Sunday was a gorgeous day and since we haven’t been to the beach in a while we thought it would be a perfect day to take the boys to the beach and let them romp in the sand. There is just something about the sand that gets Benjamin & Henry fired up and ready to run. In the picture, Henry is running full steam at Benjamin and putting the moves on so that he can successfully avoid Benjamin who is getting ready to pounce.
By the time we left the boys were sufficiently tired and covered in sand, which for them is a sign of a great time!

There is nothing the boys enjoy more than a game of “pug of war.” Mostly, they play tug with their stuffed animals, which means that there are a lot of plush animals missing ears, arms and other limbs in their toy box.
Earlier this month, the boys had their teeth cleaned and the vet mentioned how a good game of tug can do wonders for good dental health. So we bought a nice rope toy in hopes that the next game of tug would lead to a good flossing. However, Henry had other ideas and wanted to play tug with one of his new plush toys he got for Christmas. While playing tug, Henry flashed his pearly whites. Although jagged and crooked, they are clean!

After a little debate, Santa decided that Benjamin & Henry have been good boys this year and left some presents under the tree for them and their sister, Cupid the cat. They are anxiously waiting for Christmas morning so they can open all their presents.
We hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday season!

The weather was gorgeous on Sunday and Benjamin and Henry spent much of their morning romping around the yard and rolling in the grass. They had brought a few of their favorite toys into the yard and we played a nice game of chase and tug with one their favorite toys the ducky.
They also had some fun chewing and scratching on some frisbees that we got at a K9 Frisbee show a few months back. Neither one will fetch the frisbee. They find it very hard to pick up and carry. However, they do like to chew on it.

It is still quite warm here in Florida so when we go on walks in the afternoons, the boys are warm and panting by the time we get home. Well, one of Henry’s favorite places to lay after a long warm walk is on the cool tile floor. Well, yesterday after a nice walk, Henry decided he needed a bed friend to cozy up to after his walk. So, when he got home, he went to his toy basket, grabbed his ducky buddy and hugged up to it on the cool tile floor.

On Sunday, we decided to put up the tree for Christmas. Trimming the tree is an all day process and needless to say Benjamin & Henry didn’t have much fun. But the boys took it all in stride knowing that they need to have a tree in order for Santa to leave them presents.

Benjamin is thankful for his “Puffy”. He has had this furry, little disc since he was a puppy and he likes to have it near him at all times. He takes it to bed with him every night and some days I have to convince him to leave the “Puffy” at home when we go on walks.
Henry is thankful for his new swimming pool and yard. There is nothing he likes to do more than to play fetch in the pool and to sun himself in the yard.
Benjamin and Henry are both thankful to have a brother to share all of their adventures. They have been “brothers” since Benjamin was 13 weeks old and Henry was 12 weeks old. They have had countless wrestling matches, been on thousands of walks together and have tag teamed too many dogs to count at the dog park. They go together like peas and carrots!

Cupid, Benjamin & Henry’s sister, is thankful for her new freedom to go outside in the screened-in area and in the yard while carefully supervised. She loves to chase all the bugs and to munch on some grass while in the yard. She has a hard time showing it, but she is thankful to have two brothers too.
Finally, I am thankful for my family, friends and my fantastic furkids. They bring so much joy to my life and can always put a smile on my face. In addition, I am also thankful for all of the wonderful memories I have of the late Lou C.
Last but not least, I am also very thankful for all the OwnedByPugs.com visitors. It is fun and exciting to share your pug stories with others that are passionate about pugs. Thanks for reading!
Happy Thanksgiving!
