The Pugs Bunny Wishing You a Hoppy Be-lated Easter!

 I finally decided to succumb to my crazy-pug lady ways and start an Instagram featuring my one and only spoiled pug--Finnegan McDuff. Make sure to follow him and his ridiculous adventures on Instagram!

Finnegan Visits Fort Funston

I have always seen other dog owners heading out to Fort Funston all the time, but it wasn't until Finnegan and I went there ourselves that I truly understand why this is surely the best off-leash dog park in our area. Fort Funston features 200 foot high sandy bluffs on San Francisco’s southwest coast where the winds blow reliably wildly. It is no surprise that it is one of the premier hang-gliding spots in the country. A network of trails make it ideal for hiking and horseback riding. Dog owners will be happy to know they can take leashes off here. It is also home to the Fort Funston Native Plant Nursery. 

That day, I decided not to hide my crazy pug lady personality and wore some cut-off overalls and a PUGS t-shirt that I had thrifted a while ago back home in Ventura, CA. I am sure that Z was embarrassed to be seen with me. Upon reaching Fort Funston, we took a winding trail though some sand dunes to an isolated beach. There were tons of dogs, all nicely trained of course, accompanying their owners for this scenic walk. If you want to do some dog watching, this is the place to be. As soon as we reached the water, Finnegan was already tired from the seemingly arduous journey to ocean paradise. At one point, he was so exhausted that he flopped himself down in the middle of the wet sand and probably looked similar to a beached whale from far away. Completely covered in wet sand and panting non-stop, we dragged Finnegan back to the car and took him to a self-wash bathing center near-by. We found out that Finnegan gained some weight on their in-store scale--about 29.2 pounds to be exact! After the bath, Finnegan passed out in his new Star Wars Boba Fett hoodie (I couldn't resist) on the couch and didn't even wake up to eat. I guess he was trying to tell me that this was a pretty successful pug day outing.

Pugnacious Portrait

This is going to be a crazy pug lady post. Sorry guys! I found this amazing etsy shop (HOOPLA) that will create a custom portrait of your pet through embroidery. I've been getting into arts and crafts...well basically anything DIY right now...and thought this might be right up my alley to try and recreate. With my new found interest in the arts, this might be a huge signal that I am turning into a grandma who would rather hang out with her plethora of pugs instead of human beings. Oh no! 

I found some portraits that I took with Finnegan back when he was a little pugnacious puppy. He was fascinated with his image on my laptop's screen, so I decided to snap some shots of him and his funny little facial expressions. I never expected a pug's face to convey so many emotions, but it seems to me that he does! Well...actually I'm hoping that he really does so I am not crazy. Do Owners really start to look like the pets they keep? I guess you can be the judge.
