Hi Stacey,
You might contact your favorite rescue,  I am sure that they could supply you with some unique pug photos of their senior pugs.

69 scrapbook pages were submitted.  It took us a week to organize and photograph them for the website. 
They will be delivered to the judges at the scrapbook store this morning. 
Every single page displayed the great love that rescuers have in their heart for senior pugs.
They are all beautiful. 

I will update everyone as soon as our webmaster posts them on our website. 
The dig pictures just can not do the pages justice,  but Rick took pictures the best that he could.

Thank you for helping to promote our event.
I am sure that the rescues that win the donation will be very deserving

The following pug rescues that participated in the 2009 scrapbook contest.
