     The people are interesting and nice; it's a good chance to talk about pug concerns with other pug owners and it's always a riot to see so many pugs in one spot!

     Its a great chance to meet other pug owners, and give your pug a chance to play with so many other great, friendly pugs.

     Socialization for the pugs and info sharing opportunity for their owners. Tired pugs = happy owners :)

     It's getting larger by the day it seems and it's great to see so many people who obviously take their love for their Pugs so seriously! It only means that these same people will be compassionate towards others and to important causes. Power to the Puggies!!!

     Everyone we have ever met from this meetup group has been so wonderful to us and our two pugs, Buttercup Pug aka Loreali and her sister Vada Sue. Thank you all for making it such a nice place to visit and keep coming back to. Anna & Randy

     Not only is it great for the dogs it is wonderful for their owners. Share stories and just enjoy the events. 

    Debra Esenther on Apr 5, 2009.

  • The Chicago Pug Meetup Group

     The pug meetup group is wonderful for the dogs to interact with eachother, as well as the pet owners to share information and experiences. For someone like myself, who is interested in learning about pugs and owning one, this is a great way to learn first hand from caring pug owners.

     It's an opportunity to trade info about breeders, training, etc. with other pug owners. .

     Pug people are a unique breed. Not everyone wants to hear my pug stories!!!

     So many cute pugs!

     The pug meetups are very low key. It's just a great time to let your dog hang out with other pugs. Besides, everyone knows that pugs (and their owners) are the best. 

    Kristin on Jun 14, 2008.

  • The Chicago Pug Meetup Group

     Meet other pug lovers!!! 

    Melissa on Jun 14, 2008.

     My dog was so happy when we arrived and he saw all the pugs. He kept running back to me and giving me hyper "thank you" kisses because he was so happy.

     We had a great time!!! My daughter and I started a new game called: "FIND BINGO" close your eyes , count to ten, open your eyes and who ever finds Bingo first wins. We always leave the meet-up laughing and talking about the event all day long. And, Bingo well....he just sleeps and snores the rest of the day-enough said!

     Lets meet up as soon as possible again, since this is summer, why not every week? at the beach? And its a good idea to meet at 10 am at the beach as when we left the beach like around 1pm, the parking lot is jammed and crowded with people, the police even blocked the lake shore exits to the beach, particularly Montrose, wilson and lawrence exits.

     Everyone was very nice and I know Charlie loves the attention! It was a great chance for him to run around and play w/ dogs his own size w/out feeling intimidated. Thanks!

  • The Chicago Pug Meetup Group

     I really like the fact that we are hanging out with people who understand pugs. Mochi has some problems meeting new people and new dogs. He get's agressive. I appreciate that almost everyone knows to just push him away when he get's obnoxious.

     It was a nice group of people. We look forward to the next outing.

     Regrettably I didn't visit very much with the human half of the gathering. Too busy smiling over pugs at play.

     This group is awsome! Everyone has a pug in common,so you never lack for conversation.It's nice to have people who you can go to for questions and you don't have to feel odd.They understand what it's like to have a pug. We talk about smelling their paw pads for god's sakes!! That takes special people right there!!LOL!!!

     People were friendly and it's nice to be able to go to the dog park and know that your dog is going to have the same sized pals to play with there.
