Guess who is 11? I'll give you a hint. This silly girl turns everything into a game. She is also very loving and sweet, constantly giving kisses. We adore you, Bit-Bit!
Six months ago, on Thanksgiving, you came into our lives. If you had been able to stay longer, we would be celebrating your 6-month Gotcha Day by giving you extra goodies and a special cake.
Here’s to six months of loving you, Ellie Girl.
I love and miss you.
She loves her duck and banana treats and is obsessed with her blanket, but just uses Rudolph as a chin rest. LOL
Today marks 6 months since Bit and her crazy expressions joined our lives. What a blessing she is. Happy “half” Gotcha Day, baby girl! We love you.
This is my friends beautiful rescue pug called Oscar. He is 13 years young and sometimes gets tired so his mum has bought him his own little green stroller.
I'm on a bit of a furbaby photo spree lol. working with animals and adopting as I go makes my job all the more worthwhile.
Rinsing off the shampoo. You can see there are still some little brown stains under her chin, but in the 6 months we've had her we've gradually washed away the other stains. Nothing we can do about the damage to her eyes, though. Judging from the condition she was in when we adopted her I'd say Beebs was locked in a crate for 11 1/2 years, bred until her body gave out and surrendered to Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue when there was no further profit to be made from her :(
The miracle of it all is that she has such a sweet disposition. She is the sweetest dog I've ever seen ♥
usually i go for the pretty pug pose for a birthday shot...
but this one made me laugh.
lucy got very bored (obviously) as i sat snapping pix.
after this shot...
she promptly returned to her morning nap in the sunshine next to olive and the cats.
happy birthday, lucy.
My friend John Gruver was showing me some shots of his pugs and I was really taken by this one. So I asked him if I could share it on flickr.
Of course, pugs always have great expressions, but these two also have great backstories as they came from rescue groups.
Pip, on the left, was put up for adoption after his owners died, and as is often the case with older animals, he had difficulty finding a new permanent home. He had been in a number of homes over six months and finally was at a foster home with about a dozen younger dogs.
Lady, on the right, has no lower jaw, the result of an fracture the original owner/breeder failed to treat. When she was rescued, the jaw was amputated. She came to her new home in Virginia shortly after that operation.
Other than being a bit of a sloppy eater and drinker, John says that she does just fine and her tongue doesn't require any special attention. Her kibble is soaked in hot water to make it easier for her to eat.
There are rescue groups for most breeds of dogs and cats. For example: www.pugrescuenc.org/ which is a North Carolina pug rescue group.
