Remember Cujo the Flyball Pug that we first told you about in February 2007? When we first wrote about Cujo he was ranked 3rd amongst pugs registered with the North American Flyball Associate (NAFA).
Well, I am happy to report that Cujo is now ranked 1st among pugs registered with NAFA! Way to go Cujo! Click here to see some pictures of Cujo in action in one of his recent tournaments.

Want an easy and fun way to get involved in animal rescue? If so, check out Pugfessions.
What exactly is a Pugfession, you ask? The Pugfessions themselves are decorated 4x6 postcards (or anything that’s about the size of a postcard, such as a photo or paper that you trim to size) that includes a “ Pug secret,” and ideally a photo or image of a Pug. And here’s the best part of all—$1.00 for every Pugfession received goes to Animal Haven(or the rescue group of your choice.. see website for details) to help shelter dogs-and WE give the money to the shelters.. the only thing you ever pay for is the postage stamp!
All you have to do is take a pic of your beloved pug and tell us your “Pugfession”—or maybe your Pug has a confession of his or her own? Break out your scrap-booking supplies if you have them, or make a Pugfession easily on the computer. You can even make Pugfessions with a photo and a Sharpie—simple! Check out www.Pugfessions.com for all the info on where to send them, sample Pugfessions, and more info about other “fessions” projects. Who knows—maybe your Pug will even become famous in a Pugfessions book? But that’s just a perk—it’s all for a good cause.

Pugs always love to be part of the action, but sometimes they just can’t manage to stay awake for it all.
To see more videos of animals falling asleep check out Buzzfeed’s roundup.

When I got Benjamin & Henry I had no idea about the horror of puppy mills. I have since learned a lot about the horrendous breeding conditions that exist in puppy mills.
Today, Oprah will be talking about puppy mills and discussing the cruel realities of the puppy industry. As animal lovers this is going to be a hard show to watch, but I think having Oprah tackle this issue is going to go a long way in raising the awareness of puppy mills.
Tune in if you can.
