📣 Good Evening Pug Snuggers 📣

📢 Er Herm, your attention please! 📢

💗The girls, Beautiful Blossy & Glorious Gladys, have a message for you all tonight! 💗

✅ They want me to ask you to leave The Pug Snug reviews, lots of reviews! It’s Awards Season, and Aunty (Mummy) has been entered for another couple of awards, and reviews are part of the judging process. It also helps Aunty and the business grow ✅

✨The girls says there are 3 places to leave reviews; Facebook (which transfers onto her website too), Yell.com and Google. You can leave a review on each, or if you have left a review on one, please leave a review on another site. It all helps Aunty (Mummy) immensely ✨

🙏🏻 So please leave some reviews and also share Aunty’s page with your friends and family to grow her followers and audience 🙏🏻

💖 Here is a photo of me (Gladys) with my new sister Blossy. I’m living my best life at The Pug Snug Thank you. 💖

With lots of love & licks from Gladys & Blossy ###

😝 Good Evening Pug Snuggers 😝

📣 Well, it was even hotter 🥵 today than yesterday! Was that actually possible 😂. Apparently so, according to the humidity ☀️

👅 Onto our terrific Tuesday night turn! Yes, it’s ’Tongue Out Tuesday’ night!
Tonight we have someone showing an itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, just a peek of a show of a TOT 😂. It’s only our Scrumptious Smudge 💙! Our cute little panda puggy is full of the joys of life and young puggy shenanigans! He loves to play and make friends with other puggies and adores running around with toys. He’s loving 🥰 and kind and will give a great display of the zoomies 🏎️. He adores a tasty treat and a cuddle 🤗 even more so ❤️

👅 He’s also great at giving us just that little hint of a TOT! 👍🏻

🥳 Good Afternoon Pug Snuggers 🥳

📣 Wow 🥵 the humidity today, is like walking into an oven! Please take care of your puggies and of yourselves too! Don’t forget your own hydration and to stay inside if you can 🥰

🎁 We have a birthday 🎈 today on this boiling 🥵 hot day! It’s the birthday 🎁 of one of our honorary pugs, The Brave Bruce, who turns 10 today ~ yippee 🙌🏻

🎉 The Brave Bruce 💙 has been coming to The Pug Snug right from the very start back in 2022 and suffers with spinal issues, like a lot of dachshunds. He needed a quieter and smaller dog boarding place to be in for his holidays, and he has come to us ever since. He loves a good sniff and pootle 🐾 around the garden 🪴, is best pals with The Beautiful Blossy and occasionally has the shenanigans despite not really being allowed to 😂. He is a character and adores his cuddles 🥰 and tickles too 💙

❤️ Many happy returns of the day young man, and we hope you have an amazing time ❤️

🥳 Good Evening Pug Snuggers 🥳

😝 I’m sorry, but blooming heck it’s hot 🥵 lol 😂! Today was an absolute scorcher was it not! Great weather 🌦️ if you had a pina colada 🍸 and a pool next to you, not so great for pugs 🐾 though, so keep a close eye 👁️ on them! 😍

📷 Not your usual ‘Photo of the week’ this week because ….. it’s my birthday! 🎁 yippee 🙌🏻 It’s been an incredibly busy day for me, looking after some loveable puggies (yes, I know I’m supposed to be off lol 😂) then I had my nails 💅🏻 done by A Mindful Touch ~ thank you so much, they are wonderful, I received cards, flowers 🌹 and chocolates 🍫 from family, friends and clients which was so lovely ❤️
😃 Next was a visit from the incredible and amazing 🤩 Justine from Martin and Co Bury St Edmunds Letting Agents Estate Agents who are sadly putting Mum & Dad’s house 🏡 on the market. Justine was brilliant 🤩 as always and as per usual it was so good to see a friendly face at a difficult time 🥹
😃 Then I was off out with a friend from my teenage years (yes, I was once a teenager 😂) Julie Moss, to The Bunbury Arms for dinner. Highly recommended since the change in hands last year. We both had the carvery 🍽️ and we both we stuffed!!! 😁
🥰 Back home now in front of the air con with all the puggies fast asleep and snoring! 😴

🥳 What an amazing ‘er herm’ 37th birthday 🤣

🌸 Good Evening Pug Snuggers 🌸

😊 I had the most beautiful surprise today. I received a bouquet of gorgeous flowers 💐 from a lovely lady called Lorraine, who works with the National Pug Protection Trust. They were to tell me she was thinking of me, and for me to keep strong 💪🏻 .

🥹 All of your overwhelming gestures, messages and prayers of support have kept me going this past few days. You have no idea how much. I’ve got a very tough few months ahead of me, saying goodbye to Mum & Dad’s house 🏡 and my home, and moving yet again. I will be fine however, if that’s what was meant to be then obviously this is what is in ‘my plan’ ✅

❤️ Your love and support however, is my current superpower 🦸‍♀️ and I want to thank Lorraine and all of you for your kindness 💗 ###

☀️ Good Morning Pug Snuggers ☀️

😊 We have some incredibly hot 🥵 weather coming our way this weekend, and into the start of next week. We are looking at 29 Saturday, 31 on Sunday and 33 on Monday (also my birthday 🎁!) here in the Bury St Edmunds area. Check your local weather 🌦️ forecast for your temperatures ✅ in your area.

