Tojo has had a busy year. His humans got married, one finished her graduate program, and then the whole family moved back to New York City. What has kept him going is finding the most comfortable spot in the bed and napping the day away. Here, we see Tojo napping in both CT and NY. It's hard being a pug. 
Tojo has, perhaps, been overshadowed by the rigors of graduate school as of late. He can't believe that no one has written a blog post about him in five months.
Tojo likes to sit vigilantly by the pantry where we keep his food just in case we forget that he has already been fed breakfast and/or dinner.
I think it accurately captures the intensity/head-in-the-sand concentration that is grad school.
And perhaps you are right. At least he has his dinosaur to keep him company.
