After reading this,there is an empty yet heavy hole where my heart and stomach are supposed to be.  I’ve started my day with your blog for the past 10+ years, eager for news and antics of the OBP pugs, and laughing and comparing them to my 3 puggy babies.  Said babies are now 17,(!) 13 and 11, so i can relate to the slowing down, the fears and sleepless nights that come along with all the love they bring. My deepest condolences to you and peep #2 for your loss, and my sincerest thanks for sharing the lives of Henry, baby Benny,Looney & Solsey with us. I’m going to miss them and the blog terribly.

I barely know what to say.  Like everyone else, OBP was the first thing I opened in the morning.  There was good, funny, adorable, concern and yes the sad, but I would not have missed any of this.

Benjamin, Henry, Luna and Sol were “my” pugs.  I loved them to pieces.  I laughed, I smiled, I cried, but always eager to see what these precious lives were doing. 

Cupid, too, is always a source of entertainment, producing a range of emotions as she goes through life.

My heart is heavy that this has ended, simply because these babies are in a place we cannot enter here on earth.  I am not a crier, but tears have flowed. 

Thank you so much for everything.  I am glad to hear the OBP post will stay up.  I know there will be days I go back through the blogs.  Thank you for the final pictures on this blog.

Love you guys.

Sue VDB

I have followed your blog since 2009.  It was the first thing I looked at every morning.  Reading about all the antics of your gang and the cute, funny, adorable pictures from everyone in this OBP community made being owned by a pug all the more wonderful.  I can’t imagine the pain of losing all four of them.  Having lost Jackie just two weeks ago, losing this blog will a giant hole in my life.  To go from being owned by a pug to reading about pugs to no pugs at all is heartbreaking.

I think reading your blog gave me the courage I needed when it was time to let her go.  I realized a lot of the emotions I was and still am feeling was four-fold for you guys. 

Being an animal lover and lover of cats in particular (hubby is a dog person and I was a cat person) I loved reading about Cupid and her cute personality, and I will miss seeing her also.  Your dedication to your furry family is inspirational. 

Good luck to you both.  I’m sure this new era will be just as great as the pug years.

Thank you so much for sharing your pugs with all of us—-you will really be missed.
You helped me so much with my pug Meiling—teaching me how to be a good pug parent
and how to let her go. Now with great sadness we miss let the OBP go—- take care
and lots of pugs ‘n kisses.

Thank you so much for everything you have shared. I appreciate more then ever the energy and heart it took to continue to finish the whole journey on the blog. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you so much, Corinne, for sharing your babies and yourself with us all these years. Coming to your blog first thing every weekday morning will be a very hard habit to break. Even my husband (who is so NOT a blog reader)knows who Henry, Benny, Luna and Sol are. Even he was so sad when I told him Henry had passed. Neither one of us even wants to think about losing Pen or Lucy. But we are better prepared for when that happens because you have shared with all of us how to handle it with grace and love. And thanks to all of the OBP family, for witty comments and lots of laughs. Take care everyone, I will miss all of you!

My husband was the one that happened upon your blog, he thought it was something I would enjoy so, he signed me up! Well, I more than enjoyed it…as with everyone else it immediately became a very welcome part of my day. At this point I don’t even recall when he found you since it seems like OBP has always been part of my life!

It was comforting to know I wasn’t the only loon out there when it came to my puggies, though I’ve still yet to meet anyone else with a pug shower:) There were times when it absolutely made my day and times where it broke my heart.

I will miss the pics and the stories and the videos and the love and the comments and the questions. Corrine, sorry my toilet paper question almost pushed you over the edge…BUT it could have been worse, I could have asked the undies question;)

I hope there is a pug(s) in your future when it’s time because when it comes to being owned by a pug the ride is worth the fall.

Wishing you love always…Until we meet again,

Christie

It’s not only the pugs, pics and stories, but all the posting members of the community that we will miss. We have some characters and very funny people here. It has often been the comments that have made us laugh the most. Is there some way to leave part of the site open to comments and conversion?

We will miss each and every creature, and the feeling of community. I love that there has been a place where there is unconditional love, much like a dog gives, where people are just supportive of each other. That had warmed my heart as much as Henry, Benny, Luna, Sol and QP’s antics—well, almost.

Much love to all,
Jim and Heidi

I’d like to thank you for starting your blog and bringing us all on your journey.  The pug community is a strong, supportive one and I, like many followers have, have found such support, strength, joy, courage and many laughs through your posts.  As strange as it sounds, the blog (you and the pugs) feel like family, you were part of my daily routine, I thought about the pugs and prayed for you all in tough times. 

I wish you so much luck in your future endeavors and hope that we (you guys and the OBP followers) all cross paths again in the future!  I’m sure we’ll all be checking in from time to time   And thank you for leaving the blog as-is, I’m sure many of us will flip through it for smiles!

Take care, and once again, thank you!

