a pugs life.

Only a pet owner can truly understand the luv between a dog and their owner.  Before I had my own furry friends, I liked dogs... but now I think they are the most amazing little creatures!  Sure, they bark at things and occasionally poop on the carpet... but anger causes people to bark at others once in awhile!  And I could tell you some stories about people I know who have pooped in way worse places... but that is neither here nor there!
These furry little friends are my pugs, Peanut and Potato!  Cute huh!  They look sweet and innocent and they definitely luv to cuddle, but they have been known to get themselves in their share of trouble too... especially when the other kids, Spud, Tater & Pickle are around - instigators! :)

Let's take a trip down memory lane... once upon a pugs life, there was a cute little womanizer pug named Potato.  He befriended his cute little roommate, AbbyCakes and they fell in luv.  Aww!  Sure, they fought over treats and argued occasionally, but at the end of the day, they would cuddle in their bed and snore a sweet pug snore in sync.  Boy, did they go on lots of adventures together.  They would accompany us to Sunday Funday, take long walks on HB Dog Beach and spend afternoons in the park.  Watch their video here... they look so cute on those swings!!!

Potato and Abbycakes decided one day that it would be fun to run away together and go on a little surprise "honeymoon."  This, of course, threw us off quite a bit.  While they were out having fun roaming the streets of Huntington Beach, we were out putting fliers everywhere and frantically going door to door in search of them.  Abbycakes had her litter just weeks prior to them getting out and was still nursing her babies.  I sure felt bad for those little pups, they really needed their mom to take care of them!  To make matters even worse, Potato and Abbycakes forgot to wear their handy-dandy collars with their names and phone numbers.  We were devastated :(  Thankfully, a nice little Taco Truck driver found these two begging for scraps.  He decided to keep them for a couple days - probably thinking that the little perrito was prego with her sagging belly.  After some bad behavior and lots of barking, he decided he was ready to give them back to us and we were thrilled!

The little puglets were so happy to have their mom and dad back, it was the cutest thing!  Seeing them all play together and watch each other learn and grow was so amazing - I became very attached.  They were getting bigger and  more and more curious about the outside world.  They ran around everywhere sniffing and climbing... it started to get a little bit harder to take care of them!  It was almost time to let them go.

I'm sure you moms out there can understand how hard it must be to give up your kids!  But the day eventually came, and we had to give the puppies to their new parents.  It was a bittersweet day.  As hard as it was for me to see them go, I got to see the looks on their new parents faces.  Priceless!  They were all so happy to have their new furry friends!  I was very happy to see them all go to great homes.  Thankfully, they all went to friends so I still see most of them pretty frequently :)

If you don't luv them yet, you will!  These little munchkins will be making appearances throughout my blogs so be prepared to hear all about our endeavors together!
