A WHOLE Lotta Pug LOVE Going On. . .

For the FIRST TIME ever I went to Pug Saturday right here in my home town. I didn't even know it existed until 6 months ago! So I told my Mommy that I wanted to go and see if I could find some of my FURiends. I didn't recognize anyPUGGY, as it turned out; but I had a whole lotta adventure! 
(There are a lot of pictures here. To BIGGIFY just click on the image)


Look at all those PUGS! Insane, I tell you!





There were so many really friendly humans around as well - and some non-PUGS were there as well. We arrived just after it began and there were already a dozen PUGS in attendance. I watched as more and more arrived - usually by the TWOS or THREES! At its peak, there must have been about 30 or more pugs. I have to admit I lost track after about 20. There were 2 Bostons and 3 Frenchies to round out the SmushFaces at the park.





The group is building. See the Boston at the bottom of the picture. He was SUPER hyper and approaching everyPUGGY with such energy.






Look at his FACE here! Someone let him know that his exuberance was UNDER appreciated. He was a nice dog just VERY energetic!







Pugs as far as the eye could see - almost. This woman was surrounded by a dozen pugs at one time and she didn't even have any TREATS!

This guy looks like a WOOLLY Mammoth, huh? His owner said he was all PUG, though. I bet he never gets cold when the temps drop below 40 (I know, I know - that is not cold to you snowPUGS. I am a California girl, though)!


There were pugs of all ages, sizes and colors. There was even an apricot pug and a silver pug. Can you spot them in here? In addition to pure PUGS, there were some chugs and a puggle or two.

Do you recognize this guy? That's MAX from Minnie and Max Pugs of the head-tilting video! Max was pretty cool - I even let him follow me around a little. I do NOT usually allow that but I admit I was a little STARSTRUCK. He is very very handsome. He was there with his sister Minnie (she has a green harness) and his friend Loki (a handsome devil in a tan harness)

This was the funnEST sight! The owner and his pug have identical HOODIES! Can you see it?

I have no idea who this PUG is but she was friendly so I chatted with her for a while.

This was the STRANGEST pug at the meet. I can't put my paw on it, but there was something weird about this guy. I mean, very few PUGS walk on two feet like that and . . . his . . .head. . . was. . .so. . .LARGE!

Just a couple of older pugs that I met. They were sitting on a bench.

And this is where I sat MOST OF THE MEET! Right under my Mommy #2's chair. And yes, that white blur is Molly freaking out because a Frenchie approached her.


HAPPY THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Making new FURiends is fun.

OMP, that looks like a rompin' good time, Noodles! So many varieties of pugs, too. How cool. I've never seen a pug with hair as long as that wooly mammoth - I'd like to grow my hair out like that but I'm not sure if my pop would approve. :)

Glad to hear you and Molly had such a fun time!

-Love,
Sid

P.S. I'm also super jealous that it is like SUMMER where you are!
