I’d been promising Pugly for the last month that if it weren’t rainy on Wednesday, we’d go to the Pug meet-up on the Eastern Prom in Portland after daycare since we’re already in Portland on Wednesdays anyway. I almost completely forgot about it this week and it was a gorgeous day. However, when I picked him up at daycare, the gal asked if we were going to the Pug convention and when I asked if he wanted to go play with the Puggies, he got all excited, so off we went.
We were early and the first ones there, but eventually the Eastern Prom filled up with Pugs of all shapes and sizes. You know, I’ve never seen two Pugs that didn’t like each other. The Portland Pug Meet-ups are a wonderful, magical experience. Pugs everywhere off leash just racing about together playing and being loved by strangers who just love Pugs. I think Pug owners are just about as unique as their pets because as of yet I haven’t seen a Pug Parent who didn’t love another Pug Parent or another’s Pug.
Pugly happened to run into his daycare girlfriend while we were there so he had a familiar face, not that Pugs need familiar faces. They are always fast friends and for life. However, after a day of playing hard at daycare, I guess playing hard at the Pug convention soon became overwhelming to him. After about a half an hour, he started just hovering near me and couldn’t be lured into Pug chase, one of his favorite games. I could tell he was tiring out. So when I asked if he wanted to go home, he gave me kisses and we headed off, wishing all the other Puggies well until the next time we met.
Pugly went home and had a long nap on the sofa. It was a good day and I got many kisses.
