July 1, 2011 by admin · Leave a Comment
It is an event that has received a lot of attention from pugs and their owners, as well as dedicated pug fans. Even pug wannabees attend because of the fun of it.
If you aren’t familiar with pugs, the short, fawn or black smooshed in nose dogs with the curly tails, let us fill you in a bit. Pugs are considered the clowns of the dog world. They are conniving, sneaky, and a laugh a minute. They each have their own personality, but they all are funny.
The Pug Parade originated almost seven years ago, under the careful eye of former Valley Bugler editor/publisher Candy Richey and her husband, Bill.
It has been well attended ever since. The annual trek begins on Commerce, and parades along Commerce during the Downtown LIVE evening.
Fun contests and super cool prizes await everybody once the parade is over. Sponsored this year by The Pet Works, Lynn’s Ice Cream Yogurt & More, and Natura Pet, everybody is sure to enjoy this family friendly event and activity.
We never know who will be reading this, or where they will ‘share’ it with friends on FaceBook or eMail, so it’s quite possible people may travel all day just to attend!
One year, we even had a FLOAT created by a family all the way up near Marysville, WA. Costumes are highly encouraged, and ‘themed’ pugs can proudly display their matching themed owners.
Don’t have a dog? That’s ok! You can come and watch this lively procession of four legged friends tugging their owners down the street during Downtown LIVE, happening Friday nights in Downtown Longview @ 6pm.
Whether you are a pug family, or just a pug fan, plan on enjoying the Pug Parade Friday evening at 6pm. Everyone is welcome to walk and talk as we watch these “lights of joy” strut their stuff!
You can sign up for the Pug Parade at the Pet Works, 1257 Commerce Ave in Longview, WA or at:

All breeds welcome!!
Pug Parade 2009 Recap
June 1, 2009 by Michelle Myre · 1 Comment
It was a simply gorgeous day for a pug parade, don’t you think? The sun was brightly shining, the trees were gently swaying, and we probably missed a few puppies whose owners decided to go enjoy the day elsewhere!
Yes, it was the first sunny Saturday in what felt like a millenium, so our numbers were slightly down – that and the fact that the Daily sNews decided to conveniently ‘forget’ to announce the event. Read more
