    So imagine my surprise when JUST THIS MORNING I discovered that there's a NATIONAL HOLIDAY IN JAPAN WHERE PEOPLE DRESS UP THEIR PUGS IN HEADSCARVES!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyway, I read one translated tweet that said Japanese Pug Day is for "making peace with pugs."

    So naturally, we're all observing. 💁

    And while the United States' National Pug Day is October 15, I'm very pleased that the people of Japan are appreciating their pug nugs a lil' extra today.
