Bill Wolford and his wife Hope met their pug Quasimojo about the time they were dating over 9 years ago. Bill was against getting the dog "because dogs are lot of responsibility," he said, but she chose the little black pug and that was that."He's a very special lovable dog," said Hope.

Quasi, as they call him, likes "all food" according to Bill and "if we had an unlimited supply of food he would probably explode." Even so, he's in fairly good shape for pug showing some signs of age with gray hair but is not overweight.

He's neutered too so his once aggressive tendencies have been quelled and fortunately "He does not hump people's legs," said Bill. He can roll over and play dead, dance and shake, fetch treats and can fit a tennis ball in his mouth. He's also very good at keeping their young daughter occupied and "likes to sleep and cuddle with us if we let him."

Remarkably enough Quasimojo was born in corn country Harland, Iowa about 30 miles from where Bill grew up...and he DOES like corn. "If I give him corn on the cob he will eat the whole thing, including the cob," Bill remarked.

Even though he's neutered, and snores very loudly he has managed to snag a girlfriend. She's Pekingnese and wouldn't you know it? Her name is Sugar.
