98-year old man goes to day spa! What a well-behaved old fellow, and you were so gentle and sweet with him.
I had always wondered about the 7:1 ratio when trying to figure a dogs years. I found an article a few years back that discussed this and their aging is not linear. I can’t remember all the equivalents but I do remember that as dogs have already reached puberty by age one, then the dog would be at least 13 in human years. At age two they have an adult body but still exhibit remnants of a puppy brain, which would put the dog equal to our 18-20. If memory serves me correctly, it seems that the ratio gets a bit lower after that
and gets closer to the 7:1. That would put the little old man over the 100 yr mark and a bit beyond.
this reminded me of when i used to go with my great-grandma to the beauty shop to get her hair set for the week. that’s what exactly what Bud is doing, just the dog equivalent :)
He sure enjoys his spa days! He likes to be pampered! 😊
@@katiedotson704 over the last years there have been many charts showing year equivalents, though the different charts disagree with each other somewhat. But you’re right, the 7:1 ratio hasn’t been thought to be accurate for many years.
He looks like such a grumpy old man but dogs like that always seem to be the sweetest & most chill, I love it
As an asthmatic, seeing pugs struggle to breathe gives me sympathy wheezes
Please keep in mind good breeders produce healthy pugs. The comments on this channel are not well informed. I’ll keep my happy healthy pugs away from you haters. Pug genociders are a thing apparently.
@@allisonandrews4719 I don’t think Carolyn hates pugs - she’s just empathizing with their breathing struggles.
@@allisonandrews4719 Personally haven't seen anyone wishing for "pug genocide" myself, though maybe I don't delve deep enough into the comment sections here. All I've seen are people wishing that they were bred to have actual snouts and healthy bodies (and I agree wholeheartedly).
@@allisonandrews4719 The only breeders breeding "healthy" pugs are breeding them back to standard, a.k.a. Retropugs. Anything else is just staying ignorant of the reality of flat faced breeds, and the struggles most of their kind endure. I get that it is hard for those with pugs that "seem" healthy to accept that the breed itself problematic. For every one "Healthy" one you get dozens that are not. They are doomed to being wheezing animals that can barely function like a dog. It's not fair to breed any animal to have myriads of health issues for vanity's sake. I'm not a hater. I feel we need to stop breeding flat faced animals, that includes cats too. We need to stop breeding things like toad-stool pits, gsd's with sloped backs, goldfish that look like golfballs/have giant eye sacs, etc. I want to see priority of health, wellness over all else. It's not genocide to want to see us STOP breeding as we are now these animals. START breeding better health, better genetics, happier animals in the long run.
you haters? pug genociders? what are you on? they literally just said they could relate to the pugs and had sympathy
get your head out of your ass you can do better than this.
He makes me feel an odd sense of calmness and serenity. His face radiates love. What a wonderful old little man
I feel the same 😊
Beautifully said! He’s beautiful inside and out ❤️
crushed on her
It's because he is dying. Lack of oxygen will do that.
We have a pair of "retro" pugs, a breeding movement promoting a return to pre-AKC standards. Less mashed face, longer legs, as energetic as a jack russell when younger, yet still attractive and fun! The way the breed was a century or so ago. We are fortunate to have a health-conscious pug advocate in southern Maine that helped us find them :) Love the videos - fun plus I learn a ton!
ive seen those! theyre super cute and its wonderful that people are making the breed healthier
The words " a breeding movement" made my heart sink. I grew up in Lancaster County, PA, considered the puppy mill capital of the East. Recently, two Amish families petitioned to open two French Bulldog breeding facilities. They are cruel to the dogs they bring into the world .Permission for the French Bull Dogs was granted. They know what's going to sell, those wily Amish. Turns out, they are now breeding Retro Pugs. It's your right, of course, to get whatever dog you want. Meanwhile, shelters across the US are filling to record levels. Dogs--- good dogs----are dying because there's simply no room. I guess it comes down to whether you love dogs or just a single breed of dog or just your dog. You are on a mission to make a healthier pug. Many of us are on a mission to save every dog we can. Join us.
