Black pug owners will love it! Everyone else will think it's stupid! Actual pug used as model! Snort! All of the cards in this boxed set feature our glorious pug, Chester, back when he was only two or three years old.  Now he’s going on seven and in typical black pug fashion, he’s turning white. This gives him gravitas by the bucket -- he stomps about the house, grimly taking note of poor housekeeping and inadequate emergency preparedness measures – but he’s not as freakishly cute as he was when he was younger.  Luckily, the cuteness void has been filled by our other black pug, Connie, who is three.  She's the one in the image to the left.  Poor little thing.  On her pudgy little shoulders rests the sole responsibility for cute production in our home.  A little while ago, we got a couple of kittens to pick up some of the cuteness slack, but they were only kittens for two weeks. Now they’re big, fat, nervous, and disinclined to do cute cat things like chase their tails or sleep under the covers. So now it’s all back on Connie. What we’re going to do when Connie gets like Chester and starts waddling around, a la Queen Victoria, disapproving of things, is anyone’s guess. We can’t get a third pug because my sister told me this horrifying story about a friend of hers who brought a third pug into her two-pug household, and the two younger pugs harassed the older pug to death!  Even if that’s atypical pug behavior, it sure as hell isn’t worth taking the risk.  Plus when I think about months and months spent housebreaking another puppy, I want to run for the hills.  I could try to fill the void with a baby, but then I’d have to take care of it, which I gather is a bit of a project, and babies take years to housebreak. Speaking of cute, all of the designs in this set are our cute-as-button notecards.  They're not as cute as pugs, but it's hard to make paper products truly cute.  Except for origami.
