yeah It hurts. she just had her 6th birthday(we got her in kansas as a rescue of 9 weeks old) and we have got all our pug's as rescues, that's the only way I'll get a pug. they need to be loved just as much as a breeders puppy. some of our pugs have had medical problems but our little girl didn't have anything wrong and then Bam! she got diabetes and we almost lost her 8 months ago. this time her sugar went nuts and we weren't able to save her. she was sooooo cool
