“Aw shucks Ma! - are you trying to make me look as if I’m a ‘bit of a basket case’?” I’m trying to figure out how this all happened and who’s that under your seat??

..........and pug growls to Huckle ‘cos she doesn’t want to ‘fess up on who is +1

Hi Corrine, thanks for that - went onto the blog and apologise for growling, but I will add it wasn’t a very ferocious growl - more like a ‘belly rumble’

Grannygoogs - No worries.  I knew it wasn’t a mean growl. 

Hi Abby,
This picture kind gives you that “vampire” look - pugs make the cutest and funniest faces!  You’re such a lucky girl to live with other puggies!  You must be very spoiled, and rightly so!  xxxooo to you sweetie!

Abby, hi darling.  I only have one pug, and while I’m crazy about my other two dogs, I wish I had at least one other pug. Pugs rule.

Kat, what is SARDS?  Is there a preventive for it?

Karen - I typed up a more detailed answer about SARDS but it didn’t post for some reason - maybe too long.  It’s Sudden Acute Retinal Degeneration Syndrome.  The animal eye doctor said there’s no way to stop it, - most breeders will breed this out of their lines.  Grizwald is a happy little pug and does well getting around - dogs have better spatial memory than people do!  He’s got a big fenced yard and he’s safe and very pampered.  He’s a sweetheart.

Huckle I just looked up on the computer CKC kennel club it has two different ones one is continental and the other is canadian if you google it you can find out more about it

Oops, Abby, I left out Sweet little Paisley.  I know you three have tons of fun together.  Elizabeth~

Oh, BTW, what does everyone thing the average weight of our normal little Pugs is.  I need to get Cooper weighed, but I think I am keeping him a bit on the small size.  He would be as big as a horse if I gave him all the food items that he wants.  He is little Mr. Piggy Pug.  I guess, from what I have read, they all love to eat.  Food is their top A#1 PRIORITY!  At least that is the way Cooper is.  He teased this evening for an ear of corn when my husband and I were having dinner.  I was afraid he would eat the cob which I would not want. 
He weighed 20# for a long time, but I know he is probably around 25.
I just got him a new Puppia in Size Large.  I love those things.  There is something to grab when he tries to run out my front door.

Thanks guys,  Elizabeth

Also what is everyone’s favorite food for Pugs?

Abby is about 21#s, Gracie is around 19, and Georgie is 24# (according to my scale.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he even weighed more.  I’m having his thyroid checked next week - he is just way too heavy, somewhat lethargic, and seems to have trouble getting up.  I’m hoping for thyroid because the vet’s original thought was that he might have neurological problems or PDE.

We feed raw medallions of chicken or beef and Blue Buffalo Wilderness (about $50 for 24# but may have to change that as Cooper eats like a growing puppy) dry (nothing but pure, honest kibble, no fillers).  I change it up with ground lamb ($5/# - so not often) or ground turkey.

Gracie and Cooper have become sparring buddies and are having a great time as I sit here.

sue - thanks, I’ll check it out on the web.

sue s - did you ever say what you did with Beauty’s pups?  (If so, I missed it) What a temptation to keep them all, eh?

Grannygoogs - now I have to ask yo what your +2 is?

Huckle & the Swamp Pugs+1

Wow!So much great information! Thank you all for sharing! I got to admit-having Proto & Solsie is great! They play together, tear up the house together, and sleep snuggled together. Beauty is having some adjustment to her new surroundings but seems to be more comfortable each day! Auntie Daisey is a good auntie to the little ones-Daisey is a real sweetheart and gentle soul! All see the vet for check-ups this week.Pug hugs from the Colorado 5

Food is available 24/7 in the form of ‘dry rats’ Top Brand available. They all have ‘supper at night which is ‘pug prawns and gravy’
Pug Food Traits:
1] When we go out of an evening or weekend, we always fill bowls with food. No matter what time we get back, none of them have touched it, almost seems as if they are waiting for us to come home
2] 3 of the pugs grab a mouthful from their bowls and run through to the lounge and proceed to eat their food on their cushions in front of the fire or outside [basically wherever we are]  Suster, is terribly bullied by the terrible teenagers, as they neately hook a cube out with their front paws, but if she tries to steal from them, bob-oh-boy, then we hear the ‘pug growls’
3] Their bowls have to put in the exact same place every day, otherwise they don’t eat .
