If you don’t have a yard or you want a way for your pug to relieve itself while you are out of the house check out PETaPOTTY. The PETaPOTTY is a box made of extruded polyvinyl that holds soiless sod, so your pug can enjoy the feeling of real grass in any environment. PETaPOTTY also has a drainage system that helps prolong the life of the sod and keeps the system sanitary. The removable drip pan also makes the system easy to clean.
The PETaPOTTY sod can last anywhere from 1 to 2 months before it must be changed. Replacement sod can be ordered from PETaPOTTY or if you live in Los Angeles or San Diego County you can take advantage of the PETaPOTTY replacement service where a PETaPOTTY representative will come to your home and clean your system and replace your PETaPOTTY sod.

On March 4th, the 2006 Iditarod kicked off in Anchorage, Alaska. This grueling race is definitely not designed for pugs. It will take mushers around 10-17 days to navigate a 1,150 mile trail with a team of 12 to 17 dogs. This race is not for the faint of heart either. During the race teams will face subzero temperatures, rugged terrain, poor visibility and long periods of darkness.

Midge currently weighs in at 2lbs, but officers on the force think that the little one will excel in her training and will be an asset to the department because of her non-intimidating nature.