@@zulygirl4412 you know the amish are literally a cult and do not represent the vast majority of dog breeders right
@@zulygirl4412This. Adopt. Don't shop.
Buddy is such a cute old Grandpa. That face at the end of the video was so sweet. I hope his medical issues get taken care of and he continues to enjoy his twilight years.
The groomer mentioned ear medication, so this little old fart does see a vet.
Iwish people wud take their pugs and dogs2 the groomers MORE and keep them cleaner. Nevr hav i evr had a stinky pug....😩💔
My pugs live forever. My brothers pug lived till 21!!!!
We treated him LIKE A KING tho....🎉
@@DurgaUsagi This little old fart does go to the groomers and isn't dirty. What you see is gray fur on the face.
👁👄👁 😭 lol
@@DurgaUsagi😮o😮😊
My pug made it to an amazing 15.5 years old-- and would've lived longer if she didn't slip on ice in the Buffalo winter. She lived a miraculously long, healthy life.
We have one right now who is 15. He is doing really well. We think it will come down to a broken bone in the end as well.
Old age dogs are a blessing. My cocker spaniel and poodle mix was almost 16.
Bless her! 💕I love pugs, and they just get sweeter as they age.
@@lesliesteele3926 agree, they just get sweeter as they age
My pug lived to 15 as well :D
My baby girl Prue made it to 17. I grew up with her. She was with me when I started school, finished school, started my job etc. She went deaf in her old age but she was always lively until the day she died. ❤
I have two puggies that are 8 and 5, so it makes me so happy that they can last so long
@@mattroper7214 ❤️
We will again meet them in the rainbow bridge. I have full faith in God 🌈🙏
@jyotiradityaroy5109 I'm an atheist but that's lovely ❤️
His eyes hold the wisdom of the ages - and he is adorable.
the snorts that pugs make.... it makes me really sad 😭
Same ☹️ it’s not fair to breed an animal that can’t properly breathe.
I know that people are breeding retro pugs with longer snouts, but it's sad that they still suffer like that
The health issues are the only reason keeping me from wanting one. It would make me sad to see.
My sister had one and it could never breathe properly, she couldn't walk or play and definitely couldn't get hot... It's sad man..
Poor little old fellow. He didn’t say a word, just looked directly into your face while you talked. Glad he lives in a good family.
Not a lover of pugs but this guy is a heart melter.
I wasn’t… until I saw the video of the ancient pug jumping for a French fry. Turned my heart into a puddle
I agree. I started get choked up and I'm not a fan of pugs either.
That face, lol. Very sweet old man. ❤
I dont think anyone should "approve" of the way pugs are but all dogs deserve love ♥️
@@ktk44managreed. We have bred them to be unhealthy, poor little snorting squash nosed pugs.
Hearing and seeing that old fellow struggle just to breathe standing still was heartbreaking. I know he's old and likely sick but healthy small breeds can live a lot longer than 12 or 13 years.
I usually don't even think pugs are cute (mostly just sad) but for some reason this grizzled old man tugged at my heart. He was so good too. Hope he feels better soon.
I agree! Such a sweet little old man!
I have never thought the smashed face thing is cute.
@@lilly5157 Yea but for Bud it's his demeanour. He acts so chill and he's still looking around and observing, it's just such a unique attitude that makes him cute. He's like a capybara made into a dog, and it's special.
@@BhappyD I don't know what a capybara is. I don't think the brachy breeds are cute because I know how much they suffer.
@@greghazmat191 spot on with the laxidasical capybara comparison aw
What a good boy. His family has done a wonderful job training and caring for him.
But somehow they missed the fungal problem, the eye problem, and the breathing problem.
@@terry7907 There could be many reasons for missing issues, or they may not have missed them at all. They may be dealing with them as best they can.
you don't have to train Pugs, they are naturally 'sweethearts'.
People who buy such deformed dogs are not caring or doing a good job at all.
