The Good, the Bad & the Pugly

Every family is made up of characters that creates the unique qualities of that family. Often we relate our family to a book, song, TV show or movie, etc...It's no different for pug families or families with pugs. Ours just so happens to be an old western minus Clint Eastwood it was that or a three-ring circus with clown music in the background.

The Good:

Zoey is the "good" girl in the family. She likes to do what she's told & is good about keeping everybody else(mainly Phoebe) out of trouble. She loves to cuddle up next to you with a toy & just relax.

The Bad(not really bad):

Phoebe is our little trouble-maker. If "something" has happened, it's pretty safe to say she may have had a paw in it. Phoebe is the baby & has had no real opportunity to be the "Alpha" even though in her heart she is. This creates her "bad" reputation at the park. She just wants everybody to play the games she chooses. When she doesn't get her way, she's not afraid to vocalize her protests. Phoebe's not bad, just misunderstood.

The Pugly:

Yoda was everything that makes pugs; pugs. He loved to play, eat, sleep & play; in that order. He loved to be around people but kept his pug family close. He, like so many pugs do, had a special way of melting your heart & making you his friend for life. Yoda would go up to a random stranger, as if to say, "you're going to love me." He was both Zoey & Phoebe's favorite. They always wanted to do whatever he was doing; where ever he was doing it. No matter what was going on, what time it was, Yoda was always ready to cuddle & be held. If you babied him even better.

Yoda is no longer with us & all is left are the memories: his favorite toys, things to do & places to go (like Pug Sunday).

We dedicate this blog to Yoda. Zoey, Phoebe & I continue to miss him everyday but the joy & love he gave us, remains in our hearts.
