2010 Calendars Now Available
I am very happy to announce that the 2010 Owned by Pugs Calendars are now up for sale. The pugs were very happy to greet the UPS man when he delivered the many boxes this afternoon.
Each year, one of the last things I do before I send the calendars off to the printer is I take a picture of each one of the pugs for the back cover. Now, I don't know why, since I adore taking pictures of the pugs, but getting a photo of each one of the pugs for the back page of the calendar becomes an insurmountable task each year. I'm guessing its because I have already put together all of the months and the thought of even opening up photoshop to resize another picture makes me want to take a nap. The smart me would take pictures of the pugs before I even start designing the calendar, you know, when everyone is still submitting pictures, but I just can bring myself to do it. I'll end up using the picture in a blog or I will say to myself, "I can get a better picture than that."
So each year, I drag the pugs out in the yard and shoot a ton of photos just hoping to get something good. The pugs can usually sense my frustration and they almost always never cooperate. It is almost like school picture day and you know how school photos always turn out. But this year, this year was different. We got the pictures for the back page of the calendar in about 5 minutes tops. It went so smoothly that I almost considered getting a few shots for the 2011 calendar while I was out there 
Here are the pictures that we used for the calendars. I like Luna's shot the best.
Great job on the calendar, can’t wait to get mine and couple of Christmas gifts too.
