Pugs are notorious for being a little grouchy and grumbly, especially as they get older. They don't care who hears them: in fact, maybe the goal is for everyone to hear them. If that's the case, they're doing a great job.
On Sunday, October 13th, one senior Pug was enjoying a day out at the pumpkin patch, looking for her perfect pumpkin. Once she found it, she wanted everyone who came near it to know that it belonged to her, and that they needed to back the heck off:
Frank and Brenda are the best pair of Pugs on the whole internet. They're very outspoken and very, very cute.

Brenda got to visit the pumpkin patch on this day: her mom needed help. Obviously, human eyes are not good enough to pick out pumpkins on their own. They needed Brenda there to pick out one that met her standards. Luckily, she wasn't too busy, and she found the perfect one in no time.
What you might not know about Brenda, though, is that she doubles as a security alarm. Whether you're the mailman, a random squirrel on the street, or a nice person at the pumpkin patch simply walking by Brenda's pumpkin, she's going to get you. Say "nice pumpkin, Brenda," and move along!
Pumpkin Hacks For Fall Loving Pups
Pumpkin season is thrive season for people all over the world, and our dogs love pumpkin, too. Obviously. Otherwise, Brenda would not be guarding that gourd with her life.
Pumpkin is great for dogs, and can be fed often. It's high in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. A little bit of pumpkin as a treat or mixed into their food can help keep them regular . Additionally, the healthy fats in pumpkin can help keep dogs' coats shining and healthy. Pumpkin can be fed to your dog every day, too, as long as you go with pure pumpkin that hasn't been spiced in any fun fall ways.
If your pup loves pumpkin, now's the time to get some:
- Go to the pumpkin patch or the grocery store, pick up a few big ones, and take them home. They're cheap!
- Puree them (some dogs also like pumpkin chunks, but they still need to be cooked and chunks can be a little stringy).
- From there, you can put the puree in ice molds and pop them in the freezer!
While you can thaw pumpkin ice cubes as a topper for meals for the dog, you could also give them the pumpkin straight out of the freezer during warmer days as a pup-sicle! Plus, it's literally unflavored pumpkin puree. If you start craving pumpkin bread in March, you can use it, too!
When feeding your dog pumpkin, make sure you don't give them the leftovers from carving: it's best to roast and puree the fresh pumpkin. Once they've been carved, they start to spoil. Not on Brenda's watch, though!
