Release the Puggles of War.

I want to share with you, internets, a little glimpse into a bizarre side project of mine. If we want to call it that.

My Boyfriend (from now on to be referred to as Boyfriend) has an undeniably strange side. As do I.

My dog Henry has a toy Hedgehog. It is the only dog toy I have EVER gotten him that he has not immediately destroyed. Seriously, any toy he has ever had (even the "indestructable!" ones) he has attacked, pulled out all the stuffing, and stredded.

Except for one.

The hedgehog.

As Boyfriend and I were sitting idly on the couch, the following conversation took place:

Me: I think its weird that Henry's had this toy forever and hasn't torn it up yet.

Boyfriend: Huh.

Me: Don't you think? Why do you think that is?

Boyfriend: I bet its because his family was brutally murdered by Hedgehogs. He is using the toy to train for his revenge.

Me: ...

Boyfriend: Yeah! When Henry was a puppy, an army of Hedgehog captured, tortured, and murdered his family. He was the only survivor. Before they killed them, they clipped their toenails. That's probably why Henry hates getting his nails clipped.


After this, he began singing about the Legend of the War Puggle.

This strange aside continued for weeks and weeks. This legend became more and more elaborate. The War Puggles wore expertly crafted armor, complete with chain-mail and spikey helmets. They could be tossed into the ranks of an opposing force by humans and wreak havoc.

I decided that movies should be remade with War Puggles as the lead roles. This lead to a discussion of every War/Action movie I could think of. I then substituted one of the words for "Puggle" or "Pug."

  1. how funny is that! I have a dog that tears apart every toy, even the indestructable and whose only toy is a rubber ball... how boring! Yet, she is completely comfortable using that one toy when not stealing peoples socks!

    I love your blog.. it is so cute!
