bet no one knew I was a suburban pug because I just blended right in.
Lola’s been a little fresh to me - we had an incident with a bone, but it’s ok. She’s my friend and she’s allowed to have PMS. It’s a girl’s prerogative. I"m looking forward to a nice nap while Mom and Kerrie go into the City to meet some of their PV friends.
More later. Check Mom’s blog for pictures.

Please take the time to look at this…
There are some pugs and other dogs that have recently suffered because of an idiot at a puppy mill. Mommy asked if I would post the information on my blog, since I have more fans than she does. Please consider speaking up for those that have no voices. Please note: The is an original post from PV.
Last Tuesday the caretaker at a northern California puppymill called the sheriff to report that 17 dogs had died in 4 days “mysteriously”. All were Pugs and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Animal Control went out and initially said they thought they were poisoned but necropsy’s discovered at least several were beaten to death. I heard from another source that several were mutilated. Upon further investigation, the “caretaker” for the owner of this kennel, has 3 convictions for animal cruelty. Yet Animal Control has NOT been willing to seize the remaining dogs to keep them safe!
(There are at least 100 from what I understand). I have spoken to local rescuers who have been frustrated with this puppymiller for years. They have compiled a list of horror stories from sick dogs being taken out to a field and shot instead of taken to a vet, to rescuing 3 day old puppies from along side a dead mother.
We need to bombard the county officials with letters, faxes and phone calls urging them to seize these animals NOW to save their lives! In my opinion, the blood of each and every additional dog who dies is on the hands of animal control, the sheriff and the DA if they fail to take these dogs from the owner.
Here is a link to the stories:

These are in California on the Pacific time zone
The mailing address for animal control is:
Tehama County Animal Services
Ken “Beau” Beauregard
P.O. Box 38
1830 Walnut St.
Red Bluff, CA 96080
I wish I had email addresses, but I couldn’t’t find any for any of these folks.
PLEASE take the time to write a letter or send a fax or make a call on behalf of these poor pugs. This is the perfect opportunity to close this place down and make sure no more pugs are beaten to death or shot left to die when they became ill.
On behalf of each of the lost souls, thank you.

We’re back!
Mommy and I are back from our trip to Maryland and we had a blast. I’m dog tired but Mommy said I have to rest up because on Thursday we’re going to visit my friend Lola in New Jersey. I can’t wait! I think I’m a pretty well-traveled pug, huh? Here are some pictures from my adventure:
Me and my friend Lucy and Nell (Nell is the black pug), begging for treats.
Lucy and me, on our way to visit some other pugs.
Amanda with all the pugs at Linda’s house.
This is Millie. I didn’t get to meet her, but Mommy did. She’s quite the regal pug, huh?

Fun in Maryland
Hello all!
I am having a blast in Maryland with my former foster sister, Lucy, and her sister Nell. I have been stealing all their toys, including Lucy’s new blue baby. I’m a stinker but I’m allowed because I’m a guest. Amanda and Kyle love me, but hey, what’s not to love. Mommy, Auntie, Grandma and Grandpa have been touring D.C. and leaving me here with my new playmates. It’s a really fun vacation. Today we’re supposed to go to meet some other PV pugs. I’ll post pictures later. In the meantime, here’s some pictures on PV.

A trip to the vet
Mom is very worried about me. She had me at the vet again tonight because I had another episode. I don’t know what she’s talking about but she’s very upset. The vet said I have something called epilepsy. But the doctor said not to worry because I was a strong boy and could handle it. You can get the details on Mom’s blog.
I don’t know what epilepsy is, but I do know that it meants I got some of Mom’s steak for dinner. And our Maryland trip is still on.
Seamus went home
I miss my buddy Seamus. He was a real pal. I even forgive him for peeing on my Red Sox bed. I asked him if this meant he was a Yankees fan and he said no, he’s just a pain in the butt. I kissed him good bye and give him a good yank on his jowels before Mommy drove him home.
Mommmy said this is the look he gave her as she was loading the things into his house. She’s sad to see him go, too.
Tomorrow I get to see my old foster sister Lucy and meet her big sister Nell. I can’t wait to bite her butt.

Three Dog Bakery
It’s Seamus again! Yesterday we went to the Three Dog Bakery. I showed Murphy around and told him I was a regular there at Yappy Hour. He was in awe of my stardom. Then I shared some of Mich’s carrots and ate some treats from the bakery. I had a great day with my pal Murphy. I love this vacation I’m on!
Murphy and I have our seat-belts on in the car, ready for adventure.
I’m telling Murphy how great this place is.
I’m so tired from our adventure! I slept the whole ride home!
