Pug Meets Baby

You should have seen Puggo yesterday. Lindsey’s husband, Matt, is a KISS fan and wanted see the lit guitar, so we all agreed to meet for brunch and I brought the guitar to John’s house. Jack brought the RepRap and we showed off our advanced in technology. Lindsey and Matt have a 14 month old baby, a little girl who is cautious about the notion of walking but she crawls very well. Lindsey put the baby down on the floor and Puggo came up to see what kind of Pug-sized creature was perched on all fours on Puggo’s turf.

Puggo sniffed and licked at the baby’s face; the baby giggled but eventually pushed at Puggo’s snout, then started to crawl across the rug. Puggo was entranced! Puggo gave the “PLAY with me!!” crouch, then raced into the living room. Puggo circled the interior of the house several times, barking happily. The baby sat down,  her diapered bottom plopped firmly onto the rug, and watched the dog in curiosity. Puggo would approach the baby to sniff and lick at her face, then race off, daring the baby to chase her. The baby wasn’t as quick as the Puggo, even if she was a skilled crawler. Still, Puggo was ecstatic to have someone close to her size and form on the floor; someone who wasn’t a feline.

Puggo’s little curled tail wagged furiously whenever the baby looked her way, so much so that Puggo’s whole rump wagged. We got out Puggo’s stuffed chicken toy from the basket, the chicken with the squeaky in the head, and handed it to the baby. The baby waved it happily but didn’t want to share with Puggo. She kept it away from the dog, grinning and giggling, occasionally saying, “No!” and “Chicken!” The baby even chewed on the chicken. The baby should develop a strong immune system! 

Neither deep literature nor instruction in the Geek Way; just an observation of what I found humorous yesterday.  Some posts are like that.
