Living in Pug Heaven - A Quick Trip Around the Block

Surprise visits are always a joy! I received a call at work from my mother today - asking if I could go up to Kim and Cathy's to stay for a bit. The situation seemed kind of odd, but I agreed. It turns out that not only is Cathy bedridden, but Kim pulled a muscle somewhere in the top half of his leg and can hardly walk unless heavily medicated. It was quite the sight to arrive here and see both of them in bed, overwhelmed and glad to see that I had arrived.

Walking into the Taylor Moore house was almost depressing - I remember just a few short months ago being greeted by a mob of no less than 18 pugs, wondering to myself if I really had what it takes to do the work of two people on my own. Today when I arrived I was greeted by only 7 pugs. What was once a mob has dwindled down to the smallest group - the show dogs went back to the people they are co-owned with, Wahini is with Sue, Kahuna at my house... There are also a few adults that are either at my house or have been placed in new homes.

Anyone who has ever visited the Taylor Moore house knows how noisy it can be - a giant roar of pug whines, barks, and grunts has turned into a rolling lull. It almost makes me miss the chaos.

Feeding them all was a breeze - with only 5 to put into crates and the two to feed in the kitchen. Washing dog dishes took less than five minutes(it took me longer to unload the dishwasher).

I am not sure how long I will be here for - however long it takes for Kim to get better it seems. I hope it will at least be for a few days - I would love to get some things taken care of to help them out.
