I have to say I was the same way, pugluvr. I liked BIG dogs. When Mr. Athena came back from a hunting trip where they rented a cabin from a person with 2 pugs and announced that he NEEDED a pug, preferably 2 of them, I thought he was nuts.
It took us several years to get around to getting one, but I’m not sure I’d ever go with another kind of dog. Pugs are not dogs, they’re an addiction.
While it is a very cute pug, I only glanced at the OP and was expecting a human baby. Dear God, I nearly spilled my drink!
BTW - Athena when you first released you puppyc pics, I saved one to my desktop at work. Whenever it gets stressful and I need a break, I look at the little Hound of the Baskervilles, laugh my ass off, and get back to work.
Why would I care what pugluvr thinks?
My chest is waterproof. And so is my trash can, where I’m certain they’d fit. Of course, I’d make arrangements to have the can & the dogs sent over to you. And then charge you for the can. 
I’m not a big fan of pugs. No offense to Athena, but as soon as I saw that picture, I immediately had a flashback . :eek:
True story: this also reminds me of one of my best friends from college. He grew up in Colorado, and his folks would breed pugs, to the point where there would be dozens of dogs running around the house freely. They’d always piss him off by crowding around him for attention or otherwise bothering him, and he hated the damned tings. I reminded him of a quote from the wise, sage philosopher Marilyn Manson: “Don’t like the pugs but the pugs like me. . .”

True story.
I can’t believe it - no LotR jokes about the dog taking the ring of power to mount doom.
