As you know by now, I have a deep love for all things pugs, and I hope in these few short weeks of Pugapalooza, we crazy pug lovers, have been able to successfully recruit you all to our side.

Ms. Meaghan and Mr. Buster, please email me your contact information, Milo and I have a lil something special for you.

And to all my lovely readers out there.... Voting for the winner will begin next week. Since deciding is way too hard for Milo and myself, we're entrusting the decision to all you fine folks out there.... more details to follow.

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend...

XOXO

Tomorrow I announce the last finalist for Pugapalooza. And on Monday I hope to show all the Honorable Mentions. Then..... the voting begins.

Her name is Chief and she's the furbaby of the one and only d.a.r. from First comes love.



Wasn't she just a cutie pie when she was a puppy? Pug puppies melt my heart every time, they are my own personal kryptonite on a bad day. But don't worry, they are still cute when they are full grown as well.

Look at that face... how can you say no to a look like that?

Everyone be sure to congratulate d.a.r. and Chief on their selection of Pug of the Week. They have been moved to the finals of Pugapalooza.


But don't worry folks, you can still enter. Please email your pictures to me at leavingandloving@gmail.com. The contest is open until March 18th.


And d.a.r. and Chief.... email be your contact info, I might have a little gift for you guys.

Happy Friday to all!

XOXO

Its our 1st Pug of the Week, and let me tell you, narrowing these cutie pies down, is pretty hard. Thank you all so much for entering, the response has been great. I'm so glad others out there share my undying affection for pugs. So be on the lookout for the Pug of the Week tomorrow, and they just might get a little something special.


Remember the contest goes until March 18th, so enter now. And each Friday from now until March 16th, I will display a puggie that's extra special and a contender for the grand prize of Pugapalooza.

** Thanks for all the kind words about a baby Jetplane, I know its never the "right" time. But there is a lot to consider. The military adds a whole level of "fun" to the equation. Planning on getting pregnant, knowing your husband won't be there for part of it, its a scary situation. Adding to the fact that I'm far from family and friends, its difficult to deal with. But its what we're going to have to deal with. I'm a total drama queen so I'll flip my sh!t on a daily basis, cuz I'm crazy like that.

Happy Friday to everyone in blogland. Its been a crazy long week, and I'm so happy that its Friday. I'm sitting at my desk, looking at my large bouquet of lovely pink tulips that Mr. Jetplane sent me yesterday and a little sad that I won't see him tomorrow.

But enough about me... Its Friday and its an extra special Friday because not only do you get to a little puggie loving, but today is the offical launch of Mrs. Jetplane's Pugapalooza Contest.

Yes, that's right Pugapalooza! What is it you ask, well Mrs. Jetplane is hosting a contest for all you puggie lovers.
