I do not hug my Pug every day. He just doesn't deserve it. I hug him about every hour (not by the minute, just a guess). He is my child that didn't move away. When I get down on the floor, he knows it's "snuggle time" He gets lots of big hugs. But he thinks kisses are disgusting. I think he is the only germaphobic pug there is. He rolls over on his side, so he can get a tummy rub, a back rub and his ears scratched all at the same time ! Clever, isn't he?
Pugs are awesome. A dod is a dog, but a Pug fits into thier own uniquely wonderful catagory.
I LOVE PUGGIES
I would enjoy hearing from other pug lovers; Pug Moms; Pug Dads; Pug Grandpas & grandmas.

Loyalty
You can't buy loyalty,they say,
I bought it though,the other day
You cant buy friendships,tried and true
Well just the same,I bought that too.
I made my bid and on spot
Brought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness,so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small
I bought a single trusting heart,
that gave devation from the start
If you think these things are
NOT FOR SALE
Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a wagging tail

"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog."

If A Dog Were Your Teacher
You would learn stuff like.....
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it's in your best interest - practice obedience...
Take naps and stretch before rising.
Thrive on attention and let others touch you.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
On hot days, lay down and rest.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout...
Run right back and make friends.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
When someone is having a bad day, just jump in their arms and bring a happy smile.

Does anyone know of anyone trying to get rid of a pug? My hubby and I are looking to adopt one if we can get any leads. Kindle G. is trying to help us through puppy passions. If anyone can help, please get in touch with her. Thank you
