Pugtoberfest 2009 | Photos
This year at our photo-booth we went with a Hollywood theme. My wife made a wonderful Hollywood red carpet scene, similar to what you see at all the big movie premiers. They usually have all the sponsor logos plastered on a white wall. I think we simulated that look with our logo and Pugs ‘N Pals.
Our goal of $500 may have been a reach, but we were able to raise $300 for Pugs N’ Pals Pug Rescue. Thank you to everyone that visited our photo-booth and everyone that came and made Pugtoberfest a huge success.
Here are a couple of our photo-booth clients. If you don’t see your pooch, be sure to see our full gallery.

Pugtoberfest 2009 is around the corner!
It’s that time of year again where hundreds of pugs and pug lovers meet up annually to support Pugs ‘n Pals Pug Rescue. Every year the attendance increases as the word spreads about Southern California’s biggest pug meet-up, Pugtoberfest! It is truly amazing to see so many people and so many Pugs. There are plenty of events and activities planned for the day from a Best Kisser contest, a Best Costume Contest (it is October), to a Silent Auction. There will be many vendors selling products and services; dog and pet services will be on-site for ear cleanings and nail clippings. A veterinarian will be on hand for any questions you may have. Along with all the festivities there will be many available dogs for adoption!
This year we will be hosting a photo booth, where for $10 provide a mini photo shoot, a 4×6 proof and a fine art print (mailed), and an online gallery to share with friends. Last year we raised over $300 for Pugs ‘n Pals!!! We hope to out-do ourselves this year and strive for $500!!!

Sum Mo CoCo
Lately I have been on a Conan O’Brien kick since he has moved to Los Angeles. I have become particularly fond of the “Twitter TRACKER” skits:
Bro’s a no no for CoCo? If you missed that episode, you can watch full episodes here at Hulu.com.
Be sure to use your favorite TwitterTRACKER to follow us on Twitter.
And if you missed any of the chic Basenji, Koco, be sure to catch up with his full blog post.

Lake Arrowhead – The Local Ducks
I recently visited Lake Arrowhead for a well deserved get-a-way. The local ducks are so accustomed to the people you can almost touch them! That is, if you have food. I was able to get up close and personal with a few Mallards at the dock in the Village.
