I may have to admit that this is cuter than anything the pugs have ever done.

Other People's Posts Roundup

Remember in the old days when a blog was a weblog, a list of links to other things on the web? I swear that's how it used to work.

Do you need a dose of BABY LEMURS? Because I know I do.


This blog about a little walking tooth is the cutest thing I've ever seen that doesn't have animals in it.

A really good piece of advice, thanks again to Zoomar. And click around there for lots of wonderful weirdness.

Pug with Found Object, in memory of Roscoe

Pug with Found Object, in memory of Roscoe
Originally uploaded by wombatarama

Roscoe, the best pug on the internet, who I have mentioned before, passed away yesterday. He was fourteen and though I never met him, it was obvious that he led the best life a pug can live. In the last few years there was nothing that was a bigger bright spot in my day than seeing a new picture of Roscoe.

Sometimes I hate the internet. There are enough things to be sad about without having your heart broken over a dog you never met. I guess that it is always better to have loved and lost, etc., even if long-distance and virtually. But that doesn't make it any easier to see him go.

other people's pugs

These are not my pugs. This is a picture that was taken for a recent column of mine about pug rescue. Awwwwww.

More Internet Pug Fame

Here's Rose on Cute with Chris. The story was better the way I told it before he edited it, though.

I didn't tell him that soon after Rose and Lilly appeared on Pug-A-Day, the site went dead, apparently due to insurmountable technical problems. For his sake I hope that that was the effect of Lilly's evil powers.

Sunny spot

It's been too long since we had a Japanese pug with its chin down.

You might think she is sad because she has to wear a silly outfit, but the text says something about how it's been raining every day.

Maru, from my second favorite Japanese dog blog.

Raised by Smush-faced Wolves

from Urbanpug.com:



The baby may think she's a pug, but pugs think they are human, so it all works out in the end.

Sigh.

It's hard to imagine what I could blog about that would be worthy of pushing that last post off the top of the page. But I suppose I will just have to post this lovely picture of Bamu and try to move on with my life.

Yearning

Bamu with a lovely Japanese sweet potato. Why don't my pug pictures look this good, or those sweet potatoes when I cook them?

Belly!

I got nothin' half as good as this.

yes sir yes sir three chins down

Bamu and Kinako and friend.

No prejudice here

I've never posted a black pug with its chin down. Black pugs are much rarer. We keep meeting new pugs in the neighborhood lately, but never a black one. But Flickr has everything anyone could need, so here we are.

All over the world

Japanese pug Bamu with chin down.

Pug internet fame

This blog post has a picture of Lilly that must have been taken by someone who was standing right behind us when we were taking the picture below.

(Note to local photographers: pug pictures are better without accompanying humans. Lilly and Rose were on another local blog a while ago, but I didn't link to it because unfortunately I was in the picture too.)

Oh, so THAT'S why they always have their chins down!

Pugs with their chins down with and without babies

Time for some links to other people's pugs:

Pug with its chin down - Montreal.

It's that irresistable Gizmo and baby again.

Doesn't matter how uncomfortable it looks, gotta have that chin down on something.

Tragedy

A dog is eating, and a pug, who is not getting any of it, is about to burst into tears.

This is Japanese pug Bamu - more here. Don't worry, there was a happy ending.
