In memory of Loriot

You all know our pugs. The reason why I have always adored pugs is, or unfortunately has been, the responsibility of Vico von Buelow, alias "Loriot". If the german language has ever had a congenial satirist and humoristic artist, then it was him - the greatest german humourist, if one can say so and if something like that in Germany is possible. His death at the age of 88 is a great loss to all of us.

It was him who said, that, roughly translated, "A life without pugs is possible, but not desirable".
He is, of course, right.

To show you what I mean I have included here 3 youtube films - spoken in german by Loriot himself and starring his own pugs. Unfortunately the spoken text is very important to get a grip of the films - sorry for those of you, who do not speak german. For all the others: have fun!
