Nevada Family Finds Their Pug Lying Sadly In His Ruined Pool, And Grandpa Can’t Take It Anymore
Bug the Nevada pug discovered a hilarious obsession with water, but when his favorite baby pool suddenly popped, he was left heartbroken. Thankfully, his grandpa knew exactly how to fix it.
A Puppy Full of Surprises
When Bug the pug first came home in January, his new mom didn’t know exactly what to expect. She had never considered pugs to be her favorite breed.
But the moment she met the tiny puppy, everything changed. He was so small he could fit right into the palm of her hand.
It didn’t take long for that tiny frame to reveal a massive, hilarious personality. Bug was about to show his family that he was full of surprises, especially when it came to one highly unusual obsession.
A Stubborn Teenage Streak
For the first few weeks, Bug was just a sweet, fragile little puppy adjusting to his new home. His family doted on him, making sure the tiny dog felt safe and loved.
But by the time he had been home for a month, Bug’s true colors started to shine through. The quiet little puppy suddenly found his voice and his boundless energy.
His mom soon realized she had her hands full. Bug became one of the most energetic and crazy puppies she had ever seen.
The Shower Intruder
As Bug grew, so did his determination. His mom often joked that she felt like she was living with a stubborn teenager who would do anything to get what he wanted.
This fearless attitude eventually led to a hilarious discovery. It happened on a totally normal day while his mom was trying to take a shower.
Most dogs run for the hills at the sound of running water, but Bug kept trying to push his way into the bathroom. Unable to believe her eyes, she pulled out her phone to record the bizarre moment as he ran right into the water.
Beating the Desert Heat
That spontaneous shower turned out to be the start of a lifelong addiction. Bug had officially discovered his greatest passion in life.
Living out in Las Vegas meant that the summer months were brutally hot. By June, temperatures were regularly soaring between 110 and 115 degrees.
Knowing how much her pug loved the shower, his mom had a brilliant idea. She brought home a simple plastic baby pool, hoping it would be the perfect way for Bug to cool off in the sweltering heat.
Six Hours of Pure Joy
When they first brought out the pool, Bug was a little confused. But the second the water started filling up the plastic tub, the pug completely lost his mind.
He immediately got the zoomies, sprinting around and diving directly under the water. He even started biting at the water like crazy, completely cracked out with excitement.
The energetic pup played in his new private oasis for a staggering six hours. Unfortunately, his enthusiastic little paws eventually took their toll on the plastic.
A Heartbreaking Deflation
After hours of aggressive splashing and playing, Bug accidentally popped the pool with his feet. The water drained out, leaving behind a sad, flat piece of plastic.
Bug was absolutely devastated by the loss of his favorite thing in the world. For about a week, the heartbroken pug would just lay in the deflated pool, looking incredibly sad.
His family felt terrible seeing him so down, but they hadn’t been able to replace it yet. They knew they had to do something to bring the light back to his eyes.
Grandpa to the Rescue
Seeing his grand-dog so depressed was simply too much for Bug’s grandpa to handle. He decided to take matters into his own hands and upgrade the pug’s summer setup.
Bug’s grandpa went out and bought a brand-new pool that was almost twice as big as the original. Even better, this new model came with two built-in water features.
When they unveiled the massive new pool, Bug couldn’t contain himself. His sadness instantly melted away, replaced by pure, unadulterated joy.
A Puffer Fish in a Past Life
It has been a couple of weeks since the grand upgrade, and Bug’s obsession hasn’t faded one bit. He runs into his deluxe pool every single day.
The demanding little pug even begs his family to fill it up for him, making sure he never misses a pool day. His mom is still in awe of how much this tiny dog loves the water.
She now jokes that her sweet, stubborn boy must have been a puffer fish in his past life. Thanks to his loving family and a very generous grandpa, Bug will always have a place to make a splash.
