Ridiculous Cuteness!

Pugsley has had this pink beanie bear since he was just a baby. Even though its quite large, he manages to trot around with it in his mouth, take him upstairs and onto the bed at night. As Pugs was all cuddled up with my husband watching some television before bed, I glanced down and caught this adorable view of Pugsley's little paws coming out over Pink-Bear's shoulders!

Pugsley was of course passed old cold and snoring like a beast - but he couldn't be happier curled up with his human and Pink-Bear before bed!

Mini Spa Night

Tonight I noticed that Smokey was tilting his head funny to find things....when I looked a little closer I realized that the little guy needed a good trim around his eyes so he could see! I put him up on the counter and he let me cut the hair around his eyes no problemo! I figured since he was already on the counter I pulled out the clippers and did his nails too! Smokey is also great in the bath - usually he ends up in the tub every time we go to the dog park since he likes to splash and roll in the puddles. This guy is such a treat to foster, and I know some lucky family out there is going to be so thrilled with him as an addition!

This is such a cute photo of "My Dream Team" ~ how can these faces NOT make one smile?!?!

Pugsley Video!

Here is a short clip of Pugsley and Smokey burning off some steam at the park :) Smokey is soooo fast and lean, but God bless little Pugsley (who is built more like a pot-bellied pig) for trying to keep up! LOL.

A Pug-In-The-Bed

Whoever the lucky family is that adopts Mr. Pugsley is going to find bedtime a hoot! When Pugsley knows its time for bed, he likes to jump right in the middle and he'll wait while you get your pj's on, brush your teeth etc.

Pugsley loves to sleep with his humans at night, and he has since he was just a baby. We tried once to make him sleep on his dog bed (beside our bed) and we lost that battle miserabley! I think he wore us down in about 2 minutes flat with his disgruntled snorts, grunts and anxious pacing....wondering what he could have possibly done wrong that would revoke his bed priviledges (lol). Besides...how can you say no to this face?

Smokey & Pugsley

Smokey and Pugsley have really bonded this week. They like to play, romp and wrestle! They often enjoy napping side by side - but often Pugsley wakes Smokey up with his snoring.....and Smokey will wake Pugsley up when his long legs reach out to stretch and they tickle his back! lol.

We have had Smokey since July 1st and cannot believe he has not yet found his forever home!!!!

He is a loyal companion, he is affectionate, playful and is very well behaved.

We would love for Smokey to go to a home where there is another playful dog for him to be friends with OR to a moderately active home that likes to go for walks, hikes and visits the dog park. Smokey looooves to go out and about! He loves car rides, has beautiful leash manners and has an A++ personality.

Here is Smokey with his foster siblings! From top to bottom: Jersey, Mr. Pugsley (also available for adoption!), Smokey & Roxy.

Smokey has complete run of the house while we are at work with the other dogs. He also sleeps on his dog bed at night (which is right beside our bed) - although in the wee early hours of the morning, he likes to jump up quietly and curl in beside you.

Smokey will not disappoint and is absolutely the sweetest guy around. We are looking for a very special home, for this very special boy! Could that be you?

One Week with Pugs!

I can't believe its been just over a week already since the Pugster arrived! I would say that he has settled in nicely to our routine. Clearly he is a very happy guy. He loves to play with his foster brothers and sisters and absolutely enjoys (and needs) his walks. Oh you should hear the snorting that goes on when he sees us heading for the leash and collars :)

Sometimes when Pugsley is deep in thought he puts on his "serious face" lol. Don't let it fool you, this guy is comedian-style all the way.....and is always looking for some fun & play!

He loves to chase the tennis ball around and sometimes when you throw it to him, he'll even bring it back too or he will proudly strut around with it in his mouth.

He is a sucker for attention of ANY kind. If pets are being distributed, rest-assured he's right there to cash in on some!

Awwwww, Pugsley smiling! LOL. Actually sometimes his bottom teeth get stuck in his jowls, but when it happens it looks like he is giving us a crazy little smile :)

He likes to nap in all of the favourite doggy resting spots! The sofa (but only on the part that the throw is on).

The small little nook in the corner.

And the big fluffy bed in the middle of the living room.

Puglsey is always up front and centre when he thinks there are treats to be had. Goofy guy.

While he is really enjoying his time in foster care, he also can't wait to have a family of his very own!

Welcome Pugsley!

What a mug on this one!!!!! Puglsey was surrendered this weekend by his owner of almost 4 years. She loved him VERY much and took good care of him. Unfortunately her job called for her to work very long hours (10-12 hrs) and she contacted LOYAL to see if we could find him a home that loves him just as much as she does, but has more time to spend with him.

