Whenever the paper towel roll runs out the boys and I always have a little bit of fun playing with cardboard tube that is left. They fetch it, play tug with it, tear it up and turn their heads from side to side as I utter weird things through the tube. So imagine my surprise when the blinds I ordered for our sliding door arrived in a huge tube over 8 feet long - which to the boys was just a gigantic paper towel roll!
After I unpacked the tube the boys were having a blast barking and running around the tube - no fetching with this one. They were a bit afraid of the tube and wouldn’t really come too close to it, so I set the tube at an angle and started sliding treats through the tube to the boys on the other side. Well, once the tube started dispensing treats the boys willing came around and started sticking their heads up the tube searching for more prizes. Looking through the tube at the boys here is what I could see.
The boys had a great time playing with the tube and finding all of the treats. Needless to say, when we were finished I had the thrill of hanging the blinds!

The boys are generally well behaved, model pug citizens. Sometimes, so well behaved that I feel bad, like they never get to have any of that “I know I’m being bad, but this is just too much fun” kind of bad.
So last Saturday morning, after I was finished reading the newspaper the boys were pretty playful so I decided to let them shred the paper. Shredding paper was one of their favorite things, that I never really let them do while they were pups, so I thought that I would let them go to town ripping the paper to bits. At first the boys were reluctant to get started, but after I started ripping some pages myself they got into the act and had a good time running around the house with bits of paper flying everywhere.
We all had a blast and the paper wasn’t too hard to get cleaned up. I know, shredding paper isn’t really that “bad”, but the boys were having some of that mischievous fun and that’s all that really matters.

This is it. Today is the last day to submit pictures to the 2006 Calendar Contest.
I am pleasantly surprised at the number of entries that we received so far in the contest and I am very excited to get started designing the calendar. It has been so much fun checking out the new entries each day and seeing all the cute pug pictures.
I will keep you updated and let you know as soon as the winners have been chosen. If you haven’t submitted your picture yet don’t worry, you still have until midnight tonight to send in your picture.

There is nothing Benny likes more than a big pile of pillows! Whenever Ben gets tired and nobody is sitting down to hold him he always finds a nice pillow to snuggle up with. Most of the time he heads for my bed and flips all the pillows around until he gets them just right.

Here are some shots of the boys when they were around 10 weeks old (they are now 3). Looking back, I just can’t believe they were ever that small. I have a lot of pictures of the boys as puppies, but unfortunately none of them are digital. Some time, when I have some time on my hands, I will have to scan in all of their puppy photos. If only I had a digital camera when they were pups!

I am very pleased to say that the first annual OwnedByPugs.com 2006 Calendar Contest is going very well. So far we have received 265 submissions! All of the pictures submitted are wonderful and designing the calendar with so many great pictures to choose from is going to be a hard task!
BUT, with 2 more weeks left to submit pictures, there is plenty of time to send in more pictures and we look forward to receiving more adorable pug pictures. Remember, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Calendar will go to benefit the Maryland Pug Rescue.
Thanks to all who have submitted pictures already and keep the picture rolling in!

Last night was a pretty nice night outside, so we decided to go out for ice cream. They boys came and patiently waited for their very own cup of Caramel custard. Needless to say, they loved it! Afterwards, Benny (who loves to lick) had the cutest “cake batter” smelling breath.
