There is just nothing more natural than a pug in a costume.

Pugs were MADE for costumes. If they could, pugs everywhere would dress THEMSELVES up, stuff THEMSELVES into motorcycle-shaped cookie jars and wait patiently for a photographer to appear. You know they would. Their little faces have humor built right in.

Pugtastic

Hilar idea, Mary and 'Popeye' pup. Thanks to sender-inner Jennifer H.

I dunno - could be the cute or sad category. Then again, it could be that Pug's always look that way.

Enh.

"That's when I fell for
The Leader of the Pack..."

(it makes sense for a dog to be a leader of the pack anyway, right?)

He looks vaguely disgruntled, yet resigned to the fact that his owners will continue to dress him up in costume.

"Okay. Fiiiiiiiiine. One more picture, fer cryin' out loud." *Sighs, shakes head*

Before somebody pipes up with a "Born To Be Wild" gag, this is definitely a Brando-esque "Wild Bunch" pug. Just lookit 'im.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Puglet go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's pug
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

*Sigh*--poor pugs. They must win the award for most long-suffering dogs ever, too.

"In the day we play just like runaways in an all-American dream
At night we put on costumes of glory as suicide machines
Sprung from cages proud and canine,
Curly tailed, redonkulous and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town steals the bones from your dish
Attack or trap, I could never tell which
Gotta 'scape our cages while we're young
'Cause pups like us, baby we're born to be pugs"

Only my FAVORITE oldie ever, for your enjoyment:

Is she really going out with him?
Well, there she is. Let's ask her.
Betty, is that Popeye's collar you're wearing?
Mm-hmm
Gee, it must be great riding with him
Is he picking you up after school today?
Uh-uh
By the way, where'd you meet him?

I met him at the off-leash park
He turned around and wagged at me
You get the picture? (yes, we see)
That's when I fell for (the leader of the pack)

My folks were trying to have him put down (down, down)
They said he came from the wrong kind of pound
(whatcha mean when ya say that he came from the wrong kind of pound?)
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for (the leader of the pack)

One day my dad said, "Find someone new"
I had to tell my Popeye we're through
(whatcha mean when ya say that ya better go find somebody new?)
He stood there and whimpered “why?”
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you (the leader of the pack)

[Spoken:]
His tail sort of wagged and he licked me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

LookoutLookoutLookoutLookout!

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In obedience school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him (the leader of the pack)

ooooOOOOoooOOOOOO . . . .

The leader of the pack - now he's gone . . . (Repeat to fade)

Unfortunately, it didn't need all that much tweaking. I declare CO commenter karaoke night!

Lemur, instead of the motorcycles churning in the background after each verse, I can just hear doggies barking...

Aubrey
 |  Oct 23, 2006 at 01:59 PM

Aubrey, I hear ya. I also see poor Popeye surrounded by shards of broken cookie jar, pulling one of those super-sad pug faces post-crash.

Born to be wild and bad to the bone! But really folks he's just TOO cute to be bad.

Dawn

Oh, that is priceless.

Melissa
 |  Oct 23, 2006 at 04:00 PM

Once again I'm speechless at both the cuteness of the subject (pug) and the inventiveness of the c.o. viewers who create poems, sing, dance and otherwise make me laugh. I don't know how I got through my workday pre-c.o. Thanks to everyone!

Mary
 |  Oct 23, 2006 at 04:18 PM

Lemur - dat's wonderful.

I think he looks more like an off-duty cop, meself. "Hello, ladies, what seems to be the trouble? Do you require assistance?" (with deep voice, serious face, and twinkly eyes, not to mention waggy tail)

He's got the sad rebel look of James Dean and Marlon Brando. A kind of tough guy with a heart of gold look that makes the honeys swoon. Awesome pug.

Marie
 |  Oct 23, 2006 at 05:36 PM

Oh my goodness. How exactly is he *in* the costume? Those aren't really his hind legs in those little boots, are they?? So cute, I want one for my beagle..

*snicker*

Your comment made me think back on the episodes of Cops I was watching yesterday.

Until I got to the "waggy tail" part.

*giggle*

oh my god! I'm stuck in a loop of going 'Awww!' then chuckling like an idiot then going 'Awww! then chuckling like an idiot...

Somebody whack me over the head with something please? I love Pugs. That guy can seriously join my pug army.

I juts love this whole photo.
