Pug Macarons

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I'm thankful for my amazing family, the gorgeous fall weather, and my super talented friends (including my friend Mandy who surprised me with these adorable pug macarons for my birthday!)

Hope you're enjoying a cozy evening with a delicious home-cooked meal and your loved ones!

Pug Perfect Friday: True

This adorable 5-year-old female pug is currently up for adoption at my local pug rescue, Pugalug! 

Her name is True and although she has limited sight due to low tear production and abrasions from her eyelashes (God must have done a faceplant the day he built pugs), she sounds super warm and cuddly based on this description from her foster family below:  

"She is extremely friendly, but due to her limited vision, she tends to get very close to dogs and can't always see the signals that they are uncomfortable. Her adopter will have to make sure that True's good nature doesn't get her into trouble."

If you know someone who is looking for a bright and friendly pup (I sadly don't meet True's specific living requirements), I highly recommend you check out True's full profile and/or consider donating to Pugalug's general veterinary fund via CanadaHelps.org.

Happy Friday!

Special Pug Alert!

Thanks to my friend Catherine for alerting me about Tattly's 1st birthday sale for 50% off a slew of design-pretty temporary tattoos!

Conceived by Tina Roth Eisenberg (the wildly popular blogger and designer behind Swiss Miss) with the help of an all-star lineup of professional designers and illustrators, the collection features funny quotes, design geek jokes, and charming doodles from artists like Julia Rothman and Gemma Correll.

Speaking of Gemma Correll (the genius behind the Pugs not Drugs campaign), no designer series would be complete without a pug or two!

Tattly's birthday sale only lasts until this Sunday so be sure to scoop up your favourite designs before the party's over :)

PS - One more special note to bundle in with my "Special Pug Alert": Pug Island 2012 will take place next Sunday, July 22 from 11:30 am - 3:00 pm! So grab your pug and catch a ferry to Ward's Island for some fun in the sun and a very adorable sounding "Pug Beach Stroll".

Happy Saturday!

Battle of the Pugs

I unfortunately haven't had time to see The Avengers yet, but I was surprised to hear Disney's blockbuster hit has already been bumped into the #2 spot by Men in Black 2: Back in Black. 

This is bad news for the first pugvenger, who was spotted by Caleb Goellner (senior editor of Comics Alliance) at the Oregon Humane Society Pug Crawl just a couple of weekends ago.

Which of course only begs the question, which character deserves to be top pug at the Hollywood box office?

Who do you think is the best pug to save the day?

Disclaimer: In real life, Captain America is sadly not played by a pug, but by actor Chris Evans. I hear people say he's pretty cute too ;)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope your day is filled with hugs from pugs and other loved ones!

This adorable little pup begs the question: What came first...the pug or the candy corn hat?

Happy Earth Day!

Thought I'd share this adorable video from The Daily Puglet reminding us to love our planet 365 days a year.

After all, if a pug can do it (one of God's sleepiest & hungriest creatures), why can't we? :)
