It was a sad weekend here in the OBP household. We had our German Shepard cousin, Boston, take his last breath. He lived near us when we lived in Maryland but it had been a while since we’d last seen him but we remember him fondly. We would take him for long walks when his own mom needed a pup sitter. We visited him a few times with the boys, too. Though he was very protective of his mother, as most Shepards are, he still welcomed us all into his home and allowed the boys to partake in leg-lifting adventures in the back yard and even shared his prized chicken jerky treats. It was very unfortunate that cousin Luna never had the opportunity to meet cousin Boston. The two would have been fast friends, as well. Bozzy, as he was affectionately referred to, was the light of his mama’s life. He was a loyal and loving companion, a guardian and a best friend. It is with heavy heart we mourn his passing.

Great news! On Friday, Benjamin & Henry were named the winners of PetSource’s Halloween Costume Contest! Which means Compassionate Pug Rescue will receive $1,000!
I can not thank all of the blog readers and pug lovers that voted for us enough. It means so much that you cast your vote for us! We are thrilled with the win and without you this would have never been possible. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
For the boys & Luna the weekend was one big celebration. We made a special point to get some pumpkin bread and on Sunday afternoon we went to the beach. Plenty of photos and a little video of them enjoying their pumpkin bread to follow later in the week.

Hello everyone! Thanks to all that have voted for Benjamin & Henry in the PetSource Halloween Costume Contest. The boys are currently in the lead, but there is a new “Sheriff” that is catching up quick! If you have the time please drop by and vote for the boys. You can vote up to one time a day and I believe the contest runs until Halloween. After you register the first time, voting is a lot easier. The quickest way to find the boys is to sort by Most Voted. Hopefully, we will still be at the top 
The boys are dressed as Batman & Robin
If we win, $1,000 goes to Compassionate Pug Rescue. We would love to be able to win the money for them.
Thanks so much!

I just entered a picture of Benjamin & Henry into PetSource.com’s Halloween Costume Contest. The entry that gets the most votes gets a $1,000 donation to the animal charity of their choice. We would love to win and send $1,000 to Compassionate Pug Rescue. They nursed little Luna back to health and they have have recently helped so many pugs that were in need of costly medical attention. So if you can, please drop by and cast a vote for Benjamin & Henry in Luna’s honor! You can vote one time per day.
For some reason, I can’t link directly to our entry. But right now it is on the front page if you sort by newest.

I just want to remind everyone that today is the last day to submit pictures to the Owned by Pugs Calendar Contest. So if you haven’t submitted your photos yet, get them in. Also, I would like to send a big Thank You to everyone that donated to Compassionate Pug Rescue. Your generosity means a lot to me and to CPR, but most of all it truly makes a difference to the pugs.
Take care and have a great weekend!

Earlier this month, Animal Services contacted Compassionate Pug Rescue to let them know that they had just received a pug that had been hit by a car. Because of the severity of the young pug’s injuries, Animal Services would be forced to put down the pug. CPR swooped in and took the young pug from Animal Control and set off to get her the care that she needed for her injuries.
X-Rays revealed that Angel had an upper hip fracture, a fractured pelvic bone, and a left femur fractured in three different areas. It was determined that precious Angel would need two surgeries because the surgeon thought trying to fix everything at once was more than the sweet little girl could probably endure.
Angel’s first surgery was on August 3, 2007 and her second surgery was on August 6, 2007. Angel has a lot of physical therapy to undergo in the upcoming months, but the Dr.’s prognosis for the future is very bright for sweet Angel.
As you can only imagine, the cost of Angel’s surgeries is much more than a small rescue organization can support. Now more than ever, CPR needs the support of Pug Lovers everywhere! A donation of any size goes a long way in helping to pay for Angel’s medical costs.
Thanks to CPR, Angel now has a whole life of pug living to do.
You can make a donation to the Compassionate Pug Rescue Angel Fund from Compassionate Pug Rescue’s Website. Donations can be made via PayPal or checks may be mailed directly to Compassionate Pug Rescue.
I would like to give a big thank you to all those who donated money to CPR for the calendar contest. Please know that your donations are being applied to the Angel fund and are helping this sweet girl on the road to recovery.
