PUG-NACIOUS!

OK, so this is the first time I have ever tried to post anything on the blog, hopefully it comes out alright. This is Doug by the way. So we have been looking around for a couple of weeks for a dog to add to our family. The cat was obviously not enough! We have done a ton of research trying to find out which breeds have the best temperament, intelligence, obedience, and personality for a young family with kids. After many misses (and some near hits), after all of the puppies and older dogs we looked at, after all the trips to the pound, after the hours spent pouring over dog books, after all of the puppies that licked and peed on us, we have finally found the perfect dog! Was it the 150 pound great dane needing a new home, no. Was it the 8 week old golden retriever puppy (as cute as it was), no. Was it the boy in the accidental litter of black labs, no. It was this happy little guy!
YES, it's a pug! He is just four weeks old and is the sweetest little guy. Both his parents are registered purebreds, and they are the best dogs. He's the one on the far right in the picture down below. He will be all ready to come home with us in about a month. That should be plenty of time to puppy proof the house.

Shannon is so excited! She is usually not an animal person, but she just absolutely fell in love with the dad, his name is Woody. It was so funny, I could not get her away from that dog!

This is the Momma dog. Isn't she sweet?

We're still not sure on the name. We are looking for something that really shines. Like Yoda, Hamlet Prince of Pugmark, or Rip Van Wrinkle. Or maybe even Doctor Von Schadenfreud. Any ideas are welcome.

OK! A dog ... this is more like it!! You shouldn't name him though until you bring him home and watch his behavior. He's too cute. I'm glad you two did your homework and research. Now, start puppy-proofing the house...it is like having a baby around again! Love Ya, Nana

You picked well. I've worked with A LOT of dogs over the years and have never met a pug I didn't like. You simply can't go wrong with a pug. I have a hard time believing that you aren't an animal person, Shannon, because I know how you grew up and you're so excited about this little guy. I'm jealous. Have fun!
