Kilo’s introduction, October 13, 2009
Kilo's an owner surrender. He's a sweet gentle giant. He weighs in at 26 lbs but he could stand to loose a few
pounds. He's got a lovely thick plush coat. He's a little timid around new people and situations but he warms up
fairly quickly. Kilo's settling in well with his foster siblings and only once or twice had to tell Rocky he was a
little too intrusive with the sniff and smell routine. Kilo waddles because of the extra weight and he moves
along at this own pace. I suspect my furniture may look much more attractive once he's shed a few pounds.
Kilo took to my son immediately. He has a warm place
in his heart for the men of the household. Kilo will let it all hang
out for a belly rub in the trusted arms of my husband. While Kilo
prefers to stay on the floor most of the day, he laid claim to my son's bed on day one. He also prefers my son's
company when he's home and will sit happily and watch him on the computer. He quickly secured my son's lap
for the trip up north this weekend. We didn't hear a peep from him for the rest of the trip.
Kilo came to us with incontinence and blood in his
urine. He likely has bladder stones. We'll have a better idea
next week when some x-rays are taken. Not surprisingly, he has a urinary tract infection and started today on
some antibiotics. The vet visit also discovered that Kilo has diabetes. He started on insulin injections this
evening. He'll be checked again next week and we'll see if his blood work has improved. Kilo has been
diagnosed in the past with dry eye and I've started him on artificial tears.
Now with all these health issues going on, I couldn't blame him if Kilo was on the grumpy side but it's been
quite the opposite. He's been reasonably co-operative about wearing a diaper and he's warming to the idea of eye
drops when there's a treat coming afterwards. He managed to stay dry from 9 PM last night to 7:30 PM tonight.
He will sit patiently by the door to ask to go out. He won't bark. He took a hectic weekend of lots of people,
confined spaces and long car rides in stride. He was also a good sport about his bath. Heck he even tolerated my
learning to give the insulin shots without so much as a flinch.

of course the list is growing

Pugs and Bubba say come on folks; let's get the guest list going,
this is going to be a lot of fun

We have an indoor venue to host a first Pug Social!!!
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=847+highbury+rd,+london+ontario&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=25.027097,56.162109&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=847+Highbury+Ave+N,+London,+Middlesex+County,+Ontario&ll=43.001744,-81.207199&spn=0.00346,0.006856&t=h&z=17
Canine Life has an indoor area that they are willing to rent us!

So I have requested a confirmation from Canine Life for Nov. 8th possibly for 2pm-4pm.

There is an area just outside the front door for washroom breaks for the pugs and friends; with a pooper catcher garbage can as well for cleanup!

The space is approx. 30' x 45' and flooring is a cement pad and there is heating.
There is limited seating for the Pug Pals!! So it would be suggested that
Pug Pals bring along a folding chair.

Admission at this point will be between 5 and 7 dollars and I will confirm that once I hear from Canine Life with date confirmation!

So, folks, it is looking great!
Hope you bookmark Nov. 8th on your calendar as well a possible Christmas get together for Dec. 6th

I've included a map link for this site and a picture showing the building on the property.

Lori, Pugsley and Bubba

Well we are definitely getting closer to a possible monthly social!!

Heard back from the establishment and rental for this facility is 25.00/hr

So will be putting out an email to everyone for feedback soon.

Lori

Hi Everyone,

put in a request to a place that does canine training courses and they have a large space that is doggy proofed.

Here is crossing our fingers that they will come through with something that all our Pugs will enjoy!

Will keep everyone posted

Lori

Well,
I'm looking for a place to hold a Winter Pug Social and am contacting some of the community centres in the London area.

If anyone has an idea or two about a place that might let the pugs get together, please let me know! I will check into it!

So please stay tuned for further developements
