STILL PUGGING — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:48:27 GMT

Hi Everyone;

Well I have managed to get the day off and am attending the Pugnic with both of my boys and a friend who is bringing her 2 puglets, Bubba and BeBe.

Am looking forward to seeing familiar faces from Greenway but sadly forgive me as I may not be able to put a name to a face

The weather looks as if it is going to be fantastic on Sunday and should be the right temp for the puglets to enjoy a good run.

Don't forget to check out the Pugalug Booth!

again hope ...

Let's Chat...... gotta get started at some point...... :)

So we're heading to Ottawa this weekend, and my mother-in-law suggested we go to the By-town Association for Rescued Kanines (BARK) picnic. So i was just looking at their website, and came across this little story below. Annnnywaaayyss now i'm all teary-eyed at the office, and no dog next to me to reach down and pick up!

Bubba was going in to get his stitches out and when the door opened, there was Igor and his Pugpals Tracy and Sean!

We had a great chat and Bubba and I look forward to seeing Igor and his Pals at Greenway and also Elgin Pugnic!

Big hello to Igor, Tracy and Sean.

Nice to have met you!

Do you have a "pug tail" that involves you and your pug or another pug; share the humour and laughs or sadness and tears.

Bubba's Big Day!!

Lori — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 08:18:55 GMT

Bubba has bit the bullet and scheduled his "surgery" day for August 20!!

Bubba has decided that he needs to look handsome for the Pug Ladies and will be getting the lump on his eye removed, along with a lump located on his chest, a dental, nail trim and ear cleaning **cause we all know how Pug People just love to hear Pug Pals scream the death scream when they try to clean the ears and do the nails **

So Mr. Pugs and I want to wish bubba well and a speedy recovery

Hi;

For over 30 yrs I have lived in London.

I have 2 beautiful pugs; their names are Mr. Pugs (15yrs old) and Bubba (13yrs old) + my 2 angel pugs: Honey (14) (Bubba & Shyanne's Mum) & ShyAnne (12) (both left us last year for the Rainbow Bridge).

I had Mr. Pugs since he was a pup and when he was 11yrs old I decided that he needed a friend.

I went looking for 1 rescue pug and came home with 3

What a sweet but short time we had together. It was a riot and I miss my girls ...

This site is an excellent source for grinders, should you wish to start your pet on a healthy RAW diet. I have personally used one of their grinders for the past 4 yrs and have always had excellent results from it with no worries. These grinders are built in with a breaker so there is no worries of ever blowing the motor. I have ground chicken quarters with it along with turkey and other meats. I do recommend when grinding chicken bones and "especially" ...

The 100% Myth -- Problems Caused by Inadequate Nutrition

The idea of one pet food providing all the nutrition a companion animal will ever need for its entire life is a myth.

Cereal grains are the primary ingredients in most commercial pet foods. Many people select one pet food and feed it to their dogs and cats for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, companion dogs and cats eat a primarily carbohydrate diet with little variety. Today, the diets of cats and dogs are a far cry from the ...

The Manufacturing Process

How Pet Food Is Made

Although feeding trials are no longer required for a food to meet the requirements for labeling a food "complete and balanced," most manufacturers perform palatability studies when developing a new pet food. One set of animals is fed a new food while a "control" group is fed a current formula. The total volume eaten is used as a gauge for the palatability of the food. The larger and more reputable companies do use feeding ...

Plump whole chickens, choice cuts of beef, fresh grains, and all the wholesome nutrition your dog or cat will ever need.

These are the images pet food manufacturers promulgate through the media and advertising. This is what the $11 billion per year U.S. pet food industry wants consumers to believe they are buying when they purchase their products.

I have to first apologize to all the nice Pug people and Pug pals that the boys, Angel and I met tonite at Greenway

I honestly have to say my head was swimming after leaving the park, not entirely sure, but I think watching Angel run circles with her new found friends made me a bit dizzy

Symptoms generally include seizure, staggering walk, apparent blindness, lethargy, depression and neck pain. Dogs that are affected generally show signs that indicate a brain or nervous system problem.
