pining for my pug

tonight, i got really emotional at the pet store. and i all i wanted to do was buy some hay for my guinea bitches.

i should mention: i am a sucker for "breed-brand" merchandise. you know doormats, shirts and trinkets with a picture of the dog and the name of the dog. i never buy this stuff for myself because i know one of the older women in my family with. (i've got every PUG change purse, blanket and magnet. thanks, grandma!)
i always imagine myself as a little old lady with a baby blue visor and wispy hair being rolled around with a pug blanket on her lap and a pug tote, too.

first of all, apparently petco remodeled over the weekend. the floor was squeaky clean and i was trying not to slip in my heels. (fail) as i tiptoed to the guinea bitch isle a breed-brand merchandise display was now in its place.

it was pug! pug! pug galore!! and some other breeds, too. but mostly pugs.

i picked up a pug mug and felt my eyes grow blurry quickly. then i felt the nose.
i said "i miss my pug!!!" slammed the mug down and found my way to the rodent section.

i hate that i cant see my dog everyday. when i moved to college town, michigan i left the pug with my parents. there, he has a huge yard, his shih-tzu sister and lots of people around for attention and kisses. i did not think it would be fair to isolate him all day long in a small apartment.(above is a picture of pablo)

yes, i have two little guinea girls. i adopted them because they needed homes. i thought the girls would somehow help fill the void in my heart. but they cant run and give you kisses when you get home, however they can make pac-man like squeaks and after a long day it is pretty adorable.

but i miss my little pablo honey everyday. i have a stuffed pug that i sleep with. but it really isnt the same.

this will all sound silly to a non-pug owner but these little dogs surely steal your heart and i am especially missing my pug this week.
