Pug Problems

How many is too many?

My wife brought home an eleven-week-old pug today. I blame myself. She had asked me if I wanted to go look at pugs for sale with her, and I had declined. If I had been there, this never would have happened.



We already have one pug in the family. That one currently resides with my son at college. We see her (the pug) whenever he comes home from school, which is enough pug face-to-face for my needs. Having foster-cared that dog for a year, I think I've put in my time.

The new pug cost $500. Neutering is not included in the price, nor is any future costs (did you know that pugs can be a fairly unhealty breed, requiring frequest vet visits?)

I'm not going to let it happen again. We've owned ten dogs over the years. I've been involved in the selection of two of them. Although I stomp my feet and make everybody vow that I will not be involved in the dog's care and/or wellbeing, that vow may last a week before I'm the one scrubbing the carpets.

This dog is not staying. I'm serious.
