Pugsley

On Wednesday, April 22nd Pugsley passed away. He became sick on Tuesday, April 21st and suddenly went down hill within a day. We had blood tests and xrays done at the vet's office but they couldn't find anything wrong. We are still in shock as to what happened and why he was taken from us so quickly.

For those of you who know us well know that Pugsley was more like our little boy rather than our pet. Nathan's family in Spokane, Washington owned Pugsley (until he was around 2 years old or so) and wanted to get rid of him so we had him flown over to us in 2002 I believe. I couldn't wait for him to get here as I fell in love with him the minute I saw him in Spokane. He has lived with my parents, Nate's parents, in our first home (The Yellow Rental) and our newly built home. We have tried to give him the best puppy life he could possibly have with tons of treats, a special dinner every night, his little toys (his favorite was the little mice cat's play with) and a comfy bed. I don't know how many times I just stared at that dog thinking I couldn't love anything more than I loved him. He was always by my side no matter what I was doing....watched me cook dinner every night, sat beside me while I cleaned the house, barked when I swept the floors and the list goes on and on. Nathan and I never thought we would loose Pugsley when we did and we have both taken it very hard. He was so special to both of us and no other pet will ever take his place. We buried him in a sunny place in our woods where flowers bloom each year and plan on ordering a stone with his picture on it.
