Well we made it! It is Pet Friday and the weekend is in sight. Today we will look at the very cute Pug Dog. Yes I have a bias about Pugs I love Pugs they are the largest of the toy dogs and have been the dog of cartoons and in Movies. Here are a few facts you may not have known about Pugs!
The pug is an ancient breed that traces back to over 2,000 years ago. Aside from their universally-loved squishy faces and bug eyes, there’s still a lot to learn about these animals. Here are a number of facts about the beloved Pug from facts.net:
Chinese pug and Dutch mastiff are other names for this breed.
Pugs were popularized by the House of Orange of the Netherlands (a dynasty), and the House of Stuart (a royal house).
During the nineteenth century in the UK, Queen Victoria started to like this breed that other members of the Royal family started to appreciate it too.
The American Kennel Club defines the pug’s personality as charming and even-tempered.
“Rose” and “button” are the two distinct shapes for pug ears.
Compared to the “button” ears, “rose” ears are smaller and they are folded with the front edge against the side of the head.
The “button” ears are much preferred for breeding the pug.
Pugs also come in a variety of apricot fawn and silver fawn colors.
A grumble refers to a group of pugs.
The House of Orange has the pug as its official breed.
The earliest pugs had a longer, leaner body mass.
Pugs are classified as companion dogs since they’re very sociable.
The world’s oldest pug, Snookie, lived up to 27 years.
The American Kennel Club describes its tail as “a perfect double-curl” since it curls tightly over its hip.
Pugs borrow their name from monkeys called marmosets.
The pug is one of the oldest dog breeds. The bloodline of the pug traces back to 400 B.C. China. Most of the Buddhist Monks took the dogs as their pets in Tibetan Monasteries.
Chinese Emperors treated pugs like royalty. The former emperors of China kept pugs as lapdogs and gave them the leisure of royal life. Furthermore, the lucky pugs of that time even had their little palaces with personal guardians.
Pugs weigh 14 to 18 pounds. Typically, pugs weigh approximately 14 to 18 pounds, both male and female, growing as tall as 10 to 14 inches at the shoulder. In some unusual cases, pugs can be as heavy as 38 pounds. However, this only occurs if they have a strong appetite, or if the owner intentionally overfeeds them.
Heart and eye ailments are the most common pug health problems.
Some of the most common health issues of pugs are heart problems, encephalitis or the inflammation of the brain, as well as eye problems. Unfortunately, most of these traits are hereditary. I can attest to this they do not like hot and humid weather. They have a hard time breathing and due to their bug eyes they can hurt them selves around bushes. The breathing problems in hot weather is due to the fact that Pugs can't cool the air they breathe.
Since pugs have a flat nose, they can’t regulate the air they breathe which may result in increased heart rate, restlessness, and panting. Pugs are a perfect example of a breed that suffers from the brachycephalic syndrome, more known as brachycephalic airway obstruction syndrome.
One of the best part of Pugs is that they are naturally sensitive. Pugs are naturally intuitive to their master’s feelings, and are usually eager to please them. Furthermore, they are also called “shadows” due to the fact that they want to accompany their masters as much as possible, longing for affection and attention.
Well I hope you learned something about my favorite dog the Pug. Even in India the Pug has become popular due to a company Vodafone has a pug named Cheeka.

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
"A new study looks at how accurately AI can diagnose patients. We interview the researcher, who weighs in on AI's role ...
