You want a pug. You've wanted one for years. You hopefully have done some research and think this is the breed for you.
Here's what it's really like to live with a pug, illustrated by the one and only Gemma Gené who draws about her pug Mochi. It's hilarious and adorable, yet it captures the essence.
Check it out below! …and if you already live with a pug (or pugs), see if you can relate! LOL
#1: They want to be with you. ALL THE TIME.
Have you ever heard parents with kids say that they never get to go to the bathroom by themselves anymore? Well, it's pretty much the same thing with a pug!
They tend to be pretty attached, and will follow you around the house everywhere you go. They will be at your feet when you're at your standing desk, curled up in your lap when you're on the couch, and sitting a foot behind you when you're at your computer desk!
If you want a dog that stays off the furniture or sleeps on the floor rather than your bed, you may have a bit of a challenge with a pug. And you may have to deal with a good amount of separation anxiety.
If you're cool with a dog that thinks he's attached to you with velcro… then a pug is a good breed for you!

A pug is a loving happy little pet I know there is shedding but I have wood floors and a sweeping brush handy He never goes in the bedrooms which are carpeted so I have no problems He loves people especially children
who play with him constantly I have had dogs
all my life but a pug tops the list X

Everything is so true! Including Liz Randell’s comment about shedding.
I have to replace the furnace filter at a rate of at least twice the recommended amount just to keep warm or cool. ( Canada, got to love it!)

It’s fun to have a clown in your life and that clown is a pug. Love the snoring and when they come up for love. They do the sneeze all over your face. Or what ever your eating. Then they think that makes that food there’s. Plus they make great heat bottles when they snuggle up next to you on a chilly evening. And they all so love to kiss humans
