Happy National Pug Day

By Allison Dudo | Oct 15, 2025 |

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…

Back in Oregon

By Allison Dudo | Oct 14, 2025 |

The pugs and I are kind of camping in Turner, Oregon, at this cool retreat that CPAO has gotten for its fall conference. It’s going to be a busy one! Punctual Pug is sponsoring and I’ll be singing the songs of the pugs and talking all things nerdy today. I’ll certainly be talking about our…

UPDATE: THE APPS ARE LIVE! Hi friends, We are currently waiting on Google and Apple approvals for the new Punctual Pug 2.0 apps. Apparently, this sort of delay is not unusual of late for both of these stores. We apologize for the delay and would encourage people to use the desktop version temporarily. We’re sorry…

Two dot OHHHHH!

By Allison Dudo | Sep 23, 2025 |

The pugs are waking up to the smell of fall leaves and pumpkin spice! As you know, we’ve been quiet this year because we decided to make some vast improvements. Last year, we developed very fast and we made the decision in January to slow it down and take a hard look at what we…

By Allison Dudo | Mar 13, 2025 |

It is not a surprise to any of you what a giant nerd I am. So, I have to tell you all about three super tools that I’m working with right now (and I’m also adding them to the presentation I’m doing at a few conferences this year called Teach Me to Nerd). Loom: Do…

Utahhhhhhhhhh

By Allison Dudo | Feb 26, 2025 |

The pugs and I are pleased to announce a new partnership with The Utah Association of Community Services (UACS) right here at home! If you are a member agency of UACS, you get all the cool stuff people in Oregon, South Dakota, Alaska, and Idaho already signed up for! That is FIVE grumbles, if you’re…

Pugs and Kisses

By Allison Dudo | Feb 14, 2025 |

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! We’re sending hugs, pugs, and kisses to all our users (we just topped 2000 of them!). Although Valentine’s Day is typically for proclaiming romantic love, we’re just sending some amorphous pug love out into the world. It’s rough out there for people so smell some flowers, eat some candy, and watch…

We are doing a lot under the hood right now to improve the infrastructure within and surrounding Punctual Pug as…
