You don't know
Jack...The Pug
Until you have read his story:
Jack the Pug is actually not a real pug. He's a cross between a pug and a chihuahua, and he only uses his pug persona in public. At home he is affectionately called the Chipughua (or sometimes "Little Piggy").
He first
became interested in computers when the people he shares
an apartment with decided to buy a PC. They
happened to have some time off from work and hogged the
keyboard for a full week.
As soon as the people returned to work, Jack started
playing Solitaire and soon mastered the mouse. Then
it was on to the World Wide Web, where he explored all
the hottest doggie home pages. After chatting with
some of the pooches, he discovered online shopping.
For the first
few months, Jack was content with secretly buying dog
bones, and the occasional new leash or collar. The
people were so overworked and stressed out, they didn't
even notice. But then he graduated to steaks and
gold dog tags. It became an obsession, he was
getting up in the middle of the night just to go online.
Summer came, and the people went on vacation again.
They soon realized the paw prints on the mouse, the
printed websites of female dogs (mostly pugs) and the
history of pet chat rooms Jack had been visiting.
That's when they had a long talk with Jack and sent him
on a retreat to a nursing home. No Internet, no
phone service, just 24 hours of soap operas and game
shows.
When he
returned, Jack had a whole new outlook on life. He
remembered that he loved the people and wanted to help
them. He was always a good dog, he had just gone
astray for a while.
People are so emotional, they get frustrated so
easily. Soon enough, the computer began to have
problems and all the people could do is rant and
rave. They spent hours with Tech Support, read
every manual, even bought how-to books, to no
avail. Jack decided to take matters into his own
hands, so he went online and researched as much as he
could about computers. He went into chat rooms and
asked for advice, he even e-mailed tech support instead
of paying those per minute charges to listen to elevator
music while waiting for some twelve year old to tell him
he didn't know anything.
In time, Jack the Pug became a guru. And now,
he wants to share his wisdom with you, his
fans. If you are just starting out, or even
if you have been using computers for a while, when you
have questions or get frustrated, don't pick up the phone
(or a sledgehammer). Instead, just ask Jack.

MORAL: The next time you look at a dog and think there is
nothing more than "Pet Me" or "Feed
Me" going on between those fuzzy ears, remember the
tail of Jack. Treat your pets with respect, or they
just might max out your credit limit on a trip to Mexico
with a cute Chihuahua named "Chica".

What is Jack's New Year's Resolution??? Like many of us, he would like to shed a few pounds. He is currently 10 Lbs. overweight, which doesn't sound like a lot, but that's 30% of his total body weight. Jack would also like to update his site more often, but it snows where he lives and when you are only 11" tall, it takes a while to get back to the house after a walk. Thanks for all of your patience and Happy New Year!
