Pug Falling Asleep
Pugs always love to be part of the action, but sometimes they just can’t manage to stay awake for it all.
To see more videos of animals falling asleep check out Buzzfeed’s roundup.

Pug Ingenuity
This video of a sly pug getting some extra treats for himself has been around for awhile, but it still makes me laugh every time I see it. So what better way to start off the work week than with a smile from some pug antics. Enjoy!

Pug Tattoo Tributes - Reader Picture
Yesterday, I asked if anyone had any tattoos inspired by their pug and reader Danine did not disappoint. She sent in a picture of a tattoo inspired by her pug Benee.
Any other pug lovers out there sporting ink in honor of their pug?

Pug Puppies Playing
It’s Wednesday and if the work week is already getting to you here is a little something to help you make it through hump day. A video of two 4 week old puppies playing. They are so young and utterly adorable.
My favorite part is when they both simultaneously fall over.

Pug Tattoo Tributes
The April Issue of Bark magazine features an article titled Indelible Dogs by Lisa Wogan. In the article, Wogan shows some tattoos that were inspired by lovable canine companions. Not surprisingly, some of those tatts were inspired by pugs. You can see two incredible pug tattoos on the Bark blog.
Do you have any ink honoring your pug?

Baxter - The Rocky Mountain Pug
Many people have the impression that pugs are not very active dogs. While this may be true of some pugs, it is certainly not true for them all. Check out Baxter, a pug that loves to go for hikes in the Rocky Mountains with his owner Allen Tiefenbach.
It is stories like these that prove that the pug is truly multum in parvo - a lot in a little.

Primetime Live: What People Are Talking About: Pugs
I came across this clip on YouTube from PrimeTime Live I believe from the Fall of 2007. I think the clip does a pretty good job of showing the spirit of the pug lover. My favorite line for the video is from Margo Kauffman,
“The pug owner has a predisposition for lunacy, otherwise you would not become enslaved to a dog that does nothing for you.”

Eco Dog
Eco Dog is an easy to read book that focuses on healthy and natural living in all aspects of your dog’s life. I love how the book is very informative and yet so easy to read. Plus, each section of the book has little projects that you can tackle at home. From nutritious recipes for food and treats to ideas for making dog toys. There are several projects that I have bookmarked that I can’t wait to start. When I do them I will be sure to write about them on the Pug Blog.
If you are interested in learning more about a holistic approach to caring for your pug, Eco Dog is a great starting point. It is informative without being overwhelming and gives you a great base for further research.

Pugs & Mastiffs
A story about Lurch, a 200 pound Mastiff, that is going to be honored for donating blood 20 times caught my eye today. The first reason it stuck out to me is because you don’t hear much about canine blood donation. By donating blood about once every 4 weeks, Lurch has helped dozens of dogs. But what really stuck with me is Lurch’s other family members - another Mastiff, 4 pugs and 7 kitties. Lurch and Lucas, the other Mastiff of the house, team up and chow down about 200 pounds of kibble each month.
Lurch’s owner had this to say about Mastiffs, “Mastiffs are just like 200-pound pugs. They’re just as friendly and just as goofy except they have a couple more zeros at the end of the weight.”
I buy that. I know my gang sure does have the appetite of a Mastiff.
