Sid’s Got Something to Say
Hey guys, so Sid really wanted to write today’s follow-up post on confidence shirts, but Brian (wisely) only gave Sid a commenting account for the blog, not a full-fledged write-your-own-posts type of account.
So, while Sid is stewing in the corner muttering about how life isn’t fair, I’m going to transcribe his written notes into a blog post that I’m sure he’ll say isn’t half as awesome as it would’ve been if we’d just let him write it himself with no supervision whatsoever.
So, here it goes, an unedited transcription of Sid’s notes:
1. Point out that I don’t need some stupid shirt to give me confidence because everybody knows I’m awesome and maybe I wouldn’t have such obsessive compulsive anxiety problems if Mom and Dad would just listen every once in a while when I sit really loudly and then sit even louder and HELLO, I’M SITTING so give me the stupid venison bits that are barely even treats but whatever they taste good and I should get them whenever I want them because it’s not like they’re Twinkies or something but even if they were Twinkies, whatever, I’m an adult, and in fact if we calculated this whole age thing fairly like the way you’re biologically supposed to according to the scientists or whatever then I’d be at least forty-two which is older than Dad and he’s the “oldest” person here so I’d totally be in charge and Mom would be the baby and Dad and I could make her go to her stupid bed or shake our hands or Jimmy for FORTY-SEVEN SECONDS whenever she’s soooo hungry that she feels like she’s about to starve to death and then maybe she’d start scratching her armpits with her feet all the time because she feels so trapped in her life and I could just throw a really tight shirt on her and say “all better!” but still not feed her whenever she’s sooooooo hungry or just, you know, wants a treat because treats taste good and who in their right mind doesn’t want a treat but MAKE SURE TO POINT OUT THAT I DO ACTUALLY LIKE THESE SHIRTS because they emphasize my broad chest and they look pretty cool for a dog shirt and I guess I don’t really scratch my armpits as much when I wear them, so yeah, tell Noodles that I don’t scratch or lick as much when I’m wearing them.
2. Tell Payton that she’d TOTALLY be a medium (even though the mediums look really small) because Mom and Dad got me a large once and, like, it started out okay but then like four hours later the neck was all baggy and Mom kept saying something about “Flashdance” which doesn’t sound very cool but they still didn’t take the shirt off me and then I went outside to “water the lawn” and when I came inside there was pee all over the bottom of my shirt which was totally HUMILIATING and totally something that stupid Edna would’ve done, not me. Post picture of Edna looking stupid. (Be careful not to write anything about how I secretly miss her, but maybe post another picture of me spooning with Elly because Elly was awesome and everybody will think I’m cool if they see me snuggling with her.)

3. Tell everybody to make sure that their parents use those scissor things to cut a tiny little slit in the neck of their shirts so that you don’t leave the house looking like this: (Insert stupid photo of me looking stupid and not confident with my head stuck in my shirt).

4. Tell Myko not to give my parents any ideas! A fashion show?!
Well, unfortunately for Sid, we thought Myko’s idea was FANTASTIC. We’ll be taking photos of Sid posing in ALL of his new shirts over the weekend!!

Sid, have no fear! We hear ya! Honestly I’m not sure there’s a pug on the planet that doesn’t have some sort of human induced issue over the withholding/delaying of treats and food.
Thanks for the size advice! I can’t wait to get my mom to order me one to try out!
Boy does Edna look silly! But Sid, what if Miss Timothy sees that pic of you and Elly? Your expression in that picture is so funny…caught in the act!
And Myko, way to go! Now my mom was reminded about doing that too. Ugh!
Love,
Payton
PS. Does that slit fray and need to be sewed?

Hey, we didn’t know you had a Boston friend. Neat. Are these girls family members or neighbors or friends? Just hadn’t really seen them on your blog before. Love the snuggle pic, but T. Buttons might get a little hot under the collar on that one! You sure look nice in your shirts. Great deal.

We prefer to think of your shirts as expressing your confidence, not giving you confidence. We have to applaud you for buying American made! That is awesome. And those tight shirts only serve to show off your physique. If you want to talk about embarrassing, talk to us when you are wearing pugjamas.

Definitely your cutest post ever! American apparel shorts are super cute and we agree that neck stretchy isuse a major problem. tubby has a huge wardrobe of shirts and most have stretched out necks, oh well. Medium for Tubs is not going to cut it as he then has the “canned ham” appearance
Also Tubby wants you to know that according to the experts he is nearing 77 and he still does not get the respect he deserves or the treats and Zira is in her 90s by that calculation and what do her ‘rents do, they put her on less food since “seniors” need to watch their weight

OMP I am sooooooooo sorry everyone!! I didn’t know that my post would result in your humans forcing you to wear clothing for a fashion show. On the bright side though, being forced to wear stuff could equal tons and tons of cookies (or peanut butter and apple slices:)
Maybe you could make your humans feel really bad and get some bacon out of it. My mom said I have to tell your humans and Payton’s humans that she is beside herself with excitement for the upcoming photos!!
Oh and Sid, that pic with Elly totally ups your street cred, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the t-shirts. I think you look rather handsome
Pug Love
