PLEASE HELP!
Hello! I received this email from a friend and wanted to post it on my site. The Animal Rescue does so much and to be able to help assist them means much to me as well.
Free Food for Animal Shelters
Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple.. Please tell ten (or more) friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. It's in a purple box in the middle of the page. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals inexchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Contest for Cutest Christmas Puggle Picture
I am going to offer a contest for the cutest christmas puggle picture out there!
If you send me your pic, I will post it to my blog and then voters can comment on each picture. The picture that has the most comments (good ones that is) will win my free e-book: Puggle Hugs: All About Puggles! So, why not send me a pic?
I will start by adding my pic of Reece with his santa stocking on. Isn't he cute??
While I am at it, I might as well add Daisy's Christmas Picture as well-Isn't she the cutest beagle ever??? :)
Videos of Puggles
Just wanted to say, make sure you check out some of the puggle videos located at the right of my blog. My kids and I spent a good hour laughing our heads off at some of them. They are hilarious! For us puggle lovers, these are just the most cutest videos to watch and say "awww". Enjoy!
Does their batteries ever wear out??
I got an email the other day that I wanted to share with all of you. The title of this just cracks me up! But, I have to admit that it is a question I think all of us puggle owners ask. I know I do at least! :)
Christy:
We came upon our Lily, a standard puggle, last Christmas. She was a gift to our soon to be 18 year old daughter as a bribe to have her choose to attend a local college rather than sleep-away. Well, Lily, was a year in October and our daughter attends school at SUNY New Paltz.
I really love her and I consider her house trained. She is spiteful and if she cannot follow me to the laundry room, she will piddle my floor. I tried letting her out before I go to the laundry room but... well you can figure out the rest.
I still crate her when I leave for work. She doesn't seem to mind. She sees me getting ready to walk out the door and runs to her crate. I am hoping to have be able to have the run of the main area of the house by the time she is two years old. BUT that is still not my issue...
She is a bundle of energy. Almost obssessive compulsive. She gets plenty of play time with humans as well as with her canine companion, large 55 lb. mixed breed that is four years old.
Will she every calm down a bit? She passes out with exhaustion and sleeps the night but once I am up in the morning....eat, out, play, rest, play, etc.
Any advice? Love my Lilypup. I could eat her up. AND I DIDN'T WANT ANOTHER DOG!!
Carol

Unfortunately for Carol, I didn't have the best of a response to her question: :)
Well, my puggle, Reece, NEVER does. He is about the same age as Lily. He does the same thing and wears me out, COMPLETELY. I have four dogs and he wears them out as well, along with the cat, and my four kids. LOL
I wish I could tell you that she will calm down soon, but I think that is just the way puggles are. They get full bursts of energy and the next thing you know they are passed out from all of their playing. I am thinking maybe once they get older, they will calm down. I think they are just like children. HONESTLY! The older they get, the calmer they will get. I am hoping.
________________________________________
Now, my question and I think I will put up a new survey poll is this: Do you think your puggle will calm down once older?
Go and vote on the survey poll, I will then release the results in a few!
Thanks and happy puggle hugging! :)

Change My Puggles for another Dog? Not On Your Life!
Over the years, I’ve had a few different breeds of dogs, and I’ve loved them all. When I was a kid, for example, my folks had four poodles Kippy, Piere, Beau and Squiggy (yes, named after the show (Lavern and Shirley), and as fierce as it looked to strangers, it was nothing but a bunch of big cuddly toys to me and my sister. Then, as I hit my teens and the four poodles passed on, my mother brought home a box. Out popped this bull frog eye, snorting, wrinkled black animal. Was a dog or a pig?
At the time, our house had a circle hallway and all I can remember is this animal jumping out of the box and running into our bathroom, grabbing the toilet paper from the roller and running excitedly around the hallways in circles. Needless to say, the animal calmed down and I was able to take another look at her. Yes, it was a girl, a dog, and a Pug. My mom couldn’t resist her from the dog store in the local mall and so she brought her home. Her name was Katie and she became the baby of the household, literally! We couldn’t call her a dog, she had to be called Katie or baby and we even had to take turns, my sister and I, holding her bone for her while she chewed for hours on it. Sadly, Katie got older and passed on, but her spirit lives on forever in our families households. It was so bad, that my mom had to move out of the house that we lived in, because she couldn’t bear the memories of Katie and her favourite tree. My mom now has three dogs, which consist of two pugs and a shit-zuh.
Now that I’m older, married, and have four kids and my own home, I have four dogs as well, like when I was growing up. As much as I could have had one that was similar to the dogs I knew in my childhood, I wanted something different, something unusual – so I got myself a puggle.
For anyone who’s never seen a puggle, it’s a wonderful cross between a beagle and a pug, which in my mind has got to be one of the greatest mixes ever – kudos to the breeder who came up with that idea! For a better idea, next time you’re in Toys ‘r’ Us or any similar toyshop, have a look at the Pound Puppies, and you’ll see what I mean. Yet it’s not just the look of these cute dogs that I love so much.
Any dog I’ve ever had has always been affectionate – they’re not called man’s best friend for nothing! But there’s something about a puggle that seems to make them even more affectionate than the cuddliest dog. If I’ve had a rotten day at work and I want to come home and scream at the world, Reece (yeah, I know, not the greatest name, but I like it!) will come on over to me and rest his wrinkly little face on my lap. And when I look at him – well, I defy anyone not to melt when a puggle looks dolefully at you!
Even just the way Reece acts on an everyday basis – he probably doesn’t even realize he’s being funny, but that’s the beauty of puggles. Their noses are a little bit longer than the average dog and this can lead to some pretty funny moments. There have been times when I’ve been watching the television, and have almost collapsed laughing at the noises coming out of Reece as he sleeps. Remember the movie “Gremlins”, and the little noises that the main character Gizmo would make? This is exactly what a puggle can sound like at times.
One of the best things about puggles is that they’re such a conversation piece as well. Take a walk down the park, or on the beach, and people are will surround you dying to know about your little bundle of joy. And you thought it was just newborn babies that get all the love?! If you’re single and you want to attract a potential partner, trust me; buy a puggle!
There’s a whole ton of things I could say about Reece, or puggles in general. They’re adorable; they’re loving; they’re squishy. But when it comes down to it, nothing I could say would do these wonderful dogs justice. Reece has had babies with my Beagle, Daisy. Therefore, I guess you could consider me a part-time breeder. The love I had for adopting out my little baby puggles and the warm fuzzy feeling of finding them a home is priceless. If you are interested in puggles, the best thing to do is get in touch with a local breeder today and see for yourself what all the fuss is about. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
