Weekend Warriors - Gardening

I love working in the garden on the weekends. The pugs are pretty good helpers. Benny is good at making sure everything "gets watered", Henry chomps on the grass, Luna makes a great pug garden statue and Sol is great at pointing out all the shady spots in the yard.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads and pug dads out there!

Reflections

I was assembling another Ikea piece this week which had a full length mirror. The mirror was propped up, off to the side as I wasn't to that part of the assembly process yet. I glanced up and caught a glimpse of three pugs, unconcerned about the work being done.

Waiting out the Storm

A thunderstorm rolled through this afternoon and put a damper on the pugs' usual outdoor sun time. While it was raining they all came in and waited out the storm from the comfort of the bed.

Off to the Races

This was a game we frequently played when Benjamin & Henry were puppies. The whole purpose of the game was to trick Benjamin & Henry into practicing their Sit, Stay & Come commands, but to do it in a fun way that allowed them to work off their puppy energy.

First the sit & stay while I move away.

Then the come command.

Looks like Benny was a little bit quicker out of the gates.

Almost up to full speed.

Still truckin'.

About halfway there and Benny has taken the lead.

Benny coming into the home stretch, completely blocking Henry from the frame.

Benny finishing strong. You can see his wrinkly skin flapping in the wind and his eyes are fixed on the prize - the treat.

Photo Wall Finally Updated

We finally got around to updating the photo wall in the playroom this week. While I always love having new photos in the frames I procrastinated on this task for awhile. Mainly because we now have 5 furry kids and we only have four frames. Tracking down a 5th frame that is identical to the rest wasn't very easy and I really liked the spacing of the four frames and didn't want to mess with that. So, we decided to double up the boys in one picture. Not ideal, but it works because they are "the boys". Not the best way to showcase their individual personalities, but that is why I have pugs and not kids so that I don't have to worry about those things.

Here are the pictures that are in the frames.
