It's a sleepy, lazy Sunday morning. I'm getting another nap now. 😴😴

This has been very accurate with our pugs, especially between Pixel and Anderson

🖤 Be honest... which team are you on?
🐾 Male Pug = Velcro Shadow
🐾 Female Pug = Tiny Boss
👇 MALE or FEMALE?

Any of our furriends thinking about going to PugFest? Daddy got the weekend off from work and momma just made a hotel reservation! Barring any unforeseen problems, we will be there! And we will come up with a gift basket to donate to raise funds for the rescue! Hope we will see you there!

Don’t forget to mark your calendars! And I posted earlier about looking for any suggestion, suggestions, input, recommendations on how to to improve this wonderful event. If you have any ideas, please feel free to mention them in the comments. But remember no drama and always be Polite.
It has been suggested to start charging a fee to enter the contests… would you pay to enter your dog into the contest? If so, how much would you be willing to pay for each contest you enter? Or do you think a set contest fee for the day would be better?
Yes, we are looking for donations of baskets for the basket raffle, also looking for donations for the bake sale so if you’d love to bake, please bake some extra to donate.
And again, suggestions are welcome

Hey, everypuggy! Sorry we disappeared for a week. It’s been…a bit of a week.

Last weekend, Pixel was competing in a CPE trial and while she did get a couple of qualifying scores in an event she loves, Pixel just wasn’t herself. Day two of the trial, she ran her first tunnel and then just completely quit. She wouldn’t engage with me, she wouldn’t run (and she loves to do everything FAST) so I scratched her from all her Sunday events and we came home.

She was still a bit out of pocket and “flat”. She would play a bit but then just go flat and lay down. Coincidentally she had her annual wellness exam scheduled for Monday and I mentioned to the Dogtor that she was out of sorts and I was concerned she was painful somewhere. It clearly wasn’t her legs but I was wondering about her neck or spine. Doc did a thorough physical and found some minor back pain. Well, that sure explained a LOT. At the trial, Pixel told me “no” and I listened and scratched her.

Her pain isn’t severe and she’s feeling great again. But we all know pug spines are delicate. This a big red flag to have pain at only 3 years of age. So Pixel has been retired from competition. As much as she loves CPE (Canine Performance Events) and Agility, I can’t risk her spine. She is officially a full time pet—not that she wasn’t before though! She will still have a full lifetime of fun and adventures. Pixel went with us to Home Goods, Home Depot, and a pet supply store with us and had a blast. But no more training classes, no more flying up and down A frames and teeter totters. That’s ok. I still have the best pug. ❤️

I think Pixel is broken 😂

Tonight I started “Rally” training class. Courtesy of mom’s bum knee, we won’t be doing agility any time soon 😭😭 We suspect momma has a torn meniscus but we won’t know for certain until after the MRI at the end of June!

But despite the knee, I’ll be doing a CPE “speed event” this weekend. Probably my first and last speed event for a while, again, cuz momma is broken! Momma says we’ve come to far to not do at least one trial and she can just hobble through LOL.

But I did really good at Rally class and that’s something momma can with her knee too so we still have fun events to look forward to! It’s not “zoom zoom” which I prefer but watcha gonna do? At least it’s mom that’s broken and not me 😂😂
