Bonus Laps

After Benny finishes a lap in the pool, he always hops out out and does a few extra land laps around the table. While it is usually very hot out, the pool cools him off enough to let him run wild. See Benny, the pool is good for something.

Swim Camp is Underway

I haven't talked about Swim Camp much this year, but Swim Camp is well underway. The pugs have been getting some pool time in pretty much every weekend. Because of the heat, our walks have been short, hot and to the point.

This year's swim camp is highly specialized for each pug. Henry plays his normal game of fetch, which pretty much gets him a full lap in. Between laps, he hops out of the pool and takes a little break. Then he comes back to the pool step when he is ready to do another lap.

Benny, hates to swim in the middle of the pool. He likes to stay near the edge of the pool. So, Benny, swims around the edge of the pool with a human in tow.

Luna likes to be near people in the pool, so she swims from person to person. When she reaches a person, they scoop her up and hold her for a bit until she is ready to swim again. Then she heads on over to the next person.

Concerned

Why all the concerned faces? Puffy is in the wash!

Some little pug, left his best friend puffy out in the yard and it got soaked during an afternoon thunderstorm. When puffy was finally saved from the yard, it was so filthy that it had to go in the wash. Things are always a bit tense in the house until we are sure that puffy successfully makes it out of the wash.

Lucky for us all, puffy came out in one piece and no worse for the wear. Whoosh!

Enjoy the weekend!

Benny & Cupid

More proof that Benny is obsessed with the cat. When have you ever known Benny to not be sleeping on a pile of pillows?

Sorry for the grainy picture. I shot this from across the room in low light. I knew as soon as I got up, Benny would stir so as not to be caught sleeping with the cat

Because the Cat Likes It

I'm pretty sure Benny only lays in this bed because Cupid, the cat, lays there from time to time. I'm not sure what his motives are but he always wants to do what the cat is doing. Does he play with her favorite toys and sleep in her bed because he wants to be cool like her? Or does he do those things so Cupid can't have them?

I don't even pretend to know what goes on in Benny's head. All I know is the cat plays it uber cool and pretends like none of it bothers her and that Benny doesn't even exist for that matter. But, have Cupid go near one of Benny's bones and Benny will have an instant melt down. Indifference is not one of Cupid's traits that Benny has mastered yet.

Old Times

I got to work from home one day last week and it was just like old times here in the OBP household. It took the pugs a little while to figure out that I wasn't leaving for the day, but once I settled down in my office, they soon joined me. All and all, it was a very productive day for me. I forgot how much the sounds of pugs snoring keeps me focused and on task
