| Favorite
food: |
Anything
mom has in her hand, is on the table, or in his bowl!
Has been caught on the dining room table with
his face in the butter dish!
|
| Favorite
toy: |
A
stuffed armadillo that he won as a puppy. He sucks on
it like a pacifier and it puts him to sleep.
Will not touch any of the other toys in the
house.

| Likes: |
Going
for walks in the rain, agility class, having his tummy
rubbed, stealing dirty underwear out of the clothes
basket and sneaking into the closet to track any left
over food in mom’s show clothes pockets.
|
| Dislikes: |
Big
dogs, being told “NO”, having his nails done and his
whiskers cut.

His
daughter, Diva.

| About
the Owner: |
Donna
lives in Fremont CA and is a retired elementary school
principal. She has one son, Anthony, who attends the
Academy of Arts College in San Francisco and was
responsible for convincing her to get their first Pug.
Donna has been showing dogs since 1970. Her first show
dogs were Great Pyrenees, which were nationally ranked
in both conformation and obedience.
Dogs have been the major focus of her adult life
and she takes pride in the fact that all her dogs’
accomplishments have been “owner trained and
handled”.
Donna has taught both Obedience and Conformation
classes but prefers to go to classes rather than teach
them!
She is actively involved in all things “Pug”
and is currently the Vice President of the Northern
California Pug Club and Secretary of the Pug Dog Club of
America.
