Appearances are deceiving, Paco style


Now, you're looking at those pictures and thinking awwwww. Those limpid eyes, that passed out little guy. So cute, so calm. Welp. We discovered that Paco is not a Pug at all. He's half Tornado and half Velociraptor. Sure - after he's terrorized neighbor dogs who just came for a zoomie session (he doesn't know the limits of getting up close and personal), chewed on his bed and toys, played 10 rounds of fetch, taken a walk where he learned to heel within one block (smart guy) -- now he looks cute and worn out. And this is settling down since day one. Our current task is getting him to stop the puppy nipping. Perfectly normal behavior, but not great. So my goal this week, in addition to the leash training and waiting at doors until given the cue to go, is to make him safer to be around. Wish me luck, because, yup, I'll need it.

  1. Well, I'm surprised you're not laying on the floor right next to him. It looks inviting and you deserve it.
