New addition to the family!!!
This past Memorial Day week-end we decided to stay home and avoid all the heavy holiday traffic. Instead, on Friday night we selected a black baby pug, to add to our fur babies.
Her name is Zoe Patricia, she's 9 weeks old now and a little monster. She tries to get the 3 older fawn pugs to play with her, but so far they are ignoring her for the most part.
She's a cutie and bringing so much pleasure into our lives already. Pugs live 12-16 years, so I'll have to be around for some time to come to take care of this new little girl.

Hi Esther,
Awwwwwww, too cute! A baby pug! It's so fun we when get those new additions to our families, isn't it? We've had puppies but no pugs. I'd imagine the feeling is the same.
Enjoy your new little "baby"

Nothing better than being a NEW MOMMIE
Esther,
Being a dog lover myself I can understand your joy. New puppies bring so much life into the house esp. when there are other older dogs present. So much fun
and so much love with puppy kisses. I have a ten year old miniture schnauzer
and a 1.5 yr. old american bull...almost got another puppy last week, but that
didn't work out.
Enjoy your new baby!
Jean

Congrats Esther!! Only an animal lover can understand fully the joy these little furry beasts bring to our lives! I lost my Maine Coon tragically in an accident last Jan but have also decided to take another little kitten which we hope to bring home next Monday. I really hope your little pug brings you many days of love and joy

Ester, Big Congratulations on your new four legged bady. Pugs are awesome...just LOVE their faces. Full of so much personality & character. Nine weeks old is such a FUN age. lol Enjoy that little one...they grow up so fast.
I am jealous...I am been thinking about adding to our 4 legged family and haven't made up my mind if I should go for it or not. I am a Dogue De Bourdeaux (French mastiff) and a toy poodle...great combination huh. LOL They are boyfriend girlfriend & love each other. hahaha
I bet your pack of four is a ball of fun. It must be hilarious to watch all of them play together...especially with that new addition which is bound to be full of energy & will lite some fire under the rest of them.  Have fun with that new baby....I bet she's just adorable.
Chelee

Anyone interested in seeing Zoe Patricia, can follow this link to the Riverside Pug Club photos on the Meet-up site.
Zoe is picture # 3, picture #1 is Max, one of our fawn pugs, Chris put his sunglasses on Max, and he left them on.
http://pug.meetup.com/43/photos/
Zoe is settling in nicely, her big fawn pug siblings are getting used to her and accepting her. |

Hi Esther!
A new baby and friend! Our 3 fur friends (two dogs (who knows what they are) and 1 cat (she wanted us)) have blessed me to no end since my diagnosis. The male pom (sort of) won't leave my side when symptoms are dreadful. He stays with me until he senses things are ok. I try to do the same for him!
I know that you will enjoy your new pal and that much love will guide it's life. Cheers to you for being such a friend to our fur people!
