Introduction

Hi PugMates! I'm Vinent Thomas Pug but my friends call me Vinny. What a large group of pug lovers. Makes one feel glad to have been born pug. I look forward to sharing and having a great time here. Until then, let's all remember that "Pugs Rule!"

How did you find out about us?

I looked to see if there was a pug meetup in Chicago area because I'm seriously considering your city as the first stop in my 100 city Pet Rescue Fundraising Tour of the U.S. and Canada to raise $1,000,00 for Animal Causes.

What are some of your favorite habits of your pug(s)?

My favorite habit or hobby is bouldering. I've been climbing since shortly after being born. I spent about 6 years or so in pursuit of a new canine Guinness World record for climbing. My image library has over 8,000 pictures of me atop boulders.

What are some of your pug's nicknames?

My name is Vincent Thomas Pug

  • Welcome Vinny and Allen!
    Animals and their humans are always welcome in this group. I'm happy to know someone who is so dedicated to animals. I read about you online and I have to commend you on all you're doing for your fellow animals. They have no voice, and it takes a very special kind of person to take it upon themselves to give them a voice. I'm doing everything in my power to do the same, especially with birds. I started a Pet Care Education Program with the Humane Society of Louisiana.

  • Welcome Vinny!
    Not sure we can help you in your quest, but we'd be happy to try. We have no Pet Show Vendors in our group that I'm aware of. But we do have at least 2 pet store owners. Good luck in your continued career. And should you make it to Colorado Springs, we'd be delighted to meet you and take you on one of our hikes in the mountains.
    Sandy and Kacey

  • I'm Vincent Thomas Pug but in the trade I'm known as "Vinny the Pug:. You might wonder about my motivation for being here. Well, FRANK of "MEN in BLACK" fame is getting old and hasn't gotten much screen time lately. That being the case, I felt it important that a canine should step forward, preferably of the Pug persuasion, to assume the baton. Besides, in this world of animal lovers, every movie can increase its chances of success with a canine character in it. GOOGLE me: Vinny the Pug
