In an effort to make commenting a bit easier, I removed the CAPTCHA (the word you had to type) from the comment form. The main purpose of the CAPTCHA was to cut down on the amount of comment spam. I am trying a different approach that should also reduce comment spam and also make commenting a bit easier for all those commenting for the right reasons. I will still be moderating the comments, so there could be a small delay before your comment appears on the website. If the new spam filter works well, I may remove the moderation process, but, for now I am going to keep moderation in place while we test things out.
If you have any problems adding any comments send me an email (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) and I will help you out.

Believe it or not it is almost the end of April and that means there are only a few more days left to shop at Pugpossessed's Etsy shop and have it benefit the Sol Sunshine Memorial fund. So, if you are thinking of making any purchases you have until April 30, 2010. $5 from each sale will be donated to Sol's fund setup to help the hospice pugs of Central Florida Pug Rescue.

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.

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.

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.

Can you believe it? It is time to open up the 2010 Calendar Contest to submissions. My how time flies!
The format of the contest is the same as previous years. You submit your adorable pug pictures during the month of August, I sort through and create the calendar during the month of September and the calendars go on sale in early October.
So I challenge you to inundate me with adorable pug pictures!
You can find all the contest details here and you can submit your picture to the calendar contest here.
As always, a portion of the proceeds from each calendar sale will benefit pug rescue. This year we have teamed up with the good folks at Central Florida Pug Rescue.

So, today was a fun day. You may have noticed that the site was extremely slow this morning and if you happened to try to get to the site sometime after about 11:45 AM the site was completely down. I’ll spare you the mundane details, but we had to make a switch to a new server today. It was something I was planning to do over the weekend, but the issue was kinda forced today, so I had to start the move early. Everything is up and running except for the Pug Pictures and the Daily Pug Pictures. There are over 4,000 photos in the Pug Picture gallery and I am still in the process of getting them transfered over to the new server. Hopefully, I will have that completed by the end of the weekend.
Also, if you sent me an email anytime today or late last night I did not receive it. Email was down for me the entire day.
I apologize for the interruption and will do my best to get everything back in tip top shape.
