  1. Pug British Bulldog French Bulldog Boston terrier Boxer Neo Mastiff Old English Mastiff St Bernard Chi's smooth or long coat doesn't matter Irish Wolfhound or any of the hounds really just love their soulful eyes
  2. My head would want to but my heart would probably say no, I don't think I could have one of my pugs die and then allow her body to be used like that even though I realise how beneficial it would be.
  3. I have a blind pug who does really well, blindness is no reason for a dog to be put to sleep. It's nothing really and they cope so well with it.
  4. Firstly really sorry to hear of your loss. Yes we always stay, could never let them go out of this world without either me or my hubby by their side. It's one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do and no matter how many times you go through it it never gets any easier. But you put on a brave or not so brave face and you stay with them until their final breath. They'd do it for us wouldn't they if the rolls were reversed.
  5. Good on you for taking him in, he looks like a real lovely boy. Take care
  6. Just wondering about the older pugs actually. I've often thought about the real oldies and what ages they are living too, they are living longer these days which is fantastic. Some of the old pug books say that they can live up to 12 but the books were written 20 years ago. Just curious. Thanks in advance.
  7. My pugs love tuna-well fish of any kind actually. I make fish patties for them and pop them in the freezer, you can quickly defrost them in the microwave. As long as you don't put onions in they're a great meal when you get home late and are in a rush. And because the tuna or salmon is mixed through the entire patty they eat the lot and love it, it's a great way of getting plenty of other veggies into them at the same time. I think fish is great for everyone on the family including our dogs, the benefits are fantastic.
  8. I have pugs, they'd never allow it to happen.
  9. I've never had a problem with bloat and I have a little stand that put down for one of my pugs who has arthritis in her neck, she has trouble eating otherwise.
  10. I guess it pays to have our dogs registered and all their details up to date and to make sure they cannot get out of your yard.
  11. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with 'Este Lugar de Suenos', which translates to 'This Place of Dreams'. Thank you Swiss Girl I figured that the animals that come here have already lived through a nightmare of abuse and neglect in their previous homes, so that's why I liked this or I may just use the word dream and look up the word for dream, dreams or dreaming in other languages and see if I can find something pretty. Thank you to everyone who took the time out to make suggestions, I liked so many of them and you all gave me so many lovely names and idea's for names to choose from so thank you so much for that.
  12. Thanks I like the idea of an Aboriginal name. They are very spiritual people who care for and are connected to the land. They respect it. Animals spelt backwards is a good idea as well I would never have thought of that.
  13. Mine all have one sardine each with their breakfast everyday, I get the homebrand one in tomatoe sauce, not oil as they already have flaxseed oil added to their diet. They all love having them.
  14. Really liked New Beginnings, Haven of Peace, Valkama, Second chance retreat, Furbbles Farm and Harmony Acres. Like Nirvana too but there's one up the road. My friends refer to this place as the Ark due to the look of our house and the animals roaming, it's been a standing joke for years actually and I did think of using it at one time. I've also thought about naming it after one of the dogs that I've lost as I like that sentiment. Didn't want to have rescue in the name as I didn't want to find a box of kittens and the like dumped at the front gate- long way from the house and they'd be dumped and driven off before I could get down there. The one I'm leaning towards is 'Este Lugar de Suenos', which translates to 'This Place of Dreams', as I love the meaning, thanks Swiss Girl. But before I decide are there anymore suggestions out there. Thank you to all or you for your suggestions, can't believe I've been trying to think of a good name by myself for over a year, should have asked all of you sooner. Oh by the way, we are on a hill overlooking many green hills and most of the trees on the property are Gums. Thank you so much
