Each and every pet owner recognizes that like any animals, cats will need our own interest and should not be physically hurt. The majority of cat breeds have become very easy to acquire care yet Persian cats demand specific interest. Persian cats possess long and also soft fur so many might feel that dropping might [...]

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything... A lot has happened!! Mom and Dad say my di a beat us is under control and that I am very good about getting my shots twice a day. My vet, Dr. Faulls, agrees! I really like her, except when she says not to eat too many treats.
We had an addition to the family in December..
We adopted Zack from the Animal Welfare Association. He came to NJ from a shelter in GA. I overheard Dad tell someone that Zack was on death row but we saved him. Don't know what that all means, but I'm glad I have a little brother, He is about a year old but that was all we knew. Mom and Dad did a DNA test on him and we learned that he is a mix of Welsh Terrier (25%), Brittany Spaniel (25%), Weimeraner (25%), Jack Russell, Bull Dog and Pulli (11% for all 3) and oddly 14% Chinese Crested!
So my folks decided to do the DNA test on me and Ruby. We all know that I have always been a BIG puggle, I weigh 34 pounds now but I was 42 pounds before I got sick. Well... turns out I'm a second generation puggle. My father was a pug/beagle mix but my mother was a pug/English Foxhound mix! Well I still say i am a puggle!!

Ruby was the last to be tested. We always thought she was pure beagle. But as she got older, it looked like her legs were too short and her body too round (sorry Ruby) to be all beagle. Mom thought she was part Basset Hound, and Dad agreed. We were all really surprised to find out she is 3/4Bbeagle and 1/4 Pembroke Welsh Corgi! So that explains the slightly pointy nose, short legs and the fluffy fur around her chest and neck.
We are quite the mixed up happy family!!!

Hi guys! I know its been a while since we've posted anything, mommy has been a slacker. Its getting warmer in jersey so mommy has been working on her tan. Jack thought he needed to work on his tan too.
Since its almost beach season i decided i should start working on my body for all the ladies out there. Jack already has a girlfriend so he doesnt have to worry about his weight. Ebby loves him despite his 37lbs.
Jack was lucky enough to go to work with mommy last month for bring your child to work day. He sat at her computer and was ready to take over. He even got to wear a headset. 911 where is your puggle emergency?
We hope everyone out there is enjoying their spring!

So about this little sister thing, I've been thinking and I kinda like having her around sometimes... I mean don't get me wrong she can be annoying and I let her know when she's being annoying but overall I think we're becoming pretty close. Tess I didn't mean fur real.... I meant like I wouldn't let no one pick on you or beat you up only I can do that.. Hehe

It’s beach time!
Preston hit the beach on Galveston Island this weekend.
The beach here is not the prettiest because there are piles of dead seaweed but it is the most fun for the puggle who loves to sniff!
It was Nolan’s first time playing in the sand. He was full of curiosities.
(Thank Preston’s best puggle buddies, Oliver and Jack, for the summer shorts Nolan is wearing)
This trip was even more fun than last year’s because Preston got a brother to play with him this time!

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that one of Mommy's closest friends in the world, Caitlyn, lost her baby Brady last night. If you recall a few months ago, I had posted about how he was diagnosed with Cardio Myopathy. Sadly, yesterday his battle came to an end.
Her worst fear in the world was coming home from work to find him........and her worst fear came true.
He was alive when she got home but had collapsed, barely breathing, and lost control of his functions.
When Mommy got the text message, she burst into tears and cried all night.
Brady was only five years old......he would have turned six next month.
Brady was a beagle mix who was very much loved by his family and all who met him.
His family is suffering greatly right now as they had to put him to sleep.
His sister, Maddie, crossed Rainbow Bridge less than 2 years ago to cancer and they were the best of friends. So I am picturing them together, reunited at last, romping through all the green grass under the bright rays of sunshine!
Brady, you have a special place in the heart of my Mommy and of course of your Mommy and Daddy and all those who knew and love you. Your memory will FOREVER live on in our hearts.
Mommy found this poem and would like to dedicate it to Brady:
The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree,
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close,we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree,
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close,we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
And also, Mommy fell in love with this poem: Caitlyn, may your heart ache a little less.
ROOM IN YOUR HEART
Sorrow fills a barren space;
you close your eyes and see my face
and think of times I made you laugh,
the love we shared, the bond we had,
the special way I needed you -
the friendship shared by just we two.
The day's too quiet, the world seems older,
the wind blows now a little colder.
You gaze into the empty air
and look for me, but I'm not there -
I'm in heaven and I watch you,
and I see the world around you too.
I see little souls wearing fur,
souls who bark and souls who purr
born unwanted and unloved -
I see all this and more above -
I watch them suffer, I see them cry,
I see them lost, I watch them die.
I see unwanted thousands born -
and when they die, nobody mourns.
These little souls wearing fur
(Some who bark and some who purr)
are castaways who - unlike me -
will never know love or security.
A few short months they starve and roam,
Or caged in shelters - nobody takes home.
They're special too (furballs of pleasure),
filled with love and each one, a treasure.
My pain and suffering came to an end,
so don't cry for me, my person, my friend.
But think of the living -
those souls with fur
(some who bark and some who purr) -
And though our bond can't be broken apart,
make room for another in your home and
your heart.
