Dear wretchedhive, I saw your request for pug pix for your wife, and I post these pix of my 2 puggies in the hope that it will soothe her spirit. I'm so sorry that she is having such complications, and I hope she will recover very soon.
My girls are Lola (9) and Abbey (6), and they are as silly as you would expect pugs to be.
They are also very aware of who in the family is ill, or sad, and stay glued to that person during those times. I hope that sense of therapeutic empathy comes through in pictures, a psychic pug hug for your wife. Maybe even for you.
