@somodad I feed her a cup of Natural Balance Small Breed everyday. I'm lucky in that her frame is and has always been fairly small. She's also extremely energetic and zooms around, either by herself, with me, or with my roommates' other dog.

@bourge That's very natural! As callous as it may sound, she will get over it and it's for her own good. I made the decision when I got Ripley that I did not want her to sleep with me in the bed starting out. Pugs are known for separation anxiety (which Ripley still has to some extent) and I...

@imagebeastmarkbeast I felt the same! I had a miniature schnauzer growing up, and I became spoiled at how low maintenance she was as an adult. I don't think Ripley is at that same point yet, but she's enough of the way there where it's not a constant stress for me to have her. She's currently...

Hey guys. So I have a now 2 year old Pug named Ripley. I'm a 27 year old single guy living with some roommates. I got Ripley as a puppy knowing I'd be the only one really taking care of her. It freaked me out. I pored over this subreddit for way too long, worried about if I had done the right...
