We had a houseful this weekend(clam digging). The first visitors we have had since Sophie died. Lucee has been a loving sweet friendly little pug since the day we brought her home. My daughter brought their golden retriever Sabrina. Now Lucee and Sabrina have always played and loved each other. Not this week-end! Lucee acted just like Sophie, a bossy-in-your-face french bulldog! She wouldn't share her toys. She would even jump up and grab Sabrina's ears (a frenchie trick that Sophie did). No one could believe it. I called an experienced pug breeder today and she says Lucee is trying to take Sophie's place. I thought Lucee didn't even miss Sophie and here she is grieving in her own way. So the breeder recommends we get a little male puppy. It seems that little pug females cater to the little pug males. So that is something to think about. I just miss Sophie so much that I cry when I try to talk about her. I'm trying to keep busy...

wow, how funny for lucee to try and act like sophie! (not for sabrina, though!) maybe lucee is really lonely and does need another pupster around. (i laughed a little at the "little pug females cater to the little pug males"...haven't they heard of women's lib? LOL) i am so sorry that you cry when you think of sophie. i was relieved when i could think of our vito with fond memories and laughter over remembered antics and quit 'just being sad' that he was no longer with us. and yes, for me, getting another dog did help. i just have too much love for fine furry friends to be without. it was not a negative reflection on vito, for sure; i did not replace "him", i replaced a dog. vito will always be special. i just needed to have another dog to love. i will always be happy that they had a few weeks together, because i did not feel guilty about getting kendall. vito loved him, too.

Bomba took on a whole bunch of Boomer's unique mannerisms after Boomer died. Gives me goosebumps when he does it.

Meet Charlie Chan age 3 months! We drove 400 miles today to get him and he is worth every drop of gas.

How sweet! It is easy to tell from the pictures that he has a big personality in his little body. His coat is just beautiful and I know he is getting lots of spoiling, as he should!

When we got there we put Lucee in their yard and they let the puppies out. The three of them made a beeline for Lucee and jumped on her..playing. Lucee hasn't been around puppies since she was 8 weeks old and she didn't know what was coming down. She tried to go behind DH and the pups were right behind her. So there they were going round and round DH and I am standing there laughing so hard I could not catch my breath. It ended up with DH having to hold Lucee. It was over a 3 hour drive to get back home so by the time we got here, Lucee was cleaning Charlies face and ears...acting like he is her puppy. We have named him Charlie Chan so we have a Lucee Lui and a Charlie Chan. I decided I didn't want another French Bulldog because I don't want to replace Sophie. She was so special. I just need another dog to love and help fill my heart.

Yeah Joely, once I said I would get a new puppy my whole family started looking. DH was upset cause he kept finding me crying when I would find something of Sophie's...well Charlie is keeping me too busy to feel sorry for myself!! He is so totally different...but he is eating and he slept thru the nite and he pees in the grass. So cute...his body is so short that he has to lean forward. Thank you all for admiring him!

SuperG, that is great that you have a new baby, he is so cute. It is really nice that Lucee took so well to him. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. I loved seeing the great pics of Riley and Cash too. I get goosebumps too thinking of Lucee acting like Sophie and Bomba acting like Boomer, so interesting and heartwarming. Tabby, I'm so happy to hear Kendall came through the neutering surgery ok. That is great news about his weight gain. Sun, how is Otter doing now? I sure hope things have improved. That was a very touching poem you posted.

oh, supergranny, charlie is so cute! (i keep calling him jackie chan, though!! ) now you know exactly how i felt/what i meant about 'needing another dog to love'. it's amazing our capacity for love; it can't be used up and there's always enough to add something else to be loved! it won't diminish our love for anyone or anything else. he will help fill your heart; he will also empty your wallet, chew on inappropriate things and jump into your arms after running through a mud puddle (but only if you're dressed nice and ready to go out the door) and even as you shake your head, your heart will swell with more love!

I hope Metoo doesn't mind my sharing with you that her 1 yr. old male Rottie (Wheezy) has been missing from her yard since yesterday. She has the neighbors keeping a look out for him. She is very distressed. Let's all keep out fingers crossed that he comes home soon and is OK.

wheezy come home!!! once, when we had a black cocker and vito, they both disappeared. it was the black cocker who started things. she was a little brat and we only kept her for a year for some friends who were assigned overseas. well, our paper only comes out twice a week and wasn't coming out for 3 more days for us to put an ad in. we searched the entire town for those dogs... finally, we put a large sign on our corner lot house that said "missing! one big gold dog, one small curly black dog". a girl knocked on the door and told us she had seen two dogs at the high school football field that very day, but several hours earlier. we drove down there, hoping, and there they were playing touch football. afterward, we realized just how lucky we were; the dogs had to cross two major country highways where traffic was 55 mph and the school is more than 1.5 miles from our home. anyway, i sure hope wheezy just strolls back home!

Wheezy has probably discovered girls! I am keeping in my thoughts and telling him to go home. Let us know when he comes home.

Can I say that this Charlie is the smartest dog ever!! He does his business outside, he knows his name already and he knows he has me wrapped around his little paw! And he is only 3 months old.

Trying to get the two of these to stay still for pictures is next to impossible. Sophie hadn't been able to play with Lucee so now she is making up for lost time with Charlie. I actually have to pull them apart and give Charlie a rest. DH has decided that Charlie is a great addition to our family. He loved Sophie as much as I did and I think he felt no dog could take her place. But here comes Charlie who is so different but so cute that who could resist him.

It is good to hear that Lucee and Charlie get along so well!! I guess I will just have to be patient for a picture of the two. I am also glad that Charlie found a place in your family's heart so fast! Granted, I know the kind of dog lovers we have here, so I am not surprised! I was in love with my puppies before I got them! LOL Thankfully, we can get back on a normal schedule for them. DH got switched to night shift, so they'd go to bed with me while he was at work, then i'd get up, usually after he came to bed and have to put them back in with him while he was sleeping. Well, they started to get restless the past couple of days and chewed a couple of holes in our comforter and started bugging DH before he had enough sleep. Thankfully we can all sleep at the same time now!!
