Good morning friends,
Last night I was suddenly awaken by my mother trying to sleep by my side again. She whispered something on my ear, something that kept me thinking all night long.
Let me start by telling you some other news we have. First, right when I was planning to spend the weekend bloggin' I found out that our internet connection broke. Dad tried to fix it but hasn't been successful yet, therefore I blog from a cellphone with a crappy picture once again.
Second, we might move up north. Or might not. You see, dad had a job offer and an interview and we are waiting for a more precise offer to decide if all the changes involved with taking that offer are worth it. What changes, you ask? Well, moving to another city, renting/buying a house there, mom quiting her job, having a baby, mom probably staying at home with the baby for about six months (actually she'd like that to be two or three years), mom maybe going back to school because she really needs a career change that works better with being a human mother (she is considering becoming a teacher)...
And then last night's news: mom's highschool friend sent her a message asking if she'd like to keep her two year old pug. This lady has a kid, a baby and is expecting another baby now. I met this puggy when he was a puppy and we got along well. Actually, I scratched this puggy's apartment's front door right before he pooped in the kitchen. There might be a mental connection between us.
Now, this is what dad said about it:
- ask your friend to take Coco instead.
- we have to be careful with that pug harming Coco while playing since he can't see
- are you crazy? That means more vet bills and responsibilities
- Coco: please make a complaint, your mother is trying to replace you.
This is what mom thinks:
- if we had a backyard, things would be easier
- I need a lot of vet care and without a job, mom has a lot of reasons to worry. So adding another puggy might not be wise.
- if I will like having a brother. I am the king of the house right now.
- how us puggies will do with our new human sister. Maybe one pug will be easier to handle.
- if she doesn't take this puggy, who will?
So far, a desicion has not been made.

This is so much to think about!!!! We see a good point...it maybe difficult for you to have a puggy brother and expensive to have a puggy brohter and a human sister and Mom not working or going back to school. Hmmm.
Then on the other paw...you would help a pugger out in need and maybe get a play mate.
But then again.....yeah we thinks your Mom and Dad have a lot ot ponder about. We wish them luck infinding a good solution to all of these issues.

Wow Coco, your life sounds pretty hectic right now. Congrats on your human sister I don't know if I told you before! Mom loves babies! Actually mom loves toddlers and I do too! Well anyway, good luck with making those decisions! There are just so many pros and cons that it's really hard to decide what to do! But I'm glad you're doing ok! Love, Arlo
A brother would be good to keep you company while Mom is focused on the new baby!
Decisions, decisions, that is really a tough one. I know your Mom and Dad will work this out, one way or the other. Where is this pug, in Florida? If in Florida, what town? If close enough to me, I could think about it maybe.
Wow, so many changes and decisions heading your way!!!! I definitely understand wanting to take the Puggie but if you decide not too don't feel guilty. I'm sure it will find another wonderful home. That's a lot to add to a baby and possible job changes, moving...Good luck with all of your decisions!
Hi Coco, that is a big decision for sure. And we think your parents have some good points. Specially about your dad and wantin' to make sure your safety is considered first.
BUT! One thing we knows about Pugs is that we're gentle souls. When the parents fostered El Guapo, he had the sickies and we knew to be gentle and sweet around him. I thinks it's Pug thing. Also, tells your parents that havin' a brother to play with all the time usually keeps us outta trouble.
Love,
Stella, Gunther and Betty
WOW, tons to think about!!!! How far "up North"????
I think there aren't as many issues bringing a male dog in the house.
Money is always an issue.
Not all dogs cost a lot, but you never know.
Babies do cost.
Good luck deciding!
Hi Coco! My head is spinning from all the news. There is way too much going on at your house. Please tell your mom to take some deep breaths and think things through.
Where up north would you move? We live north but I'm sure you wouldn't move up here because it snows.
I don't really think a brother is a good idea right now because your parents are going to have their hands full with your sister. I sure hope the little puggie finds a good home.

Oh Coco
Such huge decisions for your family to make.
Jeepers a brother would be nice- but- but who knows what is best.
I hope it works out for the puggie.
love

Mom thinks two pugs is great because we are never lonely, but then, we get along. I don't think a brother would ever hurt you, especially since dogs rely on smell and hearing more than sight. Yes, it is more expensive but to see two pugs curled up together is worth it.

wow! that's a lot to think about. if the new job for dad is an improvement, i wish him the best of luck! the new baby sister is already on the way, and human babies and doggies make great friends. a new puggie brother would be great! from our experiences, adding a new pug worked really well. pugs love other pugs, coco likes other pugs at the meetups. while the two pugs may wrestle and play fight, they will great companions. and if this is a pug without health issues, there should be no additional vet costs. while you all have lots to think about these are all exciting prospects that can and will make your lives richer. you are in our prayers!
big hugs!

Decisions, decisions.....lots for your Mom to think about. I can understand it may not be the right time to get another puggy, the pro though about it would be it would give you a buddy when Mom had her attentions elsewhere. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes, hard choices to make.
Coco, this is a lot to think about.
My personal opinion is that it may not be the best timing. Bringing home a new baby is the biggest adjustment EVER and it would be nice to give that some time to settle in. I just know they will find another home for that sweet puggy. I would not want you to get a new brother just because you feel obligated.
Either way, I know you will figure out what works best for you! I am thinking of you, sweetie!!!

Wow - your mom and dad sure have a LOT to think about. I hope that whatever is decided...you will ALL be happy!
I think I kind of agree with Pearl on this one. A baby and a new pug is a big thing! What if you take the new dog and (knock on wood) your husband doesn't get the job?
Although I will say this a new puggy isn't coming with Addison's so your vet bills will most likely be less expensive and more infrequent lol if that makes sense.
Good luck!
Coco, buddy.....whutever yer folks decide is fine by me, BUT.....if that little pug fella needs tuh find a new home, I happen tuh know there is a pug rescue in Floriduh!
Good luck, bud!
