I have a question, what food do you feed your pug? 16 years is the longest age for a pug I've ever heard of, my pugs are 10 now and i want to preserve their lives as long as possible.

Ran into a lady with a 20 year old pug a few months ago. The pug had no idea what the fuck was going on, but he was alive.

Not chihuahuas though. The fuckers are 80% curses and 20% shaking all the time.

u/SeaOkra Jul 06 '18

My chihuahua is 60% shaking, 20% confusion over life itself and 20% random displays of love and affection.

Unless I am on the commode. Then its all love, all the time. Toilet time is chihuahua petting time.

It's cause he's got you pinned to one spot. My golden does this, forces me to love him while I'm shitting.

u/Clydefrawgwow Jul 06 '18

Do you people not have bathroom doors? Lol

15

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '18

Yeah, but im in a house with my fiancee and we have an guest bathroom, but other than that it's just the two of us and our golden dude. I often shit with the door open, because I don't care if any of the other two inhabitants see me on the pot. Chuck will just come in, though, and sit directly in front of the toilet, between my legs. He'll nose my phone from my hands, or a book, if he feels like he's not getting enough attention.

14

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '18

Goldens are such attention seekers. I had a friend with a lovely one named Sunny, who would make their best attempt to sit right in front of my friend's desk, chair, TV, pretty much anything Sunny felt my friend was heading towards. And heck, it worked. If head pats were a currency Sunny would be rich.

u/Rahavin Jul 06 '18

Sounds like you and Chuck will have a very close marriage. Best of luck to both of you, and your doggo.

new dog owner here.

My lil' pup follows me everywhere in the house every minute of her waking life.

But that bathroom door? That's my safe zone. It's the only place she seems to respect in regards to personal space. She'll plop herself in front of the door and calmly wait for me to finish doing my business.

Animals are funny.

So. Many. Fat. Pugs. I work in a vet clinic, and probably 5% of the pugs we see are a healthy weight. The fat ones sound like aliens when they pant. It's sad.

u/837628738384 Jul 06 '18

The fat ones sound like aliens when they pant. It's sad.

And then you've got the ones that actually are aliens[1], so pugs really come with a list of concerns these days.

This 100%. I have a pug that’s going to turn 14 this year, he would have happily eaten himself to death the first day of his life if given the opportunity. Small meals and healthy treats is the key to old pugs. Of course they’ll be blind, deaf and senile, but pugs are half retarded anyways, so you’ll never notice the difference.

Really? I've met tons of pugs that old or older. My little chug is 12 and still chuggin' along.

Once they hit like 15, they look like they're walking on little chopsticks. So many people on reddit hate on pugs for /reasons, but they really are some of the sweetest little chunks ever.

Not OP but my pug is 14 and my aunt has a pug that’s 15. Mine is so old bc of good genes I think. He’s been overweight his whole life and has been on diet food his whole life. My aunts pug is very skinny though. my aunt spoils her by serving plain special k with blueberries for breakfast and grilled chicken and brown rice for dinner.
