A lot of people in a lot of places made changes to their lives in late September of 2001. Even folks in different countries – like Canada – were given a good kick in the pants reminder about mortality and the fragile nature of life ten years ago. While I had already decided that I wanted a pug I just wasn’t sure I could handle the work and effort required to raise a pug on my own. But the events ten years ago were definitely a kick in the pants for me. They made me realize “what are you waiting for, exactly?” – and I started calling pug breeders that very week. By September 30th, I had found and fallen in love with a little four month old pug named Merry and cajoled the breeder into allowing me to buy her instead of keeping her for breeding stock.
It was one of the two happiest decisions in my life (the other being marrying the fantastic Hubby).
As you can see, the puglet still isn’t very photogenic yet (every meagre photo I find time to take in between eye drops looks just like this one – cone head supreme) but I am happy to report that she is healing wonderfully and has a disturbingly healing gloop of red over her right eye, which the doctors assure me is good and blood heals things but mostly I just think it looks sore. ;) We’re hopefully a month or so from being able to remove the cone (!!) and look forward to the day when the princess can start navigating without it!
Hi Merry and Angie! We missed you guys. You and Merry were meant to be for sure.
Another month with the cone on. Goodness, that is a long time! But sweet Merry looks good regardless. Glad everything is healing nicely.
Love,
Christy and Payton
Hi Guys! We glad that Merry came into your life just like I came into my human’s! Hope the eye(s) continue to heal. Please keep us posted.
Drools and licks,
Minnie and Mack
merry is always photogenic, no matter wht condition her eyes are in. i think her eyes are beautiful. blessings to all………………
After such a long wait, i was starting to worry that something was wrong. Very glad to see that Merry is recuperating well. I miss your more frequent postings. My companion was a min pin and i miss her very much. I think that Jammy and Merry would have gotten along well together.

I’m so happy to see a new picture of sweet Merry. Glad to see you’re on the mend, sweetheart. Hope you’re without the cone soon. Angie, please continue to keep us posted about Merry’s progress!!!
Good to see she is on the mend still. We were all getting concerned wondering if all was well. Whew! Keep us all posted. Our family has grown to love Merry like one of our own pack!
Cheers! :)
Love it! Thumbs up!
I am SOOO glad to see and hear that Merry was doing okay. Even in a cone, she’s absolutely adorable!
