The good folks at Bow-Wow Pet saw our post about their dog bed and were nice enough to send us two more of their beds so that each of the pugs would have their very own bed.

As soon as I got the beds out of the box, Benjamin & Henry were ready to test them out. Both boys agreed and thought the new beds were very cozy.
Thanks Bow-Wow Pet!

The other day I went outside to test the pool water and I saw this guy in my yard. Even though I was on the inside of a screened in area he still startled me, to say the least, and he was slithering all over the pugs’ favorite spot to sit when the grass is still wet with dew.

He kept bumping into the screen and I couldn’t figure out what he was doing. Finally, he found his way inside the drainage strip of my pool deck. The pool area is screened in and surrounded by cool deck. About 3 feet away from the house, a drainage strip that is about a half inch wide runs along the length of the deck. The strip is made of a heavy rubber and has little slots in it that allows the water to pass through when it is not full of pug hair. The water then exits from either side of the deck.

It is hard to see it in this picture, but right underneath the gutter there is small break in the concrete of the deck. This allows the excess water to flow out. We have another hole just like this on the other side of the deck. Well, the snake is using this little tunnel to get from one side of the yard to the other side of my house! Not cool! I’m going to have to make that a toll road. Because if he wants to get to the other side of the yard he is just going to have to slither around the long way!
So needless to say, I am now paranoid every time the pugs are in the yard. I’m all for nature and wildlife, but nature can happen outside of my fence. The only critters I want inside my fence are pugs!

‘Cause if she is she is going to be in the dog house!

Ben is determined that he is going to become friends with the cat. He is very optimistic, but so far he has made no progress. Cupid is a bit of a grudge holder and she has never forgiven Benjamin for his indiscretions as a puppy. She is on good terms with Henry and Luna and this really bothers Ben.
Keep trying Baby Benny. Who knows, one day she may just give in.
