Hey Kellie!
Of course I am very partial in telling you that i think you should get a boston, but i guess I should be fair........
I really like pugs, too, and that is what i wanted to buy when we decided to get a dog. My husband wanted a Jack Russell, i wanted a pug, so we got on the AKC website and started searching for a compromise........a boston!
I have baby-sat a pug before, and honestly i think personality wise the two breeds are very similar. They both are very people/family oriented and they both love attention and playtime!!
The only negatives i can offer for a pug (in my experience) is that they lose their hair more(and it's a little longer) than our BT's and they can be really susceptible to breathing problems. I think BT's can too, but i'm not sure on the statistics.

I hope that was at least a little helpful! So, now go get your Boston!!!
