Pug Life

My favorite thing to do after a long day of work/classes is to walk my little pig dog, Finnegan. He is already so accustomed to me photographing him that he knows to sit still and look at me when I have my phone out. Every first Sunday of the month, Alta Plaza park in San Francisco has a "Pug Sunday". All the little pig pugs in the city make the journey over to Pacific Heights to romp around pugnaciously. While there, a woman took out her camera and Finnegan stopped what he was doing to pose for her. She laughed since Mr. Pig was such a good sport and model for her.  I know it's probably weird to other people, but I really look forward to Pug Sundays and having these snorting pigs running around. Being a crazy pug lady, it is my dream one day to have a pug farm. I'm sorry if this seems a bit borderline hoarder-ish, but I am sure Z will stop me before I ever reach that point... (Hopefully)

Here's to many more pictures of my spoiled pig pug, Finnegan.

Weekend Warrior

If Finnegan could speak, I am fairly certain he would say that Fort Funston is one of his favorite places to visit--besides his food bowl and warm comfortable bed. I've blogged about this place before, but I was able to take more photos this time around because the sun was out and the beach was clear that day instead of being deeply immersed in shroud of fog. There are a few ways to get directly to the beach, but this day we decided to go down what seemed like a thousand wooden planked steps to the sand. Finnegan loved it. He scooted up and down the steps excitedly. He is a peculiar pug in that he appears morbidly obese, but when given the chance to go hiking or run about in the outdoors--he's a maniac with so much energy. He's willing to do almost anything physically, which is the complete opposite of his lounging and napping attitude the rest of the time at home during the weekdays. He truly is a weekend warrior.

During this visit, he was brave enough to run up to the waves creeping up the beach and even got close enough to sniff a crab. (Albeit it was not alive, but shhh! Don't let him know about that! He's still a courageous little pug!) If you're looking for a good place to let your pups roam free, Fort Funston is the place!
