White Paws and Rainbows

Do you believe in signs from heaven?
Mom Linda here today to tell you a story about 
White Paws and Rainbows

 Two weeks ago Stan & I had a discussion 
about the right time to get a new pug baby. 
I felt I was not really ready, 
maybe in the fall would be a better time. 
Stan left to visit with his dad and I went to check my email where I found one from a friend 
telling me about an ad for pug puppies. 
Curious, I had to check it out. 

Then I saw this picture


 My heart skipped a beat! White Paws!  
White paws on a pug are considered a flaw by AKC standards. 
Those of you who have followed us for a long time
 may remember that Greta, 
who we lost tragically at a young age, had two white paws. 
I started to cry, Greta had found me another baby. 
I called Stan, then called the number in the ad.  
It was almost too easy. 
The female with the white paws was the only one left. 
The owner answered all my questions 
and I told him about us and our love for pugs.
 It felt right to both of us. 

Later that evening when Mabel & I headed to class 
there was a full rainbow across the sky. 
I knew it was our Angels smiling their approval


Two days later we went to meet this little doll
and that Sunday 
Hilda joined the PugRanch family



Hilda's gotcha day selfie! 


Mabel watching over her new baby sister


All tuckered out


We could not be more thrilled with how Mabel has welcomed her new little sister. 
We had concerns about jealousy but there has been none,
 Mabel even sharing her space in the middle of the bed!

This first video is them playing on day 2




You can see in the next video that after a few days Hilda has become more confident in their play




Our hearts are full of joy
Welcome Miss Hilda!


We are the PugRanch Kids

    OMD OMD OMD... sssqqqquuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I cannot tell you how happy I am for you all - clearly Mabel is filled with fun for having fur-company again and knows exactly how to be big sister/surrogate mama. It is all the better for having, almost literally, dropped from the heavens, this opportunity to again expand the pug ranch!!! You know we will follow Hilda's growth with all the same sense of Love that makes Blogville special! YAM xx

  3. Oh yes, this is wonderful news, and our hearts too are full of joy watching Mabel playing with beautiful wee Hilda.
    Gail says Hilda is a great name - an aunt that she was extraordinarily fond of was called Hilda.
    Looking forward to lots more posts about the new pup.

  7. We absolutely believe in signs!!! And you got a lot of them. Hilda is a treasure sent directly from the heavens. What a doll baby she is!! And sweet Mabel, a little mystified by this bundle of energy at first but so accepting of her new sister. It is fun to watch how one who was once the baby now becomes the teacher. We love how Hilda rolled on her back for Mabel. These two will have so much fun and will bring you memories for years and years. We are so very happy for you. Welcome, Hilda.

    Woos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber and Mom too

  12. Oh yes, the angels always have a paw in showing the peeps who belongs with them! Momma says she knew Cinderella sent Jessie when Jessie flopped on the grass and rolled with her paws in the air just like Cinderella always did. And Angel Casey definitely whispered to met that I should run up to Momma and lick her ear like he used to. That sure decided her!
