We all love our furry little animals. Some of us more than others. In this week's episode, we discuss an old relic of an order based around the Pug.  This should not be confused with some of the stuff you all see on TV with people dressing in latex dog suits and masks. Although, i suppose there isnt much of a difference from whats going on.....and it could be related i suppose, but not to my knowledge.... Anyways, give it a listen and I hope you enjoy the show!
