Sluggo's in a Heap of Trouble

Hey everybody! I am sure most of you know Sluggo to be a sweet, loving, sensitive, if somewhat neurotic boy.

 You may also be familiar with his close personal commitment to his lambies. Not only does he consider them part of his pack, but if you click here, you can be reminded that he runs them like a company. There's a whole hierarchy and everything, and he isn't afraid to fire someone

On most days this is a true representation of his character. But, you might be surprised to find out that Sluggo has a violent side.

That's right, sweet little innocent Sluggo has been getting all gangsta with me and Brigitte over lambs, and who's running this house. He is now facing the consequences of his actions.

You see, there has been a work stoppage here at lambie headquarters.

Yup, that's right, the local 360 refuses to return to the bargaining table until Sluggo can guarantee there will be no more violence in the work place.

Sluggo has been trying to get some scabs to cross the picket line, but that ain't gonna happen around here. In fact, word has gotten all the way to the North Pole of the goings on here at corporate headquarters and Sluggo received a message from the man in re!

Let me tell you something, the boy is shaking in his fur at the thought of what may happen if he doesn't straighten up. He's only got 24 days to prove he has learned from his mistakes. Can he do it? Only time will tell.

What to do, What to do....

I think I have one of those ethical dilemmas on my paws friends.

You see, someone came into Mom's work (The Red Cross) and donated a doghouse. they wanted it to go towards rescue of canine victims of the Japanese Tsunami.

Apparently, the folks there could not coordinate this, but the nice lady left it there anyway as a donation.

Mom noticed it right away, especially since it had the tag on it with none other than...

a pug.

Mom wanted it, but couldn't justify spending the 100.00 that the director of fund-raising was asking for it, just before vacation especially. Plus, we are not doghousey dogs. We have one in the yard, but that's for decoration. We would never actually enter it.
But, it is such a cut little log cabin house, that it could actually perhaps be used indoors, or something.
Either way, not practical, we didn't REALLY need it, and Mom figured we wouldn't use it anyway.
She thought to herself, if she did get it, it could potentially raise some green papers in an auction for rescue. There are a few events coming up soon.
But that was that.

So there it sat. Mocking her, every time she went to work.
Here is a picture of it in the lobby, with that stupid Puffy guy.

Then we returned from vacation, and Mom returned to work. It was still sitting there, in the lobby, alone, dog-less.

The class she started teaching before vacation was going to their clinical.

(Mom teaches a Nursing Assistant class for the Red Cross)

Clinical is when they go to take care of real patients.

Well, on graduation day, the class presented Mom with a thank you card. They also told her that the doghouse was hers!

They had all chipped in and bought it as a gift to Mom for us pugs!

Needless to say, we were all touched by this act.

Herein lies the dilemma...

 I like it.

At first, when Mom brought it home, I was kinda eh, about it. Then Britte checked it out and said it was kinda cozy. Especially after Mom placed a nice bed in there.

Mom tried to upload a video of us checking it out, but YouTube said it would take 133 minutes, and then failed. Ugh, technology.

So anyway, here is my question...
Since it was a gift to Mom, would it be wrong to donate the doghouse. Or, since donating the doghouse had been an initial plan of what she may do with it if she got it, would it be wrong to keep it?
Please help! I value your opinions.

It does look good on us.
