NORTH MONMOUTH

BRUTUS & OZZY North Monmouth Brutus: Dec. 2000 Ozzy: Aug. 2002 Club members hope Brutus (left) and Ozzy will continue coming to meetings, not only because they're wonderful boys, but also so we can learn to tell them apart! They're not twins; but to us they were almost identical bundles of fun (thank goodness for differently colored harnesses!). We especially enjoyed their peeing contest on the tree. |

OLD TOWN
|
|
|
MAGGIE, TESS, GRACIE, PENNY, ANNIE, and LIBBY
Old Town  Look at these beautiful ladies! Gracie was rescued in horrible condition from a puppy mill in Oklahoma by Homeward Bound Pug Rescue. She was "basically a walking skeleton covered with mange, living in an outdoor cage in the snow." Libby was rescued from a puppy mill in Missouri. Penny was the first addition to the family as a puppy, giving mom and dad the "pug bug" and directing their attention toward rescuing pugs in need. Annie, also from Homeward Bound, had to be treated for long-neglected bladder stones. Seniors Maggie and Tess joined the family in February 2008. Now these wonderful girls are all spoiled and go without nothing! There truly is hope for the world, with kind owners such as mom Amy around! Give those girls kisses from all of us. See the girls up close. |

CHLOEY (above left) April 5, 2003
Chloey arrived on a plane from Arkansas. She's a mellow girl with that sad-eye look of a pug. She has had two litters so far. Chloey loves to have her belly scratched, and enjoys the mile-long ride to camp in the snowmobile.

Abby
Peru April 24, 2004 Abby is the pride and joy of her family. She lives with two cats, Jack and Chubby. Abby loves to go for any kind ride, even if it's on the lawn mower. She enjoys eating treats and playing with all of her toys. She is an explorer in the summer and a wonderful swimmer. Is that a great photo, or what? |

SADIE SUE (left) and SAMMY
Princeton Sadie Sue: November 2004 Sammy: October 2006 For most of our Pugs, doing what they love best is sleeping or eating - but not Sadie Sue, an athletic young lady who loves to swim. She was joined by playful new brother Sammy in December 2006. Sadie Sue was none too pleased to share the spotlight at first, but obviously has come around. Are they adorable, or what?! |

RANDOLPH

PARKER Randolph Dec. 15, 2000 Handsome Parker showed up at the PC's first meeting along with his lab mix sibling Kramer. Parker and Kramer originally came from Jacksonville, FL; they have lived in Maine since 2005. |

SADIAH (SADIE) & YANKEE
Richmond Sadie: April 30, 2000 Yankee: Sept. 21, 1998 These pugs are "absolutely the best", according to Mom, "even if every pug owner says the same! It's too bad people can't all be as wonderful as our little dogs." Smart, handsome Yankee was joined by Sadie in September 2007, when she was adopted from PRoNE. Sadie really loves attention, and is a wonderful fit for the family. Look at these cuties! |

SANFORD
|
|
 |
PUJO & MOCHA Sanford Pujo: February, 2004 Mocha: July, 2004 Pujo and Mocha came from two "oops" litters at Ash Cove Pugs. They shared a Pug dad; Pujo's mom was a Lhasa Apso, and Mocha's was a Shih Tzu. Mom and Dad feel lucky to have them. They give an entirely new meaning to the word "oops" - and to Mom and Dad's lives. Could you get any cuter? |
|
SOUTH CHINA
|
|
 |
ROSCO South China February 2005 Amazing - suddenly all our pugs swim! Rosco loves to swim in his 18 ft. pug pool (and even allows his family to join him sometimes). This handsome young man is shy around other dogs, but hopefully his buddies Taz and Spike Lee and other Pugusta Club members can coax him out of his shell. |
 |
PRISSY
South China August 2004 Princess Priscilla celebrated her third birthday by going to PETCO and visiting anyone and everyone who would give her attention, in keeping with her natural rights as a pug (although Mom politely declined an offer of immediate adoption). Prissy is one of the most sociable pets the family has ever had, although she is a bit bossy and loves to be the center of attention (imagine that!). She is pictured at left with her springer spaniel brother Romeo. |

TEMPLE
|
|
 |
PEACHES Temple May 17, 2002 Peaches' mom feels fortunate that Evie Vorpagel considered her home a good match for this sweetie. Peaches adores the children in the family - she seems to think they're her puppies! |

