Tanner Has His Say, "Sam and Penny Aren't The Only Pugs In The House!"

I'm Depressed...

I mean really, what with all the pictures of old Sam and new Penny you'd think they were the only two pugs in the house. Well, I'm here too. And I'm only 2. I'm the puppy...

I'm little too...

I can't help it that I'm not a runt like Penny. (Sniff) I mean I feel sorry for her, she had a hard life. I was just a stray, running in the street, with no family... (Little Puppy Sob) But I came after Mom and Sam had lost 4 dogs in one year, and Sam was so so depressed Mom was worried about him. He lost 2 brothers 3 weeks apart. So mom got ME. She said I'm her little "Joy Boy," and she tells everyone I brought she and Sam back to life. Somebody had to do it...

I'm scary too...

But don't get the wrong impression. I'm not pitiful like some of the, ahem, others here. I am mama's fierce protector and NO one will get past me. Nosirree...

My favorite place...

Mostly I just like to lay up here on the old brown chair next to mama when she's on the computer. I'm the only one that gets up here, and I rest on mama's knee while she works. I can jump up here you see. Some pugs are too old and some are pip squeaks and can't make it up, so this is my chair and this is where we are right now and this is where I'm gonna stay. Right here. I'm not moving. Except...

... mama is about to go outside to take pictures of the garden and carry the little runt out. She doesn't carry me out. But I've got this chair. Nobody else will ever get this chair.

I just wanted you to know. Sam and Penny aren't the only pugs in the house.

Signed,

Tanner
