The Ancient Art of Pug Wisdom
Confucius says, “everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” The first documentation of the pug breed was made by Confucius in China around 551BC. Coincidence, I think not. I believe the personality of the pug may have led to Confucius’ most famous saying. I wonder if he would have been stressing out or dropped a f-bomb when trying to trim a pug’s nails? I bet he melted when a little pug face looked up at him with those big brown eyes saying I love you.
Pug wisdom may be hard to understand, or even to deal with, but once you realize and accept the ancient art of pug wisdom you will be at peace, Grasshopper. To help you achieve harmony, let’s explore a little pug wisdom:
A person’s face can never be clean enough.
My food is my food. Your food is my food.
Stop and smell everything.
The stating of the word “No” has infinite statements.
Two pugs can never have the same toy, they want the toy the other has.
A pug cannot hear a tree fall in the woods or a home intruder but can hear a cheese wrapper being opened a mile away while in the middle of a deep sleep.
If it smells weird, pee on it.
We do not shed; we spread pug glitter.
Snorting is the highest art of expression by sound.
Farting is the highest art of expression by smell.
The Police sang the song of my people: “Every breath you take…Every move you make… Every Step you take…I’ll be watching you”
The vacuum is my mortal enemy, it must be destroyed.
Sleeping spots are universal.
Two things that can be hidden: A pug or multiple pugs. (Widely known as Spot the Pug)
Your house is my house.
I am such an enlightened creature; I expel hair in the air that lands on everything except me.
You may say no, but my eyes will make you say yes.
You watch me go to the bathroom so I must return the favor.
The object of a superior person is a pug.
A person of wisdom delights in pugs.
I know you like me better than most people.
Everything will be better once you snuggle with me.
If you do not pay attention to me, you will be barked at.
I love you, therefore I sneeze in your face.
A pug is a true friend that never betrays.
I could go on, Grasshopper, but these wisdoms explain why a pug is so challengingly beautiful makes sense to us pug people but may not be to others. Pugs will become a part of your soul. Have you ever met a pug owner that was not a total crazy pug fanatic? Pugs are comical and fun-loving dogs that can also give you a run for your money or for that matter spend it. So, thank you Confucius, the world’s first recorded crazy pug owner, to establish centuries of love and understanding on why this breed is so special.