PATIENCE
Turner Oct. 23, 2003 Patience is your classic stubborn pug! She is very much loved and spoiled by breeder Sue Bizier of Precious Pugs. |
| VASSALBORO | |
 |
GUS Vassalboro April 8, 2004
Gus is the much adored pug of the Dick and Laura Berthiaume. He came all the way from Kentucky from a lovely woman by the name of Jennifer Shearer. His puppy pictures can also be found on the Kentuckiana Pug Rescue posters. He shares his home with his huge cat Mufusa, a big lab mix Ripley, and his partner in crime, a little Morky-Lina.
|
 |
BAXTER Vassalboro Dec. 4, 2006 Baxter is a very playful, energetic (read: exhausting) puppy. He lives with his sister Puddles (a corgi-black lab mix) and his 3 feline siblings, Coconut, Curry and Kitty. He has brought tons of fun to his house since he was adopted in February 2007. Of course, he thinks his name is "Baxter, drop that!" and "Baxter, stop chewing on the cat!" But he is certainly keeping his family on its toes! |
| WATERVILLE | |
|
JAKE (left) & BAILEY |
|
 |
Q Waterville April 29, 2006 Q is a beloved part of his family! Look at that face...For those of you who recognized the Star Trek reference in her name, Mom says that it is entirely appropriate - she believes herself to be the omnipotent and the center of the universe! |
|
YOSHI (near right) & LUNA
Waterville Yoshi: March 1997 Luna: July 2001 |
  |
 |
SWEET PEA Waterville August 28, 2006 Sweet Pea is an energetic, fun-loving pug (aren't they all!). She loves to eat, pug scuttle, give kisses, chase cats, run big dogs into walls, play with friends, bark at nothing, take long walks, and snore when sleeping. |

PUGSLEY W. Gardiner May 2002 This handsome young man is a Pug/Pekinese mix who loves attention, treats, and the outdoors. What a cutie! |
| WILTON | |
|
CAPONE, BELLA, & LAYLA
Wilton Capone: February 2006 Bella: October 2006 Layla: March 2007
|
|
|
Puggles and bugs! Meet Capone (left), whose white fingertips give him a "fingerprinted" look that earned him a moniker after the famous mobster. This black puggle (pug/beagle) brought life to his owner's empty new home. Capone was later joined by Bella (center), a bug (Boston terrier/pug) whose status as runt of the litter has never stopped her from holding her ground. Capone and Bella were joined in June 2007 by baby sister Layla, the first pure-bred pug in the family. Now Mom and Dad can determine which parts of Capone and Bella's personalities stem from their pug heritage! Although she's the smallest, Layla won't be pushed around by her larger siblings. Look at that little face!All these cuties live with feline brother Luigi and whatever foster cats Mom has at home at the moment, in support of the animal shelter. |

| WINSLOW | |
 |
BRUNO Winslow Nov. 2003 The Gallagher family adopted Bruno from the Waterville Humane Society on May 10, 2007. He is a sweetie, loves to go for walks and loves to ride in the car. He doesn't like cows! This is the first dog the Gallagher family has had - and we made a good choice! |
| WINTHROP | |
 |
SORELLA & MAGGIE Winthrop Sorella: Nov. 9, 2006 Maggie: March 4, 2003 Maggie (Waggy) and Sorella (Mozzarella) are the beloved Pugs of Webmasters Brian and Laura, and the spokespugs for the Pugusta Club. Maggie joined the family in July 2006, and it feels like she's always been there! Sweet, gentle, and loving, her favorite thing is to sit with her people (especially if it involves a car ride!). She's also a little devil, especially when she decides to take off down the street and visit the Dachsunds. To keep Maggie company, Sorella (Italian for "sister"), from Evie's Chloe and Rascal, joined the family in January 2007. The girls took right to each other. Bookends! |
 |
ONYX Winthrop July 15, 2004 Princess Onyx is a very spoiled pug from East Winthrop. She loves sitting with you and chewing on her Stinky Hoof! She goes CRAZY for POPCORN! She is very stubborn and most always gets her own way (don't they all?). |

KAYLA Winthrop Nov. 17, 1999 Kayla is best buddies with her shih tzu sister Sasha. They both love the water, going to camp, rides to the dump, and playing on the beach. They live for their daily walks! Both girls are very spoiled and pretty much run the household. Kayla also stays very close to her baby brother Christopher and keeps a close eye on him. |
