So, this is Bex. He’s a Jug…a Jack Russell/Pug mix. He’s energetic.
The Kidlet and I have been wanting another dog for some time now. We visited the shelters on several occasions without any luck. We found dogs there we wanted to adopt, but they happened to be the ones that other people wanted to adopt as well…that’s a good thing! Ok, not for us, but for the dogs 
Unfortunately, there are many Pit Bulls in the shelters around here. Breaks my damn heart. I am not against the breed at all, in fact, I think they are beautiful dogs. I just can’t have one. My home-owners insurance won’t allow it. It sucks, but because people have done such shitty things with the breed, responsible dog owners get the shaft.
So, I have been watching the local papers and a couple pet sites and low and behold, I came across an ad for Jugs. He was born on a large, working Amish farm. His mother is a Jack his father a Pug. He mostly looks Pug minus that smooshed face. He’s adorable. He’s energetic. He likes to chase his curly little tail.
We brought him home yesterday and after the initital OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?? moment from Rudy, they got along just fine. Rudy realized quickly that if he didn’t want to be bothered, all he had to do was jump on the couch or go up the stairs. Bex can do neither yet.
Why Bex? Well, duh. He’s named after my boyfriend, David Beckham. The Kidlet named him, actually. I had other suggestions for him too, but he settled on Bex. I think it’s cute.
He did well last night…no whining or whimpering. Probably because I put him in the bed with me, hee hee. I took him out right before we went to bed and we had no accidents at all *knock on wood*. I was up at 6:00 and took him out and he went right away. I am hoping this is all a good sign that house-breaking is going to be a smooth road…
Speaking of…it’s tinkle time for Bex…
