Jade, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jade
Age: Sixteen months old
Gender: Female Breed: Pug
Home: Meriden, Connecticut, USA
 
   This is my Pug, Jade, also known as "JJ," "MooMoo," "Ugly Puppy," or just "Jay". I've had Jade since she was ten weeks old. I always dreamed of having my very own dog to raise and love. I nagged my mother for years and years and she always promised that she would get me a dog. So, when I saw Jade at a local pet store I just had to have her. She was so tiny and cute but ugly all at the same time I had to have her, so the next day we went and bought her.

    She was such a shy little quiet thing at first. All she would do is crawl under the sheets and fall asleep right next to me. Over time Jade grew from this three pound little thing to this 25 pound dog that I have now. Jade has changed 100% since I first got her. Now she barks (non-stop) runs wild all over the house, plays with anyone that's willing to play with her, jumps on anything she can get up on, eats everything and anything that fits in her mouth. And if it doesn't fit in her mouth, she'll find a way for it to fit. One trait that has not changed, though is her undying loyalty to me. She's always been there on my lonely nights where I felt lost and empty. To this day all I have to do is call her up to my bed open up my blanket a tiny bit and she'll run over and lay under the blanket and cuddle up besides me. She's been a real handful but I still love her. I mean look at that face... it just cries out "I love everyone!"
