Meet Bozlee - PugSpeak's June Pug of the Month

We are proud to present Bozlee as PugSpeak's June Pug of the Month. Mom, Maryjo tells us Bozlee's story:

Bozlee is a California Surfer Dude who moved to Alaska in March of 2007.
Bozlee came into rescue practically hairless and skinny, but (with the right meds and lots of TLC) flourishes in his new forever home.
Nowadays, he loves to hang out with his brothers and sisters, and play with his favorite toy, a sock.

Alaska agrees with him- no fleas, ticks or heartworm-carrying mosquitoes (although plenty of regular ones).

His personality, after years of living in a crate, has burst thru and he is the life of many a pug party!

A note from PugSpeak: When we first joined the international pug community with PugSpeak back in 2002, Maryjo and her pug gang were the first to welcome us to the 'net and exchange links. We think you are a very special lady and we are proud to feature Bozlee! We send our kisses and hugs to you and all your sweet puggy children!

Please Neuter and Spay Your Pets

As many of you know, I am a pug lover and I am also a professional pet sitter. I am amazed at the number of dogs I encounter - pugs and all breeds - that are not neutered or spayed. What's up with this??

The three biggest reasons I hear for not neutering or spaying is:

1. I can't afford it
2. If I neuter my male dog, he won't be manly anymore.
3. I didn't think anything could happen.

Okay, where to begin: Neutering and spaying does not have to be expensive, folks! Many Humane Society branches and other shelters will spay and neuter at a lower cost. Not all veterinarians charge a huge fee to spay and neuter. In the final analysis, you can shop around and prevent an unwanted litter of puppies or kitties.

Regarding reason number 2, may I just say - a bigger load of rubbish I have never heard! This is purely a myth and one of huge proportions. Whether this is some leftover stereotypical propaganda of the 50s or what, I don't know. Trust me, your male dog will be happier and there is nothing manly about a male dog running upstreet and down alley impregnating every female within a 5 mile radius. Think about how many of those puppies will wind up in shelters and possibly be put down. How cruel is that??

Reason number 3 - all it takes is one time. If your female is not spayed and there's even one unneutered male in the area, he'll find a way to make a date and she will find a way to rendezvous. You can't fight Mother Nature - and unless you are a responsible and professional breeder, you are actually being cruel to your pet. Even if you keep close watch on your dog or cat, you allow them to go through the heat cycle. It's akin to being all dressed up and no place to go.

I urge every dog and cat owner out there to please, please neuter and spay your pets. If you need help finding a facility to do this at low cost, please email me and I will be glad to help research your area.
Mary
