For The Love of Pugs! At Woofstock High Tea

Get the Pugs Only Exclusive of the

Woofstock High Tea

I caught up with some of my favorite Celebrity Pugs at the Woofstock High Tea event. Kilo couldn’t make it out because he’d be more inclined to nibble on his friends than on the many delicious dog-friendly biscuits at the event. That didn’t stop me from bringing home a whole bag of SWAG for him though!

The hilarious and adorable Fishstick entered into the Dog Doppelganger Costume Contest at the event as “Dognald Hump”

He took to the Red Carpet with style

Check out Fishstick’s most recent endeavours in stardom in the latest Backseat Barkers episode and compilation meme video:

A few other pugs entered the contest and strutted their stuff on the dogwalk.

Aura, the gorgeous pug in pink, belongs to Amanda Logan, radio personality and one of the judges for the contest.

They had quite the setup!

Aura and Amanda with friends at one of the gorgeous tables set up at the event, just look at those outfits! Needless to say the Pugs were in full force at this event, with smiles all around!

Did I mention: Pugs!?

Will you be at the pug race for Woofstock 2017? Tyson has won the last two years in a row, and he needs some more competition!

Christmas Party Photos of Pug at Pugalug’s Pug Claus

This weekend was Pugalug Pug Rescues’s annual Christmas party, Pug Claus, held at Purina PawsWay Toronto. It was a great event for pugs and pug lovers to gather, take photos with Santa and celebrate the holidays with their families and friends. We saw our pal Fishstick, the star of the Backseat Barkers series looking very dapper in his Christmas Bowtie.

Such a fun way to raise funds for pugs in need. The raffle prizes were fantastic this year. They had 3 beautiful big gift baskets, a one night stay at the Westin Harbour Castle for and gift certificates too! Sadly, I did not win.

Kilo came along and sat with my husband enjoying cuddles and treats.

The event had awesome gifts to buy like Peachy Keen harnesses, bandanas and bow ties our friend Igor’s calendars, and new PugALug t-shirts- all available online.

It was tons of fun meeting new pug lovers and of course playing with some many adorable pugs.

Tim was like a Pug Whisperer- having a great time handing out treats to the pugs. He and Crystal also brought along Fishstick’s 2 BFFs

Adorable Photos of Pugs Having Fun at The Toronto Pug Grumble

Sunday was pretty nice weather, so Kilo the Pug headed off to Trinity Bellwoods Park “Dog Bowl” for the monthly Toronto Pug Grumble for the first time (we popped by the Halloween event but it was at a store nearby). The event is hosted by handsome Instagram Celebrity Pug @HelmutthePug and his Mom. We were lucky enough to see them twice this week as Helmut was a model at the Strutt With Your Mutt Event at Purina PawsWay.

Kilo is a rescue and was quite anxious and shy at first, as he always is outside the house – we believe a bigger dog must have attacked him in a dog park before we got him and he just was not socialized. However, the pugs were all his size and not threatening so he handled the occasional butt sniff well and hung out on the perimeter with my husband. He did not react at anyone or anything and remained happy enough to eat the occasional treat and have a few cuddles with me.

We only stayed for 15 minutes but it was so fun as pugs are just too cute and sociable. I am hoping that these little safe outings will gradually give Kilo a more positive feeling and build his confidence. He loves attention and playing with me so I hope some day he finds some new dogs friends he can relax with.

We’ll see you at the December event! Details HERE.

Photos From Pugalug’s Annual Pugoween Pug Party At PawsWay, Toronto

It’s A PUG PARTY!

Pugalug Pug Recuse‘s Annual Pugoween Halloween party at Purina Pawsway in Toronto was amazing! Thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers, staff and attendees that made this year so great. A Grumble of Party Pugs came dressed in their Halloween costumes to help support the Pug Rescue, socialize with friends and of course, show off their costumes. It was non-stop action with little pugs running everywhere.

My husband came and sat with Kilo in a quiet corner up on a bench. He was actually pretty happy watching the fun from a safe distance. He wore his Darth Vader costume for about five minutes but I didn’t want to stress him and he is happier naked in just a harness.

Pugalug’s Blanche Axton’s Bee and Bee Keeper partner costume with her pug was very creative!

Costume Contest Winner (again)

Each year this creative family always comes up with great new ideas for the Halloween costume contest. This year their adorable pug was a pirate complete with a ship and of course treasure.

Second place went to Waldo and Pumpkin for their elf costumes.
