When Puggy Sue was around a year old, her previous
owners found out that she had Addison's. Apparently,
her and her sister were given away because the couple
who cared for them for a couple of years decided to
have children. Whatever that means. Anyway, Puggy
was the one that was hard to place because of her AD,
but she was placed with one lady whose bulldog had
just passed away. She couldn't handle Puggy because
of her bathroom problems, but the theory is is that it
was too soon after her dogs passing.
The way that I came about Puggy Sue was that I was
looking for a companion to my ChiPug Kayla. I had
gotten Kayla after I had to put my beloved dog Tammy
(15 yrs.) to sleep. I went to the SPCA and saw my
angel Kayla there, and I had to have her. Kayla was
having seperation anxiety and what not, so I wanted to
get her a brother or a sister. Because of research
and because of falling in love with the pug breed, I
decided on contacting all of the pug rescues around my
area.
I was then told about a special needs pug the same
age as Kayla. I was told a bit about the disease from
her foster mom, and then with my having a medical
background did research. I then had my home inspected
by the pug rescue during which time Kayla and Puggy
Sue were to meet. As soon as I saw this pudgy bundle
of fur, I knew I would do anything to get her. She is
so lovable and energetic. Kayla took to her as well
unlike with any other dog by letting her chew on her
bone and all. I went under immense scrutiny in order
to adopt Puggy Sue because of how she had been placed
before. As luck would have it, I am now the proud
mama of a very happy little girl. The only thing now
that is an obstacle with her is to keep her weight
down and to make sure she doesn't have any potty
problems!
