Well, it finally happened. I admit I might be a Crazy Dog Lady. WELP.
How It Became
Having a dog was one of the biggest decisions I made. I've been wanting one for years and finally, last year, on my birthday, I got my parent's blessing to have one. For a long time, I've been eyeing to have a pug in my life. Yes, a P-U-G. They are just the cutest!! Of course, did my research to find out pugs are one of the "ugly" dogs. But no, I was so in love with them, and determined to get one.
As soon as I got permission to get one, I immediately planned out when, where and how to buy. My boyfriend and I spent our weekend going to Cartimar to look for dogs. The whole thing was so spontaneous! What's more, I was so lucky to see a basket of pug puppies in one of the shops!! Apparently, pugs are seasonal here in the Philippines. It's not one of the "staple dogs" unlike chow-chows and shi-tzus so I thought it was really made for me.
But as much as I want to get it on the spot, I was hesitating because of the price. The shop was selling the male pup for Php18,000 (that's around $350). It was quite expensive for me because I was going to use my hard-earned money; imagine I was saving up for almost 4 years with my small allowance. Worried I might be duped, I had to think about it and look around the market, but no avail.
I ended up with the same shop and gave in with the price (although tried negotiating to lower it down). It was already inclusive with the dog's papers and with 3-in-1 vaccines and deworming. They were just so cute!! Sad I wasn't able to take photos of the lot, but they were so precious!
After, we just bought a bit of supplies like a week's worth of dog food, a harness and vitamins. We went home straight right after.
Introducing my precious (love of my life) pug *LOL* -- DUBU. Yes, his name is Dubu the pug.
This was Dubu when we first got home.

Look at his face, so TRIGGERED | Flap Flap
WHAT NOW
So Crazy Dog Lady?? I think not!! I'm at the denial stage but maybe in reality, I am a CRAZY DOG LADY.. Dubu is part of my life now - I get excited every day to get home to see him. Although he always greets me with a sleepy face, I still cuddle and make time to be with him despite being tired after a looooong day in work.
Once you turn pug, you never go back.
P.S. I decided I'll make this Crazy Dog Lady, Not?? a series of posts with my dog. I'll link and post them here in my blog so stay tuned!!
