I can't stop smiling at this. And the dog is quite fetching. As it were.
I love the part about acting like a dog. I sometimes feel like that--I have two cats, but I strongly suspect I am a Pug in human skin. I have s smushed-in face and a curly tail and I just want the world to love me, no matter how ugly I may be to most of it.

Kat - I'm learning how to act like a dog, after a life-long stint as a cat. And pugs are one of the cutest, and most maligned, of the small dog breed. So wag away. Wag!
