Dakota
https://punctualpug.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_2051.mp4 The first part of the drive across South Dakota was as you’d expect: vast, endless horizons, miles and miles and miles of quiet. There is something special about it. Heidi was right. As soon as you cross the Missouri River, it begins to change with small hills and scrubby pine trees, and eventually The…

Their Longfellow Center is a renovated elementary school! The pugs are loose in South Dakota on both sides of the state, covering all the time zones! I spent Monday in Sioux Falls where Heidi showed me the extraordinary work that DakotAbilities is doing to support very medically complex people both during the day and at…

The pugs are busy! We reconvened our 90-Day meeting with users and the first one was great! Old pug users offered advice to the new pug users and made some nice mentoring connections. I’m still spouting all kinds of stuff from that meeting and others. (Training events…? Hmmmm….) Punctual Pug XL is being built. Design…

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.

Now we’re chewing on the feedback and adding some more designs… We’ve…

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…
Read MoreBack in Oregon
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…
