Project 365 (Day 2): Pugly’s Not-So-Wild Rides

Pugly hates riding in the car. I haven’t figured out why. He generally likes wherever we go — doggy daycare, Planet Dog, visiting folks. However, he hates the ride. He generally sits with his little head pressed against the seat, either with his eyes closed or staring at me with those puppy-dog “are we there yet” eyes.

Sometimes I think he’s just motion sick. He’s thrown up a couple of times.

But then other times I think he’s just afraid of my driving. He seems most to dislike the curves. Kind of hurts my feelings to think about.

Either way, I always feel bad and I try to pet him at stops and talk to him and tell him where we are going and how much fun we are going to have when we get there. He always seems relieved when the car turns off.

   what a face!
   i LUV pugs!
   even tho my vet told me i can never have one ( #1 - i so WILL have one someday, #2 - i guess they have ’some’ medical issues, but with that puss, who cares?!)….
   mine do the same thing… they get all jazzed when the leashes come out, but then act like they’re dying the whole trip. i think they just like the self-created drama.
