How to Live With a Pug and Love It!

One of the best quotes I have ever read about Pugs is so true! "Pugs are like potato chips- you can't have just one."

I don't actually conform to that rule because I do only have just one, but ever since I got her I've been thinking about getting the second one some day.

The first thing you learn about living with a Pug after getting one is to Adore being spit in the face on a regular basis. Getting right up in the face and snorting, spraying moisture, seems to be one of their favorite, endearing pastimes.

Another thing you will learn is to enjoy the sound of snoring when the Pug sleeps. Sometimes it is a soft, gentle, soothing sound that can lull you into slumber yourself. Other times it might be as loud as say, a jackhammer!

The most important thing you have to be prepared for when living with a Pug is laughter. Lots and lots of laughter. They are such clowns, always doing something comical, you just can't help yourself.

House training can and will be a challenge. It takes a lot of patience, diligence, and consistency to get a Pug housebroken. But even housebreaking is fun with a Pug. For one thing, you'll love being with her and watching her every move. Soon you will learn her "signals" that indicate potty time. And, when you take her out, she'll surely do something funny and entertaining so you'll just enjoy being with her.

Pugs aren't for everyone, but I have never met a Pug owner who wouldn't have another one or two or three.... If you don't love them at first sight, and how can you not, then they grow on you. So, go on, get a Pug or two, and LOVE it!
