i would love to have a pug as my sweet kid.i wish to have pug.but since i have to go to my work so it will be staying home alone all throughout the day.so..its a daunting job.heres some informations about pug.i love it.
A Pug is a toy dog breed of dog with a wrinkly face, and medium-small body. The word "Pug" may have derived from the Latin Pugnus (fist); the Pug's face can look like a clenched fist.Or, in nod to the breed's sometimes mischievous nature, from the character "Puck" of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The breed is often summarized as multum in parvo, literally translated as "much in little", refers to the pug's great personality, despite the small size.
While most Pugs appearing in eighteenth century prints tended to be long and lean,the current breed standards call for a square, cobby body, a compact form, deep chest, and well-developed muscle. Their heads, carried on arched necks, should be substantial and round, the better to accentuate their large, dark eyes. The wrinkles on their foreheads should be distinct and deep,and were especially prized by the Chinese as they seemed to spell out the character for "prince".Pugs lower teeth should protrude farther than their upper, meeting in an underbite. Their fine, glossy coats can be apricot, fawn, silver or black. A Silver coat is characterized by a very light colored coat, absent of black guard hairs. Some unscrupulous breeders call "smutty" pugs silver. A "smutty" pug typically has a very dark head, with no clear deliniation at the mask, and dark forelegs. The tail should curl tightly over the hip; a double curl is considered perfection.
Pugs are very sociable dogs, but quite stubborn. They are playful, charming, clever; and are known to succeed in dog obedience skills.Pugs are sensitive to the tone of a human, so harsh punishment is generally unnecessary.Pugs get along well with other dogs and pets and require lots of attention; they may become slightly jealous if their owner ignores them or does not play with them.

My fiance wants a Mandrill but I think those guys are too mean! I would love to have a lemur or a squirrel monkey.

I would love to have a wolf. I think they are very beautiful. I wouldn't mind a tiger or panther either but the wolf has a special spot in my heart. I know I won't ever have one but I can still dream :)

Personally, I would Love to own a Monkey. I think they are quite interesting Creatures of habit. I Love how they seem to be in so control of everything and let nothing really bother them. But overall, it would take a Big space to own one, so I will have to Dream for now.

I would have the folklore Brownies...they clean your house, cook, washing the pet, do your laundry and all for a saucer of milk! What could be better? A pet that all you would have to feed it is a saucer of milk a day and everything in the house is taken care of. :)

I actually got the animal I wanted last month. An African Grey Parrot. So happy to have her! Never thought I could afford one. I'd also like a horse someday.

I have a real toss up here....I have a passion for wolves and they are my "totem" animal....I have two cats, but if I were ever to have a dog it would be a husky as they are closest to the wolf...I also love owls...and yes, as some have listed here..in the cat family tigers...My that is some combo for me isn't it?
