Daddy comes home next week!


Yay! I can't wait to see Daddy! He's been gone for a really long time, it seems like. Mommy sends him pictures to his phone sometimes, but it just ain't the same. I need one of daddy's belly rubs!

Please help Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue (MAPR)!

So, mom got this email from MAPR this morning and wanted to post it here on my blog, since I'm a pug and all. Neither one of us like to see fellow puggies not getting the help they need. MAPR is a GREAT rescue organization, so if you can spare a little bit of money to help with vet costs, that'd be great. I know mom said I'd have to lay off the treats for a bit... I can do that if it will help these pugs.

Here's the link and some information:

Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue has recently been hit very hard with surrenders and shelter pulls. We have over 65 dogs in foster care including several who are in very poor shape. Since August 15, MAPR has taken in the following special needs medical cases and we need your help! For those who have never participated in a Fundable fund drive before, if we don't raise our entire goal of $6,051 by 9/27, all pledges will be refunded and MAPR won't receieve anything. So, please help us meet our goal!


Kyle (see image) was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter in TN, where MAPR found him. He has almost no fur on his body and has a horrible skin infection with open wounds, an ear infection, eye problems, and a mouth full of rotten and infected teeth. He needs at least two surgeries- a compete dental overhaul with multiple extractions and sugery on at least one of his eyes. He will need many weeks of care but all of his current issues are correctable and with plenty of TLC, Kyle will be a new man again soon. Even with some generous discounts from our partner vet, we expect his vet bills to be at least $2,000 by the time he gets all the care he needs.

Read more on the Fundable website. If they don't get all the money they need, they get nothing.

My Granny left yesterday...

My Granny came up a few days before daddy left so her and Mom could go see something called the Lion King... ?? Don't know what that is, but Mom said it was pretty cool. Anywoof, Granny went home last night and I really, really miss her. She takes great care of me, lays with me on the sofa, sneaks me an extra treat when Mom isn't watching and makes me toys! Isn't that what humans are supposed to do for their grandpugs?

My daddy is gone, too. He's going to school, or something. I don't know why - he's pretty smart to me, but Mom says he had to go for work. So, I miss him, too! I've been hit with a double whammy and I don't know how much more my poor little pug heart can take. At least momma is here... but I'm so sad when she goes to work.

I hope everyone had a good Labor Day. I hung out with my momma and Granny. It was fun!
