MY DOG, PAUBLO!!!
he is my son. i birthed him. he is my biological son. he is just a little baby (incredibly old man).
i love him so much.
baby pictures!!!
here we have a very atrifacted jpeg from before paublo even knew i existed. probably before he knew HE existed.
my aunt got him when she was a teenager, he shares a birth mother with my mom's dog, nacho, but from a different litter. they're half-brothers. :]
nacho
------------>
this is the era where i myself actually had a couple interactions with this little guy. i was very small and we visited my aunt a few times.
i'm told it was these visits in which pig's love for me began. he was apparently quite obsessed with me, right from the start.
^this is my aunt's favorite picture of him.^
and now, enter me, taking him into my custody as my aunt and uncle, with their newborn in tow, move in with us.
we lived in an rv for some time after a hurricane. i don't imagine paublo liked it any more than i did.
he's always been quite fond of hiding in people's shirts.
he actually likes wearing clothes!
he's had many outfits throughout his life.
he gets pretty excited about putting clothes on and will even do his best to help you out when dressing him.
his only objection when it comes to clothing is hats, understandably. what a fucking legend. :]
the green frog hoodie makes a return!!!
before my father made railing for my loft in our house, pig had a pretty terrifying habit of leaning over the edge to look at me.
the railing was a precaution to keep him from accidentally falling off.
paublo, however, decided he was going to fall off anyway. and roll down the ladder.
on FOUR seperate occasions.
i now have a permanent barrier that only i can step over to keep this from ever happening again.
i have genuinely no idea how, but he has been absolutely FINE each time he's fallen. not a single problem besides a slight limp after one of his tumbles.
he is a wonder of the world and no one is doing it like paublo.
these are my favorite
pictures of my boy:
summers are always fun for him. he gets to warm his old bones in the sun and eat random shit in the grass.
(my efforts to disuade him from the latter go completetly ignored.)
there was one time his eating-random-shit-outside habits landed him at the vet for a few days.
those few nights of not having him in my bed with me to go to sleep were extrememly uncomfortable and restless.
because of all his wisened, white fur, the dandelions dyed the top of his head yellow.
his sick ass hair dye lasted for a solid week after that.
he's so silly he's so silly he's so silly
he's so silly he's so silly he's so silly
^the best boy of all.^
now we get to some of his most recent pictures.
here comes that frog hoodie again:
he loves to sleep either on or under his heating pad --set to a low heat, of course.
he also loves scrambling under the blanket and as close to me as he can possibly get to sleep.
and 9 times out of 10, he'll shove his entire face into a blanket or pillow and as a result; snore extremely loud.
power autages happen a lot here in the winter, so we light a fire and all pile around the fireplace until it comes back on.
the winter before the recent one, he was very upset by being made to leave my bed and sit on the living room floor.
paublo hates baths, but boy, does he fucking love being wrapped in a towel burrito afterwards.
he takes a little nap while i hold him so gentle and keep him warm.

old man.
the guy of all time.
he's turning 16 this year (2025).
he's an old man, so his primary activity is being cozy and so, so, eepy.
every time i have any of my friends over, pig is only momentarily offensive and barking the old man dog bark (you know the one), before becoming incredibly delighted.
if one of my friends is over, he decides i am inferior and demands every shred of attention he can get from them. clinbing onto their chest and licking their face.
(he doesn't tolerate anyone but me putting their face in his, but if HE puts his face in yours it's okay, of course. just don't make any sudden movements or he will tear your nose off. chihuahuas are dicks. pig is no exception.)
another summer activity:
my aunt and i, along with her two kids, go on walks, picking up trash on the side of the road.
we wheel around a little cart for paublo to lay in when he gets tired of walking with us.
also to collect flowers, bottles, and cool rocks.
>:D
he is the light of my life.
and now he can be the light of yours.
share the joy of pig with your friends. they will thank you.
and so will paublo.
look, he's winking at you.
