Good news on Jazzy D’Pug. She is home and her daddy is so happy.  She is eating well, and that’s a good sign.She has to be still for now and hopefully will recover full use of her legs.  Just saw a video of her.  She is a sweetie.

Great news on Jazzy’Pug still saying prayers for her and pug mama still saying prayers for sweet Abby

pug mama, be positive and hold dear little Abby in your loving arms. Have you reconsidered the trachea wash?  You and Abby are kept in my prayers for a peaceful Christmas and for comfort and relief to Abby.

Hugs,
Sue & Romeo (who is doing better again, and goes in tomorrow morning at 8am for laser/acupuncture)

Say it isn’t so Corrine, lol.

The gang looks fantastic in the photo. Enjoy your time away as you deserve it and are very much appreciated. I’m not sure what I did before I found OBP.

Merry Christmas to all of you near and far and across the pond in England.

Lol Anjellica. I keep telling my brother fish don’t count. That made me chuckle.

I knew I missed someone yesterday. Glad to hear Abby and Romeo are doing a little better, and thrilled to hear Jazzy has a good prognosis as well.

Love and pug hugs n kisses from our house to yours,
Wishing you all the best of the best in the new year.
Lilo n Me

Testing to see if I can post….

Corrine, I hope that you and your family and of course, Henry, Benjamin and Luna, have a great holiday full of fun and pugkin bread!

And to all of the other readers of Owned by Pugs, happy holiday to you, my wonderful friends!

Gwen, I pray that Tux does well.  That’s not a way to start off the Christmas weekend.  Please let us know how he does.  I will be checking my email and I have OBP flagged. 

Hugs to you and Lilo, and gentle hugs to Tux from Sue VDB and Romeo.

Gwen, hope that the vet exam if you have to go today will turn out well and you have an early C-mas present. Good luck to Tux. 

Yes, Sue VDB, Romeo has been overlooked (but not over prayed or thought about).  Give him a big smoooooch from the Swamp Pugs.

Pug that little Abby and good hopes for the New Year. That poor little baby.  Pug hugs!

Hope all of you are having a very Merry Christmas, and pray that all the sick babies are feeling better.

Love to all,

Sue VDB and Romeo

Hey everyone,
Just thought I would give you all a little update, and would like to thank you for all the good pug juju.  Seems to be working. Tux is doing pretty well.  He was still sore Saturday and thought we might have to take him back to the clinic, but mostly he was pretty good so we decided against it.  He still has the occasionnal moment where he lets out a little shriek, but then he is just fine following.  I am working nights this weekend for the first time in ages so i was a little concerned leaving the pugs with my brother.  I knew Lilo would be missing me, but I guess they all slept with him last night so it worked out well.  I guess Tux woke them up with a yelp in the morning, i guess just changing position, but they went back to sleep after I got home from work. Lilo is such a good sleeper haha! She slept all night with my brother, then slept all day long with me! Good doggy! She is probably just catching up from the last couple of weeks being on the run from Tux.

Before I left for work tonight though, Tux was back at full tilt running behind her, (looking for trouble).  I think he’s a slow learner.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  Prayers for Romeo and Abby and any other puggies in need. 

Lots of Love, Lilo n Me, n Tux

Gwen, sounds like Tux is ok again, thank you St. Francis.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  Pug mama how is Abby doing?  I think about your baby and pray she is doing better. 

This isn’t pug related, but Christmas Eve we exchange family gifts.  My grandson’s mother gave me a gift certificate to the local dinner theatre and the DVD of “The Help”.  The funny part is I gave her the exact same thing.  We have laughed so much over that.  We didn’t think of pictures at the time, but we are going to take a picture by the Christmas tree with our gifts. We’ll we laughing over that for years to come. 

Romeo had another laser/acupunture Saturday.  I was concerned about him over Christmas because of company. He did well Christmas eve for about an hour, and got to be too rambunctions so I put him in a soft sided crate.  That worked for like 20 seconds.  I had no choice but to put him in the basement so he would be calm.  Yesterday he did better and he was able to be with usl all day…yay.

