For Christmas, Jason gave me a pug boxed calendar. Each day (well, 6 days a week--Saturday and Sunday are combined), there is a new pug picture with a dog quote. I LOVE dog quotes so thought it would be fun to share them all with you. I probably will not enter the new quote each day but will update every few days. Enjoy!
