So garbanzo had an intestinal blockage removal surgery on Thursday night. It was a quarter sized corn cob piece removed. We caught it in the nick of time because he was so severely dehydrated that his kidney functions were impacted and they had to get his electrolytes up to do the surgery. Currently his kidneys and electrolytes are back to normal, his liver enzymes are back to normal. He is farting, admittedly having diarrhea, and eating but at least he has stomach motility. We visited him today and they gave us some chicken and water to give him, and i hand fed him most of it. I blame myself for what happened because I was the one who fed him corn about a month ago and we had one previous vet visit for throwing up before this so it wasn't that we weren't observing him, but the previous visit the vet just sent us home with anti nausea meds and something to soothe his stomach. But he is on the mend and the animal hospital wants to keep him maybe one or two more days and are taking it day by day. I don't need prayers or anything, I'm not religious, I just want yall to be careful and not make the same mistakes I did.

This was my precious girl when I first adopted her in January, 2017. She was about 1 1/2 years old.

Wanted to wish all the fellow puggles and puggle-parents a happy Independence Day! Be safe and enjoy your day!

She’s waiting for her hot dog & calming treats for the sky booms 💥 🎆 🎇

Rocket loved all the smells. Wasn’t reactive to other dogs. Yes, he did try to eat sand… why!? 🤷‍♀️ This was his longest trip and he did so well. Lots of water and treats at his disposal.

Hi all! This is my new Puggle puppy, he’s coming home Sunday and needs a name 😊 any suggestions?

Hey yall!

This is my sweet Molly Jane (we also call her Molly Moo-Moo) that we have had for about 2 months and she is 7-8months old. We adopted her from a rescue that she came in with 2 other siblings that were adopted before her.

One thing that has been hard is how dependent on me she is, along with how stubborn she is, ha! She is so incredibly intelligent but she also wants to do what she wants to do. I’ve been having a hard time with her responding to her name, on re-call.

This morning for example, she rolled down my car windows and sneaked out of her harness while I was in the bank (car always running of course) and I was chasing her around for like 15 minutes before an employee came out and assisted - Molly immediately went to the employee and I was able to wrangle her up thankfully but it was very stressful and embarrassing lol. I literally bursted into tears as soon as I got her bc I was so stressed out, relieved and angry. 😂

I had a lab for 12+ years beforehand and she was my soul dog. I literally had to just look at her and she knew what I was thinking/wanting. I’m trying to train Molly to do basic commands, but she is very stubborn.

I’ve read online from this forum that they’re mostly food motivated and I utilize treats when training but she is just so stubborn. She is also extremely needy for me. Like as soon as I leave her sight, she panics and freaks out and I’m trying to reassure her that I’m always going to come back. Since she is so needy for me, I bring her to work with me Monday - Wednesday bc I run my own business and my husband is home Thursday-Friday to watch her. When she’s home alone, she cries and paces the entire time. I’ve thought about a crate but Im nervous bc I’ve never had to crate a dog before. I’ve also placed her in Dogtopia/Doggy Daycare on Mondays to help socialize/train her and help me get some extra work done on Mondays.

Any advise yall could give to a first time Puggle owner who just wants the best for my sweet girl🫶🏻✨ Thanks!

Turned 2 in May. Crazy little thing.
