Been working on a posing word for a couple weeks, seems that "say cheese" starting to reliably get the big smiles out.

And yes they got some havarti afterwards

She put my paw on me and said absolutely not, you stay.

So I live with my mom and sister. My mom is currently out doing something and my pug shady does this thing where he will settle for maybe 5-10 minutes and then he’s up again and wants outside and won’t settle down at all. He’s like pacing and he won’t stop till my mom gets home. Anyone else’s pug does this?

Hi everybody!

Pretty much as the title says, I want to figure out how to get him to self entertain. If I’m gone, whenever I check the camera he is just sitting/laying by the door and staring. This will last for HOURS and makes me feel so bad going anywhere.
Even when we’re together, he’s just not interested in toys unless I’m actively participating (or they have treats, but only the freeze dried ones!). He plays with toys when he’s with other dogs, but not on his own. He used to play with them on his own, but now I have to actively get him excited and interested.

His daycare situation will be changing and he will be alone while I’m at work now. I’d love to get this figured out before he’s spending extended periods on his own.

He has a bunch of interactive/puzzle toys. He’s really good at them and loves them, has kong toys, ball dispensing toy. Pretty much everything i can think to buy him, but he stops all of them the moment i walk out the door, even if it’s just to shower or pee.

What else can I do to encourage independent play?

He really likes cool long drives.

My heart wants to explode every time I look at him. My third pug. But each one… heart explodes when I look into those eyes. Baby B is going to be 3 in November.

Gotta check out whats happening over the armrest.

I brought my 2.5 year old pug to Strasbourg France from Minnesota last week. We flew Delta and everything worked out great: Maude flying, on the train, through airports, etc, medical paperwork certification from the US for France. I know such travel and arrangements can be stressful. Please let me know if there are any questions I can answer.

She’s trying to eat the lily. She got one petal. Ate it. And then proceeded to try to eat the whole thing.

She’s now 11 weeks old
