Pug Notes
I adore this artist work.  If you visit her website http://www.pugnotes.com/ , you can see all of her designs and all of the wonderful things you can have them on including purses and totes because you can never have too many pug items. (he!he!)

Feeling Crafty:
Make Your Own Pug Purse
HGTV's Shannon Sybirski
You should absolutely love this if you are crafty because it allows you to put your own style and twist on it to have a truly one of a kind piece.

So with all of these fabulous options and more, I say Move Over Louis.  There is a new purse in town and it has one thing that you do not, the power, grace and charm of a pug.

Sold!

They say Helen of Troy had a face that launched a thousand ships but I can say that a puggy face could have me buy almost anything.  Thank goodness that this weakness would not start the Trojan War (maybe a war on my pocketbook...he!he!) but I could see myself buying even a can opener if it had a pug on it.


Pugs in Commercial Advertising:
Pure genius on the advertisers part at least as far as this pug person is concerned. he!he!

Cheers to the Pug Breed!

Turn that quiet evening at home or party up a notch by celebrating it pug style.

Rescue Pug Wine

A Fun Mixed Drink:
If wine is not your style...

The Colorado Pug
Yes, this is actually a drink but if you do not live on Colorado, I think you could substitute the name for your own purposes such as: The Georgia Pug, The Ohio Pug...well, you get the idea.

1 Shot Coffee Liqueur
1 Shot Irish Cream
Club Soda to Top
Ice
