HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAZEL

Today our sweet Hazel is 8 yrs old!!!
 
We had no intention of getting another pug when
Hazel joined the family, we already had four,
CharShu, Pugsley, McKenzie and 2 yr old Bailey.
 
Then our daughter (who lives 500 miles from us)
 rescued a pair,
 
Sophia & Buzz
 
 
She was told Sophia would come into heat in a couple of months.
They had no intention of having puppies but it was not long before it became obvious
that Sophia was already pregnant. The birth was difficult.
 Of the six pups born, 3 were stillborn,
one failed to thrive and died the following day. 
Our daughter was devastated.
Sophia was not settling in to take care of the remaining two.
Then 3 days later she gave birth to one more healthy boy!!
Sophia was then a great mom and Buzz a proud papa.


I went to visit when the pups were 4 wks old and fell in love with "Star"
but still had no intention of adding one to our pug family.



A few more weeks went by and little Blondie had found a home with a good friend
and our daughter could not part with the boy, Brutus.
"No pressure Mom"  she said,
"but I know Star would have a wonderful home with you"
 
 
 And so "Star" became Hazel.
And this baby girl who was so full love and kisses
joined our family.
 
 
She still wakes us every morning with sweet kisses
 
And although the grey has crept into that sweet face
 
 
She will always be our "baby girl"
 
Happy Birthday Hazel!
We love you!

Just Call Me.......

 
Greta Pug Munchskin
 
Canine Good Citizen
 

 
 
Yep, thats right!!
I passed my Canine Good Citizen test last night!
 
 
 
I was still a little wiggly for the petting but it was OK!
And I even let the lady look at my teeth, sort of.
 
Mom almost freaked out when the lady said
"let's look at your teeth"
cause they are only supposed to look at your ears
and touch your paw.
But I handled it real well!
 
Now I can start training for
 competitive obedience and rally! 
 
WOO HOO!!!
 
And check out what Mom & Dad found at Petco
 
 
 
They thought it might help with my thing about chewing on sticks
but it just isn't the same :-(
