When you bloom contains my ‘Word Garden’ Blog on this site. The Word Garden also includes short stories highlighting select adventure stories of ‘The Pug’.

Pug was the beloved pet of our family in Arizona, officially named Lady Ellen Smith. Soon after joining our family, she obtained a few nicknames! They are Pugalicious, Puggy-D (short for Puggy-Delicious), Puginator, and, most used, ‘The Pug’. We were blessed to be part of Pug’s story until February 2018. She is spoken of frequently and her stories live on!
