I would recommend you give her LOTS of love! Clean her wrinkles & try not to give her too many treats (Pugs tend to get overweight quickly). Both my pugs sleep in our bed - I can't imagine a night without them. Pugs main job in life is to be your companion - we try not to leave our babies alone for TOO long. They get lonely.
I am sure you will be a great mom to Skye! GOOD LUCK.

Congratulations! We just got a new bed - needed a king-size for all of the pugs! I use baby wipes every night - they know when it's bedime!!! Also - use Cherios for treats - they work great and they last a long time because you only need a few at a time (about 6 is what we use ... we're still trying to get Liberty potty trained)!

Hi There, my advice is just to give them heaps of love and attention, you will be rewarded with such love and companionship. Pugs totally rule your life, but thats ok, like someone else has said on Pugspot, i am here to just pay their bills, seek medical care for them, clean up after them, give them the best of food when needed! And you know something....i wouldn't want it any other way. As for her sleeping in your bed, she will see it as YOU sleeping in her bed! Good luck, and best wishes and welcome little Skye. x.x.x

Welcome Julie and Skye! They are all correct, she will think you are sleeping in her bed after all she will rule your world! LOL That is what we call being OWNED by a PUG! You will know what that really means in a few weeks! So, have fun and keep us a mouse click away and you will be fine! Glad you found Pug Spot!
