We think the media has always recognized how adorable pugs are. Check out this centerfold engraving from Harper’s Weekly in 1878 entitled “Beauty and The Beast”. “Beast” must be referring to the angry black cat because that pug is beautiful. :)
St. Paddy’s Day Pugs
As many know, it is tradition to wear the green of the Emerald Isle and shamrocks on St. Patrick’s Day. Shamrocks are a symbol of Ireland, and the word shamrock was derived from the Irish word for “little clover”. Interestingly, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with parades was a tradition started in America that has spread all over the world.
Today we are celebrating the luck o’ the Irish with a charming St. Patrick’s Day pug and his friend!

Pug All Dressed Up
Nickie is excited to be wearing one of her favorite dresses this lovely Saturday morning. We think it’s the perfect attire for playtime and her mid-morning nap.
Ready for a Pug Walk
Now that it has gotten a little bit warmer, we’ve been having fun taking Nickie out for walks around the neighborhood again. Here she is with her collar on waiting patiently for us to get the harness out and suit her up for the great outdoors!
Pug Party Painting
We love this painting called “Party Animal” by 20th century American artist Pamela Hall. That is a party that we would happily join.
Mondays
Monday mornings always seem to be a little sluggish in our house, and this Monday morning after the Daylight Savings Time change is hitting particularly hard. It looks like Nickie could use that extra hour of sleep back just as much as we could.
Springing Forward
Daylight Savings Time has arrived! We’re going through all the clocks this morning and rolling them forward an hour. With the clocks set forward and spring just around the corner, these pugs (Nickie included) are ready to spring forward into action!
Lazy Saturday Pug
Our Saturday is off to a slow start, but sometimes it’s nice to enjoy a lazy weekend morning with your pug. Nickie seems to be having fun, and we can worry about all those errands and to-do lists later this afternoon.
Majestic Pug
Here you see our pug looking quite majestic and determined as we share with her our grand plans for the weekend ahead. We think she’s ready to take on the world (or at least the pet store and a bath).
Basking in the Sun
Warm, sunny weather is finally on the way for us today after a long spell of cold and gray days, so this is definitely appropriate. We can’t wait to take Nickie for a nice long walk after work!
