Chico Todd Cornell
Chico Todd Cornell passed on 11-26-2007, we adopted Chico in 2001 a member of the family in every aspect. Allways kept his brother pug Pogo in line. In the evening Chico would take his spot on the couch to watch tv with the family, at bedtime Chico would choose which bedroom he would sleep in for there was a pillow bed in each room for him . When making dinner Chico would stand guard in the kitchen making sure if a piece of chicken or turkey meat would fall, Chico would be there to retrieve it. Chico was 13 years young ,all the family was with him when Chico passed, he,ll be sadly missed and in our memories.

Dharma Scooter Keener
The heartbeat at our feet Dharma "Scooter" Keener Adopted October 8, 2000 - Heaven January 15, 2007 The cutest pink little tongue always hanging out Straight leg running with ears flopping about Glorious singing to high-pitched tunes Spinning and spinning for moons Inquisitive looks that made you heart smile Laying in the sun with style Always waiting at the door Stinky breathe that you learned to adore Littlest pug that was a bed hog nonetheless An old school pugger whose life was blessed. Thank you for allowing her to be a part of our life. She was loved and will be missed. Brent, Aimme, Addison and Bandit

Sarah
Sarah Jean Nathan 22-Dec-2009 13:43 Sarah Jean Nathan was the first Pug we ever fostered. She had been running the streets of Taylor, Michigan. The animal control officer told a rescue that the breeder had moved away and left her on the streets to fend for herself. She had been severely mistreated with open wounds on her body that resembled those that would result from being whipped. She was afraid of people especially when there were more than 3 in a room. She would relentlessly bark. She did not like men with a baseball cap, leather jacket and/or work type boots. She would bark at them in a mean sounding bark. While my son lived with us he would come home and if he forgot to remove his hat and coat before entering the house he would bark at him. When he entered without the hat and coat she loved to greet him. She did not like the man who lived behind us, even though she could not see him through the bushes, because he played whiffle ball golf and the sound of him swinging was like that of a whip. She would bark at him the entire time he was playing. For the first two or so years, every chance she had she would try to run. Being a street dog she never lost the urge to go after any food that was left. She actually learned how to open a locked metal crate if another dog's food was in it. It took several years for her to trust people but she was always wonderful with children. One of our memories was when our cousin adopted a 2 year old Russian girl, Jenna, and not knowing any better she sat down while Sarah was eating her dinner and stuck her hand in Sarah's food. Sarah backed away and allowed Jenna to hand feed her. Any time our grandchildren came over, no matter how old they were, she would sit next to them on the floor as if she were guarding them. Once she was acclimated to our home and knew she was safe her personality changed. She no longer tried to run away and in fact we could take her into our yard which is not fenced and she would stay with us. Sara was about 13 years old when she went through the Rainbow Bridge to meet her sisters Ebony and Ivory on December 22, 2009. She will be dearly missed but we know she will no longer suffer.

Ivory
Ivory lived in a puppymill for 5 years until she went into heat and her female organs came out. They were stuffed back inside of her and she was put up for auction at a Missouri mill. She was rescued at auction by MPR. She acted as a surrogate mom for a pregnant Pug when she passed away during delivery, when MPR rescued several Pugs from a Pennsylvania mill in 2000. She will be missed by her sisters and us. Larry and Kathy Nathan
