Pug Tales (part 1)

The other day was the quite the day for me as a pug mommie.  Believe me with two pugs there's rarely a dull moment.  One is usually up to something and the other is quick to follow. 

At one point in the day I looked over to notice Cody balling his eyes out.  I consoled him as best I could. No clue what he was crying about!

Later on we were all three heading out for a walk in the late afternoon. As we came off the elevator another dog was there with his owner waiting to board the elevator.  Simon immediately took his defensive stance as the other dog invaded his personal space.  So there I was trying to refocus Simon and keep him from taking down this other dog.  Lots of angry, "I told you this is my area so get out" type of barking was being exchanged between Simon and the other dog. As those two are exchanging non-pleasantries I notice Cody is balling his eyes out again.  What are you pugs doing to me today?  One is ready to do battle with another dog for invading his space and the other is crying like crazy.  What the heck!

Then once we got home from the walk I realized I needed to run a quick errand before the business closed for the day.  I went into the closet to get something before leaving, Cody followed.  I raced out the door.  Upon returning home, as I placed my key in the door I immediately heard Simon sounding off, as I entered I was greeted by Simon but I only heard a muffled bark from Cody.  No Cody in sight.  I began to call out his name.  Nothing!  No acknowledgement.  For some reason I quickly thought to go towards the closet, there he sat in the dark.  I felt bad for accidentally shutting him in the closet.  However, he wasn't completely shut in there.  The doors were slightly ajar, all he had to do was push against them.  But he's such a fearful little thing that he likely didn't think of that. Simon would have.  Simon would have busted through the thing in moments.  Miraculously Cody was not crying about being left in the closet.  He had cried two other times during the day so I'm surprised I didn't come home to a tear soaked Code-Man and a tear soaked carpet.  Ha-Ha!  At least being left in the closet while mommie leaves would be a valid reason to cry.   

Oh I love my boys!  Some days it's somewhat funny to sit back on the couch at the end of the day and recall all the puggie moments that played out.  Rarely a dull moment!   Two boys with major personality!

As you may have noticed this post was titled "Pug Tales (part 1)", I'll try to add more organized "Pug Tales" posts from time to time.  Posts that are equally about the two of them.
