Pugs

When we lost our dog Peaches last fall, eventually the conversation turned to wondering what kind of dog we would like to get next.

My choice is a Pug.

When I revealed my choice, I had mixed reviews.  It seems like people either love them, or not too fond of them.

I often get asked "Why a Pug?"

I have Frank to blame.

Frank, the pug from the Men in Black movies.  For some reason, this character made me want to have a Pug.

If you aren't familiar with Frank, or would like to see him again....watch this video.

As I have thought about getting another dog, I realize that I have never had a dog to call my own.  Peaches was really Paul's dog.  Sadie, one of our Pomeranians is Molly's dog, and Juliet, our other Pom is Zoe's dog....even though I feed them, give them water, and make sure they are happy and healthy.  They are not "my dogs".

I want a dog that is "my dog".  And I think this adorable Pug is just the breed to call my own.

I found a video on Pugs that tell all about them.  Basically, if I keep their wrinkles clean and don't choke them so their eyes pop out, I'm good to go!!

It is funny.  It is as if a campaign has started on my Facebook account.  Friends now let me know if there is a Pug out there in need of adoption.

If I do get one this year, it won't be until closer to summer, so I have more time to train it.

And I probably will be looking for a female, not a male dog like Frank.

And I bet this Pug will win over all you Pug naysayers!! 

That is my goal!
