Random Puggle Fact

Puggles are extremely intelligent. When playing games where the object is to trick your puggle, you're going to have to be ON POINT if you hope to continue tricking him or her.

Puggles learn your moves so fast that you need to come up with new ones constantly. If you pretend to throw something in one direction so you can start running away from your puggle in the other direction, enjoy it; that trick will work about twice more, and then your puggle won't so much as LOOK in the other direction when you pretend to throw something.

Puggles have your number, and you need to be really clever to outsmart these dogs... but it's fun trying!

Dangers of Kennels for Your Puggle

As I've mentioned in the past, my puggle lost her hearing due to an ear infection and the antibiotic that was used to treat that infection.

This type of hearing loss in dogs takes place over a period of days, and if the symptoms of hearing loss are caught in time and you stop giving your puggle the ear medication, he or she can repair the hearing loss over time.

However, when your puggle is in a kennel, the people keeping an eye on the dogs can't pay the same amount of attention to your puggle that you would, and they don't know your dog well enough to notice something like hearing loss.

So if your puggle is on a new kind of medication, or has any other conditions which may require lots of undivided attention, then you MUST avoid kennels at all costs.

They simply don't have the manpower to care for your puggle the way your puggle wants to be cared for!

Some alternatives include:

• leaving your puggle with friends or family
  
• asking your vet if you can delay administering a new medication until after the holidays
  
• finding a family that will take a puggle for a short period of time in lieu of a kennel, and making them aware of your puggle's medical needs
  

There's always an alternative to putting your dog in a kennel, if you're willing to do the research.

Your puggle will thank you for it!

Puggles and Weight Loss

Was your New Year's Resolution to lose some weight? Well if it was, your Puggle friend could help you to achieve that goal.

If you play around the house with your Puggle, running around and chasing each other until your Puggle seems tired or needs to stop for a drink, you've burned a LOT of calories, and you're keeping your Puggle happy and healthy.

Puggles love running and playing, so throw a harness on your Puggle and go for a jog together! The benefits of running, walking or jogging for both you AND your Puggle are immense.

Set a schedule for yourself and stick to it, and combined with a healthy diet, you're sure to start shedding those pounds, and you'll have fun with your Puggle at the same time!

Puggles are Brave

Many dogs, Puggles included, are afraid of loud noises and creatures that they can't recognize (like, for example, me in a refrigerator box making growling noises).

But the interesting thing about Puggles is what they do after they encounter something scary. Generally, their curiosity combined with bravery gets the better of them and they decide to stick around and figure things out.

They're likely to go crazy during a thunderstorm, running back and forth in front of the window rather than cowering in the basement. This is an endearing trait, but at the same time it can sometimes get them in trouble, like when something is ACTUALLY dangerous. Like a car backing up, or a bear.

Puggles rule!
