This is a little tribute to Ben’s Puffy done to the tune of the children’s song Billy Boy.
Oh where have you been, puffy puff, puffy puff?
Oh where have you been, my little puffy?
I have fallen under the bed
While you were a sleepy head
I am not missing just go ask your mother
Oh where have you been, puffy puff, puffy puff?
Oh where have you been, little puffy?
You have left me by the pool
Oh you silly puggy fool
I am not missing just go ask your mother
Oh where have you been puffy puff, puffy puff?
Oh where have you been, little puffy?
You dropped me in the yard
When you were running hard
I am not missing just go ask your mother
Oh where have you been puffy puff, puffy puff?
Oh where have you been, little puffy?
You forgot me in the bin
But that’s not a mortal sin
I am not missing just go ask your mother

This is just classic Baby Benny. He plays hard and relaxes like no other. There is no in between with him. He is either on the go or he is passed out. It’s just what makes him Benny!
And, Happy Birthday, G-Pa!

Benny was perched up on the arm of the sofa the other day and he looked to be deep in thought. Perhaps he was thinking about the best way to get the yummy peanut butter center out of the rawhide bone. Or maybe he was thinking about how to outsmart his brother and actually catch him while playing chase. In any case, his concentration was quickly broken as something in front of the house caught his eye.

The last time that we took the pugs canoeing, Benny’s life jacket pretty much fell apart while we were there. Since Benny isn’t much of a swimmer we didn’t replace his vest until this weekend. We have been thinking about taking the pugs on another early morning canoe outing and we wanted Benny to have a new life jacket to have on the boat with us.
We also made him test it out in the pool on Sunday. Gotta make sure it works, Benny!

Do you remember a while back when I tweeted about Benny trying to mark something out of his reach and peeing on his paw? Well, those pretty flowers in the hanging basket, just above Benny’s head in this photo, are what Benny was trying to mark when he had his little incident. Despite dirtying up his paw, Benny did not give up in trying to claim them for his own. The other morning, around 3am, Benny needed to go out to go potty. We both made our way outside and Benny attempted to mark the flowers again. In his tired stupor, Benny lifted his leg but lost his footing on the rocks which caused him to knock into the hanging pot. The pot, in turn, swung back and nearly knocked Benny off his feet. Flower pot 2, Benny 0.

On Friday night I gave the pugs a bath. Everything was business as usual. The pugs each took turns and they ran around the house after they were all cleaned up. As I was finishing up in the bathroom, the pugs came barreling in and were wrestling around. That is when I noticed one of them was bleeding all over the tile. We quickly determined that it was Benjamin. In all his running around, he must have cracked his toenail because that was were all the blood was coming from. However, it must not have hurt because it didn’t slow him down one bit. We got the bleeding stopped in no time and then I braced myself to see the damage. I was quite surprised at how much ground Benny had covered since his bath. He had blood from one end of the house to the other. Luckily, most of it was on the tile which made for easy cleanup. However, he did manage to get quite a bit of blood on our comforter. You know the one.
So I figured that now would be a good time to give the blood setting on the washing machine a try again. It has gotten blood out of clothes in the past so I was keeping my fingers crossed hoping it would work its magic again.
The blood setting takes forever, so I threw the comforter in the wash and went on to other things. When the washer was finally done we pulled it out and looked it over to see if the blood stains came out. The good news is the blood came out! The bad news is that in some spots it turned the red circles into orange circles! It must have mistaken them for blood 
So now our comforter is a nice gradient. I couldn’t keep from laughing. If someone remarks that the circles are orange, I am just going to correct them and tell them they aren’t orange, their Benjamin’s version of red.

Benny is pouting because he knows I am about to clean his dirty little wrinkles. It is hot and humid and he has been out playing a lot lately and all those things make his wrinkles a mess. Got to keep on top of my cranky old man’s wrinkles
