In this week's episode, we're talking to Joanna about her Pug BronsonWe always love hearing the stories behind our guests' names, and Joanna didn't disappoint. Now you could be excused from assuming that Bronson got his name from the devilishly handsome actor "Charles Bronson" because Bronson is a handsome devil himself, but that’s not actually the case. How Jo came to deciding on Bronson's name is a little outside of the norm even for a Pug Pawrent.We're also very happy to know that Bronson is still with us after a trip to the beach that almost ended in disaster - I am amazed that Jo was able to drive and cry and talk to her sister who was holding Bronson all at the same time knowing that Bronson could be dying. I still get chills down my spine thinking about what happened and is definitely a tale worth hearing if for no other reason to know what you need to do should this ever happen to your Puggie. The good news is that Bronson is OK and as lively as ever!In this episode Joanna will share:04:30 - Bronson’s upcoming birthday05:17 - Teaching Bronson to jump for his treats06:25 - What inspired Jo to become a pug pawrent08:30 - How did Jo and Bronson found each other10:15 - How Bronson wakes Jo up12:43 - The interesting story behind Bronson’s name14:00 - Bronson’s paw-sonality17:09 - Bronson’s naughty traits20:22 - Bronson’s favourite activity21:10 - Bronson’s near-death experience25:06 - Bronson’s favourite outfitIf you'd like to watch the LIVE STREAM REPLAY of this episode, you can find it on our Blog https://pugparties.com/blogs/livin-the-pug-life-show/livin-the-pug-life-show-ep-32-with-bronsonIf you liked the episode, or if you think it'll be useful for someone else, please leave a review over at podcasher.comAnd if you've got any questions or want to tell us how much you loved the Episode then let me know over at our Facebook Group "Livin' the Pug Life" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinthepuglife/) where Crazy Pug Ladies meet to talk all things pug.NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE: In next weeks episode I am talking to you about introducing another Puggie to your fur-family after the loss of another Puggie; there are definitely some things to consider, including if you are ready or if your surviving Puggie is ready.
