MacTavish is proud to announce that he has been referenced on Jaya's Blog! He wants everyone to know he'd be quite willing to take part in a beer tasting, but would prefer european beers. His recent research into his family history* has uncovered the interesting fact that one of his ancestors was a favorite of the Empress Josephine in France. He was the only pug (or only dog, for that matter,) ever known to have bitten Napoleon and lived to tell about it.


*from wikipedia: Trivia
Joséphine Bonaparte had a pug named Fortune, and he was used by Joséphine to send Napoleon secret messages. It is also said that on their wedding night Napoleon refused to allow Fortune to sleep with them in the bed, and Fortune then bit him. Joséphine said, "If the pug doesn't sleep in our bed, neither do I!" From then on, Napoleon shared his bed with Joséphine and her pug.
