Now that Ezra has taken Olive the Pug and fled for greener pastures, you may have noticed Wm. Steven Humphrey lobbying for a new office pug — and, you know, that’s fine! Pugs are good and lovely, if you like undersized asthmatic R.O.U.S.es (and I do!), but I think this pug election is really about change. Olive is gone, and she’s never coming back (unless she does, in which case: welcome back, Olive!), and I think it’s about time the Mercury got a new furry mascot.
You know.
A dog with life experience.
A dog that doesn’t know when to back down.
A dog that has seen a lot.

And, friends, I believe Rudy is that dog.
I mean, look at him! He’s described as being a “champion cuddler” (but not elitist!), “good with kitties, although (he) may chase them a little itty bit first” (tough on cat crime!), and “fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped” (not a public health hazard!).
So what do you say, Blogtown? Should we as an office adopt Rudy the One-Eyed Badass Chihuahua Mix?
* and I pose this question without having received any support or approval from the people who don’t pay my salary here
I am registered as Anti-Chihuahua, no matter how many eyes they have.
I DEMAND THAT THIS CANINE BE FITTED FOR A PROPER EYE PATCH. TO DO OTHERWISE BORDERS ON ANIMAL CRUELTY.
The chihuahua can only be chosen if it has a terminator eye. Sorry intern, those are the rules!
He will always look like he’s winking at you. Always.
I’m with Graham. Eyepatch and you gots a deal.
DUDE. This dog gave up his eye so that he could gain the power of foresight. This dog sees all, knows all.
Champion cuddler, eh? Regional or National?
Rudy’d be all the better having a beefy bulldog sidekick.
I’m pretty sure my dog gets grandfathered in being that I work here and all.
(I’m not trying to be a dick, I just don’t have the heart to tell my dog or that little cyclops that they aren’t pugs)
I still would like to promote a Mercury office Pekingese.
When you moved downtown I think their was a clause in the lease to replace all those damn office dogs with babies. Didn’t you get the memo.
Nice there error Rosy.
It has only one eye. It should euthanized since it would never survive in the wild. Keeping it alive as a “lap-animal” is selfish, otherwise.
Jesus Christ, DamosA. That might just be the shittiest comment ever made in blogtown history.
Maybe YOU wouldn’t survive in the wild. I have no reason to believe that you have both eyes either.
It should also be noted that I probably would not survive in the wild, either. I have both eyes, but I’m terrible at starting fires and can’t hunt worth a damn. Wanna euthanize me?
DamosA is on to our plan of adopting handicapable puppies with the sole purpose of euthanizing them and using their skins for our Darwinist cult! ABORT, ABORT.
Here is a one eye’d pug http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/2103604…
I think perhaps you need a pair of office “pugs”
GOOD GOD, that cyclops pug is 9000% creepier than Rudy could ever hope to be. Through photo alome, I feel like he’s peered into my soul and judged it to be unworthy.
Actually, the skins are worthless to me. I much more prefer the skulls and bones. I collect those.
