Adorable...simply adorable.
Dogs are the BEST models!

oh my, that's so cute!

isabelle looks like she doesn't take crap from anyone. i'm sure my dog would get on her last nerve. and i have to agree with sab about the "c" story. i read it to my roommate and we died laughing.

Hmmm, I appear to be the only person who thinks the dog is hideous. The picture is good, as always, though.

yes, hideous. but that's the entire point of their charm. they're so ugly you have to love them!! that one is cute though, showing her teeth like my dog does. my dog will then bite people on the nose, but i think she thinks she's giving kisses, it's hilarious.

Pugs are the second cutest breed of dog ever. I can't resist pulling on those curly tails. Only Boston Terriers are cuter.

im a dog lover, and i agree that this dog is tremendously ugly.

Of course, I do prefer a fluffy little puppy. I don’t know why I also just adore cranky old yuck dogs. I love your rotting teeth, you scary pug! I will kiss that wrinkle between your glowing devil eyes, and you will bite my nose.

It will be great.

Thanks, photo/poop lady.

OMG ... I just spit coffee on the monitor AGAIN! I so feel for C., but I can't stop laughing. Oh, it hurts. The laughter really hurts.

"you lookin' at me? you lookin' at ME??"

that is the ugliest dog I've ever seen. so ugly that she's cute. does that make sense?

The dog is darling. And regarding C's story: surely, if a coworker had walked in and seen someone PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR, they would have taken action. Unless C works in the meanest office in the world. I think the fact that he came to alone pretty much guarantees that his incident was without witnesses.

Does this dog remind anyone else of Lucille Ball in her later years?

I love dog feet and their bottom teeth - all of which are visible here so A+. Anybody else find that dog feet tend to smell like Frito's?

Pugs are SO CUTE!!! They're so fat an ugly! --And cute!

oh man ... poor C.

Poor C. I can't say I ever had that 'bathroom at work' experience, but big-scary-poop?? yes, been there, done that.

When you post about poop, I am rigtht there with you. *sigh*

That is indeed one ugly dog....kinda makes me think of what those big scary poops must look like...*shudder*

I love those dogs...
Can I please share my constipation story? I was 9 weeks preggo and I was severly stopped up. I was already "showing" and so proud of it. While visiting my mother, I wake up with horrible poop pains. I thought for sure I was getting the stomach flu. I kept getting these waves of pains, similar to contractions. I never pooped though, just threw up. Finally after hours of these 'contractions', I had an explosive poop. (sorry to gross you out) I ended up having bleeding come out of you-know-where. Went to the emergency room! They said I was just really clogged up and knocked an internal hemorrhoid loose. You know, after all that, I wasn't "showing" anymore. All the times people were rubbing my belly, they weren't rubbing the growing baby, they were massaging my stuffed to the gills intestine! Yuck!

Pugs scare the crap out of me. My friend Carolyn has two of them, named Kiwi and Raisin (their names only add to their creepiness...) and both of them sound as if they're suffering from emphysema. They follow you around the house, making these horrible horror movie noises, and if you're barefoot they'll stick their tongues in between your toes. The fact that they're so prone to their eyes falling out of their sockets (from running into doorframes, etc.) doesn't help much either.

Bleeueh. Creepy.

The pic of Isabelle make me laugh out loud. I lova all dogs, but little ones just make me laugh out loud when I see them.

I have a similar C. story, but instead of passing out and cutting my head, I "pushed" so hard I blew a blood vessel in my eye. That one was just plain hard to explain for the month it took to heal.

Maybe it's the uniformly gray face, or the big black pop eyes, but something about this dog screams Area 51 to me. She looks like she wants to dominate the earth, don't you think?

Love your new site!

hahaha - comment 22 - Rabooka.
What is it with pugs and eating stuff? My friend's pug (Tugboat!) ate my paper napkin. His best claim to fame was eating the neighbors' baggie of pot. :)

Isabelle ain't so belle. Does she have a great personality?

Aparently not, from the pissed off look on her face.

I love a dog with pug-i-tude.

"Fuck your facist beauty standards," says the regal Queen Isabelle, "I *know* I got it going on!"

She's all that and a bag of kibble, baby. ;)

I can tell you are a true photographer. You get down on the level of the subjects so we can see them in their reality.
Oh, and Poor C. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I didn't know it was possible to go three weeks without pooping, Melissa! Oh, and you poor poor thing, Andrea. How awful.

Oh dear god. Excuse the above typos. Vicks44..need I say more?

Hi Heather:

Speaking of "poop in my ass", you're also the # 1 result if you do a search of "Mormon Cusser"

Cute puppy, HILARIOUS story! I have told all my friends to come check out your blog.

Have a marvy weekend!

That dog is hilariously ugly. Actually, the story about "C" brought up memories for me. I've only been that constipated 2 times in my life, and both times I silently swore to myself that I would eat prunes every day for the rest of my life to avoid ever having that happen again. The prune thing didn't hold, unfortunately for my colon. But every time it gets to be a few days gone by... out come the prunes, baby!
Isn't it odd that this is the only place on the net (possibly in the real world too) where I feel (sort of) comfortable talking about bowel movements? Of course, posting this means I'll never be able to run for president. The republicans would undoubtedly pull this up and show it as proof that I am not fit to be in government office-- I talked about shit! ON THE INTERNET!
To summarize: Cute ugly dog. I shit.

Dude? I do not GET pugs.

They snort.

that dog needs braces!!

the poop story make an appearence on my own blog. i KNOW about constipation... i KNOW. i had an enema at age TEN. pooping for me was that bad. i've had horrible times crapping ever since...

also, there should be a blog just for the comments your readers leave. some of you guys are really funny ;)

I have a pug and the advice for windex and paper towels is true! BUt I wouldn't trade him for any other dog in the WORLD! Only a face a mother could love!

There's just something so cute about dogs that look like they've run straight on into a brick wall at mach 5.

I'm doing some freelance cartooning work, and one of the characters i created is a pug. I love it. Cartoon pugs are so much fun to draw. Your pic made my day. And I LOVE your poop talk. I can relate. I mean it. IBS since I was 21. I'm 41 now. 20 years of obsessing with poop.

Pugs do that weird licking thing, right? As in, they'll lick the sweater on your back, just for fun? They're cute, but not so much with the licking.

I feel that I have found a community of sorts, here, in constipation. I thought that I fought these battles alone, and that the ads on TV for stuff that helps with it were just for total wimps who don't poop maybe every day or so - not my major brand of C.
It just warms me to the core to know we're in this battle together. I salute you, comrades.

Isabelle's face looks like something out of a nightmare. I, too, do not GET pugs. And I am a dog person!

One of the things I love about dogs is the way their feet smell. I mean the soles of their feet. You have to squeeze their feet a little to expose their cushioned foot-bottom pads fully, then put your nose there and smell deeply. It's such a wonderful fragrance. Something like divine baby-powder. Ever try it?
