Adjusting

Hi Furends,

I am not sure where to start. Things have definitely changed in my house by having a brother around. At first, I was shocked to meet Buster and was not sure why he was in my yard.

I checked him out closely to see who he was and reported my findings to Jet who waited on the inside.



I had to double check my findings.

Then decided I would give him a go and race him around the yard.

When we went inside he started chewing on my bone.

I am starting to wonder if this is how things are going to be from now on.
I am not an only pug anymore. It takes a getting used to!

Buster's Arrival

The hoomans were up before the sun. They travelled an hour north to meet the transport. Seven other dogs new families were there waiting too. The transport was running late and everyone's excitement was growing. Finally, they could see the big truck coming up the road.
Amazing the dogs were stacked 3 high in that trailer. Buster was on the tippy top.


The dogs were barking all wondering if it was their time to get out. The workers took each dog out one by one and handed them off to their new families. My family went up when it was their turn and they handed them Buster. He was so cute - said the Mommy and the littles were so happy.


They came home and introduced me and Buster in the yard. We ran around a lot and sniffed each other.

I can see us becoming fast friends.


I will tell you about our first days together in the next post.

Buster is Coming - Buster is Coming

I have the most exciting news. Yep - This is my New Brother - Buster.

Buster is 2 years old - just like me :) and he is coming to live with me this Saturday. YIPPEE! He has a long way to travel to get here. He is starting his trip Thursday morning leaving his foster home in Arkansas and spending the night in Tennessee. Then he boards the transport with all the other rescue doggies and travels up the coast to Maryland, Pennsylvania and then to my state New Jersey. The transport will keep going to deliver all the other doggies all the way up to Massachusetts. I am glad he is getting off early because then I will have all day to play with him and show him around the house. We even got him a new bed, harness and some toys. We are so excited that he is coming to live with us and he will be my buddy for ever and ever.
I will let you all know how things are going after he gets here and tell you all about his exciting adventure (after he tells me of course).

Also, don't forget about the weigh in Friday November 19, 2010. Diet food and green beans. I sure hope Buster likes green beans.

Mommy's Favorite Things

It does not get much better than this - wine and pugs all in one. Great idea and greater gift idea for this Holiday season. Don't go empty handed - pick up one of these and support the pug rescue. You can buy a single bottle for yourself or a gift pack. See the website to purchase.

We Just Love this!

Happy Birthday Ottis and Stuff

Hi Dawgies-
I have been getting my regular exercise and it feels great. The Mommy and I are on a regular schedule now of walking at least 2 times a day and for Halloween we walked for over an hour going from house to house. I have an appointment at the doctor tomorrow and can't wait to see what I weigh.
I want to wish my brother Ottis the cat a Happy 15th Birthday. He is an old man but still looks great.
I love this weather with the leaves all falling - but do beware - the Mommy found a tick on me the other day so those bad guys are still out there. The tick was all blown up too - it was really gross.
Make sure you keep up with your vaccinations so those bad boys don't get you sick!
I will let you know how my visit with the doctor goes. Paws crossed for good news!
