I am working on tagging all of the Pug Blog entries to make it easier to navigate the archives. At the bottom of each post you will now see "Filed Under:" with a series of tags that follow. If you click a tag you will see all entries that have been tagged with the keyword you clicked. Tags may be sparse at the moment as I need to manually go through and add tags to each post. Currently, I have 2.5% of entries tagged and with years of posts it is going to take me a while. But, hopefully, I should have all the keywords added after a few months. Even though I am still working on tagging the entries you can still use them to make your way through old posts.
Also, my apologizes to those that subscribe to the RSS feed. There were some issues as I made a few updates to the site. If you continue to see a lot of duplicate posts please send me an email (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) and I will get it fixed as soon as I can.

For the month of April the Sol Sunshine Memorial Fund is the rescue charity for Pugpossessed's Etsy store. We are so very thrilled that Punchy has selected Sol's fund and $5 from every sale made during the month of April will be going to Solsey's fund to help senior pugs.
Many of you are already familiar with Punchy's work. She was the design mastermind behind Benjamin, Henry & Luna's Charlie Brown halloween costumes.
So be sure to check out her shop this month. She has lot of items for pugs and pug lovers alike. She even has an adorable tie set for all the boy pugs out there.

Well by now, I guess you have noticed that OBP is sporting a new look. It is a design, in one form or another, that I have been sitting on for over a year. So, I am very happy that I finally got enough oomph to push it out the door. I will still be tweaking little things here and there but if you spot any broken links or see anything odd please let me know - .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). IE6 users, I did my best for you, but you are bound to see some odd things.
Thanks for your patience while I work out all the kinks. Have a great weekend!

I try to keep the blog as pug related as possible and while it may seem that the only life I have has to do with Benjamin, Henry, Luna & Sol, I am very lucky to have a wonderful family. My nephew, Robbie, recently got engaged and we couldn't be happier for him and his fiancee, Rachel.
So why am I blabbing all this? Well, I have a very huge favor to ask. If you have a spare second would you be so kind to vote for my nephew in the Ultimate Wedding Contest? One winner from the 50 highest vote getters will be chosen by the judges and will have a dream wedding planned for them.
With your support Batman & Robin were able to rally & win the halloween contest for Compassionate Pug Rescue and it would mean the world to me if you could stop by and vote for Robbie & Rachel in the Ultimate Wedding Contest. Voting runs for 7 more weeks and you can vote once per day. If you could pop over and place a vote every now and again I would be extremely grateful.UPDATE: You can only vote once per entry. So if you could pop over and vote once I would be extremley grateful.
Thank you so very much pug lovers! I hope everyone has a great weekend. And to all those in the North East expecting snow I hope you are stocked up on milk & toilet paper.

As you read this, G-Ma & G-Pa are making the drive from Maryland to Florida. The pugs love it when G-Ma & G-Pa come to visit because their level of spoiledness jumps to a whole new level. G-Ma is always quick to dole out the treats and G-Pa has a nice big truck that the pugs love to ride in.
With all the action of next week, posting is going to be pretty light and fluffy around here. I'm going to mainly be posting pictures of the pugs and will most likely be pretty light on stories. Things will get back to normal the week after Christmas.
From all of us here in the OBP household, I hope everyone out there has a very happy and safe holiday season!

I am very happy to announce that the 2010 Owned by Pugs Calendars are now up for sale. The pugs were very happy to greet the UPS man when he delivered the many boxes this afternoon.
Each year, one of the last things I do before I send the calendars off to the printer is I take a picture of each one of the pugs for the back cover. Now, I don't know why, since I adore taking pictures of the pugs, but getting a photo of each one of the pugs for the back page of the calendar becomes an insurmountable task each year. I'm guessing its because I have already put together all of the months and the thought of even opening up photoshop to resize another picture makes me want to take a nap. The smart me would take pictures of the pugs before I even start designing the calendar, you know, when everyone is still submitting pictures, but I just can bring myself to do it. I'll end up using the picture in a blog or I will say to myself, "I can get a better picture than that."
So each year, I drag the pugs out in the yard and shoot a ton of photos just hoping to get something good. The pugs can usually sense my frustration and they almost always never cooperate. It is almost like school picture day and you know how school photos always turn out. But this year, this year was different. We got the pictures for the back page of the calendar in about 5 minutes tops. It went so smoothly that I almost considered getting a few shots for the 2011 calendar while I was out there
Here are the pictures that we used for the calendars. I like Luna's shot the best.

I was very happy this morning when I saw that the 2010 calendars have shipped from the printer and are on their way to my door. I didn't want to keep everyone in suspense any longer so I decided to post images of the calendar pages and to make them available for preorder.
Notification emails will go out early next week when the calendars arrive, so don't worry, if you haven't heard anything from me it doesn't mean that one of your pictures isn't included in the calendar.
Shipping will be free for US addresses for the month of October and if you are still interested in the 2009 Calendars we have a few of those left that are now priced at $5.
