pugs + pumpkins 2008

Saturday was the annual Pugs and Pumpkins at Oak Mountain State Park near Birmingham, AL. This is a fundraising event for Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption and this year I think was one of the most successful. Besides being an absolutely beautiful day, there were so many great pugs (and pug friends) and it was so much fun. This year for the photo booth, we decided that I will do little mini-paintings (since I am so addicted to it and all) so I am going to have a lot of practice – we were so busy all day!  Anyway, here are some pictures – most of these are snapshots but I threw in a couple of the “posed” shots because they were too cute.  I wish I could post about a hundred shots – it was hard to narrow it down!  There are also some of the available rescues. To find out more about them, or to find out about helping or adopting, please visit Alabama Pug Rescue’s website.
