We are back in Puggy action! A new member after Lucky's passing

[img:68a9]http://www.pugauthority.com/[/img][img:67be]http://www.pugauthority.com/[/img]Hello everyone! I am back. It took some time for me to come back on here as I had a very heavy heart dealing with Lucky's passing. I do have to say that you all are wonderful people on here and gave us tons of encouragement and hope and candles for Lucky.

After dealing with such sadness in my son, we made the decision to get another pug. I did much research, reading, investigating and so on and so forth.

We found the one for us! His name is Ruger, after the gun because he is such a little pistol. He is a perfect fit and my son is once again happy, smiling, and laughing along with a little puppy who is VERY attatched to him already.

He has only been home for a short two days and has already learned when he wants to go to bed, that he needs to go in his crate and if he needs to go potty, he whines and we let him out and he runs to the door. He is SOOOOOOOO smart!

I decided to attach a picture so I can share the love with everyone. So here I am again, a little nervous from having a case of PDE but.....I did what was best for my family. :)

Ruger is adorable, as is your son. I love the picture of the two of them. Congratulations on your new addition!

He's beautiful! Best of luck to you with your new little pug and you happy son!

The best medicine for a grieving heart - congratulations! Your son and Ruger look very, very happy.

My son is just thrilled to have a dog again and a silly one at that. Ruger was dumped off in front of Petsmart here in a box and was cold and wet. One of my friends who works there called me knowing our situation and what just happened to Lucky so once again, here we were to the rescue. We took him to the vet right away to make sure he was ok. Everything came back good.
So thankfully it was a rescue case yet again. I cannot believe someone left him like that! I guess it was another meant to be case and I just hope for better health with this one as I dont think I can handle going through what we went through just a few short weeks ago.
I know that I wasnt ready to get another dog but I put my old feelings aside for my son and as you seen, he is happy once again and not searching day in and day out for Lucky. This has put his mind at rest.
We are also looking at some rescue pugs in the area once we move into our other house this summer :) Im going to surround my home with pugs in memory of Lucky

Wow That really was meant to be. I can't believe someone would do that.

What a sweet puppy!!

What a cutie! Congratulations on your new family member. Your son looks very happy.

What an adorable little guy (actually, both of them are.) And shame on whoever dumped a puppy like that.

Congratulations, it does sound like it was meant to be.

I am a great believer that dogs find you,,,, congradulations on the new puppy, I love the name ruger...of course it could have be winchester...or shotgun.. or..or..or..or..

Oh, I am so happy for you! Ruger is adorable and I love that pic with your son. Slome things are just meant to be. Shame on the person who dumped him, and yet Ruger hit the jackpot in finding a forever home with you.

Congratulations on your new baby!

What I find so strange is shortly after Lucky passes, the same day we picked up Ruger from our friend who works at Petsmart, the Emergency Vet called and told us that Lucky's ashes were in.
It is almost like Lucky wanted to come home with the new puppy and welcome him into our home. It might sound silly but I think Lucky had some doing in this knowing that his family and his special boy was missing him so much. Ruger mimics a lot of Lucky's odd behaviors that we loved so very much and made him so unique. I feel we have a little piece of Lucky living in Ruger.

You know, that does not surprise me at all. I don't try to understand things like that, I just accept them as gifts.

Thanks for sharing Ruger and your son with us. I know that Lucky will always live in your memories, and it's great that your family is smiling again!

Welcome back and thank you so much for saving Ruger. He's an adorable little guy and he and your son look very happy together. I look forward to watching them both grow up together.

I'm glad you are back! And thanks for giving little Ruger a home. He looks like he's charmed the little man of the house anyway.

Not silly at all! I believe that Lucky had a paw in helping your hearts heal by bringing this puppy into your lives. Congratulations on your new addition!

Congrats on bringing Ruger into your home and hearts. I understand how you feel about wondering if Lucky somehow brought him into your lives. After the loss of Pugsly and Taz, it is amazing how Tinker and Ruffy have so many of the personalities and oddities that both boys had. I feel that they are reaching out to me through these new goofballs.
