I have been enjoying taking the pictures for the Fashion Forward posts on Sunday. It is fun to pull out all of the old outfits from the pugs’ closet. But I wanted to share a little behind the scenes dirt on what it it like to work with little Luna. Sure, she looks like a perfect angel in the first two Sunday posts so far, but let me tell you that girl is the wiggliest of all the wiggle worms. It seems like a part of her is always in motion. Her tail, her tongue, it could be anything. The hardest part, though, is that she hasn’t mastered the stay command yet. She will sit like a pretty angel, but as soon as I kneel down to take a picture of her she is in my lap. It is quite amusing.
So, the fashion forward posts have been a great opportunity for us to work with Luna on the stay command. So far, Luna 2, mommy 0.

I spent most of the weekend working on the calendar, so the pugs had lots of chewing time this weekend. They had nice new knucklebones to keep them busy while I worked, but their chewing reminded me of something I wanted to blog about awhile back.
Henry has a thing with compressed rawhide bones. Instead of just chewing them, he likes to peel the rawhide off in layers. Unfortunately, he is quite good at it too! As he peels away the layers, I take them away because they are what we call “choking hazards”.
Benjamin hates it when Henry unravels a rawhide bone. Benjamin’s preferred plan of attack is to get the bone so slobbery on an end that it pretty much turns to mush.
Depending on the size of the rawhide strip that Henry pulls off, we sometimes let Luna chew on it. Luna has such a tiny mouth that she couldn’t even come close to getting the larger pieces into her mouth. She will happily chew for hours on a piece of rawhide that we had to take away from Henry.
On a completely different note, how is everyone that was in Ike’s path doing? I hope everyone is OK.

This week we have little Luna showing off her Mommy’s Girl t-shirt with matching bandana. We got this shirt at a local dog boutique around the time we found out that Luna was going to need surgery on her eye to remove the tumor that pratically popped up over night.

This week’s flashback: Down on the Farm
Pumpkin bread is back at Bob Evans so I thought it would only be fitting to share the post of the first time the boys had pumpkin bread, back in October 2005. By the time we adopted Luna, the boys were already head over paws in love with pumpkin bread!

A few weeks ago, we were cutting the grass when we noticed this guy walking down the street. Seeing him moseying down the street, I ran into the house to get my camera. I snapped a few pictures and we marveled about the size of this turtle.
After, I snapped a few pictures, the turtle started on his way down the street again, but took a detour straight up our driveway when he heard the pugs barking their heads off at him at the front door. The turtle got about 8 feet from the door and stopped to look at the pugs. He sat there for a second and then he was on his way back down the driveway to head back down the street.
We went back to cutting the grass and didn’t really think much about the turtle. After all, this is Florida and I am coming to learn that you never know what is lurking around.
A few days later, I go out at lunchtime to run a few errands when I see a sign posted on the community mailbox. It’s a sign for a missing turtle! My heart sank. I couldn’t believe it. Just a few days ago I was snapping pictures of someone’s missing pet and then I let that pet just wander down the street. I jotted down the phone number and was going to give the owners a call when I got back from running my errands. Even though there was no way for me to know that the turtle was someone’s pet I still felt bad.
Shortly after I got back home, I saw my neighbor walk past my house with a big turtle in his hands. He saw the guy wandering around and was going to hold him until the owners could come and get him. I felt so relieved! About 10 minutes later the turtle was reunited with its owners!
I was so glad that the turtle made it back home safe and sound.
