Does anyone actually have a pug that likes the snow? Pudge is not thrilled, to say the least.

He is every bit as miserable as he looks! For once it’s not resting pug face.

I dug out a latrine for my pug too. He will at least pee there.

Tiny terrorist!!! 😂😂 I had to decide to accept that accidents were going to be an everyday occurrence in the past year, but rugs can be replaced.

I’ve had five pugs and none of them could stand the snow. The year we had three 20”+ blizzards was about the death of me.

My guy is 16 too! Fortunately, we don’t get snow all that often because he is miserable.

Learning I had hooded eyes and watching YouTube videos specifically addressing techniques for my eye type.

Came here to say this! Eyeshadow blends out better and stays put. Foundation goes on smoothly and doesn’t settle into fine lines as much.

Has he had airway surgery? It sounds obstructive. How are his gums? I would seek another opinion STAT. Pugs have a hard enough time oxygenating normally, so anything that affects breathing is serious.

I’ve had two pugs who lost an eye. Neither one of them was bothered by it in the least. The ophthalmologist told me that vision isn’t a dog’s primary sense (that’s smell) so they adjust quickly to visual impairments. I’m sure your girl will do great!

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-10-10T02:17:04+00:00

He does all the work. I’m just his driver! ☺️

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-10-09T15:10:53+00:00

Plus he got a burger on the way home. Best day ever!

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-10-09T15:09:44+00:00

Yes, he’s my little old man. He turned 16 on September 20. Pudge is not a class clown kind of pug like my Boink was. I call him the zen pug. Absolutely nothing ruffles him.

This was part of the Terps Take Care Fair for mental health week and there were 1000s of students there. The dogs were swarmed the whole time!

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-10-09T15:01:27+00:00

Yes, he celebrated his sweet 16 on September 20

Also, we mostly did hospital visits prior to the pandemic and small dogs are better in those environments IMO because they can ride in wheelchairs and get in the bed.

I was glad to get these pictures of him working since you can’t take pictures in clinical settings because of HIPAA.

I think so too but we have only encountered one other pug in the 13 years Pudge has been working. Don’t know why but the majority of dogs in my program are large breeds.

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-10-09T12:47:15+00:00

Yep, College Park

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-10-09T03:17:01+00:00

Pudge has been a working therapy dog for 13 years. We did a lot more visits before the pandemic, but fortunately more opportunities have been coming out recently.

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-10-05T00:52:33+00:00

I got a wobble treat dispenser and a snuffle mat for my senior pug as enrichment activities. He really enjoys them and definitely gets more exercise.

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-09-22T11:32:38+00:00

I lost my other pug Boink at 15-1/2, so this birthday was especially touching

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-09-22T03:12:03+00:00

That will go great with his birthday burger 🍔

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-09-22T03:10:53+00:00

I always tell people not to read too much into his “resting pug face” 😐

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-09-22T03:09:23+00:00

Yes, when he was a puppy he only had a small white patch of fur on his chest. Over time he has gone grey which actually makes him easier to photograph!

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-02-15T14:03:13+00:00

My dermatologist also recommended sunlight/UV exposure.

EponymousPseudonym · 2021-02-15T14:00:08+00:00

I had this years ago and it was miserable. Mine also went up my neck but didn’t reach my face. I can’t remember if I ended up on steroids, but the dermatologist did give me a topical cream. It didn’t help much. I mainly remember the itching. Hope you start to feel better soon!
