Benny is a creature of habit. One of the things he does every morning is pull up a chair at the breakfast table. Every morning, without fail, when I am getting breakfast ready, he hops up into his chair and makes himself comfortable. What always cracks me up is how he sits on the chair. One leg always hangs through the back of the chair and as he relaxes his tail always uncurls and hangs down as well.
Once he has settled, Benjamin has a clear view of all the food on the table. He watches everything we eat and sometimes he rests his head on the glass if we are eating foods he knows he doesn’t get. But, if a banana is cracked open, Benny perks up and waits for his share.
After breakfast is finished, Benjamin inevitably succumbs to his sleepiness and sprawls out on the chair.
Lately, I have been feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed by my work load. Luckily, Benjamin is always willing to lend a helping hand and fill in for me. Just look how well he works under pressure!
The good folks at Bow-Wow Pet saw our post about their dog bed and were nice enough to send us two more of their beds so that each of the pugs would have their very own bed.
As soon as I got the beds out of the box, Benjamin & Henry were ready to test them out. Both boys agreed and thought the new beds were very cozy.
Ben is determined that he is going to become friends with the cat. He is very optimistic, but so far he has made no progress. Cupid is a bit of a grudge holder and she has never forgiven Benjamin for his indiscretions as a puppy. She is on good terms with Henry and Luna and this really bothers Ben.
Keep trying Baby Benny. Who knows, one day she may just give in.
Benjamin, Henry & Luna are always very interested when I make the food bowls for the week. However, it takes me quite some time to make all the bowls so sometimes the pugs get bored. Benjamin has come up with a good solution, though. He perches himself on the back of the sofa. From there he has a perfect view of all the bowls on the counter and he is perfectly comfortable.
The boys are very fierce tug players. Neither one of them likes to lose and they are both very intense while playing. Luna hates it when the boys play tug. Partly because they are not paying attention to her and partly because they sound so mean. Just listen to all that growling going on.
