Pugs in the Park ~ 2012

 

Hi everyone!

 

It is me...

R-Chee!

 

I am so excited to tell you about the Colorado Pug Rescue's annual Pug Party ~ Pugs in The Park ~ I went to with my pawrents this past weekend!

 

It was so much FUN to meet so many puggies and people all in one place!

 

CPR did a wonderful job of organizing the party with lots of vendors to visit, events to enter and contests to win!

 

This puggy entered the costume contest as a plate full of spaghetti & meatballs!

 

How deeeelicious is that?

 

This puggy is getting ready to run through the Pug Olympics obstacle race!

 

... and these 3 puggies cannot wait to enter the 2nd wave of the hot dog eating contest!

 

The were so many contestants that they had to do it in two heats of competition!

 

Here I am listening to my momma tell me what a good boy I am! :)

She was very proud of me that I was so well behaved the whole day!

 

She rewarded me with lots of Cheerios all afternoon! :)

 

 

I had a great day & made so many new friends

 

... but I could tell I am still learning my social skills!

 

Silly me... I did not know it at the time, but I was involved in a dramatic love triangle!

 

It all started when this cute little girl greeted me with a big smile when I said hello!

 

 

...but alas this was her boyfriend, and he did not want me to hang out with them too long!

 

He blew lots of raspberries at me from the playing field.

 

I quickly got the message and went on my way!

 

 

At the end of the day, I waved goodbye to these 3 chaps as their pawrents took them home after a FUN day in the sun!

 

I think the one on the end had one too many hot dog pieces! :)

 

What a fabulous day and fundraiser the Colorado Pug Rescue set up for all of us to enjoy!

 

Thank you to them & all of the rescues out there who work so hard for all of us!

 

The love & dedication every single rescue person has to saving needy animals is simply magical!

 

*It is truly the yummy stuff of life that I think makes the world go round and round! :) *

Friday Funnies ~ Archie The Social Butterfly (at Pugs in the Park 2011)

Hi everyone!

It is me... Archie!

I am so excited to show you the very first Pug Party I went to hosted by The Colorado Pug Rescue!

Pugs in the Park ~ 2011

It was amazing!

I have never seen so many pugs before!

There were fun booths to shop, food to eat and lots of games and contests to enter in and prizes to win!

Here we are arriving at Denver City Park!

There was so much to see and share that Dad pulled out his camera and starting snapping photos!

I immediately dove right in and tried to talk to and play with every puggy!

Being my very first social event, I think my intentions were good, but my technique was a little rough around the edges. :)

Momma pulled me aside and had a little talk with me about how to say hello and introduce myself politely before playing with new friends.

I took some time to rethink my approach...

This cute little guy looked like he was trying to get away with something too!

Looks like the newbies have alot to learn. :)

But... there was no time for feelin' bad because at 3:00 something super FUN happened!

An announcement went over the speaker system and...

POOF!

All the puggies turned into something else!

This puggy turned into a T- Rex!

These GUYs are crazy funny!

Poof... Monkey

Poof... Rock Star

Poof... Fire Hydrant!

Poof... Bunch of Grapes

Poof... A Prize Fighter!

Oh my gosh!

All these costume changes are making me dizzy!

I didn't have a costume to enter the contest this year so I sat on the grass with mom and...

CHEERED!

(I am not laughing at them... really I am not!)

Tee Hee! :)

Have a super duper weekend everyone!

What do you have planned?

Please leave me and note and let me know!

Fabulous Friends and Fashion Models!

Tweedles & me :)

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday!

Today's post is so much fun for me to write because I get to see all of photos of the friends I got to hug in person at the Seattle Pug Party!

How did I get so lucky to have all of you as friends?

I wish I could travel all over the country and hug you all.

Until I can do that, let me show you the photos of Tweedles & her moms, Georgie & Paulette, Diane, Gail & Kong, Judy, Joan and Skippy and Lise & Winston who even crossed the border from Canada to come to the party. :)

The first two photos are of me with Tweedles! Georgie and I have been blog friends for over a year and a half and we finally got to meet in person! They made the drive from Oregon.

Judy (Puglette) and me



Joan & Skippy of Linden Line Designs!

Skippy Wu!

Lise, Winston & me

Georgie, Tweedles, Paulette, Gail, Diane and me :)

Gail's puggy, Kong :)

Diane came to Seattle from CA to see her sister, Gail and to meet their dear blog friends Tweedles & her moms too.

What a wonderful community we have all built together!

I am very lucky to have you all as friends!

Kong & Tweedles were so sweet to wear their Sweater Vests at the party.

I also wanted to show you the other cute models I snapped at both the San Diego and Seattle Shows...

Meet Timmy!

He is modelling 3 sweaters for us today...

Isn't he a cute Cup O' Coffee

Orange Crush

and Lady Bug :)

Chelsea loved the Green Tea Vest

and these two cutie patooties didn't leave their names, but were kind enough to be models for me.

:)

Next week I will show you more sweater vest sighting from our friends in IL, PA, OR and CO!

I also have a new Sweater Vest Collection to unveil to you.

It will be a fabulous week!

I cannot wait!
