Puppy Pictures

We were looking through the photo albums this weekend and we came across some adorable pics of the boys when they were puppies.  Here are some of my favorites.

This is a shot of the boys anxiously looking to see where everyone went.  We were visiting family when this shot was taken.  The boys are about a year old here and to me what is the funniest thing is that Benjamin is almost as tall as Henry.  Now that they are fully grown, Henry towers over Ben.

This shot was taken in Ocean City, MD.  We decided to take the boys to the beach for a day trip.  While walking on the boardwalk, we passed by a sign for Red Dog and of course could not resist making the boys pose next to a sign marked dog.  To complete his beach look, Benjamin is wearing an infant muscle tee.

Here is a shot of the boys sleeping in their toy basket at about 12 weeks old.  Before we brought the boys home, we went out and bought them a nice, lined wicker toy basket and filled it with toys.  We were young and naive because the boys had the toy box completely chewed in about one morning.  I guess we weren’t really thinking like a puppy when we bought the basket!

This is Baby Benny at about 12 weeks old.  When he was truly Baby Benny.

Luna’s New Sundress

We saw this sundress in the store and we just had to get it for Luna.  It is a pretty good fit and she just loves to prance around the house wearing it.  Here she is in the yard playing in her new dress.

Table Tops

The first day we brought Luna home, she jumped up on the coffee table much to everyone’s surprise in the room.  We were just sitting on the couch watching TV, the boys and Luna were on the sofa with us when Luna just decided to hop down from the sofa and get a better view of the TV by sitting on the coffee table.

Ever since then we have been working with Luna to teach her some boundaries and to help her learn that she is not allowed to climb on every flat surface in the house.  If I have told her once, I have told her a hundred times, “Tables are for mugs, not pugs!”

While she has gotten a bit better the other night she went strolling on the table again.  Its hard to correct her though when she just looks so darn cute perched up there.

How does your pug cool down?

There is a severe heat wave across many parts of the country, so we are interested in knowing how your pug stays cool or cools down after a walk or a hard day of play.

Joe Cool

While this summer has not been that hot by Florida standards, it is still quite toasty.  So, we take our walks early in the morning and later at nights.  This is Henry after a longer walk in the evening.  As we’ve blogged earlier, he is definitely the brains of the pug trio.  To cool down he will lay on the tile floor in the kitchen.  Benny will lay on the rug or pillow or even on one of the throw rugs in the kitchen but never on the cool tile.  Because of his “cool tile strategy,” Henry is usually the one that stops panting first.  Henry is not only “King of the Yard” but his is also “King of the Smarts.”

Do you want to pet my monkey?

This is Luna sleeping with her “pet monkey.”  The funny thing about this monkey is that it is bigger than Luna.  It also has a unique “squeaker.”  The noise maker inside the monkey is more like a “screecher.”  It screeches like a monkey.  The arms and legs of the monkey are about 2 feet long and Luna loves to drag the monkey around by it’s limbs.  Then she’ll shake the monkey relentlessly and when she is all done abusing the monkey, she takes the monkey up to bed and cuddles up with him.  So, while it may look like Luna loves this little monkey, does she really?  Or is it a love/hate relationship?  Is the monkey on Luna’s back or is Luna on the monkey’s back?  I think they take turns.
