10/19/05 - Just checking in to say we're all as happy as can be! Haley Jo is a fantastic girl - sweet, cuddly and at the same time sassy and spunky - just like a pug should be. I must say she's got us wrapped around her little paw - she's just melted our hearts and is pretty much the center of attention. She loves her big yard and all the nearby parks where she walks and smells all the smells (she's quite a tracker). Now that it is cooler and she's lost some weight she is able to tolerate much longer walks - she's walking at least a mile a day now. Her diet is coming along well - she's lost 3 pounds and probably has about 3 to go. We can tell she loves her forever home because she's recently started to get very playful. She's always been sweet and wanting to be a "lappie" but now she's acting almost puppy like. We can't imagine life without her - thanks again BAR!
9/6/05 - Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to let you and Anne know Haley is doing great! She's everything we'd hoped for and more...such a big old huggable bear!
8/18/05 - Haley is doing great! We call her Haley Jo Whaley -- we'll drop the "Whaley" when she's down to her ideal weight -- she's a big girl...really more like a huggable little bear. She has totally adjusted to her new house and family. Still chasing her cat sisters...we're working on that. Next week she goes in for some much needed dental work. She has one tooth that sticks straight out on the bottom (narwhal - whale - haha), we hope they don't have to pull it. Thanks again BAR -- we couldn't have asked for a sweeter girl!
7/25/05 - We are doing great!!
Haley did exceptionally well in the car, even told us when she needed to
stop to go to the bathroom. When we got home Saturday, she was a little
anxious learning the house (as would be expected)....but she is amazing
because it seemed by Sunday she was already well on her way to settling
in both with the house, us and her cat sisters (they're ok with her
too). She is one of the most loving dogs I've ever known.....she loves
to give kisses all the time and wants to be on a lap or leaning up
against you! This morning I was home but left her by herself for a
couple hours in "her" room to see what she'd do. She doesn't seem to
care if she is by herself for awhile....she stood at the gate for a few
minutes then went and took a long nap on her pillow. She is just an
absolute love and we thank you again! We'll make sure to keep you posted
all the time.
She is going to the vet later today just for a quick check up and to
meet all the nice people there.
7/24/05 - Haley has been adopted
7/7/05 - Haley is pending adoption
4/22/2005 - Haley is a sweet adult
pug who came to live with us several weeks ago. When she first got
here, I took one look at her and said, "My Goodness! That is the FATTEST
dog I've ever seen!" Poor Haley, she could barely walk, let alone make
it up & down flights of stairs! Apparently her former owner fed her
Ricotta Cheese daily... Not the best diet for a puggy. So, it was a diet
of dry food, lo fat yogurt, and baby carrots (as treats) for her. By the
following week she'd already started looking trimmer so I added lo
calorie biscuits on occasion.
Haley loves to cuddle; if you sit on the floor she will get right in
your lap. She gets along with just everyone, even my Border
Collie, who likes to display her dominance frequently. Haley exercises
daily---she does her stairs nicely now, too! Without tumbling! Now Haley
is running up & down stairs, playing & exploring like a champ!
4/13/05 - Several weeks ago, one
of our previous adaptors had to make a decision that all of us hope
NEVER to have to make. She had to give up here beloved dogs. Dramatic
changes to her life including losing her home and being 7 months
pregnant meant she had to go live with relatives, and no dogs were
allowed.
This was a very special adopter, as she had adopted 3 pugs from Friends
of BAR, 2 of which were Sr. boys. She loved these guys with all her
heart, and that heart was clearly broken with this unfortunate event. We
promised her that her babies would be fine, and have let them settle
back in their original foster home.
Haley, the younger and more independent of the bunch has moved to a
foster home who had just adopted Pugsley and wanted a chance to foster a
pug.
The boys, Boz and Winston are doing great. Boz is approx 11 now, and
Winston is estimated to be 9-10. We are going to try to place the 2 boys
together, and they clearly enjoy each other’s company. They constantly
sleep together, and hang together too.
All are eating great and settled beautifully.
So come back and see how these 3 pugs are making out, and if you always
thought about getting a calm pug or pugs, we have your guys right here
at BAR.
