A little background knowledge

I thought I should give a little background on my pups, seeing as this blog is about them. Both of them are so unique in there own ways.
   I really dont know too much about Penny's story. She was an owner surrender due to schedule changes, they just couldn't care for her anymore. Well their loss is my gain. She is such a cutie, but she is a bit pushy at times. She knocks Hank down and will sit on him. He could really care less he's just happy to have a buddy. Today Penny found her bark, of course it was at 8am when the neighbor was outside watering the garden. She sounds just like Hank, add that to the long list of things that make them alike. Penny does have some work to do in the manners department. She is a little spring and jumps up on people and mom yesterday caught her on top of the hot tub( it has a cover on it). This is only day 5 so she's just starting to get used to everything and I know with time she will be better.

  Hank aka Mr Hanky is the first dog that I could call my own. Jonny and I wanted to get a pug and started looking for a breeder since we knew we wanted a puppy. We got Hank from a breeder in Ypsilanti. Picking him up at the breeders house was a fun time. There was 5 puppies in his litter and the lady had 4 adult pugs. Thats a lot of snorting at one time. Hank was the last puppy available and mom had told us if he isn't up to par she would tell us to pass. In my head I knew I couldn't leave there without him.=)  He was 8 weeks old when we got to bring him home. Hank was not your typical looking pug. He was skinny and had long legs.
Now Hank has grown into himself more, hes 22lbs and looks more like the pugs we see on tv (just not fat). Hank loves to swim and play with the hose. He will even hop in the shower if you let him. Mom calls him an odd pug. Even with Penny around Hank is still my main man, he sleeps right next to me in bed.

 I knew having two dogs would be different and take some getting used to. Im glad my mom was here for the first few days to help me out. I know secretly she wanted to take them both home and leave me here in silence lol. I know Hanky is glad to have another dog in the house, he was a bit depressed when our old dog Lucy died at the beginning of the year. Its gonna take some time to get Penny used to the rules and Hank is adapting to having to share again. All in all im happy to be a crazy pug person, my house is decorated with an accent of tan fur everywhere and I wouldn't change it for the world.
