She sounds a lot like mine. Ours was dumped by someone in an uninhabited area outside town
She is terrified of storms and loud noises but man does she love human cuddles. Last year DH and I hosted his family for Thanksgiving, and after the meal she went from person to person and nudged their hands until until they gave in and petted her. She didn’t stop insisting until everyone left several hours later 
I have nothing against them AT ALL, but after working in a vet clinic, there is a couple breeds I will never personally own.. pugs being one of them. (sorry Wasabi, you’re still cute)
Our future dogs will be from shelters.. we’re not as interested in breeds as we used to be.
I’ve teared up over my 12 year old golden too, trust me.
The little tongue poking outI've got 3 pugs & I love them, but I acknowledge it takes a special kind of insanity to be a pug owner. If I had to do it all over again, I would!
Here's Meatball (aka; Meaty.) He's the love of my life & my unwavering, constant shadow.

I wondered why you were still awake!
What a handsome boy! One of my favorite things about pugs is their snores. I can't stand the sound coming from a human, but have no problem sleeping with a pug snoring two inches from my head. I don't know why. I also collect anything pug.I've got 3 pugs & I love them, but I acknowledge it takes a special kind of insanity to be a pug owner. If I had to do it all over again, I would!

I just woke up and had to track them real quick....I was glad to see something other than "in transit" still.
I'm not kidding.... I have a 2 humans, 3 pugs & a cat in my bed every night & 4 of those 6 snore. I don't know how the cat can stand it.
Not the cone of shame!
