Arrival Story:
i pulled him out of animal control on valentine's day 2004. i was checking on a miniature pinscher but have always liked pugs and i saw him and he had been available for adoption for quite some time. he was a mess and noone had wanted to adopt him. he was dumped in the night drop box with another dog. they were obviously kept outside because he was filthy, covered with fleas, and his fur was all bleached out from the sun. i had him for adoption but i didnt think any of the applicants were suitable to become his new parents as most of them would have been first time dog owners. it came time to move and i contacted pug rescue to see if they could place him or if they had an approved home in my area but i never heard back. so he and 4 minpins made the drive with me from CA to TX.
Bio:
Munkey is quiet the character and so thats how he got his name. he is attached to me almost 24/7. he always sleeps under my chair while i work on the computer. he is good with kids, cats, and both large and small dogs (i rescued miniature pinschers and rare mastiffs in CA). with the exception that he is possessive of me and not always fond of my little male minpin, widget. otherwise hes pretty affectionate and happy and likes to play and he loves people! he barks at things in the sky such as planes and birds and when he hears certain things on tv such as a doorbell or telephone or baby crying.
i had munkey for adoption for 2 years because i thought he would be happier if he recieved more attention and didnt have to share as much. not many people are willing to open their homes and hearts to an older dog though and so on valentines day 2006 munkey officially became mine... 2 years to the day i pulled him from being euthanized. with his grizzled gray face he will forever be My Munkey Man :)
oh and his skin issues have finally resolved themselves and he had soft pallette surgery summer 2005 so he breathes much better now, yippie!

I was so excited, mom put my purple harness on and leashed me up. we got out the front door and i had the whole world ahead of me; things to smell, places to go. i love going for walks and it was just me and none of those pesky minpins for once. mom didnt let me go far though and then she opened up her car door and said "hop in". Even better, i LOVE car rides!!! she made me stay in the back but i spun in excitement and gruffed and snorted and chortled the whole time. i hope we go to the place that smells good with all the friendly people that say how cute i am and give me cookies and yummy stuff to eat, oh wow! well the car finally stopped and the door opened. i jumped down and we went inside. hey, this isnt where i wanted to go! this place smells funny and none of the other dogs are playing. i barked and barked that i wanted to leave but mom just kept scratching my butt and well, you know how that is... it felt so good that my legs shook and i just didnt care anymore where i was.
we walked in the back and there were two nice ladies that put me on a high table and told me "what a good boy" i was and "how cute" i was.... well duh, im a pug! they messed with my ears and looked at my teeth which i didnt mind too much but then they held me real tight and i didnt like that at all. i tried to twist and turn but they were strong and i kept slipping on the metal table. i felt a pinch on my leg and then all of a sudden i was free and handed back to my mom. i did a little shake to fix my disheveled fur and then i strutted on out of there. i mean really, what was all of that about? we went for a couple short walks but otherwise mom just held me and kissed me and rubbed my velvety little ears. after a while i heard the ladies telling mom that i was "heartworm negative".... whatever that is... but mom sure was HAPPY!
hey, can we go already? i have places to go, people to meet! gruff, snort, snort!
