Careful, it’s getting hot out there
Summer is here again, and depending on where you live, it’s either already hot or it’s going to get hot soon.
Pugs are brachycephalic, which means not only that they have a short nose, but also that their ability to cool themselves is less than other dogs. You see, dogs cool themselves via evaporation in their nasal passages and with their tongues. Because pugs have less of that, they just can’t keep as cool as other dogs.
So, be careful out there this summer, it’s hot out there. Make sure your dogs have enough water, and make sure they don’t stay outside too long if it is too hot in your area (it is already way too hot in our area for gizmo and gadget to be out for very long, but oopsy is a bit smaller and likes to stay out a bit longer, but still not for too long)

A New Bed?
Gadget has found himself a new bed. He totally doesn’t fit into it, but he seemed to think it was comfortable enough.
If you can’t tell, this is the top of our garbage can.

Update!
Sorry it’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to update. Since the last update, I’ve graduated from law school, had a big party at the house, and started the grueling bar exam review process… Along with taking care of three pugs and a baby who can now do LOTS more than she could a few months ago, including get into lots of stuff she shouldn’t be into!
Here are a few pictures that include Martine playing next to the baby pool w/ Oopsy, Oopsy & Gizmo taking over Martine’s Toddler Bed, and Martine NOT giving Gadget his Chicken Jerky! Just look at Gadget’s face, he’s saying “Oh no you didn’t!”

More Luchador Pugs
A classmate of mine knows I like pugs, and sent me this link to some luchdor pugs. Without even thinking about how strange it was, I showed her Shelby’s Luchador Costume.
It was only after I sent her the link that I realized how ridiculous (or awesome!) it is that I already have that in my head.

Martine Hugs Gizmo
Martine loves hugging the pugs. Gadget will get slightly annoyed with her and walk away. Oopsy is skittish, and will avoid her too. However, Gizmo will tolerate her much more, and when he does, this is what happens — he gets lots of hugs.

Happy Easter!
The last three years, Gadget has been the Easter Pug. This year, it’s Gizmo.
However, the second picture is Gadget with the ears on, pouncing on the grass. He wasn’t in the mood to sit still for Easter Pictures, so he let Gizmo have his turn.

Does your pug play fetch?
Does your pug play fetch? Ours don’t. However, we have a child for that.
You can see HD versions of the video on youtube or on facebook.

Mukilteo Pug
We are at a wedding outside of Seattle this weekend, and the pugs couldnt come with us, so all we got to take is Tivo, Martine’s toy pug. So, this is a picture of Tivo in front of the Mukilteo Ferry at the Silver Cloud Inn in Mukilteo, Washington.
There wasnt much time to do much of anything besides attend the wedding events, but we did get to go eat Fish and Chips (Tricia had Clams) for lunch at a Fish and Chips stand called Ivar’s. We even saw someone with a PUG at the Fish Stand! The stand is there because there’s a public park nearby and because people waiting for the ferry need to get a quick meal while waiting… The wait for the Ferry when we arrived was 90 minutes!!!

Ok, it’s a joke.
I don’t think I fooled anyone, but yes, it was a joke.

A new focus…
I’ve really enjoyed the past few years of running Urban Pug. However, I think it’s time for a change of focus. You see, I’ve had a passion aside from pugs for some time now, and I think it’s about time to officially change the focus of this blog. Now, the blog will no longer be called “Urban Pug.” Rather, the new title is “Urban Spider.”
I just love spiders. I can’t get over how cute they are, once you get used to them. The picture here is of our new spider pet, Webster. He’s a new addition to the family, and I think over time, you’ll come to find him just as cute and lovable as you have found Gizmo, Gadget, and Oopsy.
As for Tricia and Martine, well, I’m working on getting them adjusted to Spiders.

Gadget & Martine!
Sometimes, we take Martine in her stroller along with us when we walk the dogs, and sometimes, Gadget likes to ride back home in the back seat.
This is what it looks like when we get home. Gadget’s just poking his head out, as happy as can be, and Martine loves riding in the stroller, so she’s super happy too.
I can only imagine what people passing by in their cars think.
This next picture is of Gadget and Martine at (Martine’s) dinner time.
Martine and Gadget have sort of a “pact.” He lets her have her space in the house, so long as she provides him with extra treats. Here, he’s waiting for her to fulfill her end of the bargain and push some of her food off her highchair onto the floor.
Actually, the pugs are GREAT at cleanup. Any food she throws on the floor, and any food left over when she decides she’s finished eating, well, there’s a pug for that! It’s gotten so routine, that they just sit there and wait for the food to fall and for the tray to eventually be left on the floor for “cleaning.”

One of Gadget’s Favorite Chin Rests
I’m not sure why exactly he likes this place, but he certainly does. Gadget loves to put his chin in between the spokes of my rolling chair. I think it has something to do with the plastic floor cover – it’s a little bit cooler than just being on the carpet.
Oh, and sometimes, there will be two or three pugs, all fitting into the chair leg slots. How weird is that?
What places to your pugs like to go? Why do you think they like it so much?
Even though Gizmo does sometimes like to do the same thing that Gadget’s doing in the picture, he will usually try to be up high, on a chair or on the back of a sofa as opposed to being on the ground.
This is of him sitting on one of the chairs in the office.

Dog Behavior Problem Tip #2
Tip #2: Always provide positive reinforcement.
It is too easy to fall into the habit of saying “no” for bad behavior instead of saying “yes” to good behavior. In order to help train your dog, look for easy things he can do, like “sit” or “stay” or “lie down.” Practice these behaviors, and praise your dog for compliance. After he is able to do a few things, when he is misbehaving, you can tell him to perform a command. For example, if your dog likes to jump on people, you can tell him to “sit.” By giving him something to do, he will do that instead of the negative behavior. This way, you can break him of his bad habit.
