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.

It’s that time of the year again! Time to gather up all your pictures and submit them to the Owned by Pugs’ Calendar Contest. This is our third year holding the contest and we could not be more excited to get things rolling. You can get the complete contest details here and if you have any questions please let me know.
When the calendars go on sale, a portion of the proceeds from each calendar sale will be donated to Compassionate Pug Rescue. CPR holds a very special spot in our heart because they brought little Luna into our lives. In the meantime, I am asking all those who enter the calendar contest to consider donating $5 to CPR. The donation is not mandatory and the contest is free to enter, but I would really like to be able to raise some funds for CPR before the calendars go on sale. CPR has taken in many pugs this year with very serious eye injuries and we all know how quick veterinarian bills add up.
I look forward to seeing everyone’s entries and I hope you can help me spread the word about the Calendar Contest. Please let all your pug loving friends know about the contest, too! Hopefully, we can make this the biggest and best calendar yet!

The problem appears to be fixed now. We will be making some changes over the next few days, but you should be able to access all pages and leave comments on all posts. If you have any problems please let me know.
We are currently experiencing some problems with the OBP site where some pages do not load and comments can not be made on blog posts. We are working to fix it now. We’ll be back up and running soon.

Fellow Pug Blog reader Chris was very kind and nominated the Pug Blog for a Blogger’s Choice Award in the category of Best Animal Blogger. I must say I was quite surprised when I got the e-mail and very honored to have been nominated. There is some pretty stiff competition in the category, but we are very excited just to have been nominated.
So, if you enjoy reading the Pug Blog please vote for us! Thanks!
