"I'm not paying for any of this!" ― Old Pug[source]
The Old Pug is a minor character, appearing only in the episode Granny Mobile of Bluey.
Bluey.tv Description
The Old Pug is a grouchy customer at Doreen’s garage sale and Gladys’ arch nemesis. Rude and cantankerous, the Old Pug is partial to a bargain, whacking people with her handbag, and throwing around insults.
She also blows a decent raspberry, is flush with cash, and is pretty handy on a mobility scooter. Fortunately, this cranky lady meets her match with Gladys, who takes her down a peg or two, and rescues Doreen from being swindled!
Biography
The Old Pug visited the cul-de-sac where the Bandit and Chilli Heeler, their children, and their neighbor Doreen lived while Doreen was holding a garage sale. Acting quite rudely, she blamed Doreen when she bumped a table and broke one of Doreen’s items, and refused to offer payment. She also told Chilli off when Chilli suggested that she should pay at least a little. Upon spotting the scooter Doreen had for sale, she wanted to purchase it but began to clash with Muffin Heeler in her granny persona.
When Bandit attempted to redirect the pug to Doreen, she responded rudely, and insulted him when he encouraged Doreen not to accept the pug’s offer of far less money than the scooter was worth. Fortunately, Muffin proved just as belligerent as the old pug, and eventually argued her up to paying $1200. Throughout the argument, the pug continued to act rudely towards everyone. Having at last obtained the scooter, she drove it away with a parting raspberry aimed at the Heelers and Doreen.[1]
Appearance
The Old Pug is a short elderly pug with large glasses which magnify her pupils. She wears a yellow bowler hat with a rose in the brim; a pink dress; an open red coat and carries a yellow purse. She also has a mole on her right cheek.
Personality
The Old Pug is very rude, bossy and spiteful. She insults everybody regardless of how hurtful her words are. She also has a bad temper and is quite violent as shown when she hits Bandit with her purse as he tried to escort her away from Doreen's mobility scooter. However, she appears to be somewhat out of her depth when pitted against someone who can match her bad temper.
