Sharla Wilson and her family have just moved into an apartment building in downtown Pittsburgh, where they will be living for the next few years. After a few days of living there, the new resident started to worry about the noises behind her front door.
All the people who lived on Sharla’s floor could hear faint whimpers that grew louder until they were blood-curdling howls and wails at any time of day or night.
What could be going on in Sharla’s apartment?
Pugs are known to make a lot of weird noises, like “reverse sneezing.” It’s said by doctor Melanie, BVSC MS, “Pugs are known as brachycephalic dogs, meaning that they are short-headed and flat faces. In brachycephalic dogs, this snorting noise is common due to their elongated soft palates.”
Sharla put an apology note on her door to ensure her neighbors didn’t get angry.
Sharla’s 11-year-old pug, Charleston Chew, is visually impaired and diabetic, so the apology was written from Charleston’s point of view. It was written with photos.
“Hello, Neighbors! My name is Charleston Chew and I’m very sorry for my howling. I’m an old man now, with cataracts, and sometimes I get real scared because I can’t see where I am and can’t find my mom. As I get used to my new place, I will start to settle down. Thanks for being patient with me. I don’t mean to be such a pain,” his owner wrote from Charleston Chew’s perspective.
Megan Jones lives in Sharla’s building. She saw the sign on the door of the person who lived there. She was so excited that she took a picture and put it on Twitter, where it quickly went viral.
