Say hello to Reese! Reese is Benjamin, Henry, Luna & Cupid’s new cousin. Reese is an American Bulldog and Bull Mastiff mix who was adopted from a Bulldog Rescue organization is Rising Sun Maryland. She is a year old and had a rough start to life, but she is now in a wonderful forever home and is set for life!
For this week’s Caption This, I had to go digging around in the photo archives. I came up with this picture of Henry from when he was a year old playing on a children’s playground. Looking forward to your captions in the comments.
After two great wins against Dallas and the Eagles, we finally got a taste of what it was like to root for a winning team. Riding high from those wins we were really looking forward to this Sunday’s Redskins game. Even Henry was sporting his Redskins cap before the game.
However, with Sunday’s loss to the Rams, we snapped back to reality. And Henry wasn’t quite the happy fan he was earlier in the day.
Here we have Henry wearing his tough guy, West Coast Chompers tank. Henry really prefers tanks over t-shirts because he isn’t very fond of sleeves. He was quite content to sit up on the rock and sun himself while I snapped some pictures.
The one bad thing about living in Florida is there is no Fall here. To help cure my fall color withdraw, this week’s flashback was from a trip to Lake Needwood, MD back in December of 2004. Lake Needwood was one of my absolute favorite places to take the boys when we lived in MD. And I can’t believe how young the boys look in the photos!
I have been getting emails wondering about the 2009 Calendar. Here is the scoop. The calendar is currently at the printer. It went to print in the early morning hours of September 27th. The target completion date from the printer is October 13th. Add on shipping time from California and the calendars are tentatively scheduled to arrive on October 16th. Which means they will most likely go on sale the evening of October 16th or October 17th barring there are no issues with printing or shipping. I was thinking about doing a pre-sale when the calendars shipped so that I could get a head start on getting things ready to ship on my end. What do you think about that? Would you be interested in a pre-sale?
On an unrelated note, here are just a few pics of the pugs doing their thing.
Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy all the colors of Fall this weekend. That is the one thing I really do miss living in Florida. There is no Fall here!
Benjamin loves to chew and when he chews for hours on end in the evenings he naturally gets thirsty. During a normal chewing session, he makes a couple of trips to the water bowl and it isn’t uncommon for him to come close to emptying the pugs’ huge water bowl. But while he empties the water bowl, I would be surprised if he actually drinks more than a few tablespoons of water. We have labeled him the most inefficient canine drinker because he somehow always ends up soaking his chin and that cute little bit of extra skin under his neck with water.
I always thought he just dipped his chin in the water while he was drinking, but this super slow motion video of a dog drinking may shed a little bit of light on the subject. In any case, I found this video of how a dog drinks very fascinating.
