Today I have a very special Me-Made-May post! I’m so excited to show you guys the newest member of our family!
Just a couple of gals enjoying the park on a summery day!
shades: Fred Flare, back when they had a storefront in Brooklyn
top: me-made Sorbetto top
shorts: American Eagle
sandals: Reef
bag: Strand Books
location: Washington Square Park, NYC
brand-new pet: Peggy the Pug!
Meet the newest member of la famille Ginger! We just adopted her today! She’s a rescue dog, four or five years old, and we don’t know too much about her other than that she was abandoned and a police officer brought her to the animal shelter. She and Doug the Pug are getting along well, and while she needs some training (and housebreaking– yikes!!), she’s got a winning personality and is as friendly as can be! Man Friend is especially excited to have a birthday pug!
Here’s a shot with more detail of the outfit, should that sort of thing interests you:
This is what walking a pug looks like.
Hope you guys are having a great weekend!

Totally missing your outfit details on account of the pupply goodness. Next up, sunnies on the dogs XD

Oh and before I forget (as I did once, see above) Caesar Milan’s puppy training thing. Buy/ stream/ download, he starts with what to do from the first day on (i.e. bringing home a rescue dog give it at least a 15 min walk around the neighbourhood before taking it into the house-that way it’s has it’s pee work done and doesn’t associate the house with pees-ville. Also always walk into the house before it that way it knows you know the place and are sharing a safe area with it rather than it stepping by itself into a great unknown..).

Congrats! They’re super cute together. I walked by a dog rescue adoption today, and I called my husband to tell him that I was so close to bringing home a dog. We don’t have the room though, especially with the two cats. I can live vicariously through you instead!

Luckily these guys are as low energy as cats, so they don’t need much space (they’re total couch potatoes… that’s why we have pugs, actually, as I’m usually more into big dogs, but can’t really swing that in an apartment)! I’m sure I’ll be posting tons of pug pictures! 🙂

Congratulations!! More Pug to Love! My husband and I always have the hardest time saying no every time we happen upon a pet adoption (which oddly happens a lot…) It takes some steely will to turn away those needy cats and dogs and realize that we already have two of our own that require our attention… So I’m glad there are adorable lost pugs somewhere that are getting a good home.

I know what you mean– I’ve left adoption days in tears more than once! It’s so sad that there are pets out there without loving homes. I’m glad we were able to take her!

I’ve always wanted to get a rescue dog– we tried a foster-to-adopt a few months ago, but he really needed to be in a house with a yard for him to exercise in, and that was really hard. I’m so glad we were able to find one that’s a good fit for our living situation. 🙂

They really do! They’re almost… what’s the word? Zany? They’re goofy little dogs. I grew up with big dogs and wasn’t really partial to pugs growing up, but after Doug fell into our lap, we really fell in love with him! They’re good for kids– playful, but not too hyper and crazy. Get one!!

That is so cool to hear!! I was never a small dog person either, but my hubby and I somehow ended up with 2 amazing little Chihuahuas…which were not so child-friendly. My sis and mom were more than happy (ecstatic!) to take them in after our 3rd baby was born, so at least I get to see them all the time. BUT, I really miss having dogs!!!! Enjoy your pugs! 🙂