@@jennamarbles3044 he could be a rescue, hopefully that’s the case
Omg what a sweetheart. I feel so bad for him, you can hear him wheezing through the entire appointment and I can see his sides going in and out like he's breathing heavy a lot. Poor little guy. He's a real sweetheart
My pug, Marissa, live to be just over 15 years old. And that was after having a huge cancerous mast cell tumor removed from her shoulder at 8 yrs old (they didn’t get it all), pancreatitis at 12 yrs old, diabetes at 13 yrs old. Her last year she was blind, deaf, on insulin and wearing diapers, but she wasn’t in any pain and always wagged her tail! That was almost 14 years ago now and I still miss her so much.
Sorry about your dog. Our rescued Beagle (1/8th American Fox Hound) lived healthfully until she was 20+. Then she had a seizure and died. The only Vet bills we paid were for annual vaccines. My ex-sister-in-law was a breeder. The dogs she produced were totally inbred. She saw nothing wrong with that!
omg...u got me. urgh..good puggie
our pug made it to 12, and our final 6 months with him was the same, blind, deaf, diabetic, incontinent, and tons of urinary tract infections. before that though he was paralyzed at around 8 years old, so we got a good long amount of time with him after that. it was challenging, but he was a good boy.
My daughter had a pug and he was such a great study buddy when I was in college. We were lucky that he had no health issues other than having a touch of pneumonia once. RIP Jasper you were a very good boy.
Yeah. Just a bit of pneumonia here and there right.
@@jennamarbles3044 pneumonia once.
I had had pneumonia 3 times by the time l was 25. l'm now in my 60s and have been told (at a 'well women' check up) that my heart/lung age is 5 years lower than my chronological one.
Infections happen
@@jennamarbles3044 I’min my 60s, and developed COPD while I was in the Army. I have to be careful during flu season, etc., but infections happen. You live; you deal. I can tell you from experience, having made my home a fur-ever home to rescues and breed pups alike, that loving pet owners will beat themselves up and blame themselves for every little thing that happens to their beloved companion. If Rebecca’s little man had a touch of pneumonia, it means they got the little fella prompt medical care. Try to be kinder to others in you words and actions.
I’m truly sorry for your loss. Sometimes the little furry people we need just come into our lives. I had a little buddy like that. He’ was a little sole, who came about when some backyard/hobby breeders were mating dachshund and chihuahuas together to sell as "designer dogs." Marshall was just…funny looking-like the love child of Peter Lorre and Gene Wilder. But when I got to know him, I knew that the voice in his heart sounded just like Antonio Banderas. At first he would crawl up into my arms when I had nightmares, and then that was just where he always slept. Aside from needing thyroid medication, he was a healthy little man. I like to think your Jasper and my Marshall are enjoying the good times now, belly rubs and barbecue.
Naw, Jasper was the best boy
Hi Vanessa... do you think you can update us on Bud's health if there's anything to report? I am kind of invested in the little guy now... ❤
😂 Me too
Me three !!
Me four 😌☺️
Me 5
Me 6😊
When he looks up at you the trust and love in his face is beautiful. Your bond with him is very evident.
It’s so sad we’ve bred these defects in some animals just because it’s “cute” 🥺
It’s demand for them that makes them. Anyone who buys a purebred dog like this is responsible
They're supposed to be cute? Pugs look like little gremlins.
@@mongoose9851 The sound like gremlins.
@Aly I'm sorry but how can a dog who's destinguishing and most desirable features are a deformed skull and spine, possibly be healthy? I don't think it's possible for a dog who is bred for it's birth defects, especially the pushed-in nose to be 100% healthy and breathe properly.
@Aly I’ll have to take your word for it because I’ve never met a healthy pug
he's so sweet but it hurts to watch his whole body swell up and down just for him to breathe.
I agree. I think about how horrible it is to have trouble breathing when I’m sick, but that’s a pig’s whole life. It’s pretty tragic. He’s such a sweetie but we have to stop breeding flat faced dogs.
