Weather Report :: Oregon Restored
Storms tore through last night and broke the heat and drove away the wildfire smoke. I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to a restored Oregon. Cool breezes and a gentle sun graced The Hood. Lois is saying good morning to the room and I’m looking forward to the next couple days here. A lot…

It is so hot and so humid and so smoky…Oregon is on fire just like Utah. Too hot for pugs around here…and also for me! However, truth is, Oregon is always good for me. We’re in Hood River for the ORA Conference which we are very happy to be able to sponsor! The pugs have…
Read MoreIda-Go!
Busy this week! Demos in Washington, New York, Alaska, and a conference in Idaho! I’m in Coeur D’Alene which is in northern Idaho not far from the Canadian border. IACP is a cool group that is going through quite a time with budgets, rules–all the things so many states are going through–and still mantaining their…

Punctual Pug has the best and smartest friends and partners. During Aaron’s presentation yesterday, I learned some things. The national average percentage of people participating in integrated employment (as of 2023) is 22%. However, in Washington, it is 83%!! (And our other friends in Oregon are right behind them at number two in the nation…

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…

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.…

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…

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…
