Happy Birthday to ~

~  ERNESTINE ~

I fostered a pug named Cheerilee thru Ohio Pug Rescue back in August of 2017.  Within the week, DSO adopted her.  She was 5 years old at the time and an owner surrender so her exact birthdate was known.  Here is the official "adoption" photo.  I think they both look pretty happy.


He changed her name to Ernestine.  Remember the Lily Tomlin character Ernestine on Laugh In?  How she snorted and chortled? 


Pugs do the same.  Hence her name.  

Here she is today at 12.  Look at that gray face (and a few pounds extra pounds 😁).  Those gray faces just melt my heart.


She has been an absolute joy.  Unconditional love.  I highly recommend pet ownership, and please remember . . . 

ADOPT ~ DON'T SHOP

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Happy birthday to Ernestine. What a perfect name. Did not realize she was named after the Ernestine from the tv show. I use to love that show. Janice

Happy Birthday Wishes to Ernestine. Aren't we all a bit grayer and a few pounds heavier than we were 5 years ago? Gotta say, Ernestine wears hers much better than most. ;-). ~Robin~
