Pug or Slug


I found these tips on www.dummies.com. What I love about this advice is that it describes our Vicki so well. She is 100% Pug and these two traits in particular made me realize it:

Putting a big dog into a little body

Pugs have a big idea about themselves and think that they're the prime movers and shakers in their households. They probably are because most owners end up catering to their Pug's needs. A Pug is determined to get what she wants, but only if she doesn't have to go too far from the couch.

Finding another jogging partner: Pugs and intense exercise don't mix

If you're a jogger, don't even think that your Pug wants to accompany you on long-distance runs. Although her spirit may be in the activity, her body isn't, and she stops running or walking when she feels like it. Never walk a Pug farther than you're willing to carry her. Sometimes she may just sit down on an outing and refuse to go anywhere.
Oh so true and I can most certainly relate to that last sentence -- all of it actually!
Let's go, Vicki!
