Almost home!

Hi everyone! My name is Mickey but I hear that my name is going to be changed to Buddha. I guess I'll figure out why after I meet my human mommy. Right now I live in Bunceton, Missouri with my mom and dad and brother and sisters. A nice lady namd Lori is taking care of me.

My life began on a cold day in February. February 1, 2007.

Here's a picture of me as a newborn baby:

I look kind of weird, but what do you expect? I was surrounded by a bunch of other pugs, my brother and sisters, and I was a bit overwhelmed.

Here's a picture of me, trying to push through my siblings:


Here are my siblings:

Molly. She's going to Matt and Annie in Orchard, NE.


Madison. She's going to a woman named Jan in Watertown, WI.


Minnie. She's going to a woman named Laura in Rapid City, IA.


Milo. My only brother. He's going to Chanda in Jackson, WI.

I'm going to miss my sisters and brother, but I think that good times are ahead.

Here is a more recent picture of me, about 5 weeks:

I hear that my new mommy is a photographer. I guess I'll have a camera in front of me all the time!

Here's my daddy, Bandit:

Handsome, huh? Everyone says I'm going to look just like him. I hope I get his eyes.

Here's my mommy, Abby:

She loves to eat popcorn and I hear my new mommy loves it, too! I hope she lets me eat some.


Well today is Monday and I go to my new home in St. Louis on Saturday, March 31. I am nervous and excited at the same time! And I can't wait to find out why my name is Buddha..