Hi all,

I have very sad news to share.  I had to let Miss Abby go to the rainbow bridge today.  She went badly downhill over the weekend, and there was nothing left for options with her short of miracles.  She was suffering terribly.  My heart is broken :(  I held her as the vet let her go, she is now at peace, no more breathing struggles, she has found her other pug friends at the rainbow bridge, and is her young goofy self again.

Pug Mama,
  I am so sorry to hear about Abbey. I can just imagine your pain.  Our babies are such a big part of our lives and family and it hurts so much to have to let them go.  Know you are in my thoughts and prayers

Pug Mama I am so very sorry I know your heart is aching try to find some comfort in knowing she is not in pain she is running with all our pugs who have crossed the rainbow bridge please know we are here for you I am sending you a big hug

Pug Mama ... I am so sorry for your loss! RIP Abby

Oh Pug mama-sorry to hear of Abby’s passing. God bless you! It is never easy but knowing she suffers no more hopefully will help. Keeping you in prayer. Hoping Romeo and Tux are doing better. We are all here for you during your time of grief. Sending special pug hugs and prayers of comfort your way from Pastor Sue & the colorado 3

I’m with Huckle Pug Mama. If you want to give us your address, I’m sure some of us would love to send you something. I can speak from very recent experience that the support helps tremendously! God Bless you Pug Mama.

Pug Mama, I tried several times to give you my phone number and my email, but it wouldn’t let me.  Let’s see if it will this time.

If you have facebook, you can find my email address there:  Sue Van De Berghe

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Pug Mama,
  Over the past 26 years, I have lost 4 pugs due to cancer and old age and the only thing that made me feel better was to get another Pug.  Toby is 7 now and I honesly don’t know what I would do without him..He is my family.
Hopefully, you will find another pug to love soon.
  Thoughts and prayers,
  Marcia

Pug Mama ~ How are you doing? Still think of you often. Sending comforting thoughts your way. I know Pip and Abby are running around and having a great time. Not sure if you have any humans in heaven but I do. My Mom is there and she LOVED dogs. So I know she has Pip and maybe Abby now too. I hope that is comforting to you. God Bless.

Dear pug mama, Continued prayers for comfort. Reading the posts it reminds me of what a great group this is from sharing stories to comforting each other during times of grieving. I pray you all have a safe & blessed New Year as I give thanks for you all and for this wonderful web-site! Pug hugs to all and a special pug hug to you Pug Mama from pastor sue & the colorado 3

Pug Mama
I am so so sorry about Abby. It is a terrible thing to loose a beloved pug. I understand exactly what you mean by the house being so quiet. Pugs, with their abundance of personality, talk all the time. Saying we miss them feels like a supreme understatement. I honestly thought my heart was broken when my Lola-Bug had to leave. A book that was helpful was Saying Goodbye to Your Angel Animals. It also helped very much that everyone here was so kind. Hang in there Jen. Consider sharing your life with another pug (when you’re ready). Perhaps a rescue? Abby would be proud. You may not see her, but I know she sees you and does not want you to cry.—All My Love, Kelly & Grace & Edward Pug

Julie, you lost both at the same time?  I am so sorry.

I lost sheba first she was 18 and she died peacefully in my arms and noah passed a week later as he died in my arms as well.It’s been a tough road here as they mean so much to me they are our most cherished treasures.We are starting fresh as we moved we’re about on the vermont border it is very beautiful and darla and buggy have a large fenced yard and i’m expanding the’Pug Ranch’as i call it taking a few more seniors as they tug at my heart.We wish our family here all the very best and hugs to all the ‘ownedbypugs’crew.

The pain is still there but,i know i have to go on as my babes here need me and so do many other senior pugs as i plan on expanding this rescue and giving love to each and everyone.Thank you,as i wish more would open their hearts and their homes.

Thank you gina and everyone we have a very special family here as we have been through so much in the past year i pray we all have a better new year.
