PUG INVASION, THE FINAL CHAPTER

DSCN1718So many pictures, so little space. I am one who has always taken tons and tons of pictures, even before the invention of digital cameras. It was nothing for me to go on a two-week vacation and come back with 35 rolls of used film needing to be developed. Well, since last year when I went totally digital, I have not developed a single print.

Funny, isn’t it? Technology has come so far as to negate my need for photo albums. And I am actually enjoying my pictures so much more in digital form, easily being able to just pull up whatever file I would like to be nostalgic about at the time.

Besides, without all these technological breakthroughs, I wouldn’t be able to share my Pug pics with you all.

We were all pretty exhausted by the end of the day, and it was just plain easier to sit on the ground to offer the girls a drink than to keep bending over.

And the girls were happy enough having a soft place to snooze on the way home.

You can tell by their faces that they are two happy Puggies.

Imagine the future: What technology would be needed to keep our Pug Divas happy on the moon? Their need for modern conveniences is overwhelming at times: always stealing the warmest, most recently vacated chair; needing dinner to be warmed perfectly and served on time (Pugs can tell time, you know. At least mine can.); preferring a fresh, cool drink of water over yesterday’s leavings. They certainly are Divas, or maybe we just let them be that way.  ☺☺☺

Then again, maybe they just let us believe we are in control.  ☺☺☺

PUG INVASION, PART THREE

P5200538When there are so many Pugs to see, as in 500 at this year’s Pug Crawl, one ends up with too many pictures, and even some video.

P5200514

P5200524

Dogs will be dogs, even if they are Divas, and there was an awful lot of , ahem, rump sniffing going on.

P5200515

Suzie getting her pearls adjusted.

P5200519

P5200529

‘Ah, Dad, make them stop. They are embarrassing me.’

P5200528

Taking out the treat bag drew a crowd.

P5200525

P5200532

This is Charlotte, as Rosie the Riveter. She took second place, but really should have taken first, in my opinion. We were all screaming and chanting, ‘Rosie, Rosie, Rosie.’

P5200537

P5200533

Shake it, baby.

P5200535

P5200544

We only hope she was dyed using an organic substance, like beet juice.

P5200548

Ok, so I ran out of room again. My ‘pooter doesn’t like to download too many pictures at a time in one post, so I am stuck with finishing off tomorrow. Besides, you don’t mind coming back to see more Pugs, right?

PUG INVASION, PART TWO

P5200506As promised, here are more wonderful Pug pics for you to ooh and aah over.

Enjoy.

Me and my best friend, with the girls.

Suzie getting some attention.

My flirty girl doing her thing. Suzie was loving up on all the boys. We don’t call her a hussy for nothing.

This little guy is a cross between a Pug and a Pomeranian. So adorable.

P5200502

And this guy is a Pug Corgi mix. This picture does not do his cuteness justice.

P5200498

P5200504

Tinker Belle

P5200508

Backyard Bob, with the slogan, “a chicken for every yard.” He didn’t win, but I thought he should have.

P5200513

If you are not a Pug person, you may not understand how contagious Pugs are. It is not uncommon for a family to have three, four, or even five Pugs.

I have so many more pictures to share that I had better save some for tomorrow. See you again. I hope you have enjoyed the pics so far.
