I don’t know about you, but my boys used to pick up everything they came across when they were puppies. They are much better now (or should I say much more selective now) that they are almost 3 years old and have learned the “drop it” command.
Benjamin has come a long way since he was a pup and knows that he isn’t supposed to eat everything that he finds on his walk. He does well resisting most things, but he just can seem to resist picking up mulch.
Henry, on the other hand, may pick up a piece of mulch occasionally, but he generally finds much more interesting items. Here are just some of the things I have had the privilege to pull out of his mouth on our walks over the years:
- Gum
- Rocks
- Popcorn
- Unchewed chicklet
- Chicken wing bone
- Part of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- Cicada
- Bread (left out for birds)
- Cheerios (a whole trail left behind by a toddler in a stroller)
- Rice Chex (I think this was left out for the birds too)
- 5 dollar bill
Now you may be thinking to yourself where do these people live, but I assure you we live in a very nice, and fairly clean neighborhood. Henry just has a knack for finding unusual items.
Since the boys have improved so much it is a laughing matter now, but when they were puppies it was a very frustrating behavior. So if you are thinking that you should have named your puggie “hoover”, have patience. They do seem to get a bit better with age.

It’s that time again to pick a new Pug Mug winner from our picture gallery. This month we have chosen Gus!
Gus is a sleepy head that likes to sleep in ‘til noon on most days. I don’t know about you, but there sure are a lot of mornings I can relate to Gus!
Also, we have added a new poll to the site. This month we are interested in finding out what color is your pug? If you haven’t voted yet you can find the latest poll here.
More to come soon!

There was finally a break in the clouds last Sunday, so we decided to go to the Lake to enjoy the good weather. The boys had a great time chasing each other and running in piles of leaves. They met some other pups that were out on the trails as well and while the water at the lake was quite chilly they managed to get their paws wet while climbing on some of the rocks at the lake’s edge.
Here are some pics of the boys in the action:
A great time was had by all!

Two sleepy heads on Sunday morning. As you can see, neither one had big plans for the day.
