Hitched - Sled Pugs

This is for this week's Illustration Friday topic "hitched."  At first I thought of a wedding but somehow my mind slipped over to farms, oxen, and eventually sled dogs.  I thought this would be appropriate also because I recently got Sunny a couple new harnesses which she has been hating.  I think pugs would be one of the worst dogs to hitch to a snow sled.  Especially if they're like my Sunny, who HATES snow.  And of course I had to dress them up in jackets.

  3. Love them! Love the little jackets and the ones curled up for a snooze. Haha, so cute! I imagine a follow-up picture where all the pugs are piled onto the sled and the poor woman is struggling along with the straps over one shoulder. Pugs have it rough, man!

  4. Love it! I joked once about hitching a sled to my abominable snow pugs, but I see now that it wouldn't work.....

  5. Hahahahaha, that's adorable. You may not get very far, but who cares. It would be amusing to see all those little pug butts waggling in the snow.

  6. I agree, you would probably not get too far with that! Great concept and execution...

  7. Thanks everyone! Sometimes my brain comes up with these strange ideas quickly, and other times it's uncooperative and quiet.

    Cindy - I love the idea of the next scene, with me pulling the pugs along in the sled haha!

  8. I love this! I have 2 huskies, and if I didn't have to save room for paying clients (-- I have a business boarding and training dogs in my home), I would get a couple pugs, too. I'm picturing pugs riding on top of the huskies -- everyone would be happy with that arrangement, since huskies love to pull and pugs love to be lazy. That would be my family. :-)

    Your blog makes me very happy, by the way. I discovered it during the whole pug alphabet craze, and now I check it every day.
