What's that thing that manipulates aerodynamic force on those surf things, an air foil? It seems to me that a pug-unplugging is a Darwinian foil.

How do they do that? Shave the turbinates?
I’m not sure if dogs even have turbinates.

My new pug is getting spayed next week. :(
Also microchipped and having her nostrils enlarged to facilitate breathing.
In other words....she is just another form of 'investment"??!!

Worth every penny and then some.

Exactly 100 years ago on the 15th of December 2015, the valiant « Poilus d’Alaska » (The “Hairy” from Alaska ; “Poilu” was the nickname of the French soldiers of WW1), arrived in the Vosges mountains. 436 Eskimo dogs brought back from North America to help French soldiers of the First World War to overcome logistical difficulties of winter in the Vosges.

Yup! The inner cage is the bedroom. The outer cage is her den!

What's with the travel pillow?
She was spayed recently and is on the tail end of recovery. She's just well enough now to start going outside to parks and on walks.

Hey Vinny, do you believe in dog? (I thought perhaps you are dyslexic.) ;)
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Whatever gave you the impression that I am dyslexic? I'm many things but never that. I would never have been able to achieve a reading speed of 900 words a minute when I was 18 years old if that were the case.

Vinny, it was a joke. How would a dyslexic read “dog”?

I thought you might be referring to God. But I consider "Hey Vinny, do you believe in dog?" somewhat sacrilegious and was, therefor hoping that was not the case.

Vinny
Please note that I did not capitalize god. That kind of god is A (indefinite article) god and is not THE (definite article) God and therefore not sacrilegious in my opinion. For example, many people are their own god, or money is their god, or fame, etc. and ditch the real God. Or, if you like, you may just understand that I'm not perfect and blew it. Your choice. It's all good.

I wonder what it is that draws people to have a clear preference to one particular type of dog. You collies, me pugs. I mean, I love all dogs; any dog is better than no dog. But I really feel like I'm deprived if I don't have a pug.
It's about the Shibas! O0

To be honest, watching "Lassie come home" when I was little. Farm dogs like kelpies and blue heelers just didn't click with me.
What about yourself ? What first bought you in contact with a pug....

<edit> And Smith with Shibas ? (nice photo)

The dog that made me really sad was Old Yeller. :'(

Haha, great photo.

Some good news from earlier this month:

China’s dogs have been reclassified as “companion animals” rather than “livestock.” This is an attempt to cut down on the consumption of civets and other exotic animals, as well.
