Pugs are now out and well. The vet says they were very lucky and friend still very shaken. She did, however, ask me to say an enormous thank you to the people who posted advice and help particularly as she isn't on this board!
Oooh, i must have missed this! Glad they are ok! Pugs are like stomachs on legs, they will eat (or steal!!) anything they can reach, they're a nightmare...
