Hello to everyone who attended the May 25, 2008 Pug Fest!

The weather was just perfect and it was great to see so many people and pugs.

Thank you to our sponsors, Bark and Fitz for being with us again and for volunteering their support to Under My Wing Pug Rescue by donating all monies collected from cutting our Pugs little nails and for donating the wonderful door prizes.

The winners of the draws were:

• Paula Osborne won the Gift Basket (donated by Critter Jungle)
• Tesia McDonald won the Soggy dog treats.(donated by Bark and Fitz)
• Brenda Buckle won the doggie dinner dishes.(donated by Bark and Fitz)
• Rhonda Colson won the doggie bed.(donated by Bark and Fitz)

The turn out was amazing! We had 162 Pugs registered! WOW!

I could not believe so many would have been there, so I counted the registrations twice to be sure.

The winners of the events were:

• The Race – Samson and Jimmy Woof
• The Stay Command – Oscar and Elvis
• The Agility Course – Griffon and Gracy
• And, last but not least – the cutest wrinkles went to Lila.

UNDER MY WING - Pug rescue gathered $978.00 in donations, isn't that fantastic! 

Genevieve would like to thank each one of you who attended the May 25, 2008 Ottawa Bi-Annual PugFest.

I can't thank you enough for your generosity and for helping us caring and saving more and more pugs. 

Without you, UNDER MY WING - Pug Rescue wouldn't be able to save so many pugs.

Because of you, we will be able to continue our efforts in saving as many pugs in need and finding them a forever loving home.

Again, thank you for generous help.

Mark your calendars now for our next PugFest on September 28, 2008.

Hope to see everyone there with their special little fur babies!

Best Regards,

Anne and Genevieve.

Mood:  happy

Hello to all Pug owners…
 
I hope all our Pug fur babies did not suffer too much over a very long, snow filled winter.
Now, spring is here and it is time to start planning the PugFest!
 
Date:
May 25, 2008

Location:
The dog park at Landsdowne park.  If you have not been there, it is at the canal entrance to Landsdowne Park. You should also note that there is usually some kind of walk/run/bikeathon going on along the canal driveway, so you will most likely have to enter Landsdowne from Bank Street to avoid detours.

Time:
10:00am to noon

Rain Date:
June 1, 2008

If any serious threat of rain occurs (more than a 50% chance) on May 25th – then we will postponed until June 1st., the following Sunday. We have been unlucky in the past with rain on our PugFest day. So, hopefully, this year we will have better luck!

Events:
We again, have the sponsorship of Bark & Fitz – isn’t that great!
 
We will have a few games for our Pugs and some prizes for the winners!
 
We will have doggie treats and samples for our Pugs.
 
And, of course, lots of time to chat and share news of our fur babies.
 
 
Under My Wing Pug Rescue:

It should be noted that Genevieve placed 27 Pugs since our last Pugfest and needs some help with donations and foster care when required.
So, we encourage you to participate in the following events:
There will be a “nail cutting” booth to get your Pug’s nails clipped for only $10.00 – all proceeds will be going to Under MY Wing Pug Rescue.
There will be a draw again this year with proceeds going to Under MY Wing Pug Rescue.

A family has agreed to make some delicious baking and bring them to the PugFest to sell.......apple pies, butter tarts and muffins.
 
In an effort to help keep our pugs happy & healthy, we respectfully ask that anyone with a pug who might be sick to please leave them at home and that your Pug is at lease three months old to attend....

Hope to see all of you there!
Anne and Genevieve
