2009 Pug Calendar Contest

It’s that time again!  Time for the 2009 OBP Calendar Contest!  It is hard to believe that this is our fourth year of doing the contest.  It is quite a task, but I just love looking at all the photos throughout the year.

So, gather up all your adorable pug photos and get them submitted.  And, as always, a portion of the proceeds from the calendar sales will benefit pug rescue.

A big thanks to Carla

Thanks to Carla we can now say that the generous readers of Owned by Pugs raised $500 for Compassionate Pug Rescue in the OBP Raffle!  We hit $498 selling tickets and when Carla saw that she donated an extra $2.00 so we had a nice round number.

Thanks again everyone!

And the winner is…

Last night I drew the two lucky winners for the OBP Raffle!  Before I announce the winners I want to express once again how grateful I am to everyone who participated.  Because of your generosity we raised $498 for Compassionate Pug Rescue!  I think that is fantastic!

So, without further ado, here are the winning raffle ticket numbers:

1st: 7200831

2nd: 7200868

I have contacted the winners via e-mail and as soon as I hear back from them I will get their prizes sent out in the mail.

Thanks again everyone for participating!  Looney would also like to thank everyone for helping out the pugs.  She knows firsthand the difference a little TLC can make!

Have a great weekend!

Romeo Update

I just wanted to share with everyone the latest from Romeo’s foster mom.

They also sent along a picture.  Take a look at this cute little fella’.

I can’t thank you enough for sending donations Romeo’s way.  Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and the Delaware Valley Pug Rescue group has opened a PayPal acount so if you would like to give you can now donate via PayPal as well.

Romeo

Romeo is a 14 month pug pup who currently is in desperate need of Liver Shunt surgery. The surgery Romeo needs costs $5,000.  Without the surgery the toxins from his liver will start to affect his nueroligical system and will eventually be fatal.

Brenda from Delaware Valley Pug Rescue e-mailed me in hopes that we can get the word out about Romeo and help raise funds to get him the life saving surgery he so desperately needs.

I’m going to be sending over a donation from Owned by Pugs and H. Doodle and if any other readers could send in a donation I know the Delaware Valley Pug rescue, along with little Romeo, would certainly appreciate it.  Whether big or small a donation of any size goes a long way in getting sweet little Romeo back on his feet so that he can live the true life of a pug pup.

If you would like to donate you can do so by sending a check made out to Delaware Valley Pug Rescue and sending it to:

Delaware Valley Pug Rescue
PO Box 861
Avondale , PA 19311.

Thank you pug lovers!

UPDATE: Last night Romeo’s health took a turn for the worse and he was rushed to the emergency vet.  He will be undergoing surgery today.  I will let you know as soon as I have an update.

UPDATE: In case you did not catch Brenda’s comment here is the latest on little Romeo:
Thank you so much for your well wishes and generosity. The other members of the rescue and especially Romeo’s foster parents were very touched by your support. Unfortunately, the surgery is on hold until we can get Romeo’s blood cell count up to a healthy level. Hopefully he’ll get his count up high enough in the next couple of days to get his surgery. Thank you for your well wishes and keep Romeo in your prayers the next couple of days

Thank You!

I just wanted to say, “Thank you” for all the kind comments left on yesterday’s post about Luna’s “Gotcha Day” (I like that term!).  I have read (and re-read them) and I am very thankful to be able to share my thoughts about Luna, Benny & Henry with all the pug lovers out there.

I have been loving all the comments lately because I feel like I am getting to know everyone out there.  So keep them coming because it is great to learn about all you wonderful people owned by pugs.

Also, many said that they have rescued a pug and I would love to hear your Rescue Story.  Just send us an e-mail and we will post it on the site.

Thanks for stopping by and reading about Benjamin, Henry & Luna.  Your comments always make my day!

Have a wonderful day, pug lovers!

A Huge Thanks to our devoted Voters and PetSource.org

I would like to THANK everyone who voted for Benjamin & Henry in the PetSource.org Halloween Costume Contest.  Because of your daily clicks the boys took home first place, earning Compassionate Pug Rescue $1,000.  Last weekend, Compassionate Pug Rescue received their check in the mail!  Hearing that news made my weekend!

So a huge thank you to all of you!  Without your daily clicks none of this would have ever been possible!