I know you need time,i too was wondering if i should get a whole other kind of dog…(still got 1 wonderful princess pug)but all i can think of now is:you have so much experience now,it has helped me sooo much reading about their health-problems,being in that same rocky boat,
There are enough pretty pug-pictures on the internet,but telling about the real life with so much positive energy is the thing we also need to know, so…......
PLEASE TAKE SOME NEW (rescue) PUGS,THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!

Sue VDB and Chuckie…I didn’t mention this wonderful and wacky community either…my bad:( I will miss it terribly too! For anyone interested you can find me on face book…Christie Scarpello Sachde.

Thank you for the years, the tears, the smiles, and the miles. I loved reading all your adventures! Much love from Nebraska!

Thank you so much for sharing the lives of your precious fur babies. I have followed your blog since it was just Henry, Benny, and Luna. You have helped to teach me so much about caring for my own senior Pugs.

I hope that one day you will again be rescued by a Pug…or two! I also hope that when that happens you will at least send a blog post to let us all know how you are doing.

Thank you so, so much. I have loved reading this blog everyday. Thank you for leaving it up so that we can still enjoy it.
You should be so proud of everything you have done - both with this blog and taking such amazing, excellent care of your pugs.

My sincere thanks- Kerry, Dicky pug and Elle pug
Best wishes-

Thank you for sharing your lives with us. OBP was the first blog I checked everyday.  I also wanted to say thanks because your blog helped me to heal when I lost my precious Angel in 2012. Reading stories about your puggies, lessenend the pain of losing mine.

I hope sometime in the future you get more pugs. They are the best, arent they?!    Take care of yourselves and Cupid. 

xoxo Patty

Your site was one that inspired me to start my own pug blog and I loved reading about each pug. I even got lucky and my girls appeared in the calendar in the past. Thank you for sharing so much with us.

I found you years ago when I first started to blog and followed faithfully even if i didn’t comment. It was heartbreaking to see you lose your babies one by one and as much as it hurts i am glad you shared with us.

xoxox

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing your pugs and your lives with us all these years.  I found your blog in one one of my first searches in December 2009 when I very accidentally got my first pug, a neglected mistreated 2 year old boy.  I was clueless as a dog-owner, much less a pug-owner.  Solsey had passed by then but I read every single past post up to that point, and from that point forward.  You taught me so much and gave hours of entertainment, and I fell in love with all of your babies.  Vito Marino has been with me for over 6 years now, is the love of my life, and now has a rescued pug brother named Vinny, and I have fostered 19 dogs in that time.  Vito had a blog for several years, much inspired by yours, and I know how hard it is to keep it up.  I gave it up and wish I hadn’t.  Your babies’ stories will live forever and you will have this to look back on when you are ready.  It’s a long, beautiful story.  Thank you for keeping on when it would have been so much easier to just not post anymore.  You have shared your joys and your heartbreaks and we have felt them along with you, and I know I’m not the only one who has learned so much from you.  Run free, Henry, Looney, Benny and Solsey.  Take care of yourselves, and again, thank you.

My deepest condolences ... such a sad time indeed.  My heart goes out to you Corinne and your family. You are all thought of so very much.
I cannot remember if I found your blog just before I got Mr. Skittles or after.  He will be 10 this fall. I very much enjoyed the funny antics you wrota, how sometimes my guy mimicked things your pugs did, or acted like some of the other OBP readers babies… when you shared sad news, I sat at the computer and cried, like now. I often wished I lived closer, I would have liked to have met the OBP family, sending my condolences jsut doesn’t seem enough.  I hope we will hear from you very soon.  Take Care xoxo

I’ll miss this blog.  As many have stated - I started my mornings by reading about the antics of your four babies.  I hope some day to see an update in my inbox from OBP. 

Thanks for sharing. 

This post breaks my heart. This community has been so valuable to me. When I lost my first pug Abby in 2011, so many people here reached out to me and sent sympathy cards. I really cherish the friends I have made through OBP. So grateful for each and every one of you. I secretly hope there will be another pug, but understand if it is not meant to be. All my love.

Pat, it is not the same but there is still a Daily Picture, and it helps a little.

I’m not getting the daily pic either:(

You have to log on to ownedbypugsdotcom.

I’ve so enjoyed the fact that there was still a Daily Pug Picture these last few days; will so miss these when they’re gone!!  Thanks for letting us ease gently out of OBP, Corrine! :-(

Dear OBP,
I have been out of the loop lately due to a cross country move. I just wanted to express my
Love and appreciation to peeps 1 & 2 for sharing your wonderful family with us through
The years. I will miss you very much. I hope you guys and Cupid have a blessed rest of the year.

