I Want a Pug Puppy!
So you want a Puppy Not just any Puppy You want a Pug Puppy! If your answer is “Yes, OMG, I want one of those cute little Pug Puppys!” Then my question to you is “Why?” Is it because you “think”… Pugs are undeniably irresistible? Pugs have the cutest squishy faces and the most expressive eyes? Pugs don’t require much exercise and would be happy just to share the couch with you? Pugs don’t shed? As a pug parent...
Help, I Have Bed Pugs!
Help, I Have Bed Pugs! What do you do when you have a bed pug? Have you ever had bed pugs? Once bed pugs have invaded, can they be removed? Someone with a bed pug infestation asked for my help. They wanted to know if I had suggestions as to how to remove a bed pug, and if it was even possible? The following is my bed pug story, it may not be as severe as some with bed pugs, but I think the potential is there. First, let’s define a Bed...
Things My Pug Has Taught Me
[Tweet theme=”basic-border”]Things My Pug Has Taught Me[/Tweet] Before my pug Edie, I had not had a small dog. I’ve had a Golden Retriever, I grew up with a Doberman, and for a time, I lived on a farm with a variety of large dogs. So when Edie the Pug came into my life she taught me all about what’s known as “The Pug Life”, but most importantly, she taught me I could not live without a pug. The following is just a sample...
#PugsTakeChicago – with Reporter Felix Pugzu
Pug parents have a very special, and if I dare say, crazy bond. There is just something about being a pug parent to these silly, crazy, full of love, clown like, constantly attached to our sides, bundles of squishiness! Of course “pug people” being who we are, love to meet up, socialize and get the pugs together! This past May was no exception. Pugs and their humans took over Chicago at an event called #PugsTakeChicago....

Does the Size of Your Dog Matter?
Do you consider yourself a “Big Dog” person, or a “Little Dog” person? Is there such a thing? Does the size of your dog matter? When growing up all the dogs in my life happened to be large dogs. I don’t think it was a conscience decision; it just seemed to happen that way. Living on a farm for several years the dogs we had there were always large. We didn’t exactly choose these dogs, many came from people that lived in the city and...

Before – During – After, A Pug’s Weight Loss Journey Continues
Before – During – After A Pug’s Weight Loss Journey Continues It’s no secret Edie has been on a weight loss journey. I have been quite open about it, the struggles along the way, as well as the success she has achieved. Some pet parents may be in denial about their pet needing to loose weight, even making excuses, and some truly not seeing their pet as over weight. We can come up with all sorts’ reasons...
OAVT Conference 2015
I love going on adventures and meeting new friends, so when I was given the opportunity to attend the OAVT conference in Niagara Falls with Royal Canin Canada this month I jumped at the chance. The Falls may have been frozen over but there was no lack of warmth and cuddles from the technicians! These great group of humans were there to learn about new veterinary products and to attend seminars full of information to assist them in...
Lumps, Bumps and Cysts in Dogs – When the Vet says “Oh”
Lumps, Bumps and Cysts in Dogs A few days before Edie’s annual check up I noticed a cyst-like bump on her face. There it was, hidden under her face fold, just above her nose. As much as I keep an eye on her face folds and wipe them on a daily basis, they occasionally get sore and I need to treat with cream, but this time it was different. It was not the usual sore skin, but a red bump. She did not seem bothered by it, it did not...
Questions from the “Dog Side” My Interview with Dr. Ryan Llera DVM
Time to turn the exam room table! Questions for the Dog Side My Interview with Dr. Ryan Llera DVM This week I turn the exam room tables and ask questions from the dog side, as I interview Dr. Ryan Llera. We discuss needles, cold thermometers and whose the better patient – cats or dogs. 1) What’s your favourite part of being a vet? Excellent question. I really love surgery!! A chance to cut is a chance to cure. Whether...
Pet Rescue Stories – After They Go Home – Lacey’s Story
I have done several posts, sent numerous tweets and posted many pictures on my Facebook page of pets looking for their forever homes. Some of those pets have been lucky enough to have found that someone special to take them in and care for them. However, I don’t hear about their lives afterwards. I wonder about them; are they happy, have they settled in alright, do they now have other furfriends to play with? So I decided to...
5000! Thank You!
It all started July 20, 2012 at 2:20pm My very first tweet! Little did I know what a ride it would be over the next couple of years! I thought maybe I’ll meet a few other dog friends, we could woof with each other once in a while, share common interests; our love of food and toys, discuss how I spend the days with my humom and what it’s like living with 2 cats. In my wildest dreams I never thought I would be writing...

Emotional Pug Humom – Update
Well it’s been almost 3 weeks since Edie injured her shoulder. I was beginning to think Edie was getting to used to being pampered, carried up and down stairs, treated like a pug princess 😉 Can pugs “fake it” just so they can receive continued attention? I wouldn’t put it passed Edie! Originally our Vet thought after the first full week of complete rest, Edie could resume very short walks, but I started to...

Top Paw Mesh Harness
Top Paw Mesh Harness My search to find a harness that fits comfortably and properly. I’m a pug with a closet full of harnesses. It’s not that I’m a stylish pug, although I do like to look my best 🙂 but it’s because it has taken me some time to find a harness that fits me properly and comfortably. As a pup I wore a collar, but it was more of a fashion statement. I do not like the feel of a collar around my...
Pugs Don’t Snore!
Yes. I know it’s “Wordless” Wednesday. And I really have no idea who this Pug is impersonating me. I recall none of this. I believe the cats I live with have set me up! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😉...
