When I was out at Walmart this weekend, I saw an assortment of kiddie pools all lined up. I immediately thought of Benny, Henry & Luna and thought that since Benny & Luna don’t really care much for the pool since they can’t touch the bottom that this would be the perfect way for them to cool off while everyone else was swimming. So we splurged and spent the $8.00 on the pool and went to the checkout with huge grins on our faces.
It was plenty hot this weekend and we couldn’t wait to cool off on the pool on Saturday. So, before we got in we setup the pugs’ new puppy pool. They were immediately interested in what we were doing, but Benjamin & Luna got a little less interested when they saw that we were putting water in the pool.
After everything was setup, we plopped Henry in the pool. He turned around in a circle and immediately jumped out of the pool. He simply could not be seen in such a baby pool.
Next in was Luna, and this came as a complete shock to us, but little Luna like the pool the best! She walked around a bit, and stood (she would not sit) there cooling down.
Benjamin was very confused by the pool and was not sure why we had purchases such a big water bowl. When we put him in the pool he just walked around lapping up all the water and throughout the day he kept walking over to the pool, sticking his head over the edge and helping himself to a refreshing drink.
Even though Luna liked the pool, she didn’t really want to be in there all by herself.
After the pugs had a chance to play in there pool, I think the general consensus was that the next time I am in Walmart, I should only visit the grocery side of the store and I should not come home unless I have treats for pugs. Oh, well! At least the cat liked the pool!

Here we have Benjamin who has decided to pull up a chair and get to work on the computer. I think he heard somebody mention something about cookies and websites. That was all it took to peak Benny’s curiosity!

The pugs wanted some sun and they got more than they could handle this weekend. The rain stopped early Friday morning and the sun came back with a vengeance. It was extremely hot this weekend!
The pugs jumped on the opportunity to bask in the sun the moment it peaked out from behind a cloud on Friday, but after about 15 minutes the boys were ready come back inside and enjoy some A.C. and Luna crawled under the lounge chair hoping to cool off in the shade!

There has been very little sunshine the last few days here on the east coast of FL. Without sunbeams to bask in, the pugs have been a little down in the dumps.
Yesterday, Benjamin had to bury himself in the couch because he couldn’t stand the thought of having to make another pee pee in the rain!
And Henry & Luna have turned to each for support to get through these gloomy days.
Here’s hoping for some sunshine for Benny, Henry & Luna who are missing it dearly.

It’s that time of the year again! Time to gather up all your pictures and submit them to the Owned by Pugs’ Calendar Contest. This is our third year holding the contest and we could not be more excited to get things rolling. You can get the complete contest details here and if you have any questions please let me know.
When the calendars go on sale, a portion of the proceeds from each calendar sale will be donated to Compassionate Pug Rescue. CPR holds a very special spot in our heart because they brought little Luna into our lives. In the meantime, I am asking all those who enter the calendar contest to consider donating $5 to CPR. The donation is not mandatory and the contest is free to enter, but I would really like to be able to raise some funds for CPR before the calendars go on sale. CPR has taken in many pugs this year with very serious eye injuries and we all know how quick veterinarian bills add up.
I look forward to seeing everyone’s entries and I hope you can help me spread the word about the Calendar Contest. Please let all your pug loving friends know about the contest, too! Hopefully, we can make this the biggest and best calendar yet!

Benny is always perched atop the back of the sofa and from time to time I catch him checking himself out in the mirror that hangs on the wall behind the sofa. The boy knows he’s cute and I guess every once and again he likes to make sure his fur is not must and that he wrinkles look just right. In the picture, above, is Benny’s reflection and is what he sees as he gazes at himself in the mirror.

Here we have Henry taking a seat at an outdoor amphitheater near our house. He pretty much picked out the best seat and claimed it for himself. Can’t wait to read your captions in the comments!
