Jaxson
Sadly Jaxson lost his battle with Kennel Cough and Pneumonia during the night. It really angers us that a shelter would have allowed his condition to become what it was before turning him over to the rescue. He had been at the shelter since February 1st and we picked him up on the 14th. The only consolation is he will be in a better place and no longer be neglected as he was.

Daisy
We adopted Daisy August 5, 2007. She was 7 years old at the time and what a beauty! Love at first sight really does happen. It sure happened for Daisy and my husband and I! We fell in love with each other and into our lives she came. The next few months brought many changes in Daisy's life - my father was diagnosed with cancer and was at our home for 2 weeks. Daisy put on her nursing cap and was a great source of joy to my father and a great comfort to me. After Dad passed, Miss Daisy put on her grief counselor hat and carried me on her little shoulders through many a sad day and night. Daisy and I always walked together - she was known in our neighborhood as the "Power Walking Pug"! She could really cruise! Daisy also loved to sit in the sun. We have many pictures of her on her "lounge chair" on our patio soaking up the sun! After Dad passed away, she insisted that we continue our walks every day and through those walks she helped me move on and remember Dad with a smile instead of tears. In December 2011, my father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and came to our house to stay while in hospice. Once again, Miss Daisy donned her nursing cap and kept close watch next to his bed. He had many a conversation with her during the two weeks he was at our house and she listened intently to every word. Shortly after my father-in-law passed away, we noticed a few changes in Daisy. We took her to our vet who gave us the grim diagnosis - cancer. She had seen both of her grandpas through this dreaded disease and now we were needed to help her through it. The cancer spread rapidly and on January 25, 2012, we helped her cross the Rainbow Bridge. Our hearts are so broken. Although her physical presence may be gone, her soul - oh her sweet, gentle and beautiful soul - will be ever present. We know that our little girl is power walking again with both of her grandpas and enjoying the Heavenly sunshine! How we will always treasure our Daisy! God bless you, our beautiful girl.

Wilbur
Wilbur came into our lives when he was 11 months old and his owner could no longer take care of him. He was a wonderful pug. Many strangers commented on how beautiful he was but he was also gentle, playful and full of energy. We noticed early on that he needed to drink huge amounts of water every day so we had him examined by the vet. They soon determined Wilbur had a congenital problem with his liver and surgery was recommended. Although we were told he was a good candidate for surgery, Wilbur never recovered. He was 15 months old when he died. Although he was only in our lives for 4 months, he was the most beautiful and charming dog an owner could ever ask for. We loved him and tried our best to save him but it wasn't meant to be. We have let him into our hearts and there he will remain with us forever. Henry and Shelley

Jack
This is my Jack, my dearest, sweetest boy. Jack originally came to me as a foster child. In fact, Jack was my very first Pug foster. To make a long story short - I was moving, gave Jack to another foster, moved. I missed Jack so much during and after my move, I went back and adopted him. Jack was a little old man with numerous health issues. But, I didn't care, I loved him. And Jack loved me. That's all that mattered. Jack loved playing and being with all his Pug sisters, his Pek sister and, his 3 feline sisters. They all cuddled and slept together, with me. The last 3 days of my Jackie Boys life, his sisters and I never left his side. On the morning of 1/25/2012, Jack let me know it was time. He was ready to go over the Rainbow Bridge and get his angel wings. Jack will be truly and deeply missed by a lot of people, especially his family - Mommy Loves You Baby Boy !!! XOXOXO P.S. This pic was taken the day Jack received his angel wings !!!

Bubba
This week we lost Bubba. He had been my grandson Jack's Pug for as long as Jack has been on this earth. Bubba was his pillow, his friend and his companion. There was nothing that Jack would do that Bubba would not tolerate. When his brother Wyatt came along, Bubba was already suffering from Diabetes and was blind. It did not matter. Bubba became Wyatt's pillow friend and tolerated both boys. He will be missed by everyone. Larry and Kathy Nathan
