The Punctual Pug Blog
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…
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.…
Yesterday, we had two meetings with our pug partners and both went so well! We had the second meeting looking at Punctual Pug XL designs (timekeeping, punching, etc.) to gather ideas and input so when this thing hits the ground, it will be just so great. Our designer swung for the fences and sent it…
You’ll be seeing more of these announcements as we deploy more frequent Pug Patches, fixing bugs and adding small enhancements to keep you entertained between bigger updates (like one coming up soon!). You’ll also notice we have added more detailed release notes, as well. We plan on a lot more of this to come. You’ll…
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…
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…
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…
