Does anyone have a pug? Our pug is named Blossom and she is a pistol.:love_heart:
 

Hi Roxy..my mom had a pug I adored. She made me laugh with her winning ways..I can understand why Blossom is your best friend. :)
 
She is my bestie, Karen99. Their antics are quite impressive. lol
 

One of my sisters had two pugs; one has taken the pug express to doggy heaven but the other one is going strong. They were both clowns.....you never knew what they'd come up with. Pugs are just natural entertainers and the best snugglers you'd ever want. Of course, they were bred as "comfort dogs"; one of their duties was to settle down on the "bound" feet of Chinese ladies to keep their feet warm. Bound feet had poor circulation. They were also "sleeve dogs" - the ladies would carry them in their sleeves. Of course, they must have been a lot smaller breed in those days; if I wanted to carry her pug in my sleeve, he'd have to be duct taped to my arm and I'd need a very heavy-duty sling.

Speaking of fat pugs, I once ran into a couple who were walking five extremely obese pugs around the neighborhood. One had flatly refused to walk another foot and was being carried. They explained that they were pug rescue people and that the dogs had been given up by an elderly lady who had to go into a nursing home. She had overfed them severely and they were being "slimmed down" before being put up for adoption (the average pug will eat until he explodes, unfortunately). They said the dogs were very unhappy about the situation and begged constantly. They didn't care a hoot for walking, either, except to the food bowl. I know how they feel.....
 
My neighbor adopted a boy from a Pug rescue, and he was the sweetest little dog ever, his name was Phil.
 
Best buddy has a Puggle. She is adorable even when she's being bratty. But I have never seen such a food focused dog. On walks she can pinpoint which garbage bags have scraps and zero in. I saw her try to fight a little girl over a popsicle stick. She must be fifteen pounds overweight...in a small dog that's not good. Her cuteness lets her get away with a lot;)
 
She is a rescue. When we first got her I didn't know what to do about her food issues. Now I know to walk, walk, walk her. It melts the weight off of her and mine too. Their personalities can keep you entertained for hours. And they are very loyal. Always better to have two, but we have a small house, so she is glued to my hip. lol I do have a stroller because when they are done walking, you have to carry. Tank you for your responses.
