Pug Fashion Show

Just a few of Honey's outfits...



Like Mother, Like Daughter

Honey takes after me when it comes to sleeping and waking up.  It doesn't matter if it's four in the morning or four in the afternoon, if she's not ready to get up, she's not ready.

Owl

One of the first toys we bought Honey was this natural owl stuffie.  She seemed to prefer him to her other guys, so I went back to the drugstore I had bought him at, but they didn't have them anymore.  Over the last couple of years, I have been able to pick up a couple of them at pet stores, but no one seems to carry it regularily. So Honey is without an owl until I can find them again.

Cowgirl

When Honey isn't on a lap, she can be found looking out the front window, usually sitting on the armchair.  I was pretty surprised the first time I saw her straddling the arm as it looks so awkward and she seems to be embarrassed.  But she continues to sit like this regularly, and now Boo does too.

They Grow Up So Fast

22 weeks old
10 weeks old

A couple of weeks after we got Honey, she started sitting on this shelf in our kitchen every morning after her breakfast. (Classic Pug Show routine.)  She did this for a couple of months until there wasn't room for a pug to chill.  After that she would try it out every once in awhile, but eventually it became impossible.

Cuddle Pugs

Bringing Home Baby

When we got Boo in August of 2010, the only advice we had heard on bringing home a new dog was to introduce them at a neutral location, so we brought Honey to the playground across the street, and introduced her to Boo, the three-pound, fearless, terror.  Honey was wary.  Sometimes she still is.  But their relationship has grown from Boo pestering Honey all day, every day, to Boo and Honey rolling around playing, chasing each other around the house, and cuddling up together to sleep.  Although I would say that all togetherness is still instigated by Boo.

Insurance Pug

We decided to get another pug when Honey was about two years old. We thought it would be nice for Honey to have a companion, although I am a stay at home pug mama, so she was hardly ever alone.  And we were getting sick of fighting over whose lap she would sit on for TV and movie watching.  However, the main reason we wanted to get another pug was that I was afraid that when Honey died, if we didn't already have another pug, I would never want to get one again because of how awful it will be to lose one.  I can only imagine how we will feel when we lose her, and that is enough to know I can't come back to a pugless house.  I also think we will find comfort in our other little guy while we grieve, although she will be grieving too.  Now, of course, we love Boo as much as Honey, so I guess we need another backup pug!
