It has been an extremely sad day here at Chutes-n-Ladder Pugs.

At 2:20 this afternoon we had to say Goodbye to our Princess Dolly. She gave us so many laughs and even more Love ❤️ during her lifetime with us. There will always be an empty hole in our heart for this amazing and sweet little one.

I hope to see you again one day when I come looking for you at the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. You will always be little my Sunshine ☀️!

Well I received a very special gift from the AKC recognizing me, that’s right me as the Breeder / Owner and Show Ring Handler in the Bred by Exhibitor Group (all of his competitions was against other Owners/Breeders that had to personally show the Dog).

Get ready to not freak out.

On Wednesday, October 4 at 2:20 p.m. ET, every TV, radio and cellphone in the United States should blare out the distinctive, jarring electronic warning tone of an emergency alert.

It's a test – only a test.

Officially, the trial is called the Nationwide Emergency Alert Test. You know it's a test and not an actual emergency because it's accompanied by an explanation of the test.

I miss this boy and his antics so very much. I do think this video of Henry Pug is one of my favorite.

Henry you sure could make the world smile when we need it. ❤️

We do seem to really like birthday cake over here. We’ve had a few in the past 3 months.

Diana (2), then her mom Gracie (6), and finally her Big Brother Oliver (3). We can’t forget Dolly in September (7).

Happy Birthday Oliver! You’re our bestest buddy ever!

Best wishes to his siblings from the Beverly Hillbillies litter. Happy Birthday! These last 3 years went quickly. ❤️ you to the moon and back, EllieMae, Henry and Walter.

🚨 Warning this isn't for the faint of heart 🚨

Dolly vs Mel - the showdown

The time really does fly by. Seems to move faster and faster these days and it sure has flown by with this little one.

This our oldest Dolly. She saved us when our home was empty. No heavy panting or snoring could be heard in our home after we lost our first princess Sophia.

Thank you to our friend Denise Austin of Black Pearl Pugs . I do have to say this is probably where it all started. Our interest in showing and than the start of our Kennel. We went to meet Dolly and all 8 babies in total. (I was hooked from all of that puppy breath.)

Every so often we on a whim like to surprise our four little pigs, I mean pugs. Turn up the volume slightly and you’ll understand the reason for my error.

On todays menu was a 3 egg omelette with with Shredded Roast Chicken and Gouda cheese, accompanied with a small side of tater totes.

The Reviews:

“Dad loves us so much!” - Dolly
“ I slowed my roll and savored every delicious bite.” - Gracie
“Best Dad EVER! May I have some more please?” - Oliver
“I actually have no words. I’m actually speechless.” - Diana

Happiest birthday to all of the Royals. Victoria, Archibald, George, and Diana.

I remember that night I was woke with Mom panting like a crazy one. It’s 2 am in the morning on March 31, 2020. Right at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Gracie was going into full on baby making mode and I had a 45 minute solo drive from Grosse Pointe Shores to Washington to have these babies.

Thank you Dr. Nick Vitale at Wilson’s Animal Hospital for a prefect four pack.

Thank you Crosby family for thinking of us.

Well we have had a lot of fun here at Chutes-n-Ladder Pugs. Just a few weeks ago we had our 1st Pug Homecoming Party with many that were able to make it. We hope to catch up with those who couldn’t and hopefully you all can come again next year.

One of our favorite images taken at the party by Linda Bailey was the one below. We loved it so much we had it turned into a Canvas print. Thank you all for helping make it a great memory.

I’m loving this new feature on iOS 16. There are a couple cool new toys and tricks. Like being able to recall a text message you sent to your Dad and it was meant to got to the Girlfriend.

🎈1st Annual Pug Homecoming Party! 🎈

Well all I can say, yesterday was a lot of fun!

We hosted Gracie’s pups from both litter. Her first was May 2020 (Walter, Oliver, Henry and little Ms. EllieMae.

Her second were born March 2021 (Archie, George, Victoria and Diana) and there fur-ever home parents.

It was so amazing to see the pups and how they instantly knew who they were. Lots of food, fun and laughs over all of them. Seeing each of pups individual personalities.

But even more special was the instant friendship / new family member the parents had with each other.

We hope to see you all back next year and we missed a few of you and hope to see you soon. Who knows maybe by than we could even have a new litter babies and parents to welcome.

Thank you for all of the shared pictures!!
