Pugs and the third age

Pugs make such wonderful pets, particularly for those in their Third Age – broadly speaking, the Over 50s.
Pugs in particular make wonderful companion dogs for the elderly. Their willingness to adapt to their owner’s needs makes them the ideal companion dog for any Third Ager, requiring only as much exercise as their owner is able to provide. We often get asked, when people live in apartments/flats how much outside time pugs need and the answer is very little. One walk a day they will be content with – their most overriding desire is company. They will follow you from room to room, in and out of the garden, they will be as active as you are. People who are retired are excellent owners for pugs and if you can not spend a lot of day time with your pug we strongly recommend that you get another dog companion, of any breed and they will be happy to await your return. If left on their own with no other dog for company pugs get separation distress and this can causes ill health.
So if you are in your Third Age and looking for the ideal companion dog, you could do a lot worse than buying a Pug!  When you do after reading this please remember to thank us for making such a great recommendation.
