Pug Island!

Ahoy Mateys!

Greetings from Pug Island! After much cajoling, I finally managed to get Marco to a Pugalug Club event! WTF is a pugalug, you ask?

Pugalug Club is a non-profit corporation entirely run by volunteers. "Pugalugs" are gatherings of pugs and pug lovers. Every month, we pugalug to help support the many costs involved in rescue.

Our mission is, to the best of our ability, help a pug in need who is surrendered to us; to provide the medical care, loving attention, comfort, food, companionship and a forever home to rest their heads at night.


Now that we're all jiggy with the lingo, this Pugalug, Pug Island, is much like it sounds: a bunch of people and the pugs that own them get on the ferry and go to Ward's Island for good, ole-timey puggy fun. Click HERE to see the group shot.

Joey had much fun on the ferry...


... and with his new friend Rogue, owned by Emma's cousin, Sarah:

Joey was a bit of a treat whore and spent most of his time visiting with the people instead of playing with the pugs. As a result, he is in MANY pictures on the website. Check it out HERE. (Especially check out #32!) Eventually, Daddy had enough and someone had to be physically brought back to the "family blanket":

However, it seems that we didn't catch him in time. Someone did a little too much visiting and then rudely vomited at Roberto's first birthday party following the island event. However, overall, a fun, although admittedly geeky time was had by all!
