Buddy Fergurson - Touched By An Angel

Buddy Fergurson thinks that sometimes his life is much easier when he doesn't look up.

He's never quite sure what he might see...

Pug angel... figures. Buddy thinks he needs to have a little talk with his mom. This Christmas holiday could be a long one.

(that's right Buddy, keep looking up)

If It's Christmas Time, It Means Cousins

It's Christmas time and when Buddy Fergurson heard that his cousins would be coming to stay - being such a thoughtful host - the first thing he did was make sure there was a gift for them under the tree.

Then he just tried to ignore even the thought of their arrival and took a nap.

Relatives for the Holidays...what can you do?

Yes, We Are Adopted

Buddy and Kevin Fergurson are in their little red vests waiting for their mom to take them for
their walk. Every time they venture out, Buddy always hears people on the street tell his mom how
cute both him and Kevin are. And every time he also hears his mom answer back "Thank you...they are both rescue pets, you know....". And that is something that Buddy is pretty happy to hear!

Buddy Fergurson Prepares for Christmas

Buddy Fergurson decided to help his mom with some Christmas preparations this week. Of course he found himself wrought with decisions.

Do I help wrap gifts?

Or mark the tree?

You are a hopeless scamp Buddy Boo!
I love you!

Bath Time for Buddy

It was an unusually warm and sunny Sunday this past weekend and Buddy Fergurson's mom decided that she should probably take advantage of the weather and give Kevin and Buddy a bath before it turned colder. It had been quite a fall. Especially for Kevin. Chasing birds, digging in the dirt, (still) eating tomatoes, running through the leaves, and rolling in squirrel poop. Needless to say, he needed a bath the most.

Looking very brave, Kevin volunteered to be first.

Of course when it was Buddy's turn... he looked around for an escape route. He really couldn't think
of a good reason why "he" would need a bath too!

But knew he was doomed!

Almost finished...

Putting that behind him, Kevin was definitely ready to move on to something else!

and so was Buddy -

About Buddy

In early 2008 Buddy Fergurson's mom was looking through Petfinder.com when she came across a photo of a fine looking young man sporting a blue fringed vest, named Weenie. She immediately sensed that this was no ordinary dog and proceeded adopt him. Weenie, who eventually confided his real name was Buddy, had been living with his rescue mom Marylou from Rawhide Rescue in New Jersey. Marylou had liberated him from a bad childhood, nursed him back to health, given him tons of love, and was now ready to find him a new, permanent home. Buddy Fergurson is a happy and healthy guy. He loves his life, family and friends. He also likes to share his observations on the world with his mom (Diane) who began posting them on her FaceBook page. When people started asking her "Well, what would Buddy say about that?" she decided that he needed his own blog.

About Kevin

Around Christmas 2008, Buddy's mom decided that he needed a few less naps and a little more action in his life. Scrolling once again through Petfinder.com, a young, bubbly, happy little guy named Jake looked like he would be the perfect answer! Jake had been found wondering around Patterson, New Jersey. He was put in a kill shelter and 7 days later was scheduled to be euthanized. Luckily Pug Planet Rescue was contacted in time, Jake was successfully rescued. He was now ready to be placed in a permanent home. Shortly after his adoption, Jake told Buddy's mom, after watching his favorite Terry Gilliam movie one evening, that he would really like to have the name Kevin instead. She figured, why not? What household doesn't need it's own little Time Bandit?

About Princess

When you are contacted by both your Vet and your son's teacher about adopting another Pug-what do you think you'd say? That's what happened 11 years ago when Princess made her royal entrance into the Fergurson household. After being repeatedly attacked by a German Shepard, this energetic little girl needed a new place to live and some peace and quiet. She joined Pugs Boris and Stewart (who have since passed) and has had a happy home ever since. Princess lost her ability to walk a few years ago, but her mom and dad got her some "Pet Wheels" and she continues to be on the move. Buddy and Kevin think that she looks pretty cool too! RIP Princess 9-10-12

About Franky

A magical love connection occurred early one Saturday morning, when Buddy’s mom ran across Franky’s charming little face in her Facebook feed. Franky’s (aka Milo’s) story had been added to Pug Planet Rescue’s Facebook page to try and help Animal Allies find him a new forever home. Sadly his previous family could no longer care for him. It had been a year since Princess had left the household, and Buddy’s mom just didn’t think that things seemed quite normal without 3 little ones running around under her feet all day. She missed the commotion (go figure). Franky seemed like he would fit in well with Buddy and Kevin, and after a quick query to Animal Allies, Buddy and Kevin were whisked away on their first ever field trip to meet their new brother. Chuckling that Franky had the best smile and shortest legs that they had ever seen on a Pug, love at first sight on Facebook was confirmed, and everyone welcomed this aborable little guy with open arms and warm hearts into the family. In addition to his new home, everyone also agreed that Milo needed a new name. For awhile he became Cecil, then eventually Franky....with a y.