Pug all just have the best personalities. I love them so much, but I only have one because I’m lucky enough to have a uncle whose a vet that specializes in flat faced breeds. I would happily have this breed with normal muzzles, their personalities and upbeat goofy spirits is what I think a lot of people love about them.
seeing his little tummy expand as he struggles to breath made me so sad🥺 he is such a polite old man tho
I have watched a bunch of your videos and I have to say that Bud just really touched my heart like none of the others have. What a sweet boy he is.
What a sweet old boy. 6:47 I loved when Budd looked up at Vanessa and smiled! It's so sad that pugs have a lot of health problems.
He really loves Vanessa
Yeah so 😔 about breeds that are doomed w health problems. 😢
👁👄👁 😭 lol
yes, that was that "thank you mommy" look!
pugs make me a little sad
When he felt the blow dryer I swear that old man grinned because it felt good! Live long and prosper, Bud!
What an utterly sweet little dog. His expressions! So gentle and loving. I've known a couple of really old pugs--one who lived to 15! She was blind by then but still so friendly and full of love. It was so cute how Bud obviously enjoyed the blow dryer--I'm guessing the warmth felt good to his arthritis/elderly aches and pains. I want to hug him so much! FYI nobody here is blaming pugs for the health problems of the breed!! They are adorable good bois. We blame bad breeders and that's appropriate.
I noticed his labored breathing right away. And the eye. (Once a nurse, always a nurse!). I hope little Bud gets to feeling better soon. I’m glad to hear he has attentive parents.
My Beagles labored like this in their last days. They both had liver masses that I didn't know about until the end because they had no symptoms. I really hope Bud's family takes him to the vet.
Moogie B, you don’t have to be a nurse. Caring and compassion are the most important. Then familiarity with the animal you are looking at. (i.e. You are familiar with dogs but perhaps so much with an animal you have never been around.)
Like the morning I looked out my window and decided my horse “didn’t look right”. I fed her breakfast and just watched. She ate but a bit slow. But she didn’t look right. No evidence of pain any where. No runny nose or eyes. Gums were pink, oxygen good, Heart rate good. Bowel movements good. But she didn’t look right. I finally had worked my way to the rear and discovered she had a fever of 105*! She should be at 101*.
The vet pulled up an hour later and said that my mare didn’t look sick and was amazed when she checked the mare’s temp.
I told the vet, “I told you she don’t look right.”
Animals are usually very good at hiding their injuries or illness. Predators look for any sign of weakness or injury when selecting their victims.
I noticed this too. Sounds like a “snork/reverse sneeze.” He also has a nasal drainage on the same side as his smaller/swollen eye. Sadly, these are all the symptoms that align with nasal masses. My dog had one, but she’s survived for almost 2 years with treatment. But it’s important to get symptoms like these checked out asap bc nasal tumors are aggressive and nasty bc they’re so close to the brain and impact breathing (dogs don’t breathe through their mouths when they sleep, just noses).
he will never feel better , because he’s a pug.
What a good boy! We also have an elderly black pug. We give him fish oil in his food every day, and it has made a big difference with his skin and coat.
We got ours from a pug rescue when he was 6 years old. I highly recommend going to a rescue because there are many pugs whose owners buy them from breeders and then dump them at shelters when they realize what it takes to keep pugs healthy. These sweeties deserve happy and healthy lives.
Yes, pug rescues are a great option if you're looking for a pug (and have the financial confidence to care for one)!! For anyone who's looking for a specific breed, really, there's always a rescue out there who specializes in that breed.
@@RestFromTheStreets Definitely! We worked with Tiny Paws Pug Rescue and LOVE them.
Unfortunately the way pugs are built they basically never live healthy lives.
@@chill-lady-brook That can be the case without proper diet/ exercise/ medical support, yes. Ours is incredibly healthy and enjoys a very active lifestyle (along with naps and cuddles).
