About Bellaboo:
I could tell you BellaBoo’s Playground was a compilation of thoughts and experiences but in reality it was created from two anxiety filled people; specifically one who has a deep affection for pugs. Have you ever heard a pug snort? Either in anger or ecstasy? I have and it makes me laugh every time, which low and behold relaxes me. It was this thought of ‘how do I make people laugh’ where I kept coming back to pugs; more specifically to a family pet. Her name was Bella, although as the name of the game suggests, I always called her BellaBoo.
When Bella came into my life she was this little fawn pug; panting in nervousness and missing an eye. I was never told by the previous owner how she lost the eye, essentially she was brought to me (as I am a sucker for animals) to find her a new home. Her new home was with my family; my brother, mom and dad.
Now Bella was what you would call demanding; for such a small little thing if she had a ‘request’ it was usually answered and if not she would snort at you in defiance! Truthfully she would snort as she walked which would only make us laugh more.
Bella wasn’t the only pug in my life, I had another fawn pug named Odif (Fido backwards) and currently I have a black pug, Huckleberry Finn or ‘Finn’ for short. Each pug has their own uniqueness as well as similar genetic traits of their breed. In essence pugs are short, snorty (yes I made that word up), demanding and loving. This game and the many that will follow are based on this sweet breed, who with their scrunched up genetically modified faces, make me smile every day.
