Paws for Thought

HOOKED on PUGGIES ? or need a Pug like a hole in the head ?
Clarify your thoughts here....
Workaholics/ social butterflies .....and pugs are a disastrous combination.
Pugs need constant companionship - twenty four hours a day ! . Once you have properly bonded you'll want theirs quite a lot too! They get depressed when you leave them, but you can get two pugs at once to keep each other company, however beware - two pugs make three times as much mess as one !

You are beautifully dressed and immaculately coiffured.....Forget it ! Pugs are renowned for their amazing capacity to shed their hair on everything, especially your best little black dress. Their toenails are great for clawing through your last pair of tights and if you try and thwart their attempts to actually sit on your new hair creation they'll enjoy raking their toes through it instead. They will share with you a fondness for nice hair brushes and face creams though - but they prefer to eat them.

You like to sleep alone or entwined with a lover of the human kind - unless you are a severe master or mistress in the bedroom you'll find your pug in the bed with you too.
They appreciate a nice plump pillow and love licking your ear affectionately in the middle of the night. Neck sucking is another favourite - this could disconcert a new sleeping partner, who might think you have a severe sinus problem, not to mention halitosis.

A growing bank balance gives you a thrill - The bills from your friendly local vet, if you and pugs are unlucky, will send shivers of a different sort down your spine.

You are STILL reading .... & happy ?
Good, you've passed the first test !
Now to check if you are a real "Puggie Person" read on.....

You loved your teddy & carried it everywhere as a child.
You love to lie on your couch - with an occasional burst of frantic activity, mostly in the direction of the kitchen
You get cold feet in bed, - Pugs make fantastic little bed warmers- even on the hottest nights of the year
You are trying to diet - those beseeching little faces will ensure you pass on a lot of food in their direction.

You are an exhibitionist - and love to have something staring at your every move in the bathroom.
You love to shop - (carrying pug with you in a gladstone bag , of course ) -
Pugs are great consumers of stuffed toys, noisy toys, and dainty gourmet treats like pigs ears. They love presents wrapped in crinkly paper ..and of course there is those cute little doggie outfits to die for... that cost more than your nicest jeans

You are lonely and hate the silence- never again . Your little 24/7 mate keeps up a constant background cacophany of snorts, sneezes, snuffles and occasionally (with a few of the hyper- girlie pugs)....screams !
You love to party with other strange people - Pug parties are very popular !
You enjoy wrestling with the occasional pitbull, stag or wild boar - that your puggie mistakenly thought they could take on in a fight ! Pugs will, however, be very supportive with helpful, provocative barking.

You like the minimalist look in furniture - this is great. It will leave lots of room for pug "daytonas" - an amazing puggy circular run done at very high speeds.
It will also make room for the numerous extra pugs you will aquire - five or more pugs are not uncommon - they are addictive !

You enjoy hours of fun playing tug of war with an amazingly sucked and stinky soft toy.
You gave up on housework years ago - and need something to lick the kitchen floor clean.
You like meeting new people, - and enjoy people pointing, staring and laughing -
pugs will attract this attention for you, they are great for 'ice breaking' and may be cool for matchmaking too !

TO SUM UP - if you would enjoy unconditional love with a small fat smelly friend who sits on your head - you will be the happiest pug owner ever !
