Spider Pug

I have always been a relatively active person, riding horses, playing netball, running and hiking and Lola has always shown a great interest in partaking in these activities. Whether it is stealing grass from the horse’s mouths or attempting to trip you whilst trying to run, she is always front and centre of every fun activity you are partaking in. Pug Rule #1 Pugs own you! There is nothing we do nowadays that does not involve Lola, including trips to the grocery store! She has a great love for the car, especially ‘driving’ (well sitting on your lap and putting her paws on the steering wheel) J

 However these activities do not always have to involve humans. . . BIRDS are Lola’s second best creatures to play games with. She will run up and down the garden for days thinking that she will definitely catch the next bird that flies by- she also has a few blonde moments mistaking airplanes and cable cars for birds during our hiking expeditions 

Chasing her own tail is also one of her favourite PUG-TIVITIES! Lola has picked up a certain liking to the word ‘bird’ and to my mom’s laugh! If either of these two events occur she starts barking and spinning around trying to catch her tail, it’s incredibly amusing for us to watch. Often when she stops spinning you can actually see how physically dizzy she is, so she starts spinning the other way almost as if she is correcting herself J

About two years ago my sister and I began including Lola in our hiking adventures. This year alone she has managed to make it to the summit of Lions Head FIVE times- that is more than I can say for some humans! This pug is incredibly agile on the mountain and this is where her hiking name arose- ‘SPIDER PUG’! Most people we come across when hiking are amazed that she can even make it half way up, but it helps keep her physically fit and she absolutely loves it. Pug Rule #2 Pugs are fearless! 

That is all from Lola and I today, hope you all having a PUG-ER-RIF-IC day!!
