Throwback Thursday: The Late, Great Mr. Chubbs

January 15, 2015 by WendyB

For  Throwback Thursday, here’s a May June 1996 photo of my first Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs, shortly after I brought him home from the pound and cut his long matted hair off. There was a cute dog under there!

I think Chubbs looks a little bewildered by the recent changes in his life, not to mention that carpet.

I had Mr. Chubbs until May 2006, when he had to be put down due to a variety of age-related ailments.  MrB and I made a donation to the ASPCA for a plaque in Chubbs’s memory, and when I went there to see the plaque a month later, I went home with Henry, my second Pekingese. I didn’t expect to get another dog that soon, but I can’t resist a flat-faced dog with a ton of health problems!

Click here for my old post explaining how Mr. Chubbs wound up walking down the aisle at my wedding in 2001.
