Ping the Pug

Ping meets her new friend Rocky, an 8-week-old shitzu puppy.

A special thank you to Belle for letting Ping stand on her eye and not getting mad. She was a very gracious hostess.

From Atlanta to Texas to Ohio and back… Christmas was a lot of traveling for Ping. The trip included being sedated, meeting TSA agents and trying very hard to make friends with Lego and Jasmine, her two chihuahua cousins.

Ping was very enthusiastic about seeing them, which led to some hard feelings and misunderstandings, but it all worked out okay in the end.

Puppy school is out! Here’s a group photo of the PetSmart class Ping just finished up. Her Monday nights are going to feel lonely for a while after 8 weeks with her friends.

Ping made many new friends at Agnes Scott at the “Miss Your Dog, Come Pet Mine” event.

Ping made her first appearance at the monthly Atlanta Pug Meetup Group event this morning!

The location was the small dog area of the Piedmont Park Dog Park and the theme was Christmas attire. Ping wore her pink down jacket for all of 10 minutes (not pictured) but once she started playing with the other dogs it had to go.

The first photo is Ping with Naylene and a new friend, and the rest are some of the other pugs that were there today.

Ping and her custom portrait pumpkin!

I made the stencil from a photo by applying a few Photoshop filters and then I transferred the image to the pumpkin and carved it out… carefully.
