I have Pugs, I have had two for a couple of years Wilma and Arnie, one of the things we do is to raise money for an animal shelter, we do things like Pugs N Kisses where people can kiss them and have a photo taken, and this year at Christmas events they have been dressed as reindeers with a little sledge, we raised 150 quid at one event a couple of weeks ago, BTW they love it, they are attention junkies, seriously the Kardashians could learn a few things from them
So anyway last week I got a call from the shelter a Pug had been bought in in a terrible condition, they don't have much room and as they know I was looking for another Pug they asked me If I would have her even for a short term foster.
It was obvious she had been used as a breeding Pug and that she had not long had pups, when I got her home it was heart breaking, it was clear she hadn't even been inside a house before, never walked on carpet or slept in a bed, totally traumatised and scared I am having to teach her how to be a Pug I have called her Princess Pug
I have a small poufee next to the sofa and the others use it to get up on there , so tonight I wasn't surprised to feel a Pug next to me and have my hand covered in Pug kisses, I looked down expecting to see Arnie or Wilma and to my amazement it was Princess, I have spent 4 hours just sitting there in tears while she gradually fell asleep next to me with her head on my knee My Christmas miracle a Pug learning to love.
She has finally got up and has gone to her bed (for the first time)
Of course I am going to keep her, but she has a long road ahead health wise who knows maybe next year she will be wearing antlers and raising funds for other dogs in desperate need
Sorry as this is a dog thread I had to share
