A Rug and some Pugs ~

~ WELCOME FRIENDS ~

This morning March decided to act like the lion.  Our rain turned to snow about 10 pm last evening and by this morning we had about four inches on the ground.  The wind was howling and it was just not a pleasant day :(

This Sunday evening I have a couple things to share that I have been working on.  I have finished the hooking part of my little tulip mat.  It is about 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" and not nearly as bright as the picture shows.  It will be bound at a {much} later date.

I finally started the birthday gift that was to be done a month ago.  Better late than never, right?

This is a picture of Hopscotch (nka Midge) that her forever mom recently sent me.  Those teeth just make me laugh! 

Here's a picture of the first pug (the black one) that I fostered through Ohio Pug Rescue in August of 2008, with my Loocie.  TeeJaye was dumped at a shelter and when I got her she was missing lots of fur from a bad infestation of fleas.  I almost didn't want to hold her because she looked so awful and at that point I had my doubts about fostering.  Let me tell you, she turned out to be a beautiful girl and the day she was adopted out I took a half day off work and spent it crying.  I was told you will cry when the first foster goes to her forever home, and you will cry when the second foster goes to her forever home . . . get the picture?

And now there's Peanut.  She's foster pug #9.  Since I don't have a fenced yard, I only foster one at a time.  She has turned out to be a total joy!!!  She was an adoption return (after two years!!!) due to aggression.  So far, and I know it's only been nine days, there has not been one sign of aggression.  Not one growl, not one snarl.  She is just a little lover.  The first few days we had some problems with separation anxiety/potty issues.  She is now crated when I leave and she has done just fine.  She is my shadow (aka velcro dog :) and is never more than a few feet away from me.  She sleeps with me at night and loves to crawl under the covers and snuggle next to my belly.  I hope she will soon find her forever home that truly is forever.

It's time to get on my soapbox again and ask that if you are considering a pet (be it a dog, cat, bird, horse or even a skunk), please consider rescuing an animal.  PLEASE!!!  Do not support puppy mills by purchasing from a pet store. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do hope you will come again soon!
Pug hugs :)
