Meet Mugzee "Our Big Boy"
Friday, January 29, 2010 
Mugzee taken with iPhone on October 18, 2009 the 1st night we got him.
Mugzee… August 29, 2010… He is not as heavy as he looks in this pic! When we got him and he looked like skin and bones, his back bone was actually showing, my vet said he weighed 20 lbs! He now weighs about 24 lbs, which I feel is a little heavy. He also looks so grown up! We love him more than words can express. He is our big boy!
On October 17, 2009 we went to Pug-O-Rama, it was there that we met Franky. He was walking around with a little boy and he just grabbed our heart.
Franky now know as Mugzee Pug-O-Rama 2009
That night we went home and filled out an adoption application with Southern Nevada Pug Rescue.
The next day Dawn Boudreaux from SNPR brought Franky over for a house inspection. She took off his leash and we sat down on the floor, he ran around with Sputters for a minute came right back, lifted his leg and peed on my back! I was in shock at first but inside I was laughing like crazy! Dawn said I guess he is just marking his territory, and that he was! Cause he was forever ours!
So on that very day that Mugzee peed on me we kept him forever! We love him to pieces! Like I said he was named Franky but we thought with a mug like that we had to call him Mugzee. His full name is Mugzee Franky Malone, my sister calls him Mugzee Malone, because he walks like a gangster! LOL!
He is our first little boy and he is so happy to be alive, so very grateful and so are we! We love him with all of our heart. He has become a member of our family with no problems what so ever. He is a lover, of life and everything in it. He has no regrets and never looks back on the past.
This was his story from Southern Nevada Pug Rescue:
Meet Franky – he was flown to Vegas via a private plane of foster, Barry Lasko, a local dentist in Henderson, on Friday, 9/11. He was stray in a kill shelter in Elko, NV. The shelter was very cooperative and drove Franky to the airport and even brought Barry some sandwiches from the local restaurant! Barry generously paid for the fuel for his plane to fly up and spring Franky and asked that any donations we received be put towards Pug-O-Rama and medical bills.
He is skinny and our vet believe he has had some kind of trauma on his left side, was attacked, abused or hit by a car, and it was left untreated, whatever it was. He can’t see out of his left eye but it is normal looking, and his lip on the left side – the top one has what looks like a bite mark in it and his lower lip hangs really low. He was taken to our vet for his shots, a neuter and a lip tuck! There is one picture of the “before” of his lip and a few of the “after”.
Our vet believes he is about 6-7 years old. His left leg also has a limp/drag/wobble to it, but he gets around alright- this is also being contributed to whatever he went thru in his past. His vision in his right eye seems to be a little compromised, but he seems to hear fine. He also has ear infections in both his ears and is being treated by ear meds. He seems to be a happy and loving pug – lavishing in any attention he gets. Is there someone who can accept this special pug as the special little guy he is? He’s just looking for a loving home to spoil him like he has never known it before.
Many thanks to everyone who emailed us about this guy, to Barry for flying him to us, and to the shelter for being so concerned about this guy.
