I Will Show You How a Pug Eats an Ice Cream Cone

 

Hi everybody! It’s me, Lightning! There’s a funny video of dogs eating ice cream on the internet: [youtube https://youtu.be/tHvExOg4NI0] The puggle on the left is an embarrassment!

The bigger dogs try to dominate me sometimes. Usually I can stop them with just a look, but not always. The puggle in this picture, for example, kept blindsiding me and trying to climb on top of me. I chalked that up to youthful exuberance for a few moments, but when he kept doing it, I had to knock him down, leap on top of him, and sink my fangs into his neck. Not hard, just enough to reestablish the natural order of things. I don’t instigate this stuff, but I don’t put up with a lot of nonsense either. You know what they say — it’s not… Read more →
