This blog is dedicated to recording the thoughts of a little pug named Winston, the Grand Duke of Pugsworth, as he struggles through a pampered existence.

Not So Tough After All My parents have been going on and on about how Cosette was going to be a little social butterfly and make me look bad at the pug meetups and so forth. Well, we went to a pug meetup this weekend and, for the few moments my parents would put her on the ground, her performance was less than awe-inspiring. Matter of fact, she reminded my parents of another "cowardly" pug. I think they meant me.
This is Mai-Tai. She is my half-brother Wonton's new little sister. She is just a few days younger than the stray.
Although it is hard to tell, she is actually a lot fatter and stockier than the Stray.
She is also a lot braver than the Stray. This is her chasing the Stray while the Stray flees with her tail uncurled.
The Stray going totally submissive for the little pup.
The Stray getting her butt completely kicked.
I won this great prize by guessing how many treats were in a jar. I am an expert at knowing how many treats are available for me to eat in any given location. Unfortuntately, I didn't get any treats, but I did get this cool rope and ball toy that is great for playing tug of war with Cosette.
We also got these horrible party hats - as you can see I did not enjoy these very much.
And we got two great presents. Here we are opening one. Cosette was much more interested in the paper and the box than in the toy that was inside. She is still learning.
This is the Stray back to her outgoing and aggressive self.
This is me waiting patiently for my turn to the eat box. My turn would be spoiled by my mean Mommy, who took the box away.
I was able to enjoy the toys all to myself. This is the awesome elephant that I got.

Welcome to My Blog- Now Submit to My Tyrannical Rule
On Pugs:
In the whole catalogue of the canine species, there is not one of less utility, or possessing less the powers of attraction than the Pug Dog, applicable to no sport, appropriate to no useful purpose, susceptible of no predominant passion, and in no way whatever remarkable for any extra eminence, he has continued from era to era for what alone he might have been originally intended, the patient follower of a ruminating philosopher, or the adulating and consolatory companion of an old maid.
I'm a pug puppy that was born on July 8, 2006. I have a face that entitles me to get away with murder and, if all goes according to plan, I shall be able to freely manipulate my Humans as soon as they are properly trained. I foresee a pampered existence for myself, and will do whatever is necessary to see that it comes to be. Now (getting into character) I shall transform myself into an innocent dumb angel...and the Humans will be none the wiser. P.S.- I LOVE COMPLIMENTS! Feel free to leave me a message.
The story of the stray my parents brought home one day, aka "Cosette Colbert d'Bonapug"
Cosette is my little sister, born March 3, 2008. I am not sure how exactly my parents found her, but I am guessing that while they were out playing without me one day, they saw her wandering around and, in a momentary lapse of judgment, decided to bring her home. [Parents' Note: Cosette was not a stray, as much as we admire people who adopt pets who are or were strays, or from shelters, we got Cosette from a wonderful breeder and know that from the minute she was born, she has been nothing but pampered.] I guess she's not really so horrible, we play a lot but she also likes to sleep almost as much as I do, and she is even more snuggly than me, if you can imagine that. Unlike me, she is a social butterfly and loves to play with any other dog, person, or stuffie she sees, although, she is terrified of cats. She seems to be stuck in permanent puppy-hood and is the source of constant amusement for me and my parents.

Those are some great photos, particularly the ones of the stray getting her butt kicked. LOL. Silly stray.
ADORABLE photos! And I love the video! Love the line, "she's still learning"...
The video is so great! What a huge stock pile of toys. You are some lucky pugs
Those pug puppy pictures are making Mommy want another puppy (we just have remind her how little sleep she got when Daisy came though).
Those are some super duper photos! We love the one with the stray biting on some ribbon. It's quite the action shot!

Wow. You really shouldn't post such cute photos of baby pugs. It makes my Mom want to bring home a puppy....Not fair!
