    Default Hoping I made the right decision

    On Monday, I needed some dog food and stopped by a pet store on my way home. This store was off the beaten track but I didn't have a PetSmart or anything like that around.

    I walked into the store and saw dog cages in the back of the room. I made a bee-line straight to the cages-- and found that the store was selling puppies. I know...I know...you should never buy from a pet store because of puppy mills but when I took one look at the baby pug looking so said in the cage, I asked to see him.

    The young girl put me in a room and I was done!! I called my husband and said I am NOT letting them put this puppy back in that cage. Needless to say, I brought home a 3 1/2 month old baby boy home with me and we named him "Max".

    I can tell right off the bat that he is going to have some issues--his little nose is really smushed in so I think he will need to have some sort of nose surgery eventually. I take him to my vets tomorrow evening and I'm praying that he is healthy.

    I would be lying if I didn't say that I am worried and scared that something is wrong with him but there is no way I was leaving without that puppy.

    He's very cute. I hope his Vet visit brings good news for you both and he has no serious issues.. I saw his pics on your other post. He sure could use a good nail clipping.
    I've also read that sometimes their little noses will open more as they get older, so fingers crossed this will be the case.

    He's adorable!!!! Just because he comes from a pet store doesn't mean that he'll have problems!!!!!!!

    As for the nose....from what I can see...it looks normal! IF the vet thinks they're small......don't do anything til about 9 mo old unless he cannot play long enough or is blowing bubbles out of his nose!

    Enjoy!!!!
