Recently, we picked out a few items from Canada Pooch’s Fall 2022 collection to prepare Jonas, Fern, and Ivy for the cooler weather as temperatures continue to drop out here in the Kootenays. We then, of course, made our way to the top of a mountain at the crack of dawn, overlooking Kootenay Lake and the valley we call home to take epic #pugtography photos showing off our sweet new seasonal gear!

The average life span of a pug is 12 to 15 years, so if you’ve ever had the pleasure of falling in love with one, chances are, you have had or are going to have, the unfortunate experience of grieving the loss of a pug. With great love, comes even greater heartache. So, when you lose a pug, the void they leave behind can be enormous. I never thought I would be able to get over Solomon, let alone open my heart and love another pug again. But I have, and I do. And I promise, if you ever have to go through this, you will too.

Pugs, as a dog breed, are generally misunderstood to be lethargic, sedentary, overweight dogs that are incapable of anything except eating, sleeping, and dreaming of wanting a slice of pizza 24/7. Personally, I find this to be an exhausted & uninspiring trope that I see consistently reinforced in popular culture every single day on social media. It drives me freakin’ crazy!
