Want an easy and fun way to get involved in animal rescue? If so, check out Pugfessions.
What exactly is a Pugfession, you ask? The Pugfessions themselves are decorated 4x6 postcards (or anything that’s about the size of a postcard, such as a photo or paper that you trim to size) that includes a “ Pug secret,” and ideally a photo or image of a Pug. And here’s the best part of all—$1.00 for every Pugfession received goes to Animal Haven(or the rescue group of your choice.. see website for details) to help shelter dogs-and WE give the money to the shelters.. the only thing you ever pay for is the postage stamp!
All you have to do is take a pic of your beloved pug and tell us your “Pugfession”—or maybe your Pug has a confession of his or her own? Break out your scrap-booking supplies if you have them, or make a Pugfession easily on the computer. You can even make Pugfessions with a photo and a Sharpie—simple! Check out http://www.Pugfessions.com for all the info on where to send them, sample Pugfessions, and more info about other “fessions” projects. Who knows—maybe your Pug will even become famous in a Pugfessions book? But that’s just a perk—it’s all for a good cause.
This video of a sly pug getting some extra treats for himself has been around for awhile, but it still makes me laugh every time I see it. So what better way to start off the work week than with a smile from some pug antics. Enjoy!
Yesterday, I asked if anyone had any tattoos inspired by their pug and reader Danine did not disappoint. She sent in a picture of a tattoo inspired by her pug Benee.
Any other pug lovers out there sporting ink in honor of their pug?
It’s Wednesday and if the work week is already getting to you here is a little something to help you make it through hump day. A video of two 4 week old puppies playing. They are so young and utterly adorable.
My favorite part is when they both simultaneously fall over.
The April Issue of Bark magazine features an article titled Indelible Dogs by Lisa Wogan. In the article, Wogan shows some tattoos that were inspired by lovable canine companions. Not surprisingly, some of those tatts were inspired by pugs. You can see two incredible pug tattoos on the Bark blog.
Many people have the impression that pugs are not very active dogs. While this may be true of some pugs, it is certainly not true for them all. Check out Baxter, a pug that loves to go for hikes in the Rocky Mountains with his owner Allen Tiefenbach.
It is stories like these that prove that the pug is truly multum in parvo - a lot in a little.
I came across this clip on YouTube from PrimeTime Live I believe from the Fall of 2007. I think the clip does a pretty good job of showing the spirit of the pug lover. My favorite line for the video is from Margo Kauffman,
“The pug owner has a predisposition for lunacy, otherwise you would not become enslaved to a dog that does nothing for you.”
I was at the bookstore the other day when the book Eco Dog caught my eye. I picked it up and started flipping through it and after just glimpsing at a few pages I knew I would be buying this book.
Eco Dog is an easy to read book that focuses on healthy and natural living in all aspects of your dog’s life. I love how the book is very informative and yet so easy to read. Plus, each section of the book has little projects that you can tackle at home. From nutritious recipes for food and treats to ideas for making dog toys. There are several projects that I have bookmarked that I can’t wait to start. When I do them I will be sure to write about them on the Pug Blog.
If you are interested in learning more about a holistic approach to caring for your pug, Eco Dog is a great starting point. It is informative without being overwhelming and gives you a great base for further research.
