Hey I am a Full Time worker (not for much longer looking to go Part time) , my pug is rarely at home on his own though, he will often come to my work with me- where he will just sleep on my desk or go to my mothers (his Nanna) house fro the day- she doesnt work at all and henry loves to spend time with her, she spoils him rotten. Maybe one day a week he will spend at home with only the company of our cat benji but on these days iI come home for lunch to let him outside for a run and will spend a full hour with him. When i come home on lunch he will usually be curled up on the couch with the cat or asleep on my bed. I do leave him lots of toys though and also I leave the TV on for him, he likes to watch TV. I will be getting him a pug friend in the near future though.
I am relativly new to showing- I have beagles and I started showing the 3 years ago, I find that Henry is easy to groom and get ready for shows and is good to handle.
Henry was a breeze to toilet train I used puppy pads for this and as a puppy he would jump off the bed (I made steps out of pillows) to use the puppy pads and he could never get back up so he would cry to wake me up so I would lift him onto the bed.
He is now fully toilet trained and usually wakes me up at about 5-6am to go to the toilet. On weekends he will bark at the back door when he wants to go out side and then will bark again for us to let him back in when he is finished outside.
I do not know if this is the norm for most pugs, I can only speak from my experience, but Henry really is the most well behaived and most loving dog I have ever had.
I think Pugs are the best dogs, I will always have pugs for the rest of my life.
