Archie's 1st Beauty Question...




Hi everyone!


It is me...

R-Chee!


I have a question for you...


When answering, please be honest...


Now, that I am ONE, do my pug wrinkles look more wrinkly?


Here is my forehead...


What do you think?


because from this angle, I still have a bulbus baby head!


I am a full grown puggy now!


I NEED wrinkles!



Hmmmm...


How do I get more deep wrinkles?


I know!


Wrinkles are beeeeautiful!


So I will take a Beauty Nap and wake up all wrinkly!


What are some other ways I can get deep wrinkles and folds?


Please leave me a note with all of your beauty secrets!


I want to be a perfect as all of you!



Before I fall asleep...

I have to show you the new painting my Auntie Melly got for me for my Birthday!


It is a Brianna Blue Studio original!


Thank you Auntie Melly for commissioning Beth to make it for us!


It is the perfect way to remember my special day!



... and that is not all!



Please tune in tomorrow and I will show you my other new toy from Auntie Melanie!

Woofie Warmer Wednesday ~ Annie has Frosting in the Center!



Hi everyone!


Happy Wednesday!


Archie and I are so excited to feature fashion expert, Annie Medina today!


She is simply delicious in her Chocolate Cupcake inspired Woofie Warmer!


Her mom, Nancy, is an amazing artist and takes her with her to all of her Gallery Events.


Annie says now she has the perfect accessory to wear at all of the openings! :)




Pink collar/ Chocolate Brown trim / White bobbles



Woofie Warmers are a brand new accessory we just added to to the Pug Notes Fashion Line!


Archie and I were inspired by all of you to create this wonderful new design to bring warmth and hugs to your dogs.


You have been asking and we have been listening!


Many customers over the years have asked for a crocheted warming hug for their doggies that do not wear hats and sweaters & for larger canine family members that do not quite fit in the 36 lb weight limit of the Dog Sweater Vests.


I custom make each Woofie Warmer for you to order!


Woofie Warmer Dog Neck Warmers are comfy and warm for dogs of ALL sizes!


When ordering your Woofie Warmer, I just need to know your dog's


Breed
Weight
Neck Size


to know what size to custom make for you.


And...


You get to choose the 3 colors for the ...
Collar / Trim / Bobbles



If you would like Archie and I to make you your very own Woofie Warmer, please feel free to visit the Woofie Warmer Gallery ~ http://www.woofiewarmer.com/ ~ for inspiration and my Etsy Shop to order!


Please also feel free to contact me anytime with any questions!

Fred Langer Photography ~ Downtown Denver Shoot




Hi everyone!


Happy Thursday!


Fred recently had an evening shoot in Downtown Denver and captured these wonderful photos!










Not only do I LOVE the images, but I am awed by his talent in processing each image from the camera to a finished work of art!


He learned how to do all of this from reading lots of books and taking a few workshops. :)


He is truly inspiring to me!


He leaves for Panama tomorrow for a week so I will have lots of new photos to show you soon!


I cannot wait to see what he sees!


R-Chee and I will keep you updated!


What fun trips do you have planned this year?


Are you going to a Pug Fest, tropical island, or to visit family?


Please leave us a note and let us know!


We cannot wait to hear all about your plans!
