Mommy's Medicine

So Mommy has been sick all week, since the night we dropped Maggie off, and she got something called Bronchitis, so I have had to take care of Mommy!

While Mommy laid on the couch for several days watching TV, I was right at her side, making sure she got plenty of fluids!

Ok Mommy, THIS is NOT funny! She kept saying "ET Phone Home" over and over again!
CLEARLY the medications are getting to her!

Wanted to share this.....

Mommy got this in an email and wanted to share with all of my furiends and their humans!

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.

Maggie's Last Day

Yep, today was the day we had to say our goodbyes to Miss Maggie! Mommy loved taking care of Maggie for the past month while she was waiting for her forever home to come along.

This morning it was our last breakfast together...."feeding time at the puggle zoo."

Oh boy a car ride! I look worried don't I....I knew it was going to be a sad drive! Mommy started crying before we even pulled out of the driveway! Thank goodness she brought an entire box of kleenex!

Well, here we are at the Pet Adoption Expo at the Tampa Fairgrounds! Both of us were so behaved Mommy could not believe it! There were a few dozen rescue organizations there and hundreds and hundreds of dogs that need homes! We got to sniff around and meet so many of them!

This is the last picture of us together before Mommy handed Maggie over to her new owner. It was nice to meet him and it reassured Mommy that Maggie is truly going to a wonderful home! He even showed us a picture of his puggle Jake! He is handsome just like me! I hope he likes Maggie!

Please send all of your best doggy vibes to Maggie and wish her well in her new home! She knows that if for whatever reason it doesn't work out, she has a place to come back to.
Mommy spent the rest of the day sobbing......not just because she is sad Maggie is gone, but because of the overwhelming numbers of dogs there that so desperately need a place to call home! And to think, that was just a mere fraction of the dogs from each rescue group! It is so unfair that dogs like me and all of my bloggy furiends have such wonderful caring homes, and so many never get that chance! With that being said, it is truly wonderful that Maggie now has that chance, that so many dogs will never have.
On that note.....time for more kleenex for Mommy!

A Sad but Happy Day

Hello furiends. I am very sad this morning. Mommy told me the news....that Maggie is getting adopted tomorrow! I am really sad that she is leaving because we love each other so much.....but Mommy said that it's a good thing that she is going to such a good home in south Florida! The house she is going to has a 2.5 year old male puggle for her to play with. I am not gonna lie.....I am really jealous! I don't like to share my girlfriends! But Mommy said, that the puggle may not like Maggie and not welcome her kindly into their home, and if that happens, Maggie will be back!

What do you mean I am leaving lady?? I love it here!

Bruschi's Mom Christen here......tomorrow we will be driving Maggie to meet her new adoptive parents and say our good-byes. She is a sweet little girl and is going to be a wonderful addition to their family! She will be missed terribly.....and I am crying as I type this. If the timing worked out better, we would be adopting her. I am really happy that we were able to give her a safe and happy home until her forever family came along! It's very rewarding but very hard to say Good-Bye!

Pet Cozy?

Any one ever try this blanket?

Pet Cozy

Mommy saw it on a commercial this morning, and it caught her eye because there was a puggle on it!
We had to throw out my brown blanket.....yes, the one I JUST got! It was shedding pills of brown stuff all over the house and my puggle hair just stuck to it and wouldn't come off! So now we need a new blanket for the brown couch and were hoping someone could give us some feedback on this one.
Do the enzymes really work or is it yet another gimmick?!

World's Biggest Duck!

Check out my new stuffie! This is one big duck! Daddy bought him for me, for being such a tolerant puggle of little Maggie! This duck squeaks, and quacks and even grunts! BOL

As soon as Daddy gave it to me, I carried him right to my bed!

What's that you say Mr. Duck? You would prefer that I don't chew on your beak? AND you want me to stop biting your belly? Boy you sure are one bossy duck!

Playtime with Puggles!

Just a closeup of Miss Maggie to show off her cuteness! No wonder I get along so well with her, she's adorable! BOL

Daddy had a special heart tag made for her with her name on it. She didn't have any tags, and I have three!!

Just a few action shots from this morning! From sunrise to sundown....we just love to play and play and play!

Have no fear.....these fangs are for love bites only!

Another shot of Mags....I think she's starting to know how cute she is!
She likes to lay by the bath mat and wait for Mommy to get out of the shower!

Happy Friday to all my furiends!
