A pug is a toy breed, which means it is very small, about 10-12 inches high, and weighs 14-18 pounds. A pug has a curly tail, a wrinkly face, and a short snout, too.

From Quiz Panda's Quiz

Answer: To no longer drink milk from the mother cat

As a kitten, I begin to grow. My mother cat gradually stopped letting me drink her milk. This process usually starts when kittens are around four weeks old. It can take a while and is normally complete between the kitten's eighth to tenth week. Moistened kitten food is good for a kitten and helps make the weaning process comfortable. If a kitten is very young, you may need to visit your veterinarian to get some special kitten formula. For example, if a kitten is under three weeks old and is not receiving mother cat's milk, then you will have to give the kitten formula every two to three hours. It will have to be under the guidance of a vet so you are not under feeding or over feeding. Gradually, as the kitten grows to about three weeks old the feedings will be larger feedings and they will become less frequent to about every six to eight hours. Once weaned from the mother cat or formula, a kitten will be eating kitten food and drinking plenty of fresh, clean water. My owner made sure that I was given good food and delicious fresh water to keep me healthy.

Do not give Puggy-Wug an aspirin or any other kind of drug for pain that is meant for people, unless a vet tells you it is okay.

From Quiz What Is the Matter with Poor Puggy-Wug?

Answer: Scolding the dog

Take the dog to the vet to see if he has a medical problem that makes him lose control. Clean the rug (ask your parents to help) with cleaners made for removing urine to take away the smell, so he won't think the rug is a good place to go! If you feed and walk the dog at the same time every day, you will give your pet structure, and he will know when to expect to be able to relieve himself. Be sure to praise him when he does! Make the walk last half an hour to an hour to reduce anxiety. If the dog pees because he gets excited, try ignoring him for ten minutes when you come home from school. Scolding will not work; in fact, it can backfire because some dogs will pee when they are scolded to show their submission! Besides, the dog will not understand why you are scolding him, so try these positive suggestions instead.
