For a start, Life with Pugs is always full of excitement.  Whether it's a puppy or senior pug, their all clowns.  When your down and need encouragement they are by you side or in your lap.  And when your happy, their happy especially if they can get a treat.
  27 years ago our love of pugs started, and we have been pugless for only 2 short periods of time after the passing of 2 at seperate times.  We urrently share our home with 3 pugs, Toby, Belle and Polly, A golden retreiver, Shelly (all have been rescue dogs) and 2 cats, Bobby and Sally.
When we bought our 1st Pug, Loo, we had never seen a live one, only a picture and seen adds in newspapers.  Men in Black and Frank had not made it to the silver screen nor were any in TV commercials.  Loo was 6 weeks old, black male with eyes that went in 2 different directions. And yes he was so ugly he was cute. That was the start of our pug involvement and for the past 7 years I have been involved with Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption as a volunteer.  We have fund raisers, 2 times a month meet at local Petsmarts for meet and greet the rescues.  I help with the transports from shelters or vets to our local vet. We have even fostered but then fell in love and adopted so the hubby says no more fostering. 
In May , 2010, I attended Milwaukee PugFest.  It was a long trip from Alabama with Belle, my friend, Dei, another volunteer and her son, but we had a great time.  Sooo many pugs.  Pug heaven.  We will be going back in 2011.
Keep in touch as time goes by I will post pictures of our group and the funny things they do and the things that will help you understand why we love them so.
