This weekend we decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. We took the boys to a local park and went for a nice, long walk on the trails.
While walking we came across a bird observation deck. The deck was about two stories off the ground and had a nice bench at the top. Everyone eagerly climbed the stairs to the top of the deck and gazed out at the trees and the water below. Baby Benny appears to be afraid of heights because he wasn’t too keen on going close to the edge and looking out.
We did however take a small break from our walk and enjoy the view for a bit. During that time, everyone sat on the bench and waited while we looked around.
After our short break, it was back to the trails. The boys had fun smelling and trotting along. Little Luna was going full steam ahead and was very anxious to go exploring. We had fun and after our long walk everyone was quite tired and ready for a nap.

The other day, while I was working, I glanced over at the gang laying on their dog bed and I noticed that Benny had commandeered Henry’s favorite plush toy and was using it as his personal pillow.
Henry didn’t seem to mind, though. He was fast asleep and not paying any attention to Benny.

When we decided we were going to adopt another dog, one of the biggest worries I had was how the boys would react. The boys have such a strong bond and an interesting dynamic that I didn’t want to ruin that by brining a third pug into the house. At the other end of the spectrum, I was worried that since the boys have such a strong bond, they would want nothing to do with the new pug.
We have had Luna for about two months and luckily none of my worries are true. The boys have accepted Luna and welcomed her to the pack and Benjamin & Henry are still the inseparable duo they were before Luna arrived.
I feel really lucky that the boys have accepted Luna so well. She has only been here for two months but it feels like she has always been a part of our family. I give a lot of credit to the boys, but I also give a lot of credit to Luna. The little girl is so eager to please and I think she really likes her big brothers. I know the boys love having a little sister.

When Henry sits in your lap, one of the first things he usually does is throw himself on his back. He has complete trust that you will catch him and help him get comfortable so you really need to be paying attention or else he may just throw himself right off your lap. Once he has settled in, he will stay there forever. Sometimes he naps, but most of the time he just watches what is going on in the room.
The other day, we were sitting at the table and Henry had been on my lap for a good half hour. So we decided to play a little dress up with him. We gave him a bib and I guess he liked it. He sat with his bib on for about 15 minutes before I finally had to get up and do some chores around the house.

Weekday mornings are pretty hectic around here. We get up, feed the dogs, go for a short walk, get ready for work, eat breakfast and then rush off to work. Weekends are great because there is usually extra time to sit around and talk after eating breakfast. During this time, a pug or two will usually join you at the table and quietly rest on your lap. There is nothing better than down time with the gang.

This odd shot is a picture of Luna’s chest while she is laying on her back. As a result of mange, Luna has some bald patches in her coat. Now that she no longer has mange we are hoping some of her fur will start to grow back. If you look real close at the picture above you can see where new fur growth is starting. The new growth is mainly on the right by her paw.
We are so proud, our baby girl is starting to get hair on her chest!

The weather was gorgeous this weekend so we decided to spend some time working in the garden getting everything ready for spring. The boys love to be lounging outside while we are working in the garden so we made sure to bring them. This was Luna’s first garden experience and she did a great job. We just have to work on her green thumb a bit because she had a tendency to stand on the newly planted flowers.
