My name is Ann, my retired hubby is Paul and we live a rather quiet life in Louisiana with three Chinese pugs, Rosebud, Gumdrop and Jimbo. I've been interested in pugs, pug welfare and pug rescue for many years and am an administrator at www.PugVillage.com. Gumdrop and Jimbo are both rescues, Gumdrop from a Missouri puppymill and Jimbo from an abusive family situation in Texas.
I have quite literally loved flowers since I was a child. My mother noted in my baby book that my first complete sentence was spoken when she called me to come inside and I told her I was digging in the dirt!
I've pretty much been digging in the dirt for almost 60 years.My backyard garden is tiny compared to most but it is quite adequate for all my gardening projects and requires practically no maintenance. Over the years I've been interested in many different plants and a combination of mild winters and a much loved greenhouse allow me to grow things yearround. Last summer was my first attempt at container vegetable gardening and it was quite productive.
I also enjoy sewing and crafts and try to spend at least a little time every day doing something creative. Recently I've been making shoulder bags and purses, before that it was custom costumes for Chinese pugs.
I'm attaching pictures of the pugs in their Mardi Gras 2005 costumes.
