Meet Pugsley

 

Sir Pugsley came into our lives last month. It was quite serendipitous the way everything came about. We had been looking and going through several rescue shelters trying to adopt, but weren't having any luck. It had gotten stressful, and heartbreaking after awhile. I had given up hope, and stopped looking.  It was actually my sister that told me about Pugsley. It seriously happened from one day to another. It was all very fast, and felt very meant. I didn't tell the girls about Pugsley because I wanted to surprise them. It was so sweet seeing their reactions when they first saw their new pup, especially Adele's. She didn't know what to make of this walking stuffed animal. 

Sami has done a great job of watching after Pugsley, so far. Sometimes she'll get distracted and forget to feed him at his scheduled time. We try to feed him around the same time each day. Emma is Pugsley's protector. She'll get extremely upset if anyone raises their voice at him. She defends him to the core. Adele is Pugsley baby sister. Seeing them interact is like watching two babies trying to figure each other out. It's cute to watch. Adele will look over her shoulder sometimes to make sure Pugsley is following her wherever she goes. Sometimes she punks him, but I think that's her way of showing she cares. Pugsley is the first thing she looks for when she wakes up. 

It has been a little challenging at times because it's like having another baby in the house. The potty training, the waking up in the middle night and now the biting! I have to keep reminding myself that he's a baby and doesn't know better. I know he'll eventually grow out of it, but man do his little teeth hurt.
