Meet Our Pug Boston Terrier Mix Dog
Our second furry child is our Pug Boston Terrier mix, Grump. Grump was the result from one of my maternal meltdowns when I just needed a puppy. I used to have these about 3 days out of the month. We knew to let them pass. This time it didn’t, so we searched rescue sites and found The Grump. He has made the most entertaining addition to our family for sure.
Hilo, our white German shepherd is very much Mike’s dog. He loves us both, but truly bonded to my husband. I wanted a lap dog to sit with me while I work from home.
Pug Boston Terrier Mix – The Grump
His name was listed as “Grumpy” on adopt-a-pet.com where we discovered him. I should say that Mike discovered him. He likes to remind me and take the credit as often as possible. 😉 They had him down as a Pug Boston Terrier mix, but later we found out that the mother might have been part French Bulldog, too.
The reason they called him Grumpy was because he was the only one of his litter that would stay in the crate while all his brothers and sisters would run out to play. Mike and I could relate and thought he sounded a lot like us! That’s why we kept his name as Grumpy… and perhaps, because we aren’t all that creative in the name department. In any case, we never call him by his name. We have several nicknames for both of our dogs. Not sure how they came about, but they just morphed over the years.
The Grump has quite the little personality. In my opinion, he’s the most hysterical little creature that I have ever met. He cracks us up daily and comes up with new funny antics on a daily basis. Mike calls him rotten, because he pretty much is super spoiled.
He understands English very well, except the word “no” seems to confuse him. It’s hard to teach him what it means with those puppy dog eyes. He’s got them mastered!
The Grump is so in tune with my emotions. I believe this is the first time I have completely bonded with an animal. Mike jokes around and says we are like E.T. and Elliot. This dog has helped me with my mental issues more than any drug ever has.
This little animal fills my heart and I love him to death. Sometimes I feel like I might just take a chomp out of him cause he’s so darn cute. More pics can be found in this Google + album. And, videos can be found on my YouTube channel. Yes, this is what happens when you are obsessed with your animals and addicted to social media.
We are both so thankful to have this funny guy in our lives. He is a precious addition to our family. The Grump is also proof that you can find what you’re looking for on rescue sites. A pug mix is the perfect breed for my lifestyle, and we found him through rescue.
Do you have pets? Do you have crazy nicknames for them? Have you ever met a pug Boston Terrier mix?
Hey Jen are you still keeping Sweeptight too? Love the new blog and I’m happy to follow here too. Mr. Grumpy’s so cute. Those fur babies can really steal our hearts! We have a 13 year old dog named Mattie short for Matisse and 4, yes 4 cats named Pumpkin, who’s orange and 24 lbs. He was aptly named because he’s orange but we never knew he’d get to be the size of a real pumpkin. lol. Then there’s Blackie who’s probably 6 and was a stray Hemingway. Then her son named Izzy (for isn’t he cute) and her other son CB short for Corn Bread. They’re about 2 years old. We were never cat people but apparently are now.
Love ya girl,

Oh yes, Sweep Tight is not going anywhere. This is just in addition. Wow, that’s a lot of pets – I love it!! Love their names, too! We would have cats if I wasn’t allergic. They are characters, too! xoxo
Oh my goodness, he has you wrapped, wrapped, wrapped! Love all the nickname variations!! I do that, but I do it with people. lol
He so does! That’s funny… I actually DON’T do that with people! Huh.
That’s such a cute nickname for him!
Oh we have quite a few pets. 3 cats – Jasmine (aka Jazzy) Will (willy willy wonka and will i am) Nacho – which we just call Nacho Cat! Our dog Milo (Mai tai)
Love it!! Such cute names (and nicknames). 😉
He is too cute, Jennifer! We have a cat, Sassie, who was listed as being “weird.” I thought they were probably wrong, but that is the weirdest cat ever. Thanks for letting us meet Grumpy! P.S. Our cats are nicknamed Sassie Mae, Mitzie Lou and Okie Bob. 🙂
That is too funny that they actually put “weird”! I would have been super intrigued by that! LOL I like the ones with unique personalities!!
OMG.. isn’t he adorable… too cute… I know, don’t they just melt your heart? We got a rescue ShihtZu a few weeks back and he is adorable.. rescues are THE BEST… love this site…thanks for sharing your new addition
Yes, I totally agree!!! Thanks so much! 🙂
i’m so happy others have like 532 names for their pets. my husband says i’m not normal (which i’m not, but that is beside the point)
Aww, he is cute. I am a little attached to my little dog too!
hoow adorable is he! i want a pug now! way to cute 🙂
Aww, he doesn’t look grumpy at all. He looks like a sweetie! And this was over a year ago, so I bet he’s ruling the roost by now!
Thay is a fun little dog. I bet it is wild.
