Humpty Dumpty

Here's a pug version of Humpty Dumpty.  I also added my own interpretation to "King's men" and "King's horses."  They're having problems putting Humpty Dumpty's clothes back on (silly Elvis, the hat doesn't go on the paw!).  Thank you, thank you very much.

This Little Puggy...

This little puggy went to market.
This little puggy stayed home.
This little puggy had roast beef.
This little puggy had none.
And this little puggy went wee wee wee all the way home!

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe...

Hmm I don't think it's a good idea to actually catch a tiger by his toe!  Poor little Moe.  I imagine that Eeny, Meeny, and Miny dared him to grab the tiger's toe.  They probably triple pug dared him!

Because this was a two-pager in my sketchbook it's a bit big here but I wanted it big enough for the text to come out clearly.

Jack Be Nimble

c.creativity commented on my last post of Jack and Jill, asking about a pug interpretation of Jack Be Nimble and how a pug would jump over the candlestick.  So this is my response!  

Now I know there are a bunch of pugs that are actually quite active and agile (there are agility pugs out there!), and even Sunny has her energetic spry moments.  But most pugs I've known (including Sunny) really do love to nap and can be super lazy and stubborn at times.  So this lil pug might need a little help "jumping" over the candlestick.

Jack and Jill

After I ran out of children's songs and dances, my sister suggested Jack and Jill.  There are no cute pug dances here, but at least there are some chubby pugs tumbling down.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Pug

Twinkle twinkle little pug. My sister suggested this one since she pointed out that pugs kind of have star shaped bodies (so this is dedicated to her!). Look there's a shooting star pug!

Chicken Dance

Here's a pug showing you the complicated moves for the chicken dance.  I was running out of dances to draw and Boodapug suggested the chicken dance!  While there aren't really words to go with this I figured I could just do the "nanananananana" sounds for the song part.

Pug Ring Around The Rosy

These pugs are having a blast doing ring around the rosy!  I had thought of this song earlier but was reluctant to draw it at first since there's not really that many movements to this - it's just dancing around in a circle and then sitting down.  But the more I thought about it the more I thought it would be fun to have frolicking pugs dancing around in a circle and then plopping down to sleep.  Also it's so perfect for pugs!  Sunny is capable of great energy and action but not for extended periods of time.  And any additional energy she exerts gets compensated with even more napping time later in the day.  So here are some happy pugs having a blast dancing around in a circle, followed by a good ol pug nap at the end.

Itsy Bitsy Spider Pug

Here's a lil pug doing The Itsy Bitsy Spider!  This is the last children's song I could think of with accompanying dance/movements.  I'll try to think of others, but sadly nothing comes to mind so far.

I tried my best to show the pug doing the spider climbing with her paws, but pugs lack the finger dexterity and thumbs (their declaws are nothing but another pair of nails I have to trim).

Lil Pug Teapot

I've had old songs from my childhood stuck in my head since I did the Pug Hokey Pokey yesterday and wanted to do another one.  I couldn't remember that many that have accompanying dances/movements, but of course I had to do I'm A Little Teapot.  Sunny is very short and stout!

The Pug Hokey Pokey

Here's a pug showing us how to do the hokey pokey.  I used to love the hokey pokey as a kid, especially when they did it at the roller rink (do they even have those anymore?!).  And isn't everything more fun with a pug?  Yes.  Always.
