Gidget

As many of you know, Gidget is my black pug. She is the pug refered to on my blog title. She is my favorite little animal and our whole family is obsessed with her. I think this may stem from the fact that she is our family's first pet. The story goes like this: When I was 11, my mom bought me a book series, The Clique. It is still one of my favorite series and I re-read them at least a few times a year, I even tried out for the movie. Well the main character had a black pug, and I thought they were just the cutest things in the world! Before my 12th birthday I begged my parents, found a breeder, and the next thing we knew, Gidget was on a non-stop flight from Oklahoma. I was on a school trip in Catalina so I was not there to pick her up from the airport, but Ford, Grace, and my Mom were and they said she was so small (she weighed 3 pounds when we got her) and she was so scared in her little crate (imagine a little puppy just separated from her mom on a 5 hour flight! So sad!). Gidget is now 4 years old and weighs 20 lbs. She is our little baby and we love her. Ford, Grace and I constintly fight over who she gets to sleep with. I usually win. We love her so much! She is more a part of the family than a dog and she brightens our days so much.

Pugs are the best dogs in the world, so if you are looking for a sweet, cuddly, mellow, adorable dog, pugs are the ones! Did you know that they were bred only to be companions? They are the best! We love Gidget and you will too!
