Haylo Puggies, how is your week going so far? Have you gotten in some sunbathing yet or are you snuggled up in front of the heater keeping warm? Both options are a pugtastic way to spend a your time, and I know that regardless of how you're keeping warm you're doing it like only a Pug can! One of my first Vet's once said to me, "I love Pug's; they're a whole lot of personality in a little package," and he's not wrong. Those little demanding shedding ratbags barge into your life and your heart, and before you know it you're handing over your plate, your position on the couch, your lap ..read more

Haylo Puggies, How has your week been so far? Hopefully it has been one filled with cuddles and snackies. You must be wondering why I called this post "Calling my Pug ugly is as offensive as calling me fat!"; what was it that sparked the "flash of Pug-mom indignation"? Well it was a post on Facebook in one of the (many) Pug groups I am a member of ... I love talking to other Pug-Parents and I definitely love seeing pictures of their adorable Puggie faces living life like only a Pug can. There was a lady who was new to the group and had been asked to share a picture of her new Pug Puppy and tel ..read more

Haylo Puggies, Adding to your Pug’s wardrobe can be fun, time consuming and satisfying; you can see your fur-child in your mind’s eye looking adorable, stylish and every bit the Supermodel you know them to be. Then it comes to dressing them and you realise that they’re more Diva/Demon Supermodel than the calm little cutie they were before you tried to dress them in the pawfect Dress you searched the world (via the internet) for, just for them to wear to an event. Luckily, we have loads of practice with our Supermodels who sometimes are little angels and happily let us dress them in their pawso ..read more

Haylo Puggies, Dressing your Puggie is not just about serving a purpose, like a harness for walking, it can also serve as a way to make your Puggie feel special, as well as give you an alternate option to treats to show them how much you love them. It’s amazing how Dog Apparel has changed over the last 20 years; getting clothes for Louis entailed me going into a shop that I had found in Fremantle, WA of all places, look through a catalogue from a Japanese designer who made clothes for French Bulldogs, order from the catalogue and hope that by the time I had put in my order that it hadn’t alrea ..read more

Haylo Puggies,  It is believed that ‘one in every 4-6 dogs’ have separation anxiety and that is ‘more common in older dogs’, according to research done by the University of Melbourne (1). Many Pugs experience separation anxiety when their Pawrents leave them alone which can be very frustrating for both the Puggie and the Pawrent. I experienced this with Louis (a.k.a Fatdog) when he first came to live with me; he had been neglected and abused and developed separation anxiety when I had to go to work after I had gotten him home and settled in. Left untreated, separation anxiety can lead to ..read more

 Haylo Puggies, I love a good colourful scarf at anytime of the year, it's one of the most versatile accessories in any Pug (or Hooman) fashion arsenal because it can be an outfit all on its own or as part of a pawsome outfit (Hooman/Pug twinning anyone?); the key is to make sure you tie the knot safely so it sits comfortably at the neck all day long! So, let us show you how to tie your Pug’s scarf knot safely so they look Pugtastic and you both can comfortably wear it all day and all night!  In this video we'll cover: The safest way to tie the scarf knot with one person, and ..read more

Haylo Puggies, The easy answer is empathically YES! And it doesn't matter if you're wearing clothes or accessories when you're striking a Puggie pose either, cause a Pug Super Model can look just as adorable naked tilting their head, dropping their ears back a little and widening their big Puggie eyes .. you know the look I'm talking about. The not so easy answer is, not every Puggie wants to be a Pug Super Model, which means no matter how much fun they're having at a photo shoot, they won't agree to being dressed or they won't agree to sitting long enough for clear photos to be taken of ..read more

Haylo Puggies, I know it may seem like a strange topic to write about, but after having had a recent discussion with a Grumble friend about a rescue Puggie who had moved between three owners because all three had passed away, it sense to me that it was a topic that needed attention. Being the Crazy Pug Lady that I am, I have made provisions in my last will and testament for Rosie and Charles (and any other Puggies we may adopt), to ensure that not only do they go to someone who they know and love, but that I'm assured that their lifestyle remains in line with  my expectatio ..read more

Haylo Puggies, I'm one of those people who never really thought about having children; I was one of "those people" who always wanted Pugs in my life like other people wanted children. I was the person that people would look at with the expression that basically said "who IS this woman?", and I was that person who people would literally say, "you can't compare your Pug/s to children, they're not the same". And they're right in their own way; in their world my Pugs are not the same as their children ... but I would also argue that their children are also not like other peoples children ..read more
