Two cheeky brindled pugs - Teddie a worldly wise gent who has a way with the ladies and Bruno his young apprentice. Together they are... The Brindled Brothers!
Please put your volume up and join us in remembering my cheeky brofur Toppo. He was naughty, wilful, and didn’t understand the word ‘no’, but he was so much fun to have around. Here’s to Toppo!
🎶 Ne ne na na nu nu it’s Toppo! 🎶
Dear furPals I have very sad news: today we had to let Toppo go 🌈💔🌈his hind legs had not regained full mobility & he was poorly internally with both bowel & bladder incontinence & the situation unlikely to improve - the vet came to our house - Mummy cuddled Toppo to da end😭😭
Toppo here - Dad visited today and took me for a walk using the bottom sling. Then we had a big cuddle and ate woast chicken. My legs are moving a bit better, but still can’t bear weight. Did they really need to shave that much of my back? I’ll be a laughing stock!
Toppo Update - I walked around with the aid of a sling and dad holding me up. Can’t support my own weight or do a wee for myself yet. Still staying at the vets for now. Time will tell...
Toppo here still at the vets, but my leggies are getting stronger. I was even sniffin’ and circling grassy tufts looking like I was about to piddle, but didn’t. Look at me go!
Toppo Update - He’s staying at the vets hospital & having a CT scan today, with a vet who does spinal surgery arriving Tuesday morning - still can’t move his back legs, but seems in less distress than last night. He ate some roast chicken & got lots of fuss from M&D. We miss him!
Breaking news update on Toppo! I’m home furpals!! I still haven’t wee wee’d but I’ll be going back to the vets every day at tea time so they can express my bladder with a temporary catheter! I was even turning around in my garden looking for the right spot...🤞🏼💦🤞🏼
Ted here with some worrying news. Brofur Toppo damaged his back late yesterday & was in discomfort, but within an hour could not move his back legs & was rushed to the vets hospital. He is still there & heavily sedated, we are very worried & keeping our paws crossed 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ted here, this is my new brofur Bruno. On our walk he tried to impress us with his gymnastic ability, to be precise... a handstand piddle. That’s right with both back feet off the ground! I’ve told him... no one likes a show off!
I was patted by a child on my walk and as they walked away the mum said “Don’t forget to wash your hands when you get home.” The ruddy cheek of it, the sticky fingered, snotty faced, cacky panted little bugger! 😡 😤 😡😤😡😤😡
It’s the 29th of February, the day when it’s tradition for ladies to propose. Well... I’m available... anyone?... lady pugs.... I’m still waiting. I may be carrying a little extra weight, but I’ve still got a few of my own teeth.... you could do worse!
Ted here, we’ve just heard from the vet that Toppo is out of surgery and doing ok. It will be a week before he can come home and it might be a month or so before he can walk properly. We all miss him so much!
Toppo here - I’m still at the vets and no wee yet. But I have been standing briefly on my own, I got fed woasted chicken, went for a little walk wiv the bottom sling and got a big cuddle from dad. Here I am being clutched to his ample bosom!
Still staying at the vets (day 23) no wee yet but I’m walking without the bottom sling to hold me up. My left leg is weaker than my right, but brofur Ted is helping me.
Toppo here live from the back garden showing off my walking on all four leggies. I’m following dad who’s holding a biscuit and then throws it for me. Look at me go!
Ted here with some advice for all you young pups. Never make a nuisance of yourself at the dinner table, but at the same time always let them know you’re there.
*Paw Circle Please*
Teddie here, our darling little friend Chloe
@Pug_Chloe
is feeling rather unwell, please could we all send paw-prayers and love to her and her Mummy. Thank you friends, I’m here watching out for her concernedly from across the world.
Teddie 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤞🏽🤞🏽💗💗😘😘
Shhhh! Ted here, look at brofur Toppo’s feet moving in his sleep. Not bad considering he couldn’t move his legs 2 weeks ago, now he can do it wiv his eyes shut!
Serious Ted here - I follow most people back on Twitter but when they have no avi picture, no profile description & they haven’t tweeted anything it makes you think, have I got anything in common with this person? They could be a dog shampoo company, you can’t be too careful!
Gather round & I’ll tell ye a story 📖
Once upon a time, 10 years ago, in a small Hungarian village, a lady pug gave birth to a litter of tiny pups. One of the pups was blessed wiv a coat of fine tiger stripes & his name was Kis Lukács.
It was me Ted...IT’S MY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎁🥩
Ted here furpals - We thank all of you for your dear, sweet, kind messages of condolence over our loss of Toppo. Mum would like to try answering ALL of your messages, but I need her to fetch my treats, get my dinner and take me for woodland and beachy walks - just saying - Teddie
Good morning furpals! Guess what? It’s my Gotcha Day today! It was on this day that M&D and Hector saved me from living in a freezing cold shed. Since then I’ve enjoyed the life of Riley! Today I’m going to tweet some of my favourite photos depicting my new life.
Pic 1 Smugness
Bruno here it’s my birthday today - I’m at da top of da stairs eavesdropping on Mum talking about me on da phone! She’s booking me in to be done! I’m so excited, is it going to be like a Spa Day? Don’t tell me Don’t tell me! Don’t spoil da surprise!
Bruno here, I’m in the kitchen trying to understand the words “Curry is too hot for pugs.” Does google translate convert English into Dog.... if not why not!
