Yesterday, I wake up with my pug next to me. She usually sleeps by my feet, but on Saturday night she slept by my chest. She would rest her head on my shoulders, neck, and we cuddled all night.
She usually wakes up around 6-6:30am to go potty, but on Sunday morning she slept a bit longer and we both woke up at 8am. We gave each other pugs n kisses before hopping out of bed. At that moment I had this big overwhelming feeling of happiness. I was so thankful to have Mia in my life. She came into my life when I needed her the most, and being apart from her made me realize that I need her in my life.
I let Mia out to potty like I do every morning and after breakfast I look outside the back sliding door to check on the Mia. I notice she is chewing on something and I smile thinking it’s a toy. I look closely and that toy has a super long tail, then get closer and realized that that tail has feet and blood!! I cannot believe my eyes, all I can say is “OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! MIA IS CHEWING ON A DEAD RAT!!” I was so shocked I didn’t even think to tell her “NO MIA! NO! DROP IT!” My sister runs to the sliding door and yells, “No Mia!” She drops the dead animal and we realize it’s a BABY POSSUM!! I rush her inside to give her a bath, clean her little folds with medicated, prescribed facial wipes, I brush her teeth with prescribed toothpaste, and I clean her ears with medicated, prescribed ear solution. Yes, I have a sensative pug.
I’m still in shock and in disgust!! I look at the baby possum and I notice that the possum is missing its head, and its front two legs!!!! God knows what my pug was eating, and for how long!!! I don’t know who killed it and how it got to our back porch. All I know is Mia could not have killed that thing!! Where the other half is… or who ate it.. I DON’T KNOW!!
