This weekend we went to the dog park so Benjamin, Henry & Luna could get out and run around a bit. The great thing about the dog park that we went to is that there are plenty of trees in the park, which means plenty of shade. This was great for the boys and Luna because it is still pretty hot here in FL.
There were a handful of small dogs there when we arrived so there were plenty of playmates for Benjamin, Henry & Luna. The boys, of course, took to a Pit Bull puppy that was rescued from the pound. This made me very nervous at first, but she was a real sweetheart and they made great playmates (she could handle the boys tag teaming her).
Luna found a couple of little dogs her size and chased them around for a while. I snapped a lot of pictures of her playing, but they all came out blurry! I guess I will have plenty of pics for the bloopers.
After playing for a bit, Henry made himself comfortable on a bench at the park and kept watch over everything that was going on.

Here we have Henry with last year’s scarecrow, a Baltimore Orioles fan (can you tell that we have not celebrated many sport victories in this house). Henry was borderline obsessed with this scarecrow. He treated the scarecrow like a real person and was always sitting at his feet and jumping up on his lap. He was pretty much begging for the scarecrow to pet him. As you can see in the picture, Henry and the scarecrow are deep into a conversation.
Looking forward to your captions in the comments!
Oh, and don’t forget to enter your picture into our Halloween Costume Contest!

Hello everyone! Thanks to all that have voted for Benjamin & Henry in the PetSource Halloween Costume Contest. The boys are currently in the lead, but there is a new “Sheriff” that is catching up quick! If you have the time please drop by and vote for the boys. You can vote up to one time a day and I believe the contest runs until Halloween. After you register the first time, voting is a lot easier. The quickest way to find the boys is to sort by Most Voted. Hopefully, we will still be at the top 
The boys are dressed as Batman & Robin
If we win, $1,000 goes to Compassionate Pug Rescue. We would love to be able to win the money for them.
Thanks so much!

I have a question for all you pug lovers out there. When did your pugs start to go gray? Little Luna is about 4 years old, but as you can see her face is already very gray. The boys, on the other hand, are 5 years old and have a lot less gray. However, I did notice little bits of gray creeping in on their chins when they were about 2 years old. Right now, the are primarily gray on their chins with a little bit of gray on their face.

I just entered a picture of Benjamin & Henry into PetSource.com’s Halloween Costume Contest. The entry that gets the most votes gets a $1,000 donation to the animal charity of their choice. We would love to win and send $1,000 to Compassionate Pug Rescue. They nursed little Luna back to health and they have have recently helped so many pugs that were in need of costly medical attention. So if you can, please drop by and cast a vote for Benjamin & Henry in Luna’s honor! You can vote one time per day.
For some reason, I can’t link directly to our entry. But right now it is on the front page if you sort by newest.

With a brother that must scratch on the pillow before he can settle, there is always little pieces of pillow fuzz everywhere. Sometimes they just end up in the oddest places!

We got this bench for the backyard about a year ago, so that we would have a nice place to sit while the pugs played in the yard. Like most things, the pugs thought the bench was for them. At least one of them is lounging on it most mornings and when we are all out in the yard that is one crowded bench!