We got our black pug, Buddy, from a pug rescue, too. He was about 18 months-2 years when we got him and he had damage on one cornea. He eventually had to have that eye removed, but he was still the cutest. As he grayed, he was still the cutest and sweetest little old man. We had to let him go almost 2 years ago at about 11 1/2 or 12 years old. This video brought back so many memories!
This is one of the homeliest little dogs I've ever seen. However, he is so very well behaved, even when he can't breathe well. As an asthmatic myself, I give him big kudos for his cooperation with Vanessa.
It's his snout.
His long health just shows how much his owners care, and with your help to ease him
My parents knew a pug named Gizmo that lived like 19 or 20 years. Which I was always jealous hearing about because our dogs lived to 7 and then just shy of 10. But now knowing everything I do about pugs I'm just in awe. They must've been taking real good care of him
I had my pug for 12 years (2006-2019 he would have turned 13 on 10/5) he was relatively healthy until he developed brain cancer and passed away by euthanasia at the vet. He was my first ever dog and my late mother (also succumbed to cancer) bought him for us when I was 10.) I miss him like crazy and he made me fall in love with the Pug breed. He was a great dog 😢🌈🐶
That 19-20 year old was very lucky. I was given a Pekinese and told he was 9. I had him for 10 years. During that time very minimal health problems-teeth and a large cyst that had to be removed. Pudge developed eye problem at what I thought was 19 years old. Come to find out the vet tech/RN who was in her 60's thought he was closer to 21 years old. Wish I knew who the breeder was because he was a great little man. Stubborn, but a great little man.
I raised a pug puppy who lived to be 18 and a rescue we got at a year old who lived to be about 17 who both passed from heart attacks. We had another rescue who passed at age 12 from a sudden aggressive tumor in his mouth and another I raised from a puppy who passed from a heart attack at age 10, but he had medical issues throughout his life that we did our best to manage to give him a good life. They were all such sweethearts (until it was nail clipping time). They all had their own unique little personalities and were adored. We’re looking forward to adopting another soon.
@@Alicat-ks5vfI had a Peke too growing up for 17 years, they're VERY long-lived if taken for property and wonderful companions
That really is the calmest pug I've ever seen
if he was any less calm, he would have died.
They are so stupidly cute, but it breaks my heart to see em a,d listening to em breathe :(
What a sweet old man!! I hope his owners brought him into their vet as you mentioned. Even with my untrained eye, I could tell he was breathing hard. May his remaining time be pain free and full of cuddles.
ALL pugs breathe hard. They can’t help it, look at their noses!! It’s sad cos they’re nice little dogs, but I could never own one, because I really don’t think they should be bred.
Buddy is an exceptionally good boi & his parents obviously take wonderful care of him. Vanessa’s right; 12/13 is pretty extraordinary for a pug! This is absolutely no shade on his devoted owners but… selective breeding has really done a number, physically, on these beautiful dogs. Even the best breeders can’t quickly undo what some unconscionable people previously did, breeding wise, to acquire certain physical attributes. It makes me sad when outstanding dogs like Bud, have to reap the consequences. Great job, as always, Vanessa! 💕
i had two pugs growing up, they were sisters and the black pug really got the short end of the stick genetically. the black pug, sweet pea, lived only until 11/12 (cant quite rememer) because she had so many issues; lots of allergies, very nervous and sickly little dog who would get very sassy and woof a lot when she felt like speaking her mind. the other one (regular coloring) is extremely healthy and is about to turn 13 in a couple months. she has absolutely no issues, she has her weight under control (she used to be a big chunkball but now she's a proper weight). the only problems she has is the occasional ear issues that pugs get, and she had an accident where she scratched her eye on something but that healed as well as it could and she has no pain from the accident, just not sure how good her vision is in that eye. but her hearing is still going very good, and she runs around like a little puppy! i'm so glad about that too because her sister deteriorated pretty badly, had such poor vision and hearing nearing the end and got worse and worse, but it looks like little delilah is still happy to be around
It's so heart breaking to see pugs struggle to breathe. And yet people defend the breeding of them like that. I once even had someone look at the picture I posted of a pug with more nose, and tell me that was a "trash mutt." smh
jfc
No, that's how pugs are supposed to look. The kennel clubs have just gone off the deep end with their breed standards and completely wrecked the breed.
