If you are anything like me, you probably get bombarded with all kinds of credit card offers each day. Most of the time, I feed all of the offers right into my shredder, but this one caught my eye. The PetRewards Visa card not only lets you put your pet’s photo on the card, but it also has a rewards program geared towards animal lovers. The card lets you turn your reward points into discount certificates for pet food, veterinary services or donations to animal shelters.
For complete details check out the PetRewards Visa card website.

A new bill that requires state leaders to include pet owners in emergency evacuation plans went before the House on Monday. State and local preparedness offices that fail to include plans for the evacuation of pets and service animals would not qualify for FEMA grants. If the bill passes, evacuation plans that include pets would be a huge incentive for residents in danger to evacuate. A recent Zogby International poll found that “49 percent of adults say they would refuse to evacuate if they couldn’t take their pets with them.”

There is nothing I like more than a cool pug design. A while back we set out to create a unique pug character made out of the letters “p-u-g-s” so there would be no confusion as to our favorite breed. I am extremely happy to announce that the Pugs Pug design is available on a variety of different items such as t-shirts, stickers and bibs in six different colors. Check out all the items in the OwnedByPugs store.
Pick your favorite and spell it out the world - you’re a pug lover!

A Pug’s Life: The Dogumentary is a short film by Marilyn and Chuck Braverman that tells the story of fascinating pugs living in California, New York and London. The film also features Frank the pug of Men In Black fame and Frank’s trainers.
The film is great for any pug lover that just can’t get enough of pugs!

I was in a gas station the other day when I noticed a rack of sunglasses that were called Pugs Eyewear. Since I have a fascination with pugs, I of course went over to check out the display. I snapped a picture of the sunglasses with my camera phone and when I got home I did a little more research. I was able to find the company’s website - Pugs Gear.
In the store I thought the logo looked a bit like a bulldog and when I went to the site I was surprised to see pictures of a bulldog. I looked for an about page to see if I could get more info, but I couldn’t find it. Who knows, maybe the bulldog’s name is “Pugs”.
Oh, by the way, the sunglasses are for humans.
