The best thing about YouTube is that anyone can do it, and that's exactly what I did.

We're all trapped in the digital world. It's filled with cat videos, and you have to dodge comments about how much you stink.

Keeping it clean is important to me because I'm just aware of my audience. My audience is a younger generation and, just in general, I wouldn't want to show my mom a video of me swearing like crazy. It's good clean fun.

I feel like I've got really good rapport with parents. They always say I'm a YouTuber they can feel safe just letting their kids watch.

I think pugs are actually the perfect dog for YouTubers, just because they're lapdogs. YouTubers spend a lot of time at home, and they're perfect companion dogs. When you need to work, they don't mind. They love sleeping!

When I do fan meet-ups, the pugs usually end up getting more gifts than me!
