I was asked by a representative to underwrite a blog post for Dog Fence DIY, who are considered to be the most affordable resource for wireless dog fencing. I decided to mix it together with Peach's birthday post since the timing was so right.
We have had Peach for about a year and a half and a lot has changed since then. The difference she makes in our home is not always enthusiastically accepted by me, but she is teaching me some valuable lessons about unconditional love and even parenting.
With Peach, our house is more rambunctiously fun.
After she takes a bath (which she LOVES) she gets preliminarily towel-dried and then she does her own spin-dry. She will "Pug Run" like crazy all over the house because she feels so good and clean; it is one of the most hilarious things you'll ever see.
Peach will always give you a hug or kiss, whether you are in the mood for one or not.
I think she just knows better than you do when you need love... which is all the time in her opinion. They call pugs "velcro dogs" because of the way they need to constantly be able to touch you. I'm trying to have more patience with her now with this because soon I'll have a human baby in contact with me most of the day, and I'll need patience for that, too.
Peach teaches us a lot about non-sensical verbal communication.
I know not all dogs have the vocabulary that a masophilic nose affords our pug what with all the grunts, snorts and yawn-bark-cries she is capable of making. That is why it is never lost on us when she makes a very audible "mmhmm!" or one of those yawn-bark-cries that are indescribable... it cracks us up and it opens our minds to communication which is used by no human being anywhere. We can almost understand her; this will help when we have a crying and babbling baby!
As the years go by I'm sure she will teach us more and more. Here's to another year with Peach; our rambunctious, snorty, lovey little Pug.
