Each year we go down to Atlanta for Pugfest, and each year we go down early for a volunteer and foster home dinner. Some attendees were Harry and his adorable sister Lulu. Both of these squishy faces are SEPRA alums.

Thursday, October 10th, 2013Happy 11th Birthday Violet
Sunday, December 4th, 2011
Okay, I am a horrible pug mom. Violet’s birthday was Saturday and I completely forgot. Bad me. She did get eggs for breakfast, but she gets that every weekend so I really can’t even count that for a treat. Regardless, we are so happy that she is with us. Happy Birthday to our little black angel.
Happy Holidays from Etta

Have you met Etta yet? She is our adorable foster pug through SouthEast Pug Rescue & Adoption. She is waiting for her fur-ever family.
Is it too early for Christmas?

The Papas are celebrating early. This time of the year gets so crazy so we had the pugs’ picture taken early at McKamey Care & Adoption Center. Happy Holidays from Violet & Lola
We will always love you Baby Girl
Saturday, November 5th, 2011
Sadly, just a couple of days after turning 13 years old, Baby Girl’s health took a turn for the worse. With a heavy heart, we had to make the decision to ease her from this world. Run free little girl, run to the Rainbow Bridge where you can breathe easy and walk without pain. The past three and a half years have revolved around taking care of Baby Girl and making sure that she was happy and healthy. And then suddenly, our world has become so normal. The tears are still flowing as we adjust to life without that tiny bundle of a pug.
We are forever grateful to SouthEast Pug Rescue & Adoption for bringing Baby Girl into our lives. Without the dedication of volunteers, Baby Girl would not have had the opportunity to come into rescue. Without the financial support, pugs would not have the opportunity for rehabilitation and the hope to be adopted to a new loving family. www.rescuepug.com
We would also like to thank all of the support we received from our collapsing trachea group-Yorkie Angel Patrol.
Happy 13th Birthday Baby Girl

Baby Girl turned 13 years old on October 28th. We didn’t take our official pictures until the 30th though. We were so happy to celebrate such a milestone.
Pugfest 2011
Saturday, November 5th, 2011
Pugfest! This event is the first thing that goes on my calendar each year. It is SouthEast Pug Rescue & Adoption’s biggest fundraiser. All I can say is that if you haven’t been, you are missing out! There are costume contests, vendors with all kinds of pug items, tables with SEPRA t-shirts, silent auction items, and raffles for fantastic items. But the best thing is ALL the pugs! There are pugs in all shapes and sizes. www.rescuepug.com
Gus is the most amazing pug
Saturday, November 5th, 2011
In October, we made our annual pilgrimage to Georgia for SouthEast Pug Rescue & Adoption’s Pugfest. The Friday night before the big event we met the most amazing pug-Gus! Gus is 15 years and 10 months old that was rescued by SEPRA and adopted by Jonathan ten years ago. Although, he can’t walk due to a bad back, he is carted around in little red wagon sporting some serious style. Gus is one of those pugs that you see and you want to hold and cuddle and snuggle, which is exactly what I did to him. Gus travelled all the way from Florida with Jonathan as his driver. Instead of Driving Miss Daisy, it was Driving Mister Gus. Jonathan is an amazing caregiver for Gus and is an inspiration to all pug people. You can tell a pug and a person made a huge impression on you if you are still talking about how lucky you were to meet them weeks later. If you would like a little piece of Gus, you can order one of SEPRA’s 2012 calendars where he is the cover pug. www.rescuepug.com

News from Peaches

Whew, it has been a long and hot summer at the Honky Tonk. First our A/C went out and management was starting to get nervous about us getting overheated, but the weather worked out and it cooled off long enough for the new unit to be installed. Then on April 27th a series of tornadoes blew through town. The storms started at 9:00am and went until 11:00pm. We all went into a safe area to ride out the weather. Thankfully only a few trees on the property were blown down, but we were without power for 101 hours. I didn’t count, but the manager at the ‘Tonk was sure counting. When the power did come on, the manager made us clean the whole place. Ugh! We’ve had a lot of visitors come through this summer and I am always the gracious hosts. I like to make sure that everyone is happy and having a good time. That gets you about caught up with summer activities and now for the big news… I am retiring from the Honky Tonk. I know a lot of people though that I’d stay here forever and even though I am welcome to, I am going to live with a new family. It’s been great here, but it’s time for me to move on to live the good life. I’ll miss everyone and especially my BFFs Lola, Baby Girl, and Violet. XOXO Peaches
