:tongue Halcyon Said YES!!! tASSy's Got A New Dog! (PICS)

okay everyone! after all of your help in pursuading Halcyon to join the world of dog families everywhere by responding in this thread here:

and thanks to the reminder from bobbi billiard here:

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...ht=halcyon+pug

i spent a lot of time researching pug rescue organisations and looking at places like craigslist, etc. for a pug that would be the perfect intro to dogs dog for Halcyon. in my opinion, we needed a dog that wasn't a puppy (needing to go through all training, housebreaking, learning boundaries, etc.) and wasn't entirely senior yet either (slower, let's face it, people bond with puppies easier than older dogs because they're just "so cute"). i also wanted a pug who was active enough to still play and be goofy because it was the clownlike nature of the pug that attracted me to them as my first small breed dog of choice and the piece that i think will win over Halcyon's heart. (i've always own large breed dogs - pit bull mutts, except growing up with dalmatians.)

a couple days ago i found a 2 year old female pug, spayed, living in a foster home with 5 other dogs who had been taken from her owner because she wanted to breed her even though she's the runtiest runt of pug you'd ever see. she weighs 11lbs, probably 12-13lbs now that she's been living with a foster for a few months. they called her peanut, but that's what my brother-in-law refers to his unborn child as, so we changed her name to LeeLoo Lebowski, combining The Fifth Element with The Big Lebowski (our favourite movie ever). so without further ado, here's LeeLoo!



we knew she was a good match for us when we found out her tongue won't stay inside her mouth - she's always showing something pink!



she always wants to be either in my lap or sleeping very close to me. i'm not used to having something less than a foot tall following me *everywhere* i go. luckily she's too small to drink water out of the toilet bowl. :P



she's already a momma's girl, she defers to me when Halcyon is in the room, but that hasn't stopped her from licking his face to death if we're lying in bed. she also took to sleeping *all* the way under our fluffy pink comforter all night long, and when the bed's made she tries to find a way to pull back the covers to get in:



so welcome home LeeLoo and thank you GFY for helping me pursuade Halcyon to try the dog life!
