My family has had dogs ever since I was a young child. I grew up on a small farm with beef cattle, so I learned at a young age about responsibility and how to take care of animals from the dogs to the cows. Once I was on my own in 2012, I became a Pug Mom. I got my pug, Maggie, when she was a puppy. Then, late in 2013, I adopted an approximately 5 year old pug named Winston. In January 2021, I put Winston, down. He was 12 years old and his ability to walk had deteriorated. Maggie was an only fur child until I decided to adopt again in December 2023. I adopted another black pug named Cole, and he's approximately 4 years old. Cole is a bouncy ball of happiness. Most recently, I lost my baby girl Maggie in June 2025 at 13 years old after a month long battle with pancreatitis.
