Pugs In The City Part 3 of 4
This is about the pug party! After a long day of train riding, pirate museuming, walking the city and just overall being awake and active, Henry still had a party to attend! He had a few bites of food and tried on his Pirate costume. Which after we got to St. Augustine, I realized I had packed the wrong costume. When Henry lost his eye in 2014, we planned ahead and bought Pirate costumes for all 3 pugs - Benjamin, Henry and Luna. Sadly, by the time Halloween rolled around only Henry remained and he was not really in the mood for tricking and treating, but he still made his rounds that year. The costume that Henry wore last year was a mix and match of his own and Benjamin's. And what I realized that I had packed were the "leftover" pirate pieces. But, we had what we had so we just made do and brought the costume with us. We knew that Henry would not wear the costume for very long, so our plan was to suit him up right before the contest. That was the plan.
We were at the part somewhere between an hour and hour and half when we realized that Henry was done for the day. The party, being an outdoor event (in a wonderfully decorated and arranged yard) was in the evening. And when darkness sets in Henry's world, especially on a day with little time for rest, he tends to melt down a bit. To his credit, Henry's meltdowns are few and far between now and we are getting better at cutting them off before they start as long as we are around when they begin. At the party, he was becoming disoriented, but knew enough to keep walking towards the front gate from whence we came. So, missing the door prizes, the auction and the costume contest, we took Henry's lead and headed back to the hotel.
While we were there, though, we met a lot of nice people (none of which have names that I can recall!) but this is the place where everyone got much more social and opened up about their pugs. They shared info about their personalities, their health, the ones they loved and lost and it was just a super fun time. CFPR's Ann hosted a seriously wonderful event! We have included some photos to show Ann sharing puppy pops (one in each hand and one dog per pop!) And Ann was gracious enough to allow Henry a few licks of one of the pops! The pops were a hit!

What a great event for furry one and their peeps! That is a precious photo of Henry zonked out.
Henry is an awesome pirate!!
What a wonderful adventure for Henry and his humans!
And I love a passed out pug. You can really get in some nibbles on the ears when they are out like that. After all, the ears are the tastiest part of the pug!!! #HenryRocksItLikeAPirate
Henry is one very adorable passed out pug, no ifs ands or buts.
Perhaps packing the wrong costume was a sign that Henry was not going to be up for the contest, but you know what? Regardless, he is still super handsome, whether he wears a costume or is just in his birthday suit. He is always a winner.
what a wonderful event Henry sure zonked out our big event Pug Rescue of Florida is next saturday November 7 in Orlando
Henry seems to have done remarkably well considering all the activity. Looks and sounds like a wonderful pug event and without a doubt Henry was the most precious pug in attendance. It is on my bucket list to attend a pug event at the DFW pug rescue. Unfortunately I don’t drive in that traffic anymore. My only hope is sweet talking and maybe bribing my granddaughter.
If you were to go up and open Henry’s eyelids, it would say “OUT COLD” just like in the old cartoons! That is one tuckered out Puggy.
So glad that you got to go and enjoy the party for awhile. It looks like it was a wonderful event and the fact that they raised money for the rescue is just epic!

From the pictures, I can see how cool the decorations were! Very, very nice, and I think Ann rocks to have puppy pops!!
Henry was a fantastic pirate, whether or not that was the intended outfit! And I got a chuckle out of the fact that you have enough pirate clothing and accessories that it’s even possible to GET mixed up and bring the wrong outfit ; )
It’s a great picture of Henry in the costume, though! He’s got his great big Henry smile on his face, looking all handsome!
And as for the sleeping picture! Precious!!!

Looks like Henry & peeps had a great time. Love the pic of Henry sleeping so comfortably no doubt dreaming of all the fun that was had by all. Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 2
I thought his costume was cute…course anything on Henry looks cute:) It’s too bad he didn’t make the contest…he would have been a sure winner:) The pic of Henry snoozing hard is just priceless…no way to look at it and not smile:)
Hank, you are a wonderful pirate roll model! Sounds like it was a super busy day, so I don’t blame Henry for wanting to go home and take advantage of a good night’s sleep! What a handsome pirate!
Henry, you are one adorable pirate, even though your costume contained the leftovers! I am proud of you for making it through all those activities, and whoa, you do take adorable sleeping photos!
So, this pug mama is going on a month, with no laptop!!! This blows. No other way around it. Cell phone just doesn’t cut it!
henry is an adorable pirate. I love reading these stories about your adventures with Henry!
