New Friends, New Family
The Pug really isn’t a huge fan of puppies, which is hilarious to me, considering that she was one of the wilder little whippersnappers I have ever known.
I need to confess that Lola Pug and I had quite literally just deplaned from a long trip when I packed her up again and dragged her over to meet one of our newest extended family members. I really do think that her behaviour was exemplary, especially considering that she was jet-lagged and hungry.
That being said, I would like to introduce you to Lola’s newest admirer and (future) BFF… 10-week old Bosco the Brussels Griffon.
Bosco really was VERY smitten with our Lola Pug…
…he followed her everywhere… did everything she did…
…she even acknowledged him in a non-snarly way at least once during the visit….
I think that Lola Pug was a little overwhelmed by the attention. And I don’t think she minded in the least bit, which was *shocking* to me.
And so – a great love is (maybe) born.
More formal introductions to follow, of course. Bosco’s little sister, you see, is also in the house, and we cannot WAIT to have you meet the two of them.

Comedy, Drama or PUG?
When I told the pug that video rental stores were a dying breed, she became rather distressed…
Where is she going to snuffle up popcorn motes NOW???

Pug Meetup!
The Pug and I are lucky in that the cities we travel to most often have good pug populations, so we get a lot of variety in both our socialising and our scenery.
Every so often, we’re lucky enough to be in town for the more formal pug play dates. There’s nothing quite so wonderful (or hilarious) as seeing a bunch of pugs running around and playing together.
Lola doesn’t exactly approach these events with as much enthusiasm as I do.
I don’t think Lola even identifies herself as being “pug”.
Lola’s life is, I believe, *very* dramatic in her own mind…

Howdy, Neighbour!
I’ve been a bit behind on my posts recently. I’ll blame it on spring cleaning…spring fever…spring patio season….
Speaking of spring … Lola Pug suddenly seems to have a whole bunch of new friends in the ‘hood, and ALL of them are PUPPIES!!!
First to the gate is BOSS! Our newest, sweet as pie, wouldn’t hurt a fly (but, wait – can he still eat them?) Boxer pup neighbour.
Boss met Misty when he first came home, and he immediately fell in love. She didn’t seem to mind him, either.
And where was Lola in all of this puppy love?
Right where you think she’d be, of course…
…at a safe distance.
(thanks to Boss’s Mum, Jen, for the photo of Lola and Boss. For more Boss – and more Bullies, in general – visit Jen online here!)

Rain, Rain, Go Away….
Rainly days can be kinda dreamy if you’re in the right headspace, but The Pug doesn’t like getting wet for ANY reason, so they’re kind of a drag for her – especially when she’s feeling all beansie and wants to get out and sniff things.
Like her mama, Lola Pug is not so good at hiding her true feelings.
But with a face like that? She’ll get ALL the sympathy she could ever want, and then some.
The Sunshine will come again, little love.

Arrrr, Puggie Wants a Movie
I started to come out of a seemingly endless viral funk a couple of days ago, and finally had enough energy to sit up for long enough to watch a favourite film.
Movies are always a welcome treat for The Pug, and I rather fear that over the years, I have turned her into a couch pugtato. She really has become quite the tv junkie.
The Pug assumed her comfortable (and Mama-protected) parrot position to watch the baddies and the goodies duke it out on the screen…
I have often wondered where she learned her ninja-like moves.
It all makes sense now.
No, sweetie. I will not start calling you Neo.
Time for your beauty sleep, little one.

The Land Manatee
To say that Misty is an easy house guest is an understatement.
Now, Misty isn’t too well versed in the ways of small dogs, which means that Lola Pug has had to learn to stay out of the “Wag Zone” in order to keep her face in one piece – and my floor duster basically self-destructed when I tried to clean up the perpetual web of Golden Retriever hair – but those are pretty small adjustments for us to make, really.
Not always the most active dog, Misty likes to spend her days doing what older Goldens do best…
…napping on floors…
…napping while getting the Evil Pug Eye…
…napping on beds….
(The Pug got up to have a drink of water, so Misty made her move. I don’t even know how she got onto the bed – it’s as if she simply levitated onto it in her sleep, which actually wouldn’t surprise me.)
Hey. I don’t call her the Land Manatee for nothing.
Food, water, walks and lots of love.
Life sure is Golden, eh?

It Takes Two, Baby….
On the rare occasion, I am able to ignore the pug’s pleas for attention when I am working.
Knowing that she’s well fed, watered, walked and loved makes me able to better focus on my work during the daytime.
But it’s no fair when I get ganged up on.
Game over, human.
