Side Saddle

Benny used to sit like this from time to time when he was a pup, but as he has aged he sits side saddle more and more often. It must feel good on the ole joints.

I also want it to go on record that Benny is sitting in wet grass. It is almost impossible to get him to even walk in wet grass, but on this day, he threw caution to the wind and just plopped right down.

Hot Spot

The big pillow is the place to be in the morning. After the pugs eat their breakfast they settle in for their first morning nap. If you didn't know better you would think this was the only bed in the house!

Helpers

I worked a half a day from home recently and this was the scene in my office. All three were snoring at once. It was quite a productive afternoon for me!

Lunchtime Chew

Benjamin, Henry and Luna have always been big chewers. But as they have aged, their chewing habits have changed a bit. Instead of chewing everyday throughout the day, they go through chewing spurts instead. They might not touch a bone for a week, but then they chew nonstop for a few days.

Benjamin is on one of those chewing spurts right now and I don't think it is going to end until he completely chews all of this particular bully stick. Not only has he been chewing on this stick in the evenings, he has also been gnawing on it after lunch when Grammy comes to hang out with him. In fact, Grammy sent me this shot!

Creature of Habit

I have always said that Benny loves his routines and this video is even more proof that Benny operates on his own schedule. Grammy comes to see the pugs during the day and when she leaves she puts them to bed. Benjamin, Henry and Luna get a few hours of nap time in their crate before we get home from work. The pugs know when it is getting close to quitting time for us because they are always hear us come in. The other day I came home from work a little early (shortly after Grammy put the pugs to bed) and Benjamin was passed out! It was very clear that he wasn't expecting anyone to come home so early.

All My Pugs in a Row

"Driveway Time" is my absolute favorite part of the day. During the week, driveway time happens right when I get home from work. Once I park in the garage, the pugs run out of the house to greet me (and to see if I happened to bring home anything yummy). After the greetings and the inspection of my car and lunch box, we just hang out in the driveway for a bit. It is the absolute best way to unwind!

The Cleaner

Benjamin has always been the go to pug for cleaning up small spills, but this is an all time low for even him. I spilled a bit of chicken juice (from cooked chicken). Unfortunately, in addition to getting on the floor, it ran down the front of the cabinet as well. I thought I did a pretty good job of cleaning it up, but Benjamin clearly does not agree.