Pugsley is actually mixed with a Jack Russell Terrier, although he looks just like a pug with a slightly protruding snout -has the personality of a pug too!

He is housetrained and had run of the apartment when his owner went to work. She never had any issues with him barking, having accidents, or being destructive when she left him. He is good with other dogs and likes to go for walks.

We're going to keep you updated as he settles in - He is understandably so missing his owner and wondering where he is. His owner packed a nice big trunk filled with all of his toys, food, treats, bed etc. that we will be sure to pass along to his new adoptive home too.

A few pictures below for you!

I think its such a riot the way he sprawls out with his little legs sticking out behind!

Here he is on the couch with foster dad looking for some attention :)

This picture was taken through the glass so there is a bit of a glare on it....but here is Mr. Mooshy face asking to come inside. Smooches! I love him!

Videos!

Roxy, Jersey, Jack & Smokey romping in the water!

A little clip of Smokey playing with LOYAL's Herby!



Smoke-A-Roni!

He likes to lay in my laundry piles.

Loooves going on car rides (short or long!). 

Likes to talk to us from the back seat :)

Loves to go on walks!

Enjoys it when we roll the car windows down our way back from the dog park so that he can dry off :) 

Clearly he has mastered his "I didn't do it" face. 

Loves spending time outdoors sun-tanning with his foster sisters.

Tanning is even better when he uses Jersey as a pillow!

When it's too hot he is sure to ask to come inside!



Fridaaaaaay!!!

Smokey says.....TGIF! He's looking forward to spending the day with other LOYAL humans & furries at the BBQ in Peterborough tomorrow!

A little more on Smokey....

Smokey has been here for 4 whole days already and it feels like we've had him forever! He just has such a great energy about him, it is evident he has been well loved, cared for and socialized with people and other pets.

He loves to hit the toybox in the morning and takes great pride selecting a 'treasure'.

He likes to put both paws on the tennis ball, but will eventually roll it towards you so that you'll throw it for him :)

Smokey and my 36 pounder, Jersey, have been having an absolute blast together. They romp, they chase, they mouth, they tug...When Jersey flips over on her back, Smokey is there pawing at her for more. We've had him at the dog park and he is wonderful there. A cute video clip of Smokey and Jersey playing in the backyard :)

Welcome Smokey Bear!

Welcome Smokey! Please check back, we'll have some more photos, videos and updates soon!

**Adopted!**

Thank you for your inquiries! I am pleased to announce that Punch has found his forever home!

Punch & the Singing, Dancing, Puppy!

Okay, so Punch's previous family sent him home with some of his favourite toys. He hasn't shown much interest in playing lately however I pulled out the Singing, Dancing, Christmas Puppy last night and Punch was beyond excited! Take a look at the little video below (Roxy the "fun police" was on patrol and didn't like too much comotion going on in the kitchen so that is her letting out those barks in the beginning).

Punch at the Park

We decided to try Punch at the dog park in Manotick tonight! He was definitely game for new adventures :)

Punch takes a quick break from sniffing to watch a duck fly by!

For someone who hated my camera two days ago, he sure doesn't seem to mind saying cheese now!

Here is a short video!

Punch and foster sister Jersey watching the boats pass!

I think the smile stayed on his face for the entire walk :) The park was really not that busy and I was looking forward to checking out his reaction to other furries. He did meet 2 large golden retrievers and exchanged a few quick sniffs, but it was clear he was a little nervous so we kept walking on.

We did have him on leash, however since he was literally following my footsteps I dropped the leash to see how he would do. Stuck to me like glue!

Bye-bye park! See you tomorrow!

*** CHARLIE - ADOPTED! June 11, 2011 ***

Congratulations Charlie! Enjoy your forever home little man!

Sun & Smiles!

Friday night (and understandably so!) Mr. Punch was a little unsure of his new surroundings. While the door  was left open, he preferred the comfort of his crate.

Even in the morning with the bright light coming through the window, I wasn't sure if he would come out to say hello.

Of course, once he had his breakfast and a nice walk around the neighbourhood, Punch figured it wouldn't be so bad to explore the backyard.

And this is when the smiling started!!

The camera seemed a little scary at first, but as you can see - its looking like he was born to model :)

He actually has this funny underbite that he likes to show off once in awhile!

His smile gets so big sometimes it looks like he's laughing!

With all of the walking, sunny backyard adventures....and posing for the camera - Punch was happy to retreat inside after dinner for a nice long nap!
