The FlatPuglet Project - Recycled Dogs Rock!!

I have got to tell you about this great campaign to increase awareness of 'recycled' (aka adopted) dogs.  It's exciting and creative and I know you will want to participate, too.  

It's called the Flat Puglet Project.  It was started by an adopted pug out in San Francisco to help let everyone know how great it can be to 'recycle' homeless dogs and how cool we can be. Yup, that's right.  If you didn't already know, both Delilah and I are adopted.  So is our brother, Douglas (he doesn't come to work much 'cause he is very big).  We all came from different rescue/shelter organizations and we are all great dogs.

The original Puglet and his brother, Dutch the Dalmation, saved up their cookie money to make the first FlatPuglets - beautiful printed flat pugs with big brown, pleading eyes.  They then put the FlatPuglets into envelopes and shipped them out into the world.  People take pics of FlatPuglet in all kinds of different locations with other adopted dogs and then post on the Flat Puglet Project page about the Puglet's 'visit'.

There are a few ways to participate.  You can sponsor a FlatPuglet for $10, helping to print and send a FlatPuglet out onto it's journey.  You can also apply to host a FlatPuglet.

I have emailed the real Puglet and his also-adopted brother, Dutch.  Delilah and I want to host a Flat Puglet here in Plano.  Maybe take him down to Dallas to see the grassy knoll or out to the new Stadium.  Bring him into WOOF to help work for a few days.  There are all kinds of places we could go with FlatPuglet.

Mother says if I give up one bag of coconut chips I can sponsor a FlatPuglet.  Delilah and I can each sponsor one if we give up a bag of chicken-wrapped seafood treats (y'all know how strongly I feel about those chicken-seafood treats).

I am thinking that it is totally worth a little bit of sacrifice on my part to help improve the lives of other pups who need a second chance like my siblings and I got.  So I am going to savor my last few pieces of chicken treats tonight and tomorrow I will start checking the mailbox for FlatPuglet.

Can you help, too?  Want to sponsor a FlatPuglet?  Or suggest some places for Delilah and I to take our guest when he arrives?

Wilbur, dude, you make me proud. And I am so holding you to your pledge about the chicken-seafood treats. ;)
