The pugs are gone! The pugs are gone!

The folks kitty corner from my back yard have two pugs who bark at Tristan a lot (he is entirely blameless). When both the pugs and Tristan are out, they talk ferociously at each other and one side has to go in. Well, the moving truck is there today and Tristan and I are very happy to send them off with our good wishes.

Obviously Tristan isn't totally blameless although he and the previous golden retriever occupants quietly cohabited their respective corners. The pugs, however, insist on barking at Tristan and he, of course, is determined to have the last woof so he often gets brought inside. We will enjoy a respite and hope the new owners don't have a huge male mastiff or other big guy (or pugs with attitude) that will set off new rounds of going mano-a-mano.