Please keep us updated on his health. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Absolutely, I would like to know how Bud is growing. A very special Dog. 🐶💗
I was hoping someone would ask this. Bud made quite an impression.
I was wondering if they got his eyes looked at because I noticed the difference in sizes too. I'm glad I'm not the only one concerned. But such a good doggo!❤
I just lost my Boston at the ripe age of 14.5. He stayed pretty healthy until the last 4 months, and rapidly went downhill. He was on so many meds and was getting so bad that we felt it was better to let him go. It hurts so much that he's gone, but we did the right thing & he's no longer in pain.
Bud seems like a very sweet old gentleman. Here's hoping he has a lot more happy years ahead of him with his family.
Working in the groom shop was how I found out I was allergic to dogs, so I had to transfer to the other side. Some of those pups were so precious and getting to see them grow old was sad. My favorite was an Ainu. I cried when his human came in to let me know he had passed.
The other side are cats?
That was very sweet of them to let you know. I used to take care of a beautiful German Pointer in Puerto Rico. He wasn't mine, he belonged to a neighbor who let him run free most of the time. He was skin and bones until I started feeding him. He loved me, and I loved him, so when he wasn't locked up he came straight to me & stayed at my house. When they'd go away he was locked up, with only 1 day of food and water. I started going over to feed and water him because he was behind a locked gate I could reach through. Those people knew I loved that dog, and when he died they didn't even bother to let me know. I loved him so much! He was such a good boy; he never gave me any trouble - just love.
They had imported him from Spain. Why they'd treat him like that I'll never understand. Just writing this has me weeping😭💔
And get this: before he died they got a new dog - probably one of the worst breeds to have in the tropics - a freaking Husky of all things. SMDH.
Thank you for loving animals. I really don't trust people that don't. And I completely don't trust them if animals don't like them. I find dogs are often quite astute at judging human character.
I think I said at least 5 times "He's sooo cute" as I was watching this. 😄 He is an adorable old man
My father bought us a black pug puppy when I was 15 from a friend of his who backyard bred his two pet dogs. Raised him from young, came to think of him as my own little brother, then one day at about 6 years old he developed some mystery illness that seemingly affected his kidneys/liver and he was dead a week later. We didn't even have a chance to seriously treat him, but we wouldn't have had the money to do so anyway. Learn from this mistake and get your puppies from a certified breeder, and have a vet fund if you do. Pug genes are seriously messed up. Rest in peace Oscar, I loved you so much. Wish I could've had more time.
I honestly thought he was actively having a stroke. I was mad because I wasn't sure what was going on. But I should know that you know these babies. But my heart goes out to him. Old age is hard. 😢
Sweet old guy❤❤❤❤
He needs to go to the ER. He is using his accessory muscles to breath.
My thoughts exactly can dogs have apnea?
@@TheRealWaYyy Yes. They can.
'' Dogs experience apneas the same way we do: They temporarily stop breathing, causing their bodies to jolt them awake to take a breath. And as with humans, this constant nighttime arousal results in sleep deprivation and all its short- and long-term health risks. ''
Poor old guy, he never even shook himself (at least on camera, or I missed it). At least in my experience, it doesn't matter how much you dry them, if they were wet, they'll shake. So glad to hear he is well taken care of by his family, and his groomer!
Within our pug's first two years of life he had to have two major operations to help him breathe as his trachea kept collapsing at the top and his lungs filled with fluid. He was a happy little thing. We only got to keep him for 7 years as he passed away from lymphoma. Lan Ping, we love you now and forever. 😢
I’m hoping Bud lives the rest of his days happy and well! PewDiePie’s pug Maya lived to 17 before passing which is very old for any dog, especially for a pug!
