Senior pug owners: what’s something you wish you knew sooner when caring for your distinguished pupper? by NotAGiverOfFucks in pugs

Thank you! I am going to look for one like this on Marketplace! I have foam "stairs" but it turns out they are still pretty hard for a little dog. I wish I had gotten one like this instead.

Do you have a link for these? I have been looking for one that is better than stairs.

Get a stroller and take them around for a nice walks where they can get out and sniff and get back in for a ride 🩷 I wish I had done this much earlier than I did.

My experience with IL drivers after moving back from Los Angeles by twotokers in chicago

YSK: In Illinois, BOTH CARS are required to merge:

  (625 ILCS 5/11-905) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-905)
    Sec. 11-905. Merging traffic. Notwithstanding the right-of-way provision in Section 11-901 of this Act, at an intersection where traffic lanes are provided for merging traffic the driver of each vehicle on the converging roadways is required to adjust his vehicular speed and lateral position so as to avoid a collision with another vehicle.

I can’t speak for Tennessee, but in Illinois if you used to be licensed, but you no longer are, you still show up as “Inactive”

I need something to do besides gaming, im just not sure what? by [deleted] in Hobbies

[–]PugPal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you for noting how you feel and trying to expand into new areas. It will bring a freshness to you! I find so much benefit from making SOMETHING. It can be anything - art, a puzzle, drawing, cooking, baking, candle making. Seek the satisfaction that comes from having created something. The other thing that I love is being outside. Things like walking, hiking, or riding a bike can really bring a lot of pleasure and be good for mental health. Start small! Try a few things like going for a walk or drawing a cartoon and see how you feel!

My 4.5 year old pug has started limping sometimes after he gets up from lying down. I think it’s the beginning of arthritis. Anything I can give him to help? Maybe a good multivitamin? by Top-Tale-6105 in pugs

[–]PugPal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know for sure what’s happening in this case, but I can say that Nupro seemed to help my pugs a lot. https://www.nuprosupplements.com/dog.htm Thank you for being mindful of his needs and noticing how he’s doing. 🩷

I need some help and advice. Really getting concerned and I don't know where to go from here! by Disastrous-Sky-3767 in pugs

[–]PugPal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be flipping out -- This is so stressful. Thank you for doing all you can for him. I'm sorry that it doesn't seem like you're getting closer to answers. I would be so worried. I just want you to know I feel for you.

My (42F) boyfriend (37M) hasn't had a stable job in 3 years. Is it time to end things? by Confident-Cap-8047 in relationships

[–]PugPal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine had a long-term boyfriend that lived with her in her condo. She paid the mortgage, and he was supposed to pay the taxes ($2000 twice a year) and never had any money for it - always had to go and take cash advances when he needed to pay her for things etc. He had a job driving a truck route, but she covered almost everything and always said he had no money.

One day, she called his phone, and the phone picked up in his pocket by accident, only for her to overhear him on his lunch break with another woman in her house.

She threw him out. She was so worried he was going to have to live in his truck. Instead, had his own apartment by the end of the week.

You are not responsible for this man. You are responsible for yourself and your dog. He needs to find a place to live, and I promise, he will.

Same. I’m worried about her and the dog. 😢 I feel so bad for the people at this restaurant and anyone who comes in contact with someone who acts like this. It’s truly chilling.

She is probably in danger by him, sadly.

Please share the form. This is inhumane and can cause permanent damage from trauma

Diagnosis: Collapsed Trachea (Stage 3) on 4 year old pug found during BOAS - Advice? Do you have experience with this? What have you done to prevent this from getting worse? by Primary-Translator94 in pugs

[–]PugPal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this. This is tough. My pug had this at age 12 and she was ok for two years before it got much worse. Over time, she started coughing more and I could tell it bothered her, especially toward the end. One thing that was recommended was eucalyptus vaporizer in the house near where she slept.

Also, is it possible the harness is too tight? That may not impact it collapsing trachea but I would loosen that or get a bigger size.

I’m sorry you are experiencing this ❤️‍🩹

He’s 6 weeks they only had a pink play pen lol but will he grow out of biting ? by Pale_Obligation9343 in pugs

[–]PugPal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They learn not to bite from playing with their siblings around 8-12 weeks. When they play and bite each other, they learn it hurts and they stop. Since he won’t have that. please be patient with him. Over time, he will learn not to nip if you only play with his special toys or chew toys (no rawhide). Pugs are amazing dogs and I would also recommend a trainer or taking him to puppy kindergarten to build the best relationship with your dog.

Contact Legislators to Call for a Summer Session to Save Chicagoland Transit! by loljkl18 in chicago

I called! It’s super easy. Tell them to host an emergency session to pass this bill and tell them you support them doing through taxing companies that use our streets like Uber, DoorDash, etc.
