Meet Taz

Taz my little man!
I am so happy to say that on May 29, 2010, we adopted another pug, making us a family of 4 pugs!
Taz, just 4 years old, was surrendered to Southern Nevada Pug Rescue from a breeder because he had a low sperm count and was deemed of no use to them anymore. They delivered him in the back of a pic up truck! NICE! TRUE LOVE THERE!
His first day at our house, his new home, was nothing but pacing and panting all day. I imagined that was they way he had spent most of his days in a fenced in kennel type situation. He wanted so bad to trust you but he was scared, even so he still would give lots of kisses. I showed him a toy and he ran as if he had never seen a toy before. Now he runs through the house with a toy in his mouth flipping it all over the place!
It did not take him long at all to adjust to his new living conditions. We love him so much and he has fit right in with our family.
On July 30, 2010 Taz and Wrinkles got into an argument, she put up her paw and poked his eye. Dr. Varela tried to save the eye, but after 2 days the eye repair did not hold and he had to have his eye removed. :(
It was a horrible and very traumatic experience. However, little Taz has not even noticed. He is his same old self running around and playing and giving lots of kisses.
This picture was taken on Sunday, August 29, 2010. Taz is still my little Tazzy man. He is handsome as ever! It hasn’t slowed him down one bit. He is maturing, however, every now and then he and Wrinkles still want to battle it out. I tell them NO very firmly and they usually break up, or I pick one of them up or squirt the water bottle. Funny thing is they will get in a bed together. Wrinkles has never done that. They have a love, hate thing going on! We love him so much and he is such a joy to our family.

Taz is so cute! I just love his expression in the second photo.
Pugs are an amazing breed. This is probably the gentlest dog you could own. Everyone that I know who has met mine is addicted, too.
She and my boston terrier are the closest of friends.
