Grumbles in the North

The Arctic Grumble is growing (along with some others!). We’ve taken a slow, steady, organic path to growth so we could focus on development and infrastructure. But we are always happy to have more Alaskans in our lives! And Cindy and Vic’s is a great addition (they are super fun!). Please find me if you…

Alaskaaahhh

That’s a wrap. Kim and I spent yesterday in Wasilla and Anchorage spreading the word about AADD and the benefits of membership, including getting deals with cool business partners like Punctual Pug. It was filled with interesting conversations and questions (a transportation schedule?…hmmmmm) and also a lot of coffee (the best espresso), bread and cookies.…

Happy Holidays!

Our friends at REACH in Juneau truly know how to deck the halls. The pugs were thrilled. I’ve been writing holiday cards to our friends all over the place this morning and the list has grown since last year, for sure. My hand is tired! We have new friends in South Carolina and Washington. We…

The Arctic Grumble

We are pleased to announce that Punctual Pug is the featured (and first corporate) sponsor of the AADD Conference coming up this October in Anchorage! And we also believe this is a portent: October 15, when the conference begins, is actually NATIONAL PUG DAY! Those Alaskans better look out… We are also pleased to announce…

Chickadees and Pugs in Alaska!

As you know, I am obsessed with Alaska. I was there a handful of times about ten years ago and was fortunate enough to travel there extensively so… Punctual Pug is happy to announce another partnership with the Alaska Behavioral Health Association (ABHA). And their logo is the cutest little chickadee! Like ravens, chickadees aren’t…

Busy Pugs

A Husky, Malamute, Samoyed, Chinook?? No way! A pug! We believe they could be Arctic explorers, too! Especially if you’re willing to put them in a coat and carry them on your back. 🙂 There is so much going on over here, I’ve barely had a minute to drop you all a note. We had…
