Mr. Manny Pug is 7 years old today!! Ofically a "senior" dog. Born on May 17, 2005 and I brought him home on August 31, 2005 He came from a breeder in Kansas where his dad was "Big Bad Bahamut" and his mom was "Tequila Sunrise IV", however I found him as an 8 week old puppy in a pet store in a local mall right after I moved to Florida in July of 2005. I am not sure why or how he ended up at a pet store but he came with breeders paperwork as well as vet paperwork as he has just been fixed prior to me bringing him home. All I know is that I brought him home as a little puppy, discovered that he had kennel cough, helped get him healthy again and since then he has been spoiled rotten and loved everyday!!! He is my oldest baby and I truly love him like he is one of my children
I have always wanted a pug...some say they are ugly, but I think they are cute. They are loving, very funny, great with kids, love to snuggle and be near their owner, like to be outside but don't need an excessive amount of exercise.
Facts about Manny
This is Manny on two days after I brought him home, not sure who is more in love already.
He is very sweet and protective of babies....now once you are old enough to start eating food he gets a little bolder...not mean....just bolder.
He thinks that anyone that comes to our house is there for him; to feed him, play with him; and snuggle him.
Favorite food: French Fries...preferrably from Mcdonald's he's just like his mama. 2nd favorite food, chicken nuggets...again...just like his mama :)
Manny HATES to be wet...that's what trying to housebreak a puppy in a hurricane will do to you I guess.
He is a pug, that means ALWAYS hungry and will do just about ANYTHING to get some food. Yes even be so bold as to push his siblings down and steal there food. Gross as it sounds he has even tried to take food out my hand and mouth as I was trying to eat it....he's a dog, he doesn't care.
On that note Manny will eat just about anything except veggies....I mean, can you blame him???
He has severe allergies... go figure my human children don't but my canine child does....he is allergic to dust mites and storage mites which are damn near impossible to completely remove from your house so we are on a strict schedule of expensive medications, bathing every 10-14 days (remind you he hates being wet), because of his allergies and being a pug he is prone to yeast growing in his ear and facial wrinkles to we have meds for that as well. Pugs also don't like being groomed so all of the bathing and cleaning is NOT a good time.
He is a BIG pug....he has a few extra pounds on him but he has always been bigger than breed standards and always will.....I think I know why his dad was named "Big Bad Bahamut"
There is no such thing as a cheap vet visit with this dog, but he is worth every penny I have ever spent on him!!
