Pugalug 2001
|
A
pugalug is an informal gathering of pug dogs and those who love them.
Once a month we meet to celebrate a most wonderful breed.
 |
The pugalugs grew out of the
yearly Pug Picnics sponsored by the Upper Canada Pug Club.
| Kris
Reid and Jeanne McMullen would invite the Solna
Pugs and others up to Bailieboro, Ont. for an afternoon of pugs,
costumes, contests & picnicking.

One
of the Pug Picnic attendees was Jan MacPherson. She thought it was
such a terrific idea and wondered why only do it once a year? In 2001,
she scouted the off-leash parks around Toronto, called some people
and the first pugalug was held in the Beach area of Toronto. 3
pugs - Sophie, Brutus and Otis - showed up to scamper around the sand
thus establish the first rule of pugaglugs - HAVE FUN. |

One
more pug showed up making it a grand total of 4. The weather by the
lake was windy and chilly. So, although the pugs had a great time,
the humans decided to retreat indoors. to (where else?) the Pug and
Pontiff pub on Queen Street East to continue the joys of HAVING FUN.
The pugalugs were off and on during the summer of 2001, mainly due to inclement weather. |
