Ask OBP #3

While the Ask OBP segment received a good number of comments last week, there was only one new question which was more of a technical question. This came from Marina. She had an issue posting pug pictures for the Daily Pug Picture. More specifically, she wondered if it had to do with the fact that she uses a Mac.

Marina, I'm very glad you asked this question. We have not been getting very many pug picture submissions lately and I wonder if it could be due to a technical glitch. The main limiting factor for uploading pictures is image size. If the picture is too large the upload will fail. You can fix this by resizing the image to make it smaller. However, if you don't have a quick way to resize your picture or that doesn't seem to clear up your issue please feel free to email us your photo: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Also, we have run out of new daily pug pictures to send in the newsletter. I know everyone out there has lots of adorable pug pictures! If you could send them in (either via the form or by emailing us) we would very much appreciate it!

Thanks for the question Marina!

We do still promise come through on a blog with some recipes and more about our home cooked food, that is a very large undertaking for us since we have not organized or recipe info in a very accessible method. So, still keep a lookout for that.

There was a question that I believe Sue VDB had asked on a comment on different post that we will address here. She asked if G-Ma and G-Pa bought the house that Henry scoped out for them a while back. Unfortunately, no. G-Ma and G-Pa decided not to buy the house.

There is another thing that I have been wanting to address but have felt uncomfortable to express in other ways, though, so I will just bring it up here. We want everyone to hopefully understand that we are not writing about Henry's comeback to drum up kudos for us as pug parents. We are overwhelmed by the positive feedback, kind words, kudos and other generous support and we are so thankful to have such supportive readers. But now we are starting to get a complex. We have never intended on writing the blog that brings us such a tribute. It has always been for an update and/or status of the pugs. And to share (hopefully) amusing stories! But especially lately with Henry's comeback, and gradual progress back to health, we feel like we may have inadvertently pulled the attention off of Henry and our worst fear is that if we have ever come off as fishing for compliments. We are seriously humbled by all the love and kindness of you all and we want to be sure that the focus remains the pug(s) ---in this case, now just Henry. We hope this is interpreted in the spirit intended, which is gracious. We love you all and we thank you for loving us peeps, but eyes back on H! He is the star of the show. We will try to be better at bringing the spotlight back to him and off us as it was never meant to be diverted in the first place. It's all about the H, the H, the H, no people (to the tune of "It's all about the Bass, no Treble")

So, back to asking OBP!! Please, ask some questions, so we can keep this party going!
