The Biscuit is proud to present today’s Dog of the Blog Award to…
Maddi Young

Pug-a-licious!
1. Names, Ages, Breed: My name is Maddi Young and I am 4 ½ years old. I am very proud to be a Pug!
2. Parent (s)/favorite persons: My favorite human is my mom, Jen Young. But I also really REALLY love my Dad, my Nanie & my uncle Chris. They are the best!!!!
3. How you met: I met my human mom when she came to adopt a female pug in New Hampshire. I saw her and knew we were meant to be together! She picked me up and I cuddled into her neck and took a nap.
4. Favorite Animals: My first and foremost favorite animal is my stuffed green night-night teddy. I’ve had teddy since I was a year old and sleep with him every night. When it’s time to go to bed, I grab teddy off the bed and bring it out to mom so she knows its time for her to go to bed too.
Then there’s my younger sister Alamo, she’s a White Shepard. She’s my barking buddy-mom and dad are not impressed. Considering the size difference, we get along quite well. She protects me when mom & dad are at work. Her bark is scary!!
Then there’s cousin Jake (Uncle Chris’s dog), he’s a block head of a black lab. He’s almost 10 years old and he STILL takes my toys. He acts like a puppy.
I also love Milo, my nanie’s cat. He’s a Persian. I’ve known Milo the longest. He’s only 1 month older then me and we lived together for awhile. Mom says we have the same nose. How can that be? Milo’s a cat!?!
I also get to see Fenway, my mom’s friends’ dog. Fenway* is a black lab mix. She’s visited Alamo & I a couple of times at camp-boy, she really loves the water!!!
5. What do you eat and what are your favorite snacks: I am now eating Honest Kitchen with either raw pumpkin or cooked carrots. Once in awhile some yogurt is a good change. I used to eat Canadae and still do once in awhile mixed in with my new food. Mom’s branching out and finding healthier food choices for me. She says I need to lose a few pounds. Dad & Uncle Don feed me raw moose & deer meat during hunting season when I visit them in the shop. This is my favorite, plus it makes my coat shine. I wish I could stay out there with them all day, but mom won’t let me. I will eat just about any treat that’s in front of me…. except low calorie treats. I quickly spit those out and patiently wait for another kind. Sometimes I’m waiting a few hours, but I eventually get what I want.
6. Favorite Activities: I love my walks, watching tv, belly rubs, cuddling with Mom on the couch, sunbathing and taking rides in the truck. I love sticking my head out the window on nice warm days and laying next to the pellet stove on cold winter days. I also love going to camp on the weekends. Visit’s to Nanie’s house is always a good treat!
7. Pet Peeves: Rain, ice cold weather, puddles, nail trims, doggy clothes, low calorie treats.
8. Special Tricks and Talents: Flying off the couch to get to the dogs and cats on tv before they disappear. Intentionally ignoring mom when I know what she wants me to do and I don’t want to do it. And, Hiding under the coffee table when I don’t want to go anywhere.
9. Who’s your vet? Any one of the great veterinarians at Pen Bay Vets
10. Where do you sleep? On the bed (and most of the time, under the covers) with mom and dad.

Maddi + NightNight Toy!
