Favourite New Creative IPad App
I typically play games on my IPad like Mahjong and Sudoku to relax my mind. Too much thinking ruins creativity.

Luxington takes on the Sunshine Coast
Of the six pup’s i decided to keep one. I named him Luxington because i thought it sounded regal. He was the smallest in the litter and the most unique. It was very difficult to let each of the pug’s go off to their new homes. They left each left with their own baby bag and blanket. None of them have any health concerns other than the typical breathing issues. Lux has had a nose job which helped his snoring.

Pug Puppies are Angels
Following the birth of 6 healthy pugs puppies I had my work cut out for me. I moved my bed to the lower level of the loft to keep things in order. Taylor, the mum, wasn’t all that interested in being maternal. I had heard pug’s weren’t typically good mother’s. It seemed quite the inconvenience to her. Yet we managed to grow the pups into healthy balls of energy and fun.
