#1 Noodle the Pug is 13 Years Old
First, let’s start by explaining this Bones TikTok trend has a few components. First, there is Noodle the Pug. This adorable senior pug has lost his color and his coat is turning gray. Noodle is 13 years old and owned by Jon Graz. He has constantly has his tongue out (Noodle, not Jon.)
Then there is Jon. He adopted Noodle several years ago.

And once you learn about this whole No Bones thing – you will totally laugh because Noodle is the perfect name for this pug.
#2 TikTok Meets Noodle
The world of TikTok meets Noodle in Jon’s first TikTok video. He explains that his dog Noodle’s favorite game is called “No Bones.” With over 50 videos featuring the adorable Noodle the Pug, he has become quite popular and a viral sensation. We will talk about that later, but let’s learn more about Noodle’s No Bones Game.
#3 No Bones Game
What is the No Bones game? If you have a pug, especially one that is older – no longer a puppy, you know how lazy they can be. As pugs get older, even getting them up in the morning is a chore!

We have a 7-year-old pug, named Guy. While he isn’t necessarily hit his senior years, he is no longer a puppy! Getting him out of bed in the morning is a joke. He sleeps with our teenage boy and until the teenager gets out of bed, the pug WILL NOT get out of bed – unless he is physically removed. So much so, we have to carry him downstairs because he will not go down without assistance in the mornings. Looks like Noodle doesn’t do stairs either.

So the No Bones game is where Jon wakes Noodle the Pug up, in an attempt to see if he is going to have a good day or bad day. If you set Noodle the Pug up and he falls over, like he has no bones, it’s not going to be a good day.
If Noodle the Pug stands up – he has bones! When he stands, its a Bones Day meaning it will be a good day.

#4 Noodle Goes Viral
Since posting videos daily of Noodle the Pug and his Bones game has gone viral. Millions are watching in each day to see if Noodle the Pug is going to have a No Bones Day (bad day) or a Bones Day (a good day) all by playing the No Bones game.

Yes, this is super silly – but isn’t this what life and TikTok is about. You can’t take everything so seriously and with the crazy world we live in – these daily pug TikTok videos are a breath of fresh air and funny.
And while Noodle maybe the star – the genius is Jon for adopting this sweet pug.
Update on 10/19/21 – Jon and Noodle have hit 2.1 million TikTok followers! Congrats, you and this piece of internet happiness deserve it all.
