The San Diego Pug Party 2009!



The theme was Rockn' Through the Ages and it was a blast!

Hundreds of people and pugs turned out for a day filled with contests like a cupcake eating contest, pug kissing contest, costume contest, a huge raffle, all you can eat meatball pug bar and more!


We were so excited to see our friend Mindy and her pugs, Elvis and Dandy.
She is wearing a shirt with a portrait of her Elvis puggy done by our very own Nancy Medina!




Our friends Liz & Jon brought their frenchie, Henri Hopper, and their new baby boy, Noah, to the party. We were so excited to see them!

My friend Kathe Gogolewski came to see us.
We have been friends online for years and finally got to meet!

and lots of wonderful puggies!



Happy faces!


New forever homes being found!





Melanie's handmade bears were a huge hit!

We love San Diego and cannot wait until next year!

I will show you our trip to Seattle tommorow!

I also want to thank all of you for playing with Emmitt while I was away! Your special posts, comments and photos all made me happy and laugh out loud. I am very lucky to have you as friends!

It looks like you had a blast Melanie! Great show! Poor Emmitt got to miss it all but I guess he had his own fun....hee, hee!

What a great trip, Melissa! We hope you had good sales, as well. That picture of Elvis is too funny! He looks like a gymnast on the pommel horse or something. :)

Wuv,

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us Melissa, the photos and your story made me feel like I was there!
Howie said he really enjoyed visiting Emmy while you were away. Do you know anything about that? ; )

Mum was enchanted with your booth and the wonderful way you show your prices - you two are so creative.

Could you let Emmitt know that we found a DVD for him but we need to know if you already have a copy of Milo and Otis. It is one of our favorite movies and we're kind of sure you probably have already seen it. Anyway, Mum bought one and if you don't have it she would be happy to send it to Emmitt.

Love, Dozer, Dottie and Cooper
