Friday Funnies ~ R-Chee says Let’s Party! Colorado Pugs in the Park 2013

Happy Friday everyone!

It is me…

R-Chee!

I had so much FUN at The Colorado Pug Rescue‘s 2013 Party this year!

It is called Pugs in the Park…

…and boy was it ever!

They had tons of games, contests, food, spas, vets, toys, vendor booths and a big fundraising silent auction that was filled with amazing things to bid on and win while helping all of the pugs in foster care!

Here are some of the photos my dad took of our day for you to enjoy!

Every kind of doggie was welcome to join in on the FUN & learn to relax in style from the pug experts!

There were so many pugs to meet, games to play and smells to smell that I did not know where to start!

So my momma and I just decided to start to explore and see what would unfold!

We went to every booth and greeted every pug we could find in every direction!

We had so much FUN exploring that I needed to take a break and have a snack!

(BTW… I always need a snack :))

Here are just some of the friends we met!

Every pug & person had a wonderful time!

Smiles were shining everywhere!

Thank you CPR and all of the people, family and pug rescues everywhere for all the love, care and hope you bring to the world!

We cannot wait to go again next year!

Please leave us a note and tell us all about the Pug Parties you have been to this year! We cannot wait to hear all about them, your favorite rescue and your story if you would like to share it with us!

Pugs in the Park 2011 ~ Archie the Social Butterfly

 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!

Seattle Pug Party 2010

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to show you the Seattle Pug Party. 🙂

It was a magical day as we got to hug many of our blog friends in person for the first time!

I will show you those special photos tomorrow and highlight the Pug Party and Pike Place Market today.

Melanie is the best!

Here she is helping me set up our table. 🙂

The doors opened a 11am and a sea of sweet puggies rolled in to spend the day with us.

There were 100’s of pugs and people having fun and enjoying the festivities!

We had a wonderful day and although we were only in Seattle for 1.5 days, we got to enjoy some of our favorite places like The Public Market!

Here I am entering the building to find…

Lots of veggies…

fish

and flowers!

We had a fabulous time!

I am so excited!

Tomorrow I will show you the photos I took with …

• Tweedles & her moms,
• Diane, Gail & Kong,
• Puglette,
• Joan & Skippy Wu, and
• Lise & Winston!

It was a truly magical day!

San Diego Pug Party 2010

Hi Everyone!

We are home!

Melanie and I had a fabulous time in San Diego and Seattle!

I am so excited to show you pictures of our trip!

I will start with the SD Pug Rescue Party today so as not to overload you with all of my pictures. 🙂

Our tables were filled with our whimsical pug art, sweater vests and handmade wool bears!

We had so much fun!

It was a perfect day filled with wonderful people and over 500 pugs smiling and having fun!

Here is one little happy pug looking for the perfect forever home.

The party is an annual fundraiser to help the San Diego Pug Rescue raise funds to support the sweet pugs in their care.

Some of the activites they had were costume contests, blueberry facials, pug massage, manicures, ask a vet and a cupcake eating contest (A funny side note: The cupcakes had to stay down to win ~ heeee.)

Here is a puggy waiting for his cupcakes while celebrating the theme of Pugs Around the World complete with ponchos, sombreros and *beverages*.

We had such a wonderful time seeing old friends, meeting new ones and spending the day with hundreds of puggies!

P.S. Does anyone know why Emmitt is singing and dancing and smelling like mini meatloaves? He is on cloud 9 I tell ya!

We had a fabulous trip to Seattle to attend the Seattle Pug Party on Saturday.

We met so many of our blog and online friends that the whole day became a magical event.

Some of the people who stopped by are Puglette and her family, Connie Conley, Tara Ross, Sabra, Cammie, Winston & Cosette, Joan & Skippy who also had an amazing booth at the party for her amazing company, Linden Line Designs.

A happy puggy!

Puglette’s Charlie and Ollie

To celebrate a wonderful show and day, Melanie and I went to the Pike Street Market for dinner.

We only had a few hours on Saturday evening to see some of Seattle but we had perfect weather and could not have asked for a better day!

This is a shot of the Space Needle as we zoomed to the airport at 6:00 am Sunday morning. 🙂

We had a fabulous time in Seattle. As we were leaving the Pike Street Market, I looked down and saw this wonderful bag smiling up at me. I said to myself, what a perfect ending to a perfect day!

Life is Art… Art is Life!

San Diego Pug Party 2009

We had a fabulous time at the San Digeo Pug Party!

 

The theme was Rockn’ Through the Ages and it was a blast!

Hundreds of people and pugs turned out for a day filled with contests like a cupcake eating contest, pug kissing contest, costume contest, a huge raffle, all you can eat meatball pug bar and more!

We were so excited to see our friend Mindy and her pugs, Elvis and Dandy.

She is wearing a shirt with a portrait of her Elvis puggy done by our very own Nancy Medina!

Our friends Liz & Jon brought their frenchie, Henri Hopper, and their new baby boy, Noah, to the party. We were so excited to see them!
