Meet Emma... (puppy content)

[slashvanyoung]

Hey guys and gals,

the last few weeks had been pretty rough. Having just slightly recovered from lots of family related tragedies and (health) issues, our 15 year old husky mix "Buck" suddenly suffered a major stroke ( a "real" stroke, a rare occurrence with dogs) which forced us to put him to sleep.

A devastating experience, especially for my mother who can't work anymore due to her heavy rheumatism. The dog kept her busy, gave her some prospect for life.

So, seeing how much playing with our neighbors' puppy cheered her up, my brother and I decided to surprise her with a pooch...

Meet Emma, the little pug lady:

(forgive the crappy quality, I forgot to set the resolution higher)



I originally planned to pick up a pug from a shelter for my GF and myself (you might remember that thread) but sadly, that didn't plan out. I now got little Emma from a childhood friend of my mother.

Awww PUG! <3

Very sweet

No pug hate allowed here, nope. Just go away. Shoo!

Buck looks like he was an epic dog!

Not a fan of pugs myself, but hey, important thing is that her owners are

Buck was indeed epic. He never ever even barked at a human. With his 15 years he was in better shape than most dogs half his age. And then suddenly this... tears my heart out. But he didn't had to suffer long and he lived a great life. I cried like a baby while I was preparing his grave.

Anyway, little Emma Pooperella does a great job at keeping spirits high.

Pugs are about the most adorable creatures in the world.

I think pugs are puggin pugly.

 

[Nightshade]

ROFL! So much cute!

I know, I know, nobody would go "Awwww" if Starbreaker (see sig) were to go off on a stuffie on video, but I do. It's so cute when they get all tough on a stuffie in play. What a doll! It's even cuter when they use said stuffie as a pillow later, when they're tired.

Hehe -aside from everything else, it made me wanna see that video again. *does*

the first picture of the husky is amazing. looks like it was an awesome dog.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Why is it that whenever I see a picture of a dog I think they're saying "I'M A DOGGY!"

So sorry to hear about your loss :/ Losing a pet is such a hard thing to go through... Hope you and your mom are a little better now, and that Emma is making the family happy

She is adorable!