⚠️FIREWORKS SAFETY NOTICE⚠️If anyone is thinking of buying fireworks today, please consider donating to an animal rescue instead. If you simply must have fireworks, remember to hold them tightly between your buttocks when letting them off, it helps deaden the noise.
Toppo here, I really would like to thank all my furpals for all your get well wishes and prayers for me over the past month, it’s amazing what you can get through with plenty of TLC, that’s Tender Lumps of Chicken...don’t forget to always milk it for all it’s worth
Throwback Thursday & it’s my Gotcha Day!
On this day M&D rescued me from a shed in a flooded field in Somerset where I was kept. I had just spent Kwistmas in the shed while the smug house cat enjoyed Turkey wiv all the trimmings. My life was about to change for ever.
I’m at the table where M&D are eating chicken. There’s a fine line between good manners and making sure you don’t go without. Polite insistence I call it....
Ted here, live from a grassy knoll behind the vets. I’m a bit wobbly but all four legs are now working. And I’ve had chicken, mummy cuddles and 10 gallon wee 💦
Thanks for all your kind wishes pals.
Mum says it’s a good job she never saw me as a pup, because an overload of sweetness would have caused her to spontaneously combust. It’s twue, I have heard of that!
On my 10th Gotcha Day, I would like to thank my old brofur Hector. That big, wobbly faced heffalump taught me everything, he was my Yogi and I was his Boo Boo.
Thanks Hec!
Toppo update furpals - Toppo is having surgery on his spine to remove one or two discs - we will keep the updates coming - thank you all for your kind prayers, advice and good wishes - Teddie, Mum and Dad
Toppo here, woofing live from the vets. I’m a bit sleepy but some loud mouthed Basset keeps making a right old racket.
Wooof keep it down out there, some of us are trying to recuperate over ‘ere!
Here’s mums latest hi-tech security alarm and this is how it works. The intruder turns the handle, the cup falls and smashes, seconds later dad appears stark naked wielding a cricket bat. They won’t forget that in a hurry!
We found some photos on an old digital camera. This was me the day after I was rescued from living in a shed, in a flooded field, wiv a collar cutting into my neck and hopping wiv fleas. My gotcha day is coming up soon, M&D had better not forget.
Wotcha furpals!! It’s Teddie & Toppo here just to say that Toppo is expressing his bladder via leaking into pads or little squirts on walks & now only needs weekly Vet visits! He also passes the odd motion in da garden - bonus!!
Toppo here - day 20 at the vets.
M&D and Ted came to visit. We had woast chicken, gwavy bones, some yoghurt, a walk around the field & lots of cuddles. I can just about stand on my own, l👀k I’m not being held up!
Ted here, and I apologise for my language in advance.
Dad’s mowing the lawn to calm his temper. Twitter threatened to close our account for playing Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me To The Moon, but we’ve just had to block a bloke wiv his cock out. Which is more offensive?!
So ladies.... if you went on a blind date and I turned up, would I get a second date? I’m a very attentive dinner companion, with impeccable table manners. 👅
I don’t trump at the table..... much 💨 ooops!
I’m hanging in there furpals! Fanks for all your loving support! Mum came to give me kisses and cuddles today - my front legs won’t work, we are hoping this is temporary - Ted
Walking down our street today a friendly neighbour asked mum in for a cup of tea. They then asked if she could leave me in the garden as they don’t allow animals in the house... 🤬🤬🤬🤬
WELL THEY CAN STICK THEIR TEA WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE!!!
It’s a sad day furpals, it’s one of those things you think happens to other people and not you. Well it has happened...mum’s announced that it’s “Toy Laundry Day” oh the inhumanity!
Birthday lunch after a walk along the cliff path. Fish & Chips in the car, in the rain, overlooking the sea, having a cuddle wiv mum on the back seat. I have my fish with the batter removed and it was double delish!
Where my nose wrinkle goes over my nose I have a little bump. This is from when pugs had a unicorn horn but after millions of years of evolution it’s disappeared. Legend says if a lady kisses it she can make a wish. ONE AT A TIME LADIES, DON’T WEAR IT OUT!
Ted’s Thought of the Day - Dogs not allowed in supermarkets for hygiene reasons. Ok... but next time you’re pushing that trolley look at the child seat & think of how many cacky panted, wet nappied, pissy nickered screaming little buggers have sat their over the years.
Everyone knows I like getting up on the table, but this is the earliest picture of me on a table. I was very young & had my brindled butter beans resting on a place mat. It’s basic good table manners to rest your testicles on a place mat, remember that at your next dinner party!
If you heard a knock at your door and looked through the little peephole and saw this, would you let me in or hide behind the sofa?
“IT’S ONLY ME... I’ve come to eat the contents of your fridge!” 👁👅💦
Bruno’s Walk Diary - I’m angry! Not only did Dad take me out in the rain but when I found a perfectly good half eaten boiled egg on the pavement, he kicked it down a drain. It goes to show, you think you know someone and then they do something despicable like that!
Toppo here furpals - at da vets to have my bladder emptied, bit embarrassing really as a brown Conker fell out of me bum onto da floor... don’t know how it happened!
I’m back furpals! I’m very groggy but trotting about a bit - will keep you updated. Thank you all so much for your loving tweets and good wishes, I love you all! Teddie ❤️💕❤️💕
Expectant faces looking up from our bed right next to the dinner table. Someone would need a heart of stone to resist our best beseeching eyes. 👀 Never fails!
