It was the St. Paddy's Day Pug-A-Lug at the Urban Dog last Sunday in support of Pugalug Pug Rescue in Toronto. It was AWESOME.
Dozens of pugs on the loose. A dream come true. All these little fur balls running up to me looking for attention, giving kisses.
I'm not sure if Daisy had such a great time. He prefers humans to dogs, but I hope that he took away something positive from this experience -- a bit of interest in other dogs, a curiosity of what they are about. He's very tentative around other dogs, only going up to them when they have turned away and he thinks they are not looking. I hope that he got over some of his fears that day.
My heart swelled during the times when he left my side to investigate his surroundings and check out other dogs and greet other people. I was so proud of him.
There may be more pugs in my life. Steve and I are moving in together in 3 weeks and we will have a BIG backyard and we`re considering being foster parents to rescued pugs without homes. I think it will be difficult for me to say goodbye to the pugs after they`ve been placed with their forever families. And how will the new BEIGE couch fair with all the pugs, I wonder. There`s also the issue of Steve not wanting the pugs to sleep in our bed with us (other than Daisy, of course). Hmmmm...not sure how I feel about that. Falling asleep in a bed with Steve and a couple of snoring pugs sounds like a sweet dream to me. We shall see how it goes.
Might be time to upgrade to a king size bed. I`ve always known my heart was bigger than a queen size.
