Happy Birthday, Benjamin!

On Sunday Baby Benny will turn 9 years old. It seems like only yesterday he was always racing around the house and eating my shoelaces.

In honor of Benny's birthday, I would like share a few of my favorite Benny blog moments.

I'm not exactly sure what we are going to do to celebrate Benny's special day, but I will be sure to tell you all about it on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

Inseparable

Benjamin

Wherever Benny goes puffy is sure to follow.

This is pretty much the scene every morning. Benny finds puffy and hunkers down on the couch. Whenever Benny is feeling content, like right after he eats, you can be sure that puffy will be with him.

Part of me can't believe that he still carries puffy around. Puffy was the first toy given to him by G-Ma almost 9 years ago. The fact that it is still intact is amazing!

Reinforcement

Benjamin

The boys have this thing where if one of them barks, the other comes running as backup. Luna often joins them, but a lot of times she is busy and doesn't really care what her silly brothers are barking at. However, you can always count on the boys to go running if there hear the other one barking.

Yesterday morning, Henry heard a noise coming from the backyard area, so he bolted out the doggie door and off in the direction of the noise barking his head off. Benjamin, promptly sprung into action as well, although it was clear that he didn't hear anything. The only issue is that it was raining yesterday morning. So rather than bolt into the yard with his brother, Benjamin stood at the doggie door that leads outside and barked his head off. A win win in his eyes. He provided moral support for his bro, albeit from a distance, and stayed nice and dry inside the house.

Temptation

Benjamin

The other morning, Benjamin pulled up a chair at the breakfast table and was eyeing my banana. The evil part of me loves to test the pugs. Especially, when it is a choice between something they really want (food) and something they know they shouldn't do (eat off the table).

So, while Benny was eyeing my banana, I moved the banana to the edge of the table so that it was easily in Benny's reach. He sniffed it a few times and then played it cool. He learned a while ago, the hard way I might add, that bananas are foods you peel before you eat. So, I knew that an unpeeled banana wasn't going to be much of a temptation for him.

So, I opened the banana just a tad and sat it back on the table. Benny became much more interested and smelled the banana and then licked his lips and smelled the banana a bit more. He looked at the banana, then looked at me, back at the banana and then back to me. It was as if he knew it was one of my sinister tests. So, I of course caved and give him, Henry and Luna a few bites of banana.

Mr. Bean

Benjamin

Benjamin's 9th birthday is sneaking up on him and so is the gray. I think it makes him look more distinguished. He thinks it makes him look like he needs a treat.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Playful

Benjamin & Henry

This is a shot of the boys after their bath a few weeks ago, but lately Benjamin & Henry have been romping around the house more and more. When they were pups it was all play all the time, then Luna came along and they each had someone more interesting to play with. Then they decided that sitting on the couch is more fun than chasing each other.

But, lately, they are back to wrestling around for a bit in the evenings, usually right before we go on our walk. The roughhousing doesn't last nearly as long as it did when they were pups, but it still makes me smile to see them play even a little bit. While they are many years older, their style of play hasn't changed much at all. Benny still likes to nip at Henry's ankles and Henry loves to grab hold of that big ole wrinkle on the side of Benny's face and pull him around the house. Boys!

On a side note, I received an email from Grannygoogs early this morning. Looks like she is back online. I will make sure that she receives today's Daily Pug Picture and hopefully we will see her around soon.

Monday Mornings

Benjamin and Henry

I think it doesn't matter how good of a weekend you had or how much sleep you got on Sunday night or what you have to look forward to in the upcoming week, Monday mornings tend to make everyone a little grumpy.
