Murray, Vampug
Dear PugPROS, We have now had "Murray" in our family for a little over one year. He is our second adoption from PugPROS and our third Pug. You knew "Murray" as "Brett" (his screen name). Murray was six when we adopted him. He was a friendly boy but a little skittish with other people and it took a good several months for us to notice him really settling in to his new family. To this day, he still barks madly at anyone on a bicycle and he still follows me around the house wherever I go, but I admit that I truly love this about him, and it's led to some "just us" routines during our day. For instance, Murray "helps" me when I make the 3 breakfasts each morning. He accompanies me into the laundry room where I keep the kibble, spins around once, then opens his mouth wide like a baby bird for his one "secret" kibble. When I shower, he waits for me on the bathroom rug. He sleeps with my husband and me each night, at times "spooning" with his best buddy and brother, Mac. He's our other beloved PugPROS adoptee. Mimi has always slept in her crate at night, or I'm sure all 3 of them would be up on the bed with us, snoring and purring through the night. Aahh, the music of a sleeping pack of pugs.
The other thing Murray does is ADORE his stuffed squirrel toy. It's getting a bit raggedy now, with all the love it's gotten, but replace it? No way. All we have to do is ask Murray, "Where's Baby?" and he searches the house until he finds it, and he sleeps with Baby in his mouth. Thank you for Murray. He's kind of a turkey, but we love him dearly.
Love, Paula V.
