There’s a certain look pugs give you that feels like they’re already saying a thousand things. If they had thumbs and could text, your phone would never stop buzzing. Here’s exactly what those messages would sound like.
1. “Why did you leave me with Netflix paused?”
Your pug swears they were deep into that nature documentary about squirrels. You just had to go to work? Unacceptable. Expect some passive aggressive side eye when you return.
2. “I sneezed and scared myself. Send help.”
Pugs are dramatic by design. One tiny sneeze and suddenly they’re looking around like they’ve just survived an earthquake. Obviously, you need to know about this immediately.
3. “Accidentally licked the floor. Don’t ask questions.”
Between dropped crumbs, mystery dust, and your socks, the floor is their personal buffet. They’ll regret nothing, but they still feel the need to share their questionable decisions.
4. “You said walk. When? Be specific.”
The W word can’t be tossed around lightly. Once it’s out there, your pug is pacing, spinning, and texting in all caps until you produce the leash.
5. “The neighbor’s dog barked. I replied. You’re welcome.”
In their mind, your pug is the neighborhood security system. Forget the doorbell camera. All threats, whether real or imaginary, will be loudly addressed.
6. “Tried to fit under the couch. Got stuck. Again.”
Spatial awareness isn’t really their strength. They’ll wiggle halfway in, realize their head is now furniture, and text you a blurry panic selfie.
7. “Why are you in the bathroom without me?”
Pugs believe privacy is a myth. If you lock the door, prepare for guilt trip texts ranging from sad face emojis to claims of abandonment.
If pugs could text, you’d never need a notification sound because your phone would constantly be lit up with chaos, complaints, and way too many selfies. And honestly? You wouldn’t mute them for the world.
