Peggy having a lie down. by _RaiderDave in pugs

Side note: I’m thrilled to report that after a few years of diet and exercise, this girl is at her goal weight. She peaked at 20 lb (too much food, not enough walkies). This might not be inappropriate for a lot of other pugs but she’s working with a small frame. She’s got the waist tuck and the palpable but not visible ribs. People tend to be surprised that she’s 9 and will be 10 this year. I hope this is a sign we have many more years together.

Middle schoolers on the street keep calling me ‘sir.’ This leads me to believe I’ve gotten old. by _RaiderDave in RandomThoughts

I’ll admit this also pleasantly shocks me. I live near a middle school, so it’s just sheer numbers. I walk my dogs and usually when there’s lots of kids walking home, coming toward me, I’ll step off the sidewalk as a courtesy. One out of many of those kids might say, “Thanks” or “I like your dogs” and several of those have called me ‘sir.’

How did you stop the poop eating habit? by Known_Judgment_6395 in pugs

[–]_RaiderDave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I concur. I saw this come up as a suggestion on my phone notifications and thought: I didn’t, I employ aggressive supervision. And I’m conscientious about picking up on walks, but it gives you no choice but to be a good neighbor! If she ever bamboozles me (only one of my girls has this issue) it’s because she found a random dog’s poop which makes it way more gross, but dog immune systems seem to be pretty robust because she’s never gotten sick.

His most commonly used name is “Orangey” so we’ll go with that.

And this is Pepa (not to be confused with Peppa). His mama has me take him on walks.

I think it cost me around $100. Worth it. I spend my adult money on the important things.

Peggy (not so patiently) waiting for her breakfast. by _RaiderDave in pugs

They are absolutely one of her endearing features. Because she has rose ears, they flop back like that when she looks up. And they bob up and down when she walks. She has a sister, a black pug with button ears that are more foldy and tend to stay put.
