Inside Joke

Putting together the annual Owned by Pugs calendar is one of my favorites parts of the site.  However, there is something about going through thousands of photos and cropping and resizing hundreds of pictures for hours on end that makes me a little punchy.  From the first year the calendar contest was held, I have always had myself a good laugh at the number of pictures I get that are mainly of a person’s foot with a little pug head in the corner or are more shoe than pug.  Heck, once we even got a picture of just feet with no pug in sight.  Now, please don’t take this the wrong way.  I’m not knocking any of the pictures, I’m just saying they make me laugh.  After you have been working on the computer for 12 hours straight and you keep flipping through pictures and the recurring theme is feet instead of pugs, well, it is quite funny.