This means the puggies need extra special care and protection. As we know, most of them struggle in the heat, so:

✅ Lots of fresh cool water available.
✅ Cooling mats, vests & bandanas are great.
✅ A damp towel to lie on is also good and a damp cool flannel on the head.
✅ Limit any outside time and keep to the shade only. Paddling pools placed in shaded areas.
✅ Fans on and air con if you have it.
✅ Iced treats made from fruit and veg and frozen water or a frozen Kong treat toy.
✅ Keep curtains and blinds closed.
✅ NO WALKS ARE NECESSARY!

🔥 Heat Stroke 🔥
It can be fatal ~ so if you suspect your pug is suffering from heat stroke call your vet/emergency out of hours number IMMEDIATELY. Take their advice over the phone but make sure you dowse your pug continuously in cool water and get a fan on them to start bringing their body temperature down, let them drink small amounts of water only and get them into the car, keeping them damp with the flow of air still on them. Then straight to the Vet.

Symptoms to look out for:
🔥 Drooling.
🔥 Excessive panting.
🔥 Vomiting.
🔥 Diarrhoea.
🔥 Lethargy.
🔥 Dizziness.
🔥 Collapse.
🔥 Seizures.

Take care and keep safe out there 🥰🐾

😊 Good Afternoon Pug Snuggers 😊

🥰 Here I am since this morning, back at my desk doing what I do! I’m actually off at the moment until the 7th of July, but you all know me by now, I’ll still be working away in the background 😂.

🥹 I wanted to say that I’m totally overwhelmed and blown away by the amount of heartfelt messages of love and support that I have received. I haven’t got around to answering most of them yet, as I’m a little exhausted from yesterday, but I will try to as soon as I can.
Thank you so much, as it’s that love and support has kept me going this past 24 hours. I have the most wonderful friends, family and clients (furry ones as well!), and I really couldn’t wish for better 😍

💗 My Dearest Pug Snuggers 💗

Firstly, I want to thank you for all of your messages, WhatsApp’s, texts and comments wishing me love and luck for today. You have no idea what that meant to me. To feel that love from you got me through those gruelling hours which seemed to last forever. I will be eternally grateful for your enduring support and I love you all ❤️

However, it is a sad day for me and The Pug Snug. I will have to sell my Mum & Dad’s beloved house, downsize and downsize The Pug Snug too. This is not what I wanted, nor any of you for me, and it wasn’t for want of trying. I’m not allowed to say a lot due to confidentiality, of the mediation, but my wonderful solicitors, paralegal and barrister worked their backsides off and bent over backwards today to come to an agreement as did the mediator. We were very amenable and played ball.
Unfortunately, not for want of trying, believe me, we couldn’t get the agreement we wanted. So I’m left with this.

Do not underestimate me though, that is a mistake that has just been made, my strength of character is quite something! I will come back from this, stronger, bigger and better than before! The Pug Snug will continue, just on a smaller scale than previously, for the time being, until I’m able to expand again, which I will.

This for me has never been about the money, it was about my Mum’s wishes, about the house my parents bought and cherished for all of those years, working hard to pay off the mortgage and make it a home, it was about love and memories. I have something though that they don’t have, the love that I got, the memories of me and Mum laughing together until we cried in the better moments when Mum wasn’t feeling so poorly, holding her as she fell asleep, telling her I loved her everyday, caring for her 24/7 for 2 years which was my total honour. That can never be taken away from me around a negotiating table. So I have won. I can walk away with my head held high knowing with a clear conscience that I loved and cared for both my parents until their dying breaths, and they loved me.

😔 Tonight I’m exhausted. I would like to leave ‘Tongue Out Tuesday’ 👅 to you guys please if I could. Please post your darling photos in the comments and thank you Katie for looking after the girls for me today!
And finally, a photo of my amazing Mum and thank you all so much 🙏🏻

😊 My Dearest Pug Snuggers 😊

🥰 Good evening. Today has been a difficult day for me, and tomorrow will be very stressful and determine whether The Pug Snug and myself will be staying put in this home, or will be forced to move. It is all down to negations which are with my input, but generally out of my hands. I’m putting my trust in my solicitors, barrister and those that are doing the mediating, and hoping this 3 year nightmare will come to an end 😔

🙂 I know that with my clients I have always been transparent, and you have shown me endless faith, love and support for which I will be eternally grateful. Tomorrow, I will know where the future lies hopefully, and I can move forwards with my head held high knowing I did the best for my Mum 💔

📱I will not be answering general messages tomorrow, but will get back to you on Wednesday instead ✅

🙏🏻 I please ask for your thoughts, prayers and wishes for the best possible outcome and of course, I will update you when I’m able to 📣

📷 For tonight’s ’Photo Of The Week’ I’m handing it over to you. Please post in the comments your favourite photos of the week; your furbabies, family events, scenery, something funny, and make me smile 😃.

❤️ I really do have the best clients in the whole wide world 🌍

🐾 Good Afternoon Pug Snuggers 🐾

I very rarely do this, but I have come across 2 local young puggies looking for a home and have been asked to help, and I know a few of my clients have been thinking about new additions for their families.

These lovely girls are sisters and are a bonded pair. They were born in October last year and are yet to have their first season, so they are not currently spayed. They are fully vaccinated however.
Both girls are very friendly with adults, children and other dogs. They have a lovely, sweet temperament and no known health issues. They are being given up for genuine reasons. They will need to be spayed once they have had their first season and the appropriate amount of time has passed, and I would strongly advise pet insurance for them as with all pugs.

Please contact me via DM or WhatsApp if you are interested in meeting the girls or knowing more about them.

Thank you 🙏🏻
