I have owned over five pugs in my life, each with their own unique pesonalities and each saved from possible death. Every one loved to eat, would eat anything, even non-edible things, and had absolutely no appetite turn off. For grooming him, we made sure to get the right dog grooming scissors too. Muggs was the first of many to be adopted by us; adopted from a relative at the age of three, because the owner wanted to put him down. He was so fat he could hardly walk after being fed as much food as he wanted, which was everything he saw! Rikki was also adopted at age 3, from the pound where he had been found begging for food from a local fast-food restaurant.
Maggie was adopted at three, too, from a pug rescue organization, grossly overweight. Rocky another hound we picked up from the pound, had a poor health due to heartworm issues when he was seven. We also picked up Tinkerbell (who was blind) from the pound, which at the time had a dislocated hip as a result of being mounted by a large male dog. The hip problem she suffered had gone uncared for. Her blindness came from dry eye which was never addressed. She was simply a breeder. I’m glad to say that Maggie and Tinkerbell are still with me to this day. They love to sleep on their small dog beds! Muggs, Rocky and Rikki look down from doggie heaven, remembering the wonderful life they ended up with after a bad beginning. They all ate the best food, got the most love, companionship and health care.
One thing they didn’t get was as much food as they wanted, which would have caused them to explode! I will never forget Muggs eating an entire hambone after Easter dinner, which in my inexperience I had given him to gnaw on. Do not ever do that! He ate the whole thing and was sick for a week, during which time I had to promise the vet not to feed him anything but water for a few days. It was hard but I did it, and learned a valuable lesson. When Maggie ate a rosemary bush, she recuperated much quicker because by then I knew from experience that this was the proper thing to do with gluttonous pugs. Also, cleaning up dog hair from the couches is a breeze because they don’t shed much.
