Pug Inspired Vocabulary

“Pug Rug” whey they lay splayed out on the floor…...like one of those bear skin rugs, limbs akimbo. I love that!

Whenever we go for walks and pass by yards with thick, soft grass, Bennie loves to plop down, and push himself forward while on his belly.  We call it grass surfing.

Another one came from playing “chase”,  either with us or his best friend, Norman the pug.  Whenever the chaser gets close,
the chasee’s puts on a burst of speed while schooching in their rear end.  That’s the bum-tuck-and-run.

When their lip, on one side, kind of tucks under we call that Snarfing.  The girls together are Pugadoos and of course there is no end to the eye boogies in our house!

One of my new favorites that somebody else thought up and recently mentioned is the word “rooing” for that endearing sound they make : )

We use snarfle or snarf, to describe the wet sneeze shower we receive.  Puppy-tear for us is equivilant to pug-tona!
I do like the phrase “stinkle”, I have mentioned that this week around the house.
The phrases are really great!

Lola and her pug friend Bella do what I call the “pug hug”.  They run around and stand on their hind legs and wrap their front paws around eachother’s necks. It looks like they are trying to hug.  Then of course that results in “rooing” and “snorkles”. Haha.

C.J.‘s nickname is Pooh because as Lex said, that was all he did, all over the place.  My hubby wanted to call him Sh***y but I thought that wasn’t a good idea with the grandkids!!  So Pooh was created!  Toeby is my “Googly Bear” because he has the funny googly eyes and C.J. Pooh is my “Pooh Bear”.

They do what I call “mouth jousting”.  They do this high pitched whine and go at each others’ mouths like they’re going to kiss but it’s all play.  They will do this for several minutes at a time.  They don’t bite and it’s hilarious to watch!  Visitors stare in disbelief and wonder “What the heck are they doing?”.  Can’t beat pugs for entertainment value!!

‘Face-fighting’ is how Giggs plays with other pugs and a ‘pug-nado’ is when he gets excited and spins around in tight little circles on the spot (it’s different than the ‘pugtona’).  When he snots people in the face I say he’s ‘blowing kisses’.

These are all cracking me up. At our house, the “zoomies” are racing around a million miles an hour. “Juicy bung bung” is when her rear is having issues. “Dart” is when she’ll stretch out as far and as straight as possible when getting her belly rubbed. I haven’t come up with one for post-bath craziness, but “murderous pug rage” almost fits the bill.

I love these terms!  I am going to use
pug-nado; that is so Sleighbelle when she’s excited.  I also use snuggle-pug. When she gives me that snot-sneeze, I call that “snarking”, but I like blowing kisses better.  Also, she sniffs and smells at the same time, and I call that “smiffing”, and she is usually “blowing kisses” with that too! 

It’s so funny to hear that while all of our pugs are unique, they also have some universally endearing traits.  The world would be a sadder place without our pugs!

The magic word that brings them running no matter where they are: COOKIE?!! So of course they’re my Cookie Monsters. I also call them my Buggy Pugs when they’re doing the crazy things only pugs can do.

My guys go roo roo roo as well. It’s soo cute!

Cookie is our magic word too, as is kibbles!

My pug, Mooey, does that ‘Pug-Tona 500’ thing, only we call it Tuckabutt run. She’ll run around in circles under the dining room table until she nearly passes out. And whenever we give her a treat or when I bring her inside when I come home from school, she spins around in circles. I call it the Happy Circles Dance.

I forgot one more, when our puggie looks super cutie (which is ALL the time) we call her “pug-a-li-cious”.

Pug-Maced
When our pug Shira finds something we are doing midly annoying like kissing her while she’s half asleep. She gives us a big ol’ snotInTehFace. “I just got pug maced >=^O”

Pugasaurus Rex
When our pug usually barks its high pitched(girly) but when she barks at strangers she deepens it to sound bigger or tough. We call her the mighty Pugasaurus when she does this.

There are many more we have used that i cant think of atm. Some that are listed on here like pug hug we have used in the past but never heard it from other places . Its pretty funny and I feel sorry for those not blessed with one of these dogs.

When our pugs does the running around like crazy with their tails down and their butts all tucked in we call it butt scooting.

When they kind of bite their bottom lips we call that puffy cheeks..

And I laughed my butt off and almost fell out of my chair when I realized someone elses pug lets out little farts when they run up the stairs as well.

i wish i had something to add, but, one pug person to another(s)...you’ve covered what seems like everything!
it turns out my little Delilah is as “normal” as all of yours!!! i love the terms…i laughed till tears came.

wow!!!!!!!!!
