I have been getting emails wondering about the 2009 Calendar. Here is the scoop. The calendar is currently at the printer. It went to print in the early morning hours of September 27th. The target completion date from the printer is October 13th. Add on shipping time from California and the calendars are tentatively scheduled to arrive on October 16th. Which means they will most likely go on sale the evening of October 16th or October 17th barring there are no issues with printing or shipping. I was thinking about doing a pre-sale when the calendars shipped so that I could get a head start on getting things ready to ship on my end. What do you think about that? Would you be interested in a pre-sale?
On an unrelated note, here are just a few pics of the pugs doing their thing.
Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy all the colors of Fall this weekend. That is the one thing I really do miss living in Florida. There is no Fall here!

It’s that time again! Time for the 2009 OBP Calendar Contest! It is hard to believe that this is our fourth year of doing the contest. It is quite a task, but I just love looking at all the photos throughout the year.
So, gather up all your adorable pug photos and get them submitted. And, as always, a portion of the proceeds from the calendar sales will benefit pug rescue.

I just want to remind everyone that today is the last day to submit pictures to the Owned by Pugs Calendar Contest. So if you haven’t submitted your photos yet, get them in. Also, I would like to send a big Thank You to everyone that donated to Compassionate Pug Rescue. Your generosity means a lot to me and to CPR, but most of all it truly makes a difference to the pugs.
Take care and have a great weekend!

It’s that time of the year again! Time to gather up all your pictures and submit them to the Owned by Pugs’ Calendar Contest. This is our third year holding the contest and we could not be more excited to get things rolling. You can get the complete contest details here and if you have any questions please let me know.
When the calendars go on sale, a portion of the proceeds from each calendar sale will be donated to Compassionate Pug Rescue. CPR holds a very special spot in our heart because they brought little Luna into our lives. In the meantime, I am asking all those who enter the calendar contest to consider donating $5 to CPR. The donation is not mandatory and the contest is free to enter, but I would really like to be able to raise some funds for CPR before the calendars go on sale. CPR has taken in many pugs this year with very serious eye injuries and we all know how quick veterinarian bills add up.
I look forward to seeing everyone’s entries and I hope you can help me spread the word about the Calendar Contest. Please let all your pug loving friends know about the contest, too! Hopefully, we can make this the biggest and best calendar yet!

After receiving over 350 entries and sorting through all of the adorable pictures the OwnedByPugs.com 2006 Calendars are now available for sale!
I would like to sincerely thank all of those who submitted pictures to the calendar contest. While I was going through all the pictures, I just kept thinking that OwnedByPugs.com visitors have some cute pugs! Thank you so much for sharing all of your pictures with us!
Also, don’t forget that a portion of the proceeds from the calendar sales will benefit the Maryland Pug Rescue. The Maryland Pug Rescue was kind enough to share with me a little more about their work:
Maryland Pug Rescue has saved over 50 pugs since our official formation in January, 2005! For those of us who love our pugs like full-fledged members of our families, it is unimaginable that so many pugs could wind up homeless and unwanted. Although all of our rescued pugs are each extraordinary in their own way, a few stand out in our minds. One such pug is Waldo. Named for “Where’s Waldo,” this fawn boy was found wandering the streets of Baltimore, foraging for food, and severely injured after being attacked by other stray animals. The good samaritan that took Waldo off
the streets found him when she nearly struck him with her car. She told us that he was old and frail and may not survive. Despite this grim prognosis, we did not hesitate to make Waldo a Maryland Pug Rescue pug. As it turned out, although Waldo had deep bite wounds that had become infected, once his injuries were treated, and he was neutered, we discovered he was a spunky, healthy young adult pug. After several months of TLC from his foster parents, Waldo was adopted to the perfect family, who recently lost a cherished pug.
Another remarkable pug rescued by MPR is Sammie. Sammie is a true hermaphroditic pug. In other words, she was born with both male and female reproductive organs. Sammie was surrendered for chronic housebreaking issues, a common problem with this disorder. Sammie was both spayed and neutered, and adopted to a wonderful couple who understands their unique little puggy. They immediately renamed her “Sunny,” for her bright and shining personality. As we expected, Sammie has also conquered her
housebreaking problems.
Waldo and Sammie are just two of the many endearing pugs rescued by Maryland Pug Rescue. The pugs we have taken in range from puppymill survivors, to improvident pet store purchases, to beloved pugs who lost their homes for reasons unforeseen by their owners. In addition to finding forever homes for rescued pugs, Maryland Pug Rescue is a sanctuary for pugs that are essentially unadoptable, due to age, health or temperament.
Currently, Maryland Pug Rescue cares for five such “hospice” pugs. They are with us because of paralysis, heart disease, blindness, and, in one case, neurological impairment. It is our goal to provide a loving, home environment for these pugs, and, when it is their time, a dignified death.
So when you buy a calendar not only will you be getting a calendar packed full of adorable pug pictures but you will also be helping to support the wonderful work of the Maryland Pug Rescue.
