Pug Print Check

Cappy is under my desk most of the day and the printer is above her. Each and every printed page gets a sniff check. It's her quality control. Sometimes, I'll find a page that I forgot about crunched up in her bed.

Yogi's Broken Tongue

Meet Yogi. He's a funny, chilled out 5-year old black pug with a broken tongue. He's also a local celebrity in the Nation's Capital who makes appearances at charity events, show-n-tell at local schools, and parties in the DC area.

I hope to see Yogi in a Gene Simmons outfit on a mock Kiss set.

Pug news

For our friends Up North, the Pugalug Club held a Pugtoria event. The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports on Gus the Pug and the Tribune Review remembers a man that ran a Noah's Ark for rescued pugs.

Playah hatin' cats

Ah yes, where there’s a blog for dogs, there’s one for cats; specifically, cats that hate you. A note that I don't think pugs can hate. They certainly don't like many things, like cell phone rings or pianos, but they're too laid back to hate.

Races at the Pug Gala

We were outside working the crowd, promoting Pug Blog and Clip-n-Seals and didn't see the pug races, but just got the photo from Nancy Hood, the event Organizer. Nancy was thrilled to announce that the event raised over $15,000 to aid in the medical care of rescued and homeless pugs. Over 2,300 people were estimated to be in attendance and whopping 1,000 pugs, making it the most successful Seattle Pug Gala in the ten-year history of the event. We saw plenty of costumes, what appeared to be the world's fattest pug, and a pug impostor. The impostor resembled a pug and must've had pug lineage. I was like, "hmm," but then it's all about the love, so who cares -- impostor pug and owner got some free Clip-n-Seals, just like everyone else.

Left-eyeing Me

This little face peers up at me from under the desk whenever I'm in the kitchen cooking. No matter how tired she is, eyes drooping, her left eye is on me, waiting for something to fall from the cutting board or stove. I don't know if other pugs do this, but if she hears the aerosol spray from a can of Pam nonstick, she'll run in and lick the floor for whatever over-sprayed molecules of flavor she can find.

Post Pug Gala

Cappy was burned out after the Pug Gala, slept most of the afternoon and this morning. She'd look up occasionally with the "I'm tired" look and I'd say, "go back to sleep." At the Gala, we met a ton of cool people and pugs. Thanks for all your comments and we hope you enjoy the Clip-n-Seals we gave out.

Pug Gala

Cappy and the 2 fresh crew will be at the Pug Gala this afternoon, giving out Clip-n-Seal gift packs and hanging with the other pugs. For more on the Pug Gala, check the Seattle Times article. We hope to see the Pug races. In today's photo, Cappy watches video from last year's event.

A talent for napping

Man I wish I could nap like Cappy does. She has a talent for it and also is able to find a comfortable spot just about anywhere. Today I found her in the bathroom, on a towel, just laying there about to drift off and dream of bones, digging, sniffing, and whatever else she dreams about.

Shameless Self-Promoting Pug

Cap’n tried out her new Pug Blog t-shirt yesterday. Pam made it for her with an infant shirt and sequins. Cap’n will wear it at the 2005 Pug Gala to promote the site. We’ll also have Clip-n-Seals samples and dog treats to hand out. When it comes to shameless self promotion, pugs are a natural.

Fluffy brings the pain

It's an ad, wrapped in a movie, with punk rock, but entertaining just the same. Check Dog Anxiety.

Pug sled pull

We're working on the pictures to prove it, but we discovered last night that cappy has towing talent. Pam was on rollerblades and cappy towed her around the park. Go cappy go!

Updates

Added a Brief History of Captain to the about page, more products and book recommendations.

Treat Face

It's National Pet week. I mentioned that to Cap'n this morning and she jumped up on my leg like she was down with it and/or she just wanted another treat. Her treat face is hard to resist and she's very insistent about it. Every morning it's breakfast, peanut butter on her Goodie Gripper Dog Toy, and a carrot. If you don't have any of those items or deliver them out of sync, she'll give you the treat face until you do and get it right.
