Congratulations to Oreo for being chosen as PugSpot’s Pug of the Month for May!  You can learn more about Oreo on his profile page and don’t forget to give him a “treat” to congratulate him!

Many people want to know how we choose the pugs for Pug of the Month.  It’s really simple actually.  We look to see what users are very active in the Forums and with posting pictures.  We then chose their pug to be Pug of the Month!  

So the key is to be active in posting pictures, videos and chatting in the forums!  If you have any other questions or comments, please let us know.  info@pugspot.com

We are excited to announce that PugSpot’s Pug of the Month for April, is Uba.  She is a beautiful pug who is just over a year old and lives in California.  To read more about Uba, check out her profile page.

One of our most popular articles so far, as been “Grieving the Loss of Your Pug.”  Because of the huge response to it, we have decided to start a new category in the Forums, devoted to those who have had a pug pass away.  It is a great opportunity to talk about your sweet put and also to encourage others who are going through the same thing.

Chives is such a cutie and was chosen as PugSpot’s Pug of the Month for March!  Her first birthday was just 3 days ago!  To read more about her, click here to read her profile.

Ok, so I’m not talking about the real baby pacifiers, but what really pacifies your pug and makes them calm down?  You know, the complete chill where they will roll on their back and stretch out for a belly rub?

Our two are suckers for the little space heater.  It doesn’t really matter if it is cold or not, they just love the warmth and maybe even the hum of the machine?

We’ve used this more than once just to get them to calm down and drown out a little noise, so that they can chill and relax.

Don’t they look comfortable?!?!

Do you let your pug sleep with you?  Or rather, does your pug “allow” you to sleep with him? haha

There is a great thread going on in the forums with different views on this subject.

We don’t let our pugs sleep with us because they snore too loud and I don’t like all of the shedding!

Do your pugs ever do a sort of crazy run-in-circles kind of thing like Mischa does in this video?  Our Baxter does it when he is feeling crazy and we never know when its going to happen, so we’ve never gotten it on video.

He will arch his back up, tuck his tail, his tail will uncurl and he will run in circles like a crazy pug.  It is quite funny and I never knew that other pugs did this until I saw Mischa’s video.  So funny!

How do your pugs relate to other dogs or people?  When we take our two to the nearby dog park, they seem to stick close to us and don’t interact much with the other dogs.  They have never had a bad experience, but I just think they aren’t adventurous.  

When we just had Baxter, he had no problem sniffing other dogs and trotting alongside them, but once we got Sofia, they became each other’s security blanket!

We have never experienced our pugs being aggressive like someone mentioned in the forums.  Have you?  What did you do to fix this behavior problem?

I think most pugs don’t have issues with being around humans.  As we all know, pugs really are human, right??

My goodness, this poor little blog has been neglected!

I am happy to announce that we have a new article up.  It covers our latest review of Kong products.  They are the best if you have never checked them out.  Read all about it here.
