Happy Thanksgiving

Usually every Thanksgiving the pugs give a list of what they are thankful for as individual pugs.  But as the years pass, they start to sort of mesh into one pug (Henjaluna).  They are all thankful for pumpkin bread, bowls of turkey, midday kibble, knuckle bones, rib bones, peanut butter bones, Kongs filled with peanut butter, soft toys, squeaky toys, tug toys, a yard in which to pee, poop and lounge (hopefully they aren’t referring to the same one spot), a large king size pug bed that must unfortunately be shared by 2 pug parents, long walks, short walks, a special spot on the sofa, matching beds in matching crates and an endless supply of petting.

Those are the main “things” that the pugs appreciate.  But the pugs want to show their thanks for the “people” in their lives, too.  The pugs are thankful for their parents, their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, their sister the cat, their friends, their neighbors up the street that offer treats at Halloween and the small child that while barely 3 years old knows not only the differences in their looks (even from afar) but also recognizes their unique personality traits.  The pugs are most appreciative for those people.  The pug parents are equally appreciative of those people, as well.  But the pugs don’t have any concept of you, their cyber audience.  They don’t really realize that they have a “following” that also know them by their uniqueness and odd pug quirks.  But as bloggers and pug parents, we know.  And this Thanksgiving we wanted to be sure that we thanked you all for your dedication to Owned By Pugs and to your support of pugs everywhere.  From our family of pugs to yours, may you enjoy a peaceful and pug filled holiday.
