Why my tail is wagging

My friends, I am very excited today. The Pug Life Ministries Gift Shop has been remodeled and now features a wide range of products featuring a stunning portrait of yours truly. This portrait was created by Kevin McCormick, the artist behind the popular ObeyThePureBreed.com site and an ally of Pug Life. It was not easy to sit still while Kevin worked on this masterpiece, but the finished product -- and the Milkbone dog biscuit that he held up the entire time -- made it all worthwhile.

Even if I do not sell a single product (not my preference, mind you), I will treasure this design always. It has captured my authoritarian charm, my worldly wisdom, my ultra-virile beard. The Dogloo Mosque, long a dream of mine, is featured in the foreground. And with the bone dropping in the background, the portrait shows my long-standing desire to spread the joys of rawhide the world over. Universal access to rawhide is one of the pillars of the Pugistan movement.

I invite you all to visit the gift shop and have a look at the high-quality stationery, clothing, posters and other products available. In addition to the Ayatollah Mugsy goods, the store includes my new design featuring that most existential of questions: Got Rawhide?

CLICK HERE to embark on your shopping journey at the Pug Life Ministries Gift Shop. Tell your friends; tell a stranger. God willing, we will outsell Old Navy and The Gap combined.
