It’s ABOUT Time!
We had the first meeting for Punctual Pug XL with six providers, our developers, and me. We got some really constructive feedback but it was evident from the designs, that our first run at timekeeping got a lot right. And that was encouraging! Now we’re chewing on the feedback and adding some more designs… We’ve…
Read MoreHappy Christmas Eve
2025 has been a very difficult year for a lot of people providing services in the Punctual Pug ecosphere. Deficits, rate reductions, new rules, managed care, staff shortages, are but a few things we have seen happen this year. It saddens me to see, after thirty years in this field, that so little has changed…

We pushed some Pug Patches out today to catch up on some tickets and smash some creep-crawlies. Sorry for the delay as we’ve been working on improving some things under the hood that really had to happen. We want to hit 2026 ready to go! You will also now get notified when we roll out…
Read MoreHappy 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…

I’ve spent this week so far with IACP at their meeting in Idaho Falls where Punctual Pug was one of the sponsors. Journeys gave them the space for the conference and my new friend, Joy, got me all the things upon my early arrival, including the secret refrigerator where the cold water bottles lived. She…

It’s been a wild week over here! We have two new grumbles in the works and the pugs have landed in South Carolina with our first east coasted customers! They are really excited to be part of the grumble and the pugs are thrilled to have them (and their barbecue!). I’m heading to Idaho…

Punctual Pug was one of the sponsors of the UACS conference in Midway, UT, this past week. Ana was womanning the table while I was fighting my way home from Anchorage! It was fun to see people when I arrived on Friday; old friends and new ones. It will be fun to see UACS continue…
Read MoreThe Arctic Grumble
Every time I come to Alaska (and there have been a lot of times), I love it more. And each time I show up to the AADD conference, I leave with all kinds of ideas. Especially this time…self-directed services was a giant discussion and it led to a lot of input about how Punctual Pug…

I wrote about the CPAO conference but didn’t mention my new friend, Amelia. I did a Punctual Pug demonstration and some current users showed up to ask questions and also let me know about a couple changes we made that JUST.DID.NOT.WORK in 2.0. Amelia clearly pointed out the issues and we were able to sort…
Read MoreHappy National Pug Day
Last year, I celebrated National Pug Day quizzing Alaskans on all the pug facts at AADD’s fall conference. Do you know how old the pug breed is? Where it originated? Who they hung out with back in the day?…These are essential facts for an educated person to know! I’ll be here today with CPAO at…
