JAKE

Love how he is snuggled in

 We helped find Jake a home last month-- his owner couldn't keep him, but loved him.    Sometimes that happens and if we can be part of that transition, we are happy!
Jake is content now and can rest knowing he has a home the rest of his life.  Jake has settled in so well.   He's an older boy, so he does like his naps!  I think his blanket is great--  love the color.
He had a playdate with Gimmie and Lulu Belle the other day.  
I like this place!    I hear they have a pool here-- are we going swimming?
This is Harvey (Harvard) or Bruce-- I don't know which one.   He is Jake's brother now.
I know this one-- Gimmie came from the shelter near me.    Look how good you are doing!
Jake is so happy to be at this party.
I see four up there-- who's missing?
 I like your harness, too.   Harnesses are so important to use on small dogs-- it saves their necks from injury if they leap at a squirrel or something else that grabs their attention.  
 Jake is content to sleep anywhere -- this chair works just fine.   After a long day of play and fun and new friends, he needs a nap.
You are a beautiful boy, Jake!

PUPPY TIME!

by Linda
Tabitha.clem

I like the PUPPY FLUFF! pictures

 Bennett and his brother came to visit today.   PUPPY FLUFF!!  They are about 5 months old now.  
 They played and Cami-Bear wasn't sure what that was all about.  
 Cami was just neutered yesterday.   He has his Peke-friendly e-collar on and didn't feel great, but he was a good sport about all the puppy shenanigans.
 Then, he had some shenanigans himself and rolled all over the floor.  He must be feeling a little better.
 The puppies kept us all entertained!
 My Scooter loved them-- he loves all the dogs who come here.
 I think Kai Kai was afraid they were going to take him, so he sat up on the couch, just watching.
 (Here's another view of the special e-collar Cami is wearing.   It's shorter in depth, so Pekes can still eat and drink.   It won't work for eye surgeries, but is great for neuter/spay surgeries.)
 Kai Kai finally got down to come sit with me for protection-- those puppies are scary!
 Look at those fluffy butts.
 These two are just a ball of fun!
 Max wanted in, but he has a bossy side, so he just had to watch.    (He did come in for a bit, but then was banished for his behavior haha.)
 Starlight stayed under the coffee table-- safe there!
Bennett found the air conditioning vent and hung out there.   It was a fun puppy day!

PIKACHU

by Linda

He looks like he's liking the new cut.

 We were asked to help find Pikachu a home.    A lady had rescued him from a bad situation but had too many dogs of her own to keep him.     We didn't have a foster home, but we posted him on facebook-- and....
 We found a wonderful home for him!   I love our facebook because it gives us so many way to outreach and contact people.     Pikachu loves his new home!
 He went to the beauty parlor and got a summer cut-- oh my, he'd never had such care!
 He loves to veg out and just be a happy boy now.
 He went to the Farmer's Market  and guess what!
He and his sister, Frances, won Pups of the Week!! Pikachu is just grinning in joy-- I'm so glad he has a wonderful home now!!  (And I really love the updates we get!)

Henry Barks Alone

Tabitha.clem

Poor Henry.

Luna, Henry and Benjamin

Henry is the only pug in the house that can hear. Benjamin and Luna are not completely deaf, but their hearing abilities have been described as "dull". In this process, we have been focusing on Benjamin and Luna and have been trying to help them cope with their now quiet world. Benjamin and Luna have been adapting to this change pretty well. The one having the most difficulty with the situation, much to our surprise, is Henry.

The pugs have always had each other's backs. If one of them barks, the other two come running, full steam ahead, barking their heads off even though they have no idea what they are barking at. And when the trio is together and hear something a choir of barks breaks out.

But, now that Henry is the only one that hears, he is really the only one that barks. And when he barks he doesn't have his two buddies coming to back him up. As a result, Henry thinks he is going crazy!

He hears something, barks, then looks around for Benny and Luna. Usually they are nearby, lounging or chewing. Essentially, doing anything other than responding to whatever noise Henry hears. Henry then begins to question his own hearing. He looks around wondering if the noises are only in his head.

The Fourth of July was a very interesting experience. Usually, there is a lot of barking in the OBP household on that night. However, there was not a peep from Benjamin and Luna since they could not hear the fireworks going off outside over the television. Henry, on the other hand, could hear the fireworks and was looking around, like what is going on here? Am I the only one hearing these booms?

And the other day, the neighbor's dog was barking, which normally sets the pugs off. Henry jumped up, ready to give his canine neighbor the what for with his brother and sister, but Benjamin and Luna never budged. Henry was left standing on guard wondering if the barking he heard was real or just in his head.

Secret of Adulthood: Things Often Get Messier Before They Get Tidier.

I have not yet reached the tipping point.

Further Secrets of Adulthood:

ThingsGetMessier_124772

 

This phenomenon can be very frustrating. I spend an hour clearing-clutter, and my apartment looks worse before I started! Moving stuff into the trash, into recycling, or out the door to a thrift store or a friend takes time. I remind myself of this Secret of Adulthood when I’m feeling frustrated.

How about you? Do you find that things often get messier before they get tidier?

The Sweetest, Most Oblivious Pug You Will Ever Meet

Tabitha.clem

In fairness, I think Pugs in general are kind of oblivious - at least, they have no concept of personal space and that is a guiding principle (love them for it)

Benjamin and Cupid

Cupid has not been feeling 100% for the last two weeks and the pugs have really picked up on that. Cupid just wants to lay around and not be bothered and Henry and Luna have complied with her wishes. Benny, on the other hand, feels compelled to find Cupid and lay with her. I know Benny is convinced that by hanging around he will help Cupid feel better. Cupid, however, is not convinced. At first, she would move to a new spot after Benny layed with her. And Benny would innocently get up and follow her to her new spot and find a spot to lay. This would continue until Cupid was exhausted with the whole process and just decided to stay put.

POOKIE

by Linda
Tabitha.clem

Look at the last pic.

 Look at this adorable boy!     He was an owner turn-in-- but the place was overrun with dogs, so we were a little concerned about him.     We don't know what he went through-- he's so timid.
 Paige is fostering him and he is coming out of his shell.    He is super sweet, four years old, and about 13 pounds.
 He gets along fine with other dogs, but they aren't essential for him to be happy.    He's not aggressive, and he just does his own thing.    He is house trained and up to date on his medical.
I think he likes toys!  What do you think?    If you are interested in adopting Pookie, just let us know.
