Here is a cute story from the Sacramento Bee in 2011
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Otis the skydiving pug!
Otis, a ten-year-old pug hailing from Galt, Calif., made his 64th jump (tandem, of course) with his owner, Will DaSilva, on Monday afternoon, The Sacramento Bee reports.
The little guy has been jumping out of planes with DaSilva since he was just one year old, but each jump continues to excite him. "He's just like a first-time skydiver," DaSilva says in a video from The Sacramento Bee. "He's all excited about it, gets nervous at the door just like all the rest of the skydivers, and then once he gets out he's just having a ball. He's just like a dog with his head out the car window, just flapping away.

Just wanted to update you on Maverick. We adopted him in Sept. 2011 and he has been the best thing for us since we got our first pug!!!! We love him so much and so does Ruby, our other pug. They have so much fun together. He is such a sweet boy and he has beefed up since we got him. He was a little underweight at first, but with his regular meals of Blue Buffalo dog food, he has grown into a beautiful little guy (although he always was beautiful ). Thank you so much. He was a perfect match for us

TroPugal Puggerfest 
We are also graciously accepting donations for our silent auction. Handmade items are especially popular; blankets, quilts, paintings, jewelry and ceramics get people pen jousting toward the end of the auction. Any new item will be accepted, it does not have to be pug themed, as some people purchase the items as gifts for non-pug people (though it is difficult to believe there are people out there who DON'T love pugs).
We are really looking forward to Puggerfest this year and are excited at the prospect of seeing our old friends and meeting new ones!
To donate, please contact Gail Tucker at homewardboundpugs@cox.net
Be sure and mark your calendars for September 29th and join us at Stars And Stripes Park in OKC. We can't wait to see you there!
