2009 Calendar
A little over a week ago the 2009 Calendars went on sale and while it was an incredible exciting day, at the very end of it, I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief! This is our fourth year making the calendar and I am very happy how this year’s calendar turned out. The calendar contest and the accompanying calendar is really one of my favorite parts of the site. It is a chance for me to see pictures of YOUR pugs! Each day, I post something about Benjamin, Henry & Luna and share a picture and as I read all of the comments I often wonder or try to imagine things in my head of what your adorable pugs look like. The calendar is a perfect opportunity for me to see your precious pugs. So, I want to take the time to thank everyone who submitted a picture. We received over 1,000 entries this year and, trust me, I looked at each picture submitted multiple times. Narrowing down the pictures and choosing which pictures get included in the calendar is by far the hardest part. There were so many pictures I wanted to put in, but there just wasn’t enough room on the pages. Do you guys really need all those empty grid squares for notes and appointments?
As with every other year, we are donating a portion of the proceeds from the calendar sale to a pug rescue organization. This year we are working with Central Florida Pug Rescue. We have attended a few of their events and are very happy to get the chance to work with them.
On a side note, I want to share a photo of a disgruntled Henry.
Each year, I take a picture of the pugs to include somewhere in the calendar. Well, this year, Henry was not the least bit cooperative. On our first attempt to get a picture of Henry he had a silly look on his face for every picture. After about 10 pictures, I took him to go potty, and wouldn’t you know that after that he was all smiles!
Thank you to everyone who submitted pictures and has bought or is going to buy a calendar. None of this would be possible without you!
Enjoy the weekend!

Corrine I don’t envy you the task of deciding which pictures make the calendar. I would go nuts doing that.
As far as Henry goes, “When you gotta go, you gotta go, and that clicky thing was not helping me one bit”.
