The wife and her co-workers spent several days this week in Central City. As I picked her up in the parking lot upon their return, she had to show me a photo on her cellphone. Of a large motorhome, parked at the Independence Rock reststop. A low portable fence surrounded a patch of green lawn next to where the motorhome had parked.

And inside that temporary lawn was...

Twenty (yes, 20!) pugs.

Can you imagine having 20 pugs?

Can you imagine traveling with 20 pugs?

Seeing as how one of the gals in the wife's car raises pugs and bugs, you know they had to stop. And pet and cuddle and nuggle and every other thing pug owners must do when encountering a new pug.

With 19 others waiting in line.

No wonder it was a long drive home.