I thought about her too! They took such a good care of her too
@@ThereAlright they really did! She had such a happy life up to the end! And I know they’re taking good care of Edgar and Momo
@@BeatlesPlotagonShow That's for sure :D
I immediately thought about her!! RIP Maya, she was so loved by many around the world.
Was looking for this comment
He is just adorable. It hurts me to hear him breathe tho😢
Oh sweet boy, you can tell how hard it is for him to breath. Poor, poor old man.
Oh, I love Bud ! Senior dogs are a favorite of mine. I 'love his squishy, grey face, want to give it a kiss ! 😘😘 I hope his health issues turn out to be minor or fixable. Bud's golden years are worthy of nothing but happiness, comfort and peace. Again, Vanessa will alert the owners of some possible issues with his health. TY. Bless you Bud, you are a small wonder ! 💞💞
You are such a jewel Vanessa in taking care of Bud on his spa day.
Speaking from experience, as much as it is distressing for an owner to be alerted or reminded of an unusual condition (especially lumps) from a grooming, it is a great opportunity to deal with a health issue that may otherwise have gone unnoticed at home.
I'm glad he's living a good life for his age. He looks great for his age.
This pug is a cutie patootie! And had such a good disposition.
Mankind has so much to answer for in the development of this breed. My puppymill rescue boi was 3 when I got him. William Peebody McSnorkle esq. lived his best life with me until he was almost 13. With his seizures, hip problems, knee issues, breathing problems and skin issues and all the rest, I've missed him every single day. Bill was my very good boi!
Ahhh, the poor baby. When I saw his sides heaving, I could tell how much trouble breathing was for him. Such a well-behaved old gentleman. Buddy boy, you're the bestest dog! ❤❤❤❤❤
Bud is a very good boy. Bless his little heart ❤.
His sweet face is as cute as Christmas! What a wonderfully behaved dog! His parents take very good care of him!
This poor little guy. He's so sweet and innocent. He just goes with the flow and takes what comes and doesn't complain. He looks at Vanessa like "Ok, what's next"? Such a sweetie. I hate to see the health problems Pugs have but it's obvious that Bud has been loved and cared for his entire life. ❤
Buddy is such a sweet, well tempered senior. My heart just melted 💖
He's quite the dignified older gentleman, living his best golden years.
Awe - hope his eye and breathing are OK and he is seen soon by the vet. What a sweet little doggie spirit.
That little ol’ guy warms my heart. You took very good care of him.
I'd say Bud's livin' large for such a little senior doggie! ❤
What a well behaved old gentleman!❤❤❤❤
Please keep us updated about how Bud is doing. He’s such a sweet little trooper!
What a good ole boy! So sweet!
That laboured breathing concerns me because that's what our chihuahua did and after rushing him to the vets it turned out he had fluid in his lungs. I hope it's seen to quickly and that he's ok.
Awe he's such a little potato
Bud the Pug reminded me of my Mr Bubba. He was a rescue and large and black. Bubba was completely blind and arthritic. He followed me everyday and was always ready for adventure. He went everywhere with me, and could be cranky I have had pugs and other breeds all my life but pugs were my favorite . My pugs lived to be 15-19 years old. I had no problem with keeping them clean, esp their wrinkles. I lost my Bubba to inoperable and untreatable cancer. I no longer show, so rescues are 😌 with a Chug rescue from Colorado Pug Rescue. Gemma is wonderful for me.
PUGS are so sweet, but yes, they have many health issue. My best friends rescues them.
It's impossible but I wish you could groom my pug, Max (he also goes by pork chop) ! He's 15 and incredibly well for his age, still doing his zoomies and old man tippy taps when he gets excited lol he's the sweetest soul ;)
I'm glad he's been living a good life.
My friend's pug lived to be 16 . She was a fabulous creature with a lot of personality. While I know Pugs are bred to disease, they still deserve love and care.
