Hi everyone. I bought a puppy over the weekend. I've always wanted a Pug, so I decided to go ahead and get one! Am I crazy?! LOL!

Hi Kim,

Thanks so much. I'll look at that site. I was busy yesterday getting him his shots. The breeder mistakenly told me to wait 6 weeks to get his 2nd set of shots. good thing I called the vet and they said he needs shots NOW and more shots every 2 weeks until he is 4 months old! I didn't know this. the breeder had a strong accent, but I'm sure he told me to wait 6 weeks. I think his wife knew more about it than him. That has been the only thing I didn't like that happened with them.
Anyway, he is actually doing better already. He went "potty" outside yesterday twice and today once so far. My friend gave me a crate, but it's really big. he only weighs 3 pounds!!
I might get him a smaller crate. I've read online that at 8 weeks he is still very young to hold his small bladder very long. So i think I'll wait a few weeks to start the crate. Right now he only goes on his puppy training pads, so that's good...no carpet accidents..yet.
I'll try to post pictures soon, for some reason I've had problems posting on this site before and I'm not too great with the computer.
I'll keep everyone updated.

Kim

I am glad you went to the vet.....yes, he needs a ton of shots till he is 4 months. I felt like I was at the vet more than at home when harry was younger...LOL ;-)

I read the website, it's really good! That first picture of the puppy is exactly how mine looks! I think that one is a Pug, too.
They mention starting at 9 weeks, so I think I'll get a smaller crate and start next week!

Hi. I posted a picture under the photo area...click on it to enlarge it...it's way at the bottom. He's a handful, but he's been pretty good. I was able to keep him in his crate for 4 1/2 hours last night!
