Cleopatra Pug
In 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.

While not Pug specific,
When Pam was in Europe last week, she took this photo of
I 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.
Sometimes 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.
Cap'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.
A favorite post from Bringing up Shelby, the official site about raising Shelby the pug puppy. Shelby yawns when scratched.
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.
