What It’s Really Like To Live With A Pug

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 2,333

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!

    They forget one thing! Pug is incredibly smart , you can teach them what ever you want. I did teach mine how not to sleep on a furniture and she fine with this. She never do nothing wrong, except she may steal hedgehog food sometimes if I am not careful lol

    When my pug first came home. I took him to the kitchen. I out just a little bit of food in his bowel. when He ate it, I quickly add a little more I repeated this several times. This was to show him now that he eat alone without his brothers and sisters he didn’t have to stuff himself with food. From then own I would fill his bowel with dog food. After refilling his bowel a couple of time he realized ir would get refilled when empty. Now after 9 years, he maybe over weight by 5 pounds ( if that ). In summary in the very beginning bring him home, teach him by showing him he need not worry about not having any food to eat. He’ll adjust. Every time I go into the kitchen I check his food then add food if necessary (same for water ).

    So true, I have two now used to have three. They rule the house and my life. I live with them, I am lucky to find room in the bed or couch. Food is easier shared since the begging is beyond. Spoon for me spoon for them. I would not change a thing.

    Only had my Pug for 1year now & I so love this dog. This is very true…he follows me everywhere & loves attention. Cuddling. He is special & I love that about him. He gets a certain look when you are eating or he knows your leaving & it makes you want to tear up. Lol.
