His name is Vito.  Just look at that sweet lil face!  Vito came into my life 3 years ago.  I had another Pug before him, Maizy Girl.  It was just me and Maizy for 4 years. We did everything together.  I got married and so then it was just the three of us.  It's hard for me to talk about Maizy.  She tragically died 3 years ago.  Worst part is it all happened right before my eyes.  I was so upset and to tell you the truth I've never gotten over it.  I still think of her everyday.  My husband felt so bad for me.  Under that tough exterior is a gigantic heart.  I came home one day to this little fellar greeting me at the door, jumping and licking me in the face.  And it's been that way ever since.  He such a loyal guy.  Always following me around, always by my side.  It's almost like Vito knew I was sad the first day he met me and his main goal was here to cheer me up, make me laugh again.  Just look at the picture above, I'd say he's succeeded.  That is the one and only trick he knows, begging.  I don't even know how he learned it.  He just did it one day.  He now does it on command or just because he feels he's being ignored and wants attention.  It's hilarious.  I even catch him begging to the cats when they are ignoring him. 

 My favorite thing about a Pug is the head tilt.  Check Vito's out here when I sing to him a crazy song about all his favorite things (make sure your volume is at a decent level, my voice is ear piercing)....