I appreciate her thoughtfulness and care with all her clients but especially the elderly ones. I hope Bud’s remaining days are happy and comfortable. ❤
Oh Bud, he's a good natured dog but that pug snort is rough
What a lovely old gentleman. He is obviously well loved by his parents and his groomer❣
A couple of my dogs when they got really old, loved getting groomed. I think it helped to reach some of the itchy places that they couldn't reach anymore. It breaks my heart to see them getting so old and needing extra care. I love them so much, and I can tell by the way that you treat them, that you do too. Thank you on his behalf.
This little guy reminds me of Marbles - Jenna Marbles' dog. You can tell he is full of love and has just the most gentle eyes
see I remember the first time you cleaned Bud on your other channel like 2-3 years ago? he already looked ancient then but man
my brother and sister-in-law foster rescued pugs in my state and there hasn't been a single healthy one among them :(
they really are such quirky, goofy, and lovveable dogs though
I don't think there's such a thing as a healthy pug
Man it's so sad people are this selfish. They breed animals with deformations that are doomed to suffer just because they like how they look. When I see abominations like english bulldogs or pugs I feel angry and quite disgusted at how unhealthy they are and it's not the dog's fault but something needs to change because this is not ok.
Buds like I’m gonna be good because I’m with my girl Vanessa.
adorable little fighter
I hope we can get an update on this sweet old man. I just want him to feel better poor guy
Poor guy, he has the demeanor of a really old man just going through his day walking at a snails pace
I love all dogs but old dogs are the best
what an adorable old man!
he has the sweetest little face 🥺 this little old man is clearly very loved by his humans, and he's so polite too! just a good boi all around
The way he waddles and walks 🥺
He's such a well behaved little gentleman 💙💙💙💙💙
Poor guy not feeling well. His family has taken good care of him
Life is pain for pugs but this fella here, is taking it like a champ. Brave little guy
Pugs are the best...haters gonna hate but they are the funniest little clowns. They have big personalities and they are always looking to be in trouble. I love them
I used to have a pug, and his wrinkles / ears omg, a daily struggle ! but he was a lovely baby, as nice as this one during bathing
What a lovely little chap.
First off, what a lovely old man, very similar to my own rescue puggle who passed a couple years ago. I love pugs and bulldogs and other flat faced little rascals. Now for my hot take: no more pugs. No more breeding of these guys, for their own good. Same with other short fat flat faced, short, thick dogs like bulldogs. Take only the best specimens of the breeds and cross them with healthier breeds. Reverse engineer what we've done. I would advocate for much more thorough laws on breeding/selling pets, and this is one of them. If we can ban pitbulls "for our protection" we can certainly ban unhealthy breeds for their own protection.
My chihuahua is 13 too and honestly he’s still very spry, No arthritis or joint pain, he was quite fat for a while but he’s only a little bit chubby now and he seems as happy as ever.
There are breeders that breed pugs "with nose". Thus the dogs can breathe. Please look for those breeders or look for a dog from a shelter. Thx
yeah, they're called retro pugs aren't they?
@@gingermaniac5484 A retro pug is a cross between a pug and a Jack Russell terrier. One day at the dog park, I saw a cutie and asked his owner what he was and she said he was a puggle - pug crossed with a beagle. He was lively and could breathe.
@@gingermaniac5484 Yes, it's the name in English, I guess.
@@TheKyPerson Yes, the retro pug is a pug crossed with either a beagle or a Parson Russell terrier.
Hey, Vanessa, you need to do a video showcasing different grooming tools. In Soapy's video, you said how important it is to use the right tool, otherwise, the coat will be damaged. Most of us have no idea how these tools work and what the difference is.
That's an excellent suggestion, Bethany!
@Girl With The Dogs2
I would recommend if you want a pug, you get what's known as a "Retro pug". These are pugs that are cross bred with other dogs like jack russells or beagles. This way they are born with longer snouts so they don't have too many breathing issues. They're not perfect but they are a step in the right direction.
True but our puggle had diabetes and went blind so….. they still have issues
Poor old guy. Very sweet. I believe he still has some years ahead, though. He's adorable!
