I came across an interesting article in USA Today about how the most popular names for dogs are names that have more of a human ring to it. Using their list of insured pets, Veterinary Pet Insurance came up with the top ten names of male and female dogs. The top three names for each gender are listed below.
Male
Max
Buddy
Rocky
Female
Bella
Molly
Lucy
So why have dog lovers ditched the traditional names like Spot and Buddy. Many believe it has to do with pets being more and more apart of our family. I tend to agree. Afterall, my boys are named Benjamin and Henry. And if we got to name Luna she would have had a more traditional human name too.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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.
