MEET LEIA !!!!

Meet little (Princess) Leia







PUGGY IS HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is soooooooo beautiful !!!!!!!!!!! She's lying at my feet as we speak.
Yoda doesn't want her to sleep, he is just so fascinated by this puggy in his house. Her tail was between her legs when we met, had a lovely meet up (Yoda was so boystrous!) so she is home with us, and sniffing her little .
Her tail is already curled :) I have the day off tomorrow, so won't be able to post tomorrow as laptop at home is busted.
With some serious TLC and major lovely exercise and yummy Ziwi Peak, she'll be at a healthy weight in no time.

hen I met the vet, she told me the most shocking story:
Leia was one of 200 dogs....yes, 200 dogs at this palace !!!!!!!!! Dr Eve said it took them over 3 hrs to get in and out of this place, other dogs were rescued too.
With Leia, they had a miniature pincher, but she said they had also rescued 12 huskys, and there are more to be rehomed. Its just unfathomable, I have no words.

This puglet is the cutest little chubster ever. So well behaved. Yoda loves her, he is so uber excited !!

I will post more tomorrow night !!!!!
thanks for all your support

She's adorable!!!! Congrats on the new addition.

She's beautiful!!

TWO HUNDRED DOGS?!?!?!?!?!? That is an animal hoarder. Palace or shack. No difference. Animal hoarder.

Congrats!!!
What an adorable little girl!

Congratulations on your new family member Leia is a cutie. Thank you for rescuing her!!

Trish

200 DOGS!?! WTH!?!? That is crazy!

Leia is sure a cutie!! Congrats to your new addition.

She's beautiful! I'm so thankful she found her way to your home. Can't wait to hear more stories about her.

Thanks everyone !!!!!!! Leia is doing so well, she is just so darns mall and cute, its damn hard to try not crush her when I hug her haha.
She slept in Yoda's soft crate last night, and didnt come out until I begged her to. She is truly beautiful !!!!

Lisa, you're right, she is in pretty good shape. A few skew toofers, as smelly girl and needs to lose a bit of weight....but all in all, she really is just too ute.
She's been letting Yoda jump all over her, Yoda's been slapping her cos she isnt playing yet hahaha. And she just has a quick run at the young one. Dnt think she has a bad bone in her body.
Going to buy her all her stuff today :)

It was an actual Palace that Leia came from.....not a mansion, but a palace. Google image search Dubai Palaces, and you'll see what I mean.
They're uber houses. I cannot fathom someone hoarding 200 dogs....its just ridiculous. And this family is uber rich !!!!!! As in billions.
I just shake my head.

...Is she spayed yet? Or will you have to get that done? I am curious because with uber-billions, did 200 dogs get taken care of properly at that palace??

I am glad she's with you. It takes about 2 weeks before you will see her true personality. She'll be a true 'princess' by then!

Just out of curiousity, can you find out if they had kennels and kennel staff or if the dogs were just let roam through the palace, scrounging their own dinner? Uber-millionaires can afford to house and care for 200 dogs properly. In the old days in Europe, the aristocracy often had large amounts of dogs especially hunting hounds and they were mostly well-cared for.
But I suppose enough $$$ doesn't automatically equal correct housing and kennel staff. I wonder why they needed to be rescued?
Maybe a change in head of family decided that they were no longer wanted and surrendered them all to rescue? Just speculating...

She is just beautiful!!!

Gorgeous! I'm so glad she has found her way to your home, Stace, and that Yoda seems to be enjoying her. Hopefully she will open up some more in the next couple weeks and you'll get to see her true personality. She'll be running the show in no time.

Thank you all for your wonderful replies !!!!!

I'll be able to answer questions better tomorrow, but Leia is doing FANTASTICALLY already.
She is such a true little lady. walks beautifully (well, waddles hehe) on a leash, but not trained, she eats sloooowly. One thing I can't fathom is, she refuses to eat her Ziwi Peak in her brand spanking new bowl, but she will eat it off the floor Maybe she just needs to get used to her bowl.
Yoda has taken to her so well. He was annoying the crap outta her this morning, jumping on her and barking/shouting at her, but he really has calmed down and is just enjoying her company. She is SO tiny compared to him! Heres pics i took today, sorry...more phone pics!





Found dads sock collection hidden by Yoda !

GORGEOUS little gray chin !!!!!!

she's really adorable Stace - congrats! (and thanks for taking her in, talk about a surprise).

Don't worry too much about the bowl - she is probably used to crystal
Try a couple of different shapes - plates, pie dishes etc. and different materials - china, steel, tin etc. to see if you can work out what she is used to. Use the same word e.g. "dinner" every time you give it to her.
Eventually, she will understand that she is to eat out of whatever plate or dish you place in front of her.

She's adorable!!

...One thing I can't fathom is, she refuses to eat her Ziwi Peak in her brand spanking new bowl, but she will eat it off the floor Maybe she just needs to get used to her bowl.

Try a flat plate. You can work up to a bowl as she gets used to it.

What a cutie! Congratulations Stace!

Oh wow!!!!! She is a gorgeous little thing. She actually looks a lot like Yoda! I am so excited and happy for you....ummm...especially because I feel like I am not going through this whole "new" rescue thing by myself! LOL

Turbo also will not eat out of his bowl that I bought especially for him. When I put it on a plate and sit beside him, he will eat. Pugs are funny.

By the way...I LOVE that carpet in your pics! I've seen it in your other pics and keep meaning to ask you about it. It is unique and beautiful.

I need to visit Dubai!
