Pug of the Month
"Pele"



          Celestial Storybook Hoku-Pele, RN  
   
            

Date of birth: April 5, 2003
Owner: Susan Phillips and Danielle Campi
Breeder: Danielle Campi, Celestial Pugs
Sire: CH. Full Moon I'm Engaging ROM*
Dam: CH. Celestial Starvue Cassiopeia
Titles: Pele finished her Rally Novice (RN) title in two days, qualifying at the first three trials she entered (all-breed trials, at that!).  On the day she earned her title, she made up proud by placing 3rd with a score of 97 (out of a possible 100)!  She has two points toward her Championship (having gone Best of Winners her first weekend out) and we may yet be back in the conformation ring with her before we're done.   
Favorite food: STEAK, but hot dogs, liver, hard boiled eggs, or chicken will all do in a pinch.  
Favorite toy: Gumabone wishbone, plush "Celestial" star squeeky or any of her many Babble Balls (fortunately, her fascination with the "flatulence" babble ball has waned).
Likes: Pele loves her little Celestial "sister" Celestial Maui Rain ('Ulalena), enjoys going for morning walks especially on weekends (when we don't have to rush and can run on the big lawn at the school), bath time, cuddling on the sofa, having her ears and tummy rubbed, earning treats, running after 'Uli to get her toy back and most of all, seeing Susan come home from work.  
Dislikes: Having her nails ground, going to shows and BIG DOGS (she remembers being rushed by a big dog at a show soon after she started showing in conformation and has never forgotten!), the UPS man and (sometimes) her Pug Pal Morgan, who has been known to be a bit of a prima donna, on occasion.
Home companions:

Celestial Maui Rain ('Ulalena) and CH. Bayvue's Hot to Trot (Morgan), and her faithful retainer, Susan.

About the owner: Pele is co-owned by Danielle Campi, founder of Celestial Pugs, and Susan Phillips.  Pele enjoys the pug good life with Susan in San Jose, California, where she is widely admired by friends, neighbors, vets and dog trainers/handlers as the nicest, sweetest-tempered pug ever--and those eyes...large, black inky pools (sometimes ablaze with volcanic fire as you may expect from a pug named for a Hawaiian volcano goddess!).
