    My pal is a Boston, also. I love this pal of mine, Max, with my heart and soul.
    Several years before I got Max I had a pug, the second in my lifetime. I loved him, heart and soul, too. In my 20,s I got my first pug, Friday. Pet store, lost him within a month. We all were devastated. Seizures started and he crossed the Rainbow Bridge, by my side in bed, the next morning. Age: 2 mos.
    In 2009, I bought Winston at a huge sales bldg. filled with various breeds for sale. I was misled as I was told it was where reputable breeders brought their puppies for sale. I should have been more careful in even going there, he wanted me and me, him. I had him less than 2 yrs. with him. Once again, seizures and he passed over the Rainbow Bridge later that night at the vets. I believe that they both died of G.M.E. a little known issue that’s a disease of the brain more commonly known as “Pug Head Disease”, basically it’s encephalitis but more involved. It’s written up online if anyone cares to do research. I don’t want to scare anyone but if anyone is looking for a pug puppy, pleasevdo. They are delightful, chubby furry friends, but please do research here and consult a vet or two. More research, perhaps a cure had been found, I sure hope so. I’m only trying to enlighten you all to save you the heartbreak that I’ve suffered twice!! Let me know, please! Both of are rescues by the way. Pepper is a 6 yr. old Jack Russell/Beaglr mix. She’s a great dog. Max is a 4 years old Boston who I adopted thru the Boston Terrier Rescue of the Carolinas. Specic breed dogs are more than likely to have a rescue society and should be online.

    Terri Moore Vance we have Daisy and a sweet beagle mix Derby. The rescue advertised him as a Puggle but there is no pug in that boy. He’s a great dog though. We got daisy as a puppy. There weren’t any Puggles available to adopt around here. We also have two rescue cats, one is my granddaughter’s and one is my husband’s. The dogs are my babies. Although my husband’s cat is snuggled up on my lap right now.

    Getting health insurance and a wellness plan for my dog was one of the best things I could’ve done. Recently he had a toenail infection and it ran about $600. Thankfully I only had to pay a portion

    This my 9 month old pug…we’ve always had larger breeds (and after losing a pure bred cocker spaniel to COPD and congestive heart failure at age 12 in January 2016, we declared no more dogs). Sarah is the most precocious, happy-go-lucky puppy we’ve ever had.
