I think Luna really likes having two big brothers. From time to time, I will find her completely mimicking the boys. Today, at lunch, Benjamin & Luna were on the sofa relaxing and I just happened to notice that the two of them were laying the exact same way. It’s like Luna wants to be just like her big bro!
What I have been most fascinated by since we have adopted Luna is that she hasn’t learned much from us, in terms of training, but she has learned a ton of stuff from the boys. She just naturally picks up on what they do and just follows right along. I guess it is completely natural pack behavior, but it is different to see it at work in your own house.
With the boys it just seemed like it took forever for them to learn their manners and to get them to settle into a routine. But, Luna just walked right in and settled into the routine perfectly. Granted, she does do some things that the boys would never dream on doing (ahem, barking for table scraps), but for the most part she really follows their lead.
I am just really thankful that Luna had two big brothers to show her the ropes and that when she became part of the family the boys didn’t completely forget everything they had learned up until that point.

This is why Benjamin pretty much gets whatever he wants. I just can’t resist that wrinkly face!

There has been very little sunshine the last few days here on the east coast of FL. Without sunbeams to bask in, the pugs have been a little down in the dumps.
Yesterday, Benjamin had to bury himself in the couch because he couldn’t stand the thought of having to make another pee pee in the rain!
And Henry & Luna have turned to each for support to get through these gloomy days.
Here’s hoping for some sunshine for Benny, Henry & Luna who are missing it dearly.

Benny is always perched atop the back of the sofa and from time to time I catch him checking himself out in the mirror that hangs on the wall behind the sofa. The boy knows he’s cute and I guess every once and again he likes to make sure his fur is not must and that he wrinkles look just right. In the picture, above, is Benny’s reflection and is what he sees as he gazes at himself in the mirror.

Ben has a thing for scratching and flipping pillows around. He can clear the sofa of all throw pillows in a matter of seconds and once he does he just rolls around on the couch all proud of himself. It’s not just the throw pillows either. If it is fluffy and not attached he will do his best to fling it somewhere. I’m trying to get a picture of this, but sometimes when he scratches, his front paws move so fast that he has to prop himself up on his head. It is the funniest thing. He is supporting himself with his head and his little paws are going 90 mph. He is an odd guy.

I must confess the boys & Luna have way too many plush toys. They have a little over two toy bins full of various plush toys, but one of them is always playing (or should I say dismembering) with one of them. They do have their favorites, though, and they seem to drag those toys everywhere. They nap with them, take them in the yard and sometimes Benny will even try to convince you to let him take his puffy on a walk with him. With the amount of action that these toys get they can get pretty filthy. So this weekend was bath time for all the plush toys. We did two loads of plush toys and a few more loads for their dog bedding and pillows. The toys all cleaned up very nicely and the dog beds smell very nice. So now the boys & Luna are on a mission to dirty everything back up again!
