And if I woke up in the middle of the night, I’d try to squeeze in a quick fix.

“It was me, my son said, bursting my bubble. “It’s like Facebook. But instead of friends, you need followers. You have to follow other people, then they’ll follow you back,” he said, dismayed by my ignorance. My focus was now fixed on increasing the number of followers and likes. In the winter, I shot my pugs prancing in the snow, wrapped in colourful scarves and coats: 50 likes. An improvement, but I had to do better. I studied some of the other pugs I was following. The Pugdashians had an entire room dedicated to their costumes. Dresses. Jewellery. Wigs. I couldn’t compete with that level of dedication and financial investment. But humour also seemed to be a key ingredient in their posts.

The pressure to be creative and original was never-ending. Everyday had a theme: Sunday Funday, Matchy Monday, Tongue out Tuesday. The latter was my favourite, some pugs simply yawned, while others licked ice-cream cones or latte foam or another pug’s ear.
