A Little Late
I just wanted to let everyone know that today's blog post is going to be late. I should have something posted by this evening.

Sol Sunshine Memorial Fund Update
A few weeks ago, Central Florida Pug Rescue sent me an update on the hospice pugs that are the beneficiaries to the Sol Sunshine Memorial Fund.
For example, the fund is being used for Jenny's monthly shots and for medicines, special foods and regular checkups for the other pugs in hospice. While reading the email, it was such a good feeling to know that Solsey is still doing good in this world. She can't be here to make me smile with her goofy antics, but it makes me smile to know that Solsey plays an itty bitty, tiny, little part in helping other senior pugs live it up in retirement.
Monetary donations to the fund go a long way, but donation of other items are also a big help. Here are a few of the items the senior pugs could use:
- Pastel colored yoga mats (we cut them up to make easy-clean pads for the seniors)
- Egg-crate foam sheets (we use the foam to make orthopedic beds)
- Raised dog bowls, for the pugs with severe arthritis and joint problems
- Frontline and Heartguard medications, as the older ones have trouble tolerating ivermectin and some of the other newer meds for heart worm and fleas
If you have any of these items and would like to make a donation, you can send them to:
CFPR
P.O. Box 953744
Lake Mary, FL 32795-3744
Or if you are in the Central Florida area call the pug line at 407-756-4998 to arrange for pickup or delivery.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thank you for all your support. Without you, the Sol Sunshine Memorial Fund would not be possible.

Stats
If you haven't realized that I am a huge dork, you soon will. A few posts ago, we got to talking about how often we bathe our pugs in the comments. This got me thinking about Daytum, a website I came across about a year ago for tracking personal data.
So, I decided to share the account that I created for the pugs that I have been using since the first of the year, to track things like our walks, the fun places we visit and other pug related items. I am going to put a link in the sidebar, so if you are ever interested in how many walks the pugs have been on in 2011, or how many baths they have had this year you can find out.

Calendar Sale & More
I'm not sure exactly where time has gone, but we are already at the end of January. So, today, I am putting the 2011 Owned by Pugs calendars on sale for $10. That is 50% off, plus, $5 from each calendar sale is still going to the pug rescue organization you select when you purchase a calendar.
In other news, it is with a sad heart that I announce that I will be closing H. Doodle. I opened the store in 2006 full of excitement and high hopes, but unfortunately over the last few years I have not always had the time needed to make the store all that it could be. I have been wrestling with the decision for a while now, but have finally made the hard choice to close the store.
But, the bright side is there are a lot of great dog items for sale at a great price. I am in the process of marking things down for quick sale, so not all products have been updated yet. If you see an item that you would like and the I haven't updated the price yet send an email to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and we can talk about the price. Or if you would like to barter, email me.
I truly appreciate each and every one of you that have shopped at the store over the years. I really wish we could keep going and make the store as great as it could be, but unfortunately time just isn't on my side with this one.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

2011 Owned by Pugs Calendar
I am having some technical difficulties this morning that makes getting a new picture up a bit of a challenge, so I thought this would be a good time to update everyone on the 2011 Owned by Pugs Calendar.
Calendars are now shipping and as November wrapped up, I did a quick tally and I am happy to report that so far a total of $605 has been raised for the participating pug rescue organizations. The $605 will be divided amongst each of the participating pug rescue organizations based on the rescue group selected when a calendar sale was made.
Thank you for all your support and kind words about the calendar. I hope you enjoy it throughout 2011!

Calendar Outtake - Luna
When I was shooting the pictures of the pugs for the back page of the 2011 calendar, Henry was feeling a little silly and Luna must have thought that she had some lunch left on her nose. I have a series of shots of the little girl licking her nose.
Calendar Update: The 2011 Calendar is currently being printed. I approved the proof earlier in the week and printing is now in full force. I expect the calendars will go on sale starting November 22, 2010. I will send out emails to everyone with a picture in the calendar on or around November 15, 2010.
Have a great weekend!
