\nI’ve become addicted to pugs. How could I not with a face like that?*<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Really, the addiction isn’t a new thing. I’ve wanted a dog (and specifically a pug) for quite a while now. I could never get one when I was younger, but I always told myself that I would get a dog when I was on my own. But since I wanted to get one from the humane society, and they seem pretty particular about people having houses\/backyards, when I was finally on my own it still wasn’t the right time. And then when I did have a house\/backyard, I didn’t have a fenced in yard, so it still didn’t seem like the right time. But now that I will soon have a house with a back yard that is fenced in … well, now the addiction is taking hold again.\n<\/p>\n

The problem (besides the fact that I have only ever seen one pug at the humane society in the last few years) is that I’m not sure my boyfriend actually wants a dog. He had a dog when he was younger, but it wasn’t really “his” dog, it was his brother’s (or his sister’s, one of the two.) He is a cat person. He doesn’t seem to be against<\/i> getting a dog, but I don’t know how strongly he is for<\/i> getting a dog. And there is the cats to think about too – they’ve never been exposed to dogs, so I don’t know how they would handle it. Our trials with other cats in the house have been less than positive.\n<\/p>\n

\nSo instead, I’m trolling the web, looking at photos and admiring from afar. And working on convincing my boyfriend that a pug is just a cat in a dog’s body. \ud83d\ude09\n<\/p>\n
