Leeloo the Pug

On Sunday one of Claire's coworkers brought over her dog, a pug named Leeloo, which is a pretty unusual name. It comes from this old movie. Lilo is also from a movie so I guess there was that in common. Pugs also come from China just like Shih Tzus so that's two things in common. When Leeloo got to our house Marty, being a grumpy old man, barked incessantly at her, and that got Leeloo excited. Pugs though aren't designed to be able to breathe, so when she got excited she started gasping and wheezing, and sounded like she was going to pass out, it was pretty noisy. This of course only made Marty more grumpy and bark more, getting Leeloo to wheeze more, making Marty bark more, making Leeloo wheeze more, Making Marty bark more....... (it could go on forever like that I think.) Leeloo also was pretty hot, since being able to breathe is what cools dogs off, she couldn't really cool down, plus she was a little chubby and that might have insulated her to make her hotter. Besides just wheezing she made a lot of other weird noises while she wheezed, it was kind of entertaining to hear so many odd things come out of her. Eventually we took Marty on a really long walk and tired him out so he was calmer. After dinner Leeloo went home and the house was quiet again. I think Marty needs to learn how to get along with other dogs though, and not be so grouchy, but maybe he is just too old now. Maybe he'll be gone next time other dogs come over so that Lilo can have a more enjoyable playtime with dogs.
