Happy Gotcha Day Eli!!!!

Hi everyone! Today is our sweet Eli's Gotcha Day! He came to live with us 1 year ago today! We're not sure how old he is, but we think he's about 4 now. We're going to take the Posse to the park in a little bit and their buddy Lilo is coming over later. For now, enjoy these pictures from Eli's first year with us!

Have a great weekend!

Pug hugs and kisses!

Eli's Gotcha Day

Hi everyone! Pug Mama here. I've been really bad about pug birthdays, but this Saturday is a day that cannot be missed! It's Eli's Gotcha Day! Sidney, Jasmine, and Pippin were all breeder pugs that we got as puppies. When Sid died last year we found Kentuckiana Pug Rescue and fell in love with little Eli. He was rescued from a backyard breeder and he was sooooooo skinny. He also had worms which is part of the reason he was so skinny. And he has that pug eye pigmentation problem. Because of it his eye sight is not the best, but he has the biggest heart!
Here he is when we first brought him home...he was so skinny that his head looked so big!!!
Such a sweet little face... Eli was so skinny and Pippin was so....fluffy...
He is a great head-tilter. One of his nicknames is "Bobble-head". These pictures kind of make me sad because he was so skinny and so desperate for love and attention. He is such a wonderful little pug and is so healthy now!
He has such a big fluffy tail too. And the hair right between his eyes (just above the nose fold) forms a little mohawk :-)
He didn't waste any time getting acquainted with our backyard... This is one of my favorite pictures of Eli...his little runway model pose...Zoolander maybe?
Pippin seemed to like having a little buddy from the beginning...he was a little buddy for a long time until Sid died...Now he's the PugFather and Eli is his little sidekick ;-)

Eli really took a liking to Pip too...

Can you belive how skinny he was?

Now, a year later, Eli has won the KPR kissing contest 3 times and he came in second place once!

Eli does a great Blair Witch Pug...

I am so glad this little baby came into our lives...

And I think he's kind of happy about it too :-)

I'm going to try to share some more pictures tomorrow and Saturday we're going to try to have a pug picnic at the park! Anyone who wants to join us is welcome!

Pug hugs and kisses!

Friday Frolicking

Hey everyone! Big Ern here. It has been so hot here in the Midwest that we haven't been doing too much. Well, that and the parents are busy working and our boy, Sam just started high school this past Tuesday! So when the Pug Mama came home today, she went outside with us and took some pictures. We are such good looking pugs, if I say so myself! Mama was noticing how good Pippin is looking. She said he has lost a lot of weight in the past year...

Eli quickly surveyed the yard for anything new...

Neecy sniffed at what was supposed to be the garden while I patrolled the yard...

He's not known as the PugFather for nothing...he is the boss...

My dear Jasmine is feeling much better but she didn't appreciate Neecy checking her rear end...

Isn't she the most beautiful thing?

Bernice was especially wiggly outside...

I think Pippin was imagining the treats he was going to get later...

Eli survived an alien attack...

"I iz soooo skerd"

Eddie wouldn't stand still enough for Mama to get any really good pictures of him...his loss!

Gus is always happy...

The PugFather summoned his campadres to investigate a noise...

Really, she is the most beautiful creature alive...

Yes, he is still happy...

We're checking everything out...

No, Bernice, quit trying to contact the mothership!

That little alien is so noisy! And it's so hot out here. Let's go inside already and get treats!!!

Bernice thought she actually saw the mothership...

Ok, enough already...where are those treats???

I think Jasmine was trying to impersonate Lilo...just look at those wrinkles!

Eli ran towards Mama when she said the magic word..."TREATS"...

He may not see too well, but there is nothing wrong with his hearing! He heard the word!!!

Ok, she's my sister, but I have to admit, she really does look like an alien!!!

Have an awesome weekend!!!!!

Pug hugs and kisses,

Ernest Puggingway and the Pug Posse
