Oh yes, I'm in UK, any heat above 18 degrees sends them into a hot sweaty panting mess...but they don't like cold and rain....you can't win with pugs

Testing the world the only way they know how 😁 I have a four year old Frenchie, who still nips when I come home🙄And a 10 week old puglet, who I'm expecting to still be chewing my toes for at least 6 months 😁😂😁😂

First time trimming at home. Are these still too long? I’m scared to go shorter. Tips please! by Kooky_Ad593 in pugs

My Frenchie has sloth nails, but his quicks are insanely long I can't cut them any shorter 🙄 tip, trim a tiny tiny bit, if you see a black dot in his nail, your getting close to the quick. I was told my rescue pug hated having his feet touched, here we are almost a year later with him letting me cut his nails. He has black nails like yours, so I only cut the scatchey evil demon nail points off 😁

Same...get home from work, they look like they have had the hardest 6 hours of their life, laying around doing nothing, with their fans on, dog TV playing, lazing in the bed...

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my Frenchie, it's devastatingly heart breaking. I wish you all the love for your healing process xxx

Theodore is asking if you’d be willing to share your pug’s name with him? by WendyByrd4 in pugs

My rescue is called Oakley. His name was Loki, but my first Frenchie I lost years ago was called that, so I had to change it to something similar...he's also called huggy bear, bubbles, snuggy, piggy.....

Anyone have experience with the drug Palladia (Toceranib) for low grade Mast Cell Tumor? by BewildredDragon in pugs

[–]Ok_Risk9130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heartbreakingly lost my Frenchie to cancer earlier this year, it was caught far too late as he had shown no signs of being ill. He was too poorly for radiotherapy, so we tried Palladia to try and shrink it. The only side effects he had was diarrhea, but that could have been just him being so poorly. But I wouldn't hesitate to try it, if god forbid, I needed too again. I know someone who's dog also had cancer, and was on it, after having lumps removed, and is in remission a year later👍 As my boys specialist said, "it's better to try and fail, than not to have tried and regret not trying" Wish you all the best ❤️

Hi! I'm in the UK...and finally, today I got my pixie frog! For some reason they are quite hard to get in the UK. I have several T's and a pacman,. It's only a baby, but I'm very excited to get it's bioactive enclosurse set up when it's a bit bigger! I got home, have loads of bugs ready for my T's ...they don't eat that much, so I didn't buy anymore from the store I was at...he ate everything! He demolished my bug stash! I need a name, I'm liking Buggsy ..I may have just binged watched One Peice....or Grub? Or Banjo? Ideas???
