8 Signs You're A Crazy Pug Owner
Anne O'Hara

I've owned my pug Sluggo, for five years. In those five years, I've realized owning a pug is unlike owning any other breed of dog because of how unique they are. If you have ever seen a pug in real life, you know how fun and crazy they are! If you own a pug and you're like me, your pug is pretty much the center of your universe and you can probably relate to all of the signs that you're a crazy pug owner!

1. There's no such thing as personal space.

When you get a pug, you surrender all of your rights to privacy. Alone time is no longer a thing because your pug will become your bathroom buddy, lap dog, and cuddle partner. Sometimes you'll even wake up with your pug on your face. At first, this is a little odd. But you slowly get used to a large hairy baby on you constantly.

2. Hair....hair everywhere.

Pugs come in two colors, tan and black. Most pugs love being scratched and rubbed constantly because AFFECTION IS LIFE to a pug. But when you scratch your beautiful baby's coat, they will shed....and shed a LOT. Sooner or later you'll put down the lint rolled and wear your black or tan fuzz like a badge of pride.

3. Half of your photos are your dog.

Ask any pug owner to see a picture of their dog and they'll whip their phones out at lightning speed and show you everything their dog has done in the past two months.

"Here he is laying on his back!"

"Here he is taking a bath!"

"Here he is in the sweater I bought him!"

Your camera roll will be all pug, all the time. We even have an Instagram account for our pug!

4. You get used to snoring.

Any pug owner will tell you their favorite sleeping companion has breathing problems. Because of their squish-faces, pugs don't have much of a respiratory system. That means you will constantly hear them breathing nonstop. It's annoying at first, but now I don't even register it happening.

5. Bring out the ointment!

Pugs have wrinkles on wrinkles. Those wrinkles can get cracked and dry, especially if it's a colder month or if your pal likes to run around frequently outside. To prevent chapped-pug-face, you have to constantly slather your pug's dry face in healing ointment like a little baby so they remain nice and soft.

6. They're the center of attention ALWAYS.

If you take your pug out in public, from going for a walk to sitting in the back seat of the car, people WILL notice your dog. Not only will they notice, they will want to pet, play, or talk to your pug. Now, your dog will LOVE this because they love attention, but sometimes you have to get to places on time!

7. You always have a nap buddy.

Pugs have two settings: energetic or sleepy. There's really no in between. This is helpful because you will always have someone to cuddle up to when you're napping. The only downside is you constantly have to keep them from sleeping on your face.

8. Hope you like humidity.

If your pug is like my pug, he will like to sleep under the blankets with you. If he is not snoring already, he's still awake and heavily breathing. This heavy breathing will

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
