The one thing that can cheer me up anytime I'm down: PUGS.

They're my favorite animal. Not just my favorite dog. My favorite animal, period.

I was thinking about adopting one earlier last year, but my landlord won't allow pets :( Whenever I move out of my current apartment, a pug is one of the first things I'm going to get!

So, who has a pug? Anybody have some cute pug stories? And if you have a pug, please post a photo of him or her! I'd love to see them!

Note: This blog was inspired by Fat Pigeon's blog entitled Giving kittens to people is fun, where everybody start posting photos of their kittens. It was a complete "AWWW!!"-fest.