Here’s to the Fab Four puggies.  ❤️

I don’t even know how many years that I’ve been following OBP.  I had hoped it would never end.  (I still hope you will come upon an adorable pair of pugs in rescue and start the ride all over.)  I know that I will never not have a pug (or pug mix) in my life.  I have 7 now - 3 of them rescues.  They are my friends, confidants, solace, entertainment and comfort.
I wish you peace and well-being and hope to hear from you again.
Love and Pugs,
Kelly and the Pugs (Baxter, Mollee, Bentlee, Taz, Henree, Chloee & HoneeBear)

Pat, give your Mr. Skittles pug hugs and kisses from Annie Fannie and myself.  Best wishes for him and your family.

I have two pugs myself, one is fawn and her name is Amber. The other one’s name is Guinness and he is black. We rescued them from a lady who was living in an unheated garage and couldn’t afford to take care of them. But now they are happy and in a good home

I am so sorry for your loss!  Henry was an amazing boy and he was lucky to have chosen such an amazing family to spend his life with. 
I have been ‘lurking’ and posting occasionally for many years and I have loved reading about the highs, lows and regular daily happenings of your family.  Thank you for sharing Henry, Benny, Luna, Sol and of course Cupid too, with all of us. Some of your posts have been the best part of my day!
Whatever happens next in your lives, I wish you all the best. When you’re ready, maybe Henry, Benny, Luna and Sol will send you another puppy to love.

Dear Corinne and family,
I keep checking everyday to see if anyone has added anything new to the posts, and to see if you have posted an update.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you are all well, and your fur babies are working on sending you someone precious to love. xo

Corrine “Marley and me"is not a patch on your lot. Write it down and make a movie.

I only sort of survived the loss of my Mr Harry by loving and rescuing more.
Take care.
Karen

Thanks for everything.  Even all the tears.  Hugs!

I miss this page!  Just popping on to read the comments again and flip through pictures and posts.  Hope you are all doing well.

Sue I am so sorry you lost your little girl Daisey Doodle Girl. I lost my Missy Girl, powder puff Chinese Crested on May 12.  She was 13.  We had a thunder storm yesterday, and at the first clap of thunder I looked for Missy to pick her up and hold her, but she is at peace and no longer afraid. I’m sure you still look for your Daisey.

Oh, Sue States and Sue VDB, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your fur babies.  They are at peace now, and playing with Henry, Bennie, Luna and Sol at the Rainbow Bridge.  Sending hugs.

Thank you Mary M. Daisey is back home (her remains) with us again, this has brought me a lot of comfort. Beauty is also back with us for at least a week till we see if she can adapt to being with us and her daughter Solsie. Beauty spent most of her time outdoors but we don’t have a fenced area(per where we live)so going potty in the house has happened. Working on getting Beauty to ask to go out. Again thank you for your kind thoughts! Pug Hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 3

Big beautiful moon here last night…couldn’t help but think of Luna:) Hope all is well.

Still miss my daily dose of OBP happy. Beauty Solsie’s mommy has adopted to living back with us like she never left. My lap is up for grabs each time one of them gets down. I still so miss my Daisey Doodle Girl I know she is happy,healthy and waiting for me. Hope you all are well and I know we will continue to visit this blog site in the hope that a new pug(s) story will unfold and just staying in touch. Pug Hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 3

I think about you all of the time. When I lost my Bentley a little over three years ago, a little part of me died inside. I have his sister, Sofie, still and as she ages, I find it more and more heart wrenching knowing she will also one day be gone.
I had to stop reading your blog after Bentley passed, because I couldn’t do it without crying my eyes out. And today is no different. I come back from time to time just to see the old photos and check in on you.
Always in my thoughts and prayers. I, like you, have so much love for my fur babies. As much as I do my son. And life without them just isn’t the same.

Oh, Sue VDB, I’m so sorry for your loss. I too have an “only” and I can not fathom the depth of grief you must be feeling. Losing a fur baby is heart breaking but losing your only child… There aren’t words. I will pray that God will bless you with some measure of peace and comfort, especially through the holiday season. I hope 2017 is kinder to you. Please know that us OBPers out here will be thinking of you.

Heard Heart of Hanky Doo on my way to work this morning! Turned it up so that Henry could hear it…pictured him with his head hanging out the window, ears flapping in the wind…

Greetings All! Stopping n to wish you all a Blessed Christmas/Holiday time. SueVDB, I am sorry to hear of your loss, my prayers and thoughts are with you as I know this time of year is difficult when a loved one has passed. Beauty is a joy to have back with us, she talks-in pug of course, when she needs treats, water dish re-fills and to go out. SOmetimes her and her daughter have fights, what mother hasn’t had disagreement with her child, eauty has a flemmy kind of cough she has been on prednisone and theophyline when I stop the prednisone she starts coughing again, usually at night. Would appreciate if anyone has had this experience with their pug. Blessings & Peace to you all! Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado3

I am so sorry to hear about your Coco. Losing furbabies is one of the hardest things to deal with. Focus on all the sweet memories and find some comfort

Hi Roberta just want to express my condolsences on sweet CoCo’s passing. It is so hard to say good bye even though we know it’s the greatest act of love we give when our sweet fur babies suffer no more. Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 3
