| Rudy, Mozart, and Yoda |
| Yoda the jokester |
| Rudy at Lido Beach |
One of the things I love most about Sarasota is that we are a dog-crazy town.
I got Rudy when he was 8 weeks old in August of 2000. He can spell, loves to ride in the
car, and thinks he can talk. See the video below.
Yoda is a mix of Boston Terrier (maybe a Frenchie?) and Pug. I call him a "Bug". He was a
rescue dog that I got when he was a puppy and has been with me since 2001.
Rudy has some favorite parks to recommend. You can see them here.
My third pug (Mozart aka Mozey) is another rescue from the Humane Society of Sarasota
County. When I adopted him in 2005 he was overweight and had bad skin mange. With a
lot of baths and an improved diet, he turned out to be a beautiful apricot color. Unfortunately,
he passed away in his sleep on New Year's Eve morning 2011. He was truly a special dog
and will be missed.
Here are some of my favorite pug links:
Itchy-dog.com: Sarasota-based company. Their shampoos and sprays have worked great
on my dogs. Pugs are susceptible to allergies from flea and tick bites. Their shampoos
work great to relieve itching and flaking.

PUG UPDATE!
This adorable little girl I'm calling Olive has turned up on my
doorstep on 10/15/2011.
Luckily, she's been reunited with her owners after a short
stay with us. Such a cute little girl, it reminded me of how
old my boys have gotten. Turns out her name is Chloe, and
she really gave them a run for their money!
