And do pet stores still really sell puppies? I don't think I've seen that since I was a kid.

Since pet supply stores stopped doing it, unfortunately there are now stores that sell nothing but puppies.

I will definitely report back the first time I see the two pugs curled up sleeping together or something similar. Although I am also hoping for something a little more calorie-burning like a game of chasing each other.

My vote is for "jumping up and down on a trampoline". That would be adorable.

Oh man, our guys are all about that. We basically got the kitten just so Moggie would bite something other than our ankles. It's worked better than we could possibly have dreamed. She's slimmed down a fair bit, too.

I was so not aware of the puppy stores! Are they underground, or something? Maybe I just don't go to the mall often enough. I'm suprised that sort of thing hasn't been legislated out of existance.

Maybe the puppy stores don't exist in all parts of the country, but the one we have here is a chain and it's definitely not underground.  They advertise quite prominently.  When I walk Number One Pug and talk to people who are interested in buying a pug, they will often mention those places and I will have to warn against them.

It's not the selling that needs to be legislated out of existence, in my opinion. I don't have a problem with people buying puppies.  The problem that needs to be legislated is that people are legally allowed to breed the puppies in inhumane conditions.

On a lighter note:  Pug trampolining.  Yes, this is clearly a sport whose time needs to come.

Thank you.  That made me laugh out loud or "LOL" as the kids these days might say. 

In my head they are both wearing little work-out outfits and have little sweat bands on their heads.

Indeed when it comes to pet fitness, it's all about the pets having buddies.  Since my cat made friends with my SO's two cats he began to slim down.  Now that we've lived in our two story house, all three of 'em are noticeably more fit and muscular.  It's a little crazy when all three get frisky at once though.

sometimes my cats chase each other around like hell really late at night.

That's what I meant. Folks gotta get their purebreds somehow, I guess. Though I just went through a website for a local place and saw puppies that cost more than the blue book value of my car. It confused me - the people I come from only recently accepted the idea of keeping pets in the house instead of in the barn.

Yes! My neighbor has a baby puglet who would love to participate, I'm sure.

Did you look at the website for the place I work for?  Some of the snakes are also worth more than your car.  And they don't even, like, sit and recognize their names.  Very weird.

[jough]

Yes, but you can take the snakes... on a plane.

[wombat]

Well sure but you could take much cheaper snakes on a plane and get just as much fun out of it, you know?

I know where you can get like..   like 50 garters if you want.  I mean.. I'm just saying.  They don't so much bite as they just kind of hide under rocks though.

[Mite]

Dang, 4k for a snake? I only looked at the cool frogs when I hit that site up the first time. You gotta tell us interesting stories about your clientelle sometimes.

[jough]

Something tells me that a lot of their clients have ER trips in their future.

"A million to one shot, doc!  I just totally fell on it while my trousers were off..."

[slink]

Seeing a doctor about a trouser sn...

I'll get my coat.

[V-Adore]

Yeah, I have to say, the image of pugs on a trampoline is way past precious and verging on twee, but in a good way.

The snake breeding-line page is sort of weirding me out, if only because of the one with the status "female laid slugs." This has to be slang for something, right? They haven't actually figured out a way for reptiles to produce gastropods, right?!
