Pugs in the news

  • Jessica Alba says that she, “didn’t look like a pug,” when she was born
  • Upset writes to an advice columnist about people who think her pug is fat
  • WKYT reports on the recovery of a Pug injured in a robbery attempt.
  • The Cincinnati Post reports on a resident with many animals, including a fawn Pug named Yoda.
  • The Pug Uglies, a street punk band release an album (not sure how you can be a tough street punk band and associate yourself with the adorable pug breed — I’d call them the Butt Uglies)
  • David Grimes reports on the Smell-o-Vision TV from Sony (we don’t need smell, we need spank-tro-vision!) and how it’d freak his pugs Satan I and Satan II out.
  • And friendly neighbors in Spokane help a man get his pug back.

Cleopatra Pug

Cleopatra PugIn today's photo, Cap’n normally enjoys dressup, but did not like our attempts to make her into Cleopatra Pug with a rubber snake. We eventually stopped, cause she’d just drop her head down and the snake would fall off.



MoPoo

GodSpelledBackwards While not Pug specific, Modern Pooch (MoPoo) rocks with their daily dog photos, including snapshots from the trailer for God Spelled Backwards. One shot includes a guy with 7, count 'em, 7 pugs!



Pugs on TV

The News Record reports on Bailey the Singing Pug. Cap'n doesn't sing (that we know of). She does watch TV though. If Cappy sees any dog on TV, she'll howl, launch at the TV, bark at it, behind it, and around it. She's just tall enough to hit the on/off switch and will turn the TV off, if we don't scold her to stop.

German PugWhen Pam was in Europe last week, she took this photo of Stefan Raab's talk show. The guest was a famous German Pug. Considering Cap'n's interest in TV and that she has her own pugcast, we're working on talk show gigs for her.

Pug Blog Pugcast

In the Pug Blog Pugcast Rock & Roll Edition, Cap’n barks, snorts, snots, and sniffs along to a hard rock guitar riff. Cap'n maybe the first pug, and possibly dog, with her own podcast and we're pleased to bring it to you. You can subscribe to the pugcast and get the latest audio from Cap'n.

Pug Blog Pugcast: Rock and Roll Edition

A Bone Jones

Bone ChewI realized last night that it'd been days since I'd seen Cap'n chewing on a bone. I asked her to find her boney and she gave me a puzzled look. Later, I noticed she was walking around the house looking frustrated and kept staring at me. Well, she'd forgotten where her bone was hidden and I needed to help her. So we checked a variety of hiding places and she was right there with me. Her head was next to mine, jostling for position, as we looked under the desk, chair, behind the TV, and then finally found a bone under the couch. She then proceeded to chew that bone all night, in a very determined manned. She'd been jonesing for that bone.

PugFavCon

In Safari, FireFox, and Opera browsers you should see the new PugFavCon in the address bar. In Internet Explorer, you'll see it once you make this page a favorite and we hope you do! Go PugFavCon!

An amazing judge of character

David Valdes reports on his family, mother, and how his Pekinese-Pug named Bailey is an amazing judge of character.

Oscar v. Roomba

Sent in by Scott Benish, check the video of Oscar the pug v. Roomba, the robot vacumn cleaner. LJC is correct, pugs shed excessively, but I doubt Cap’n would ever not bark at a Roomba. She currently barks at most anything that makes a noise, including the ice maker, piano, the cell phone, more.

Cheerio Treats

Sleepy ToysSometimes while Cappy Cap is sleeping, I sneak a cheerio under her nose. Then when she wakes up, she's like, "right on, a cheerio!" Note in the photo how she makes a bed out of her toys. Later, she'll chew and violently shake those toys she lovingly sleeps on.

Cappy no like Piano

Cappy LapCap'n barks whenever she hears a note from the piano downstairs and when playing with Garage Band on the iMac. She may think it's a doorbell chime, we're not sure, but she definitely doesn't like the piano. She's much more happy when seated on your lap, as seen in today's photo, without alarming piano sounds.

Yawning

Somehow it never fails, that if I scratch her on the side of the mouth, she yawns....

 ChinA favorite post from Bringing up Shelby, the official site about raising Shelby the pug puppy. Shelby yawns when scratched.

Cap'n will also yawn and smile, if her chin is rubbed in just the right way, as seen in the photo.

little red riding hood

My, what a cute face you have, puppy girl. Merry tries out the Red Plaid Hoodie from The Ritzy Rover. ;) I think this one was our favorite.


Cap'n would be way styling in that outfit.

Pug Launch

And there you have it. Pug Blog is launched. I'd been talking about this site for months and finally banged it out over the weekend. There's no shortage of pug sites, but few are blogs or dedicated to posts about daily living with a pug. Props to Bringing up Shelby and Merrylog for their blogs. Coming up: a brief history of Cap'n, pug resources, a pugcast and more.

Pink Tongue

Chris Brownrigg designed the banner graphic for Pug Blog and we dig it. I was talking with him yesterday about it and he noted that the pink in the banner was sampled from the Cap'n's tongue in the welcome to the pug blog post photo. Ha! Very nice.

A brief history of Captain

One day my mom and brother and I went to go and get a pug at this ladies house.  And we found a 10 month old pug named Ellie and instead of Ellie we named her Captain because in a few days she became the Captain of the house.  Now she is 2 and she always has to be with mommy or with daddy.  She also sleeps in my mom’s bed and on my mom’s pillow.  She loves peanut butter and carrots.  I love her and she loves me.  Ever since I got her I became in love with pugs.  I have a shirt and a cookie jar and a stuffed animal and Captain.   I even learned to draw a pug.

The End.

Cap'n doesn't like hail

Pug Hate Hail Big hail storm this week. Cap'n barks at hail, sniffs it, runs around in it, and then barks some more. If you look real close in the photo, you can see there's a piece of hail on her head.
