Ugly pugly

uglypugly

Lucky for me, cuteoverload.com can still be read in China, so I am able to borrow pictures of pugs from them to beautify my posts while I wait to get myself organised with my own photos…

Now that we have a nice big apartment with a huge park just downstairs, I have asked Patrick to buy me a puppy.
I couldn’t decide for ages between a miniature poodle (without the silly haircut) or a pug.

I finally decided on a little ugly pug, because they are just so ridiculous looking, and I like a dog that makes me laugh. I also read somewhere that they hate the heat, aren’t very athletic, and if you take them for too much excersize they start to wheeze, and you have to take them home.

Hold on a minute, I thought… That’s ME!

Ugly little pugs and I seem well suited. The final point that sealed my decision was when I heard Patrick asking around about where to buy a good pug in China. “Pug” in Chinese is pronounced “Bugger”. TeeHee!

‘Where are you going?” … “I’m taking the little Bugger to the park.” :)

    Hi Sally! I’m glad things are going well over there. Pugs are ugly but adorably cute… hehehe. Looks pretty fierce though, does it bite??

    Reminds me of my schooldays, every Friday I had to pass by this place where fierce dogs roam around. I was chased once, luckily I had my umbrella with me!!

    Great post Sally. I think your writing style is changing a little. I like it; very engaging.

    Oh, and this post really made me laugh.

    Hi Nessa! I’m glad you had your umbrella with you that day, very useful things umbrellas are. :)

    Thanks for your compliments Johno, I bet my writing style will change a bit here.. you need a certain sort of sense of humour to live in China!

    Hey Sal

    You’re already in China!?
    How long are you planning to stay there?
    I’m slowly beginning to look for post-doc positions. Although have already had a few job offers, which is reassuring.:)
    I’ll email you some pics from my vacations in Cancun and Vancouver soon!

    Hi Elim!
    Don’t know how long we will be here… We will see how it goes.
    Congratulations on the job offers, hope you find something you love doing.
