The Little Details

By now, you probably all know what Sid looks like from a distance.

But today, I wanted to show some of the little pug details up close. Let’s start with his front paws. Sid has really long quicks, so his nails tend to be on the longer side since they can’t be trimmed very close.

Here’s his extra puffy tail (in uncurled mode). If you look closely you can even see a clump of loose fur sitting on top of his back. Yep, all that was just from a few butt scratches. Pugs are never-ceasing shedding machines.

And finally, here is one of his teeny back paws, one of my favorite parts. It’s amazing to me how those tiny little paws can support a pug’s body. Although I suppose around 80% of the pug’s weight distribution is up front, so those back paws don’t have to hold too much weight relatively speaking.

Oh, and one of my other favorite parts you can see in the photo above — THE SQUISHY ROLLS!!!

Poor Sid.

When he got up from his bed to follow me into the kitchen (ever hopeful that I’m going to give him something to snack on) one of his toys got hooked onto his tail.

As one would expect, hilarity ensued. I was able to grab the camera to catch a few action shots of him wildly spinning in a futile attempt to get his jaws on his green alligator. He did eventually get the gator in the end.

I guess there is perhaps a downside to having a curly tail…

P.S. There’s still time to enter the “BE COOL LIKE SID” give-away. Just visit this past Friday’s post (click here) and leave a comment with your favorite way to stay cool during the summer. We’ll be picking the winner tomorrow!
