I’m Gonna Make You Love Me

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.

The View

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.

Tug

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.

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty

The real Calico cat of the house will have nothing to do with Benjamin, so Benny has to resort to cuddling with the little cat blanket that we actually got for the cat.

Benny is quite flabbergasted by the fact that the cat doesn’t like him.  He just doesn’t understand why the cat doesn’t care for him much.

It’s no mystery to anyone else, though.  First, the cat doesn’t like it when you take her stuff.  *Ahem*, you are laying on her blanket there, Benny.  And second, the cat doesn’t really respond well to those that charge her at full speed with their tags jingling and then abruptly stopping an inch away from her face.  Her reaction to Benny doing that is the same thing that she does with any jingly toy that crosses her path.  She baps it with her paw.

The cats favorite pug - Luna.  At first I was surprised, but after I thought about it it made sense.  Luna is usually everyone’s favorite!

Sharing

Its moments like this when I can take a huge sigh of relief.  We didn’t upset the apple cart by adopting Luna and furthermore, I think the boys like having her around.  I know I sure do!  Not that I don’t know all that by now.  But it is just little things like these that remind me.

Benjamin, Henry and Luna each have very distinct personalities and it is just fantastic how well they all fit together.

Marathon Chewer

The other night we gave each of the pugs a nice bone with some creamy filling inside.  Everyone worked on their bones for about an hour and then Henry & Luna started to tire out.  Benny on the other hand was just getting started and he easily chewed for another hour.  At that point, it was time for bed.  So I picked up the bones and put them in the toy bin and took everyone out for their final potty of the night.  When we got back, Benjamin snuck off and dug his bone out of the toy box and got in an extra 5 minutes of chewing before I took the bone away from him and put it in the drawer of the nightstand where it was out of his reach.  Reluctantly, Benjamin went to sleep, knowing that he would be able to retrieve his bone in the morning.

First thing in the morning the next day, Benjamin, the happy go lucky morning person that he is, was dancing and jumping around in front of the dresser happy as could be because he knew he was now allowed to have his bone.  So I gave him his bone and he headed outside to chew it on his favorite lounge chair.  He chewed on that bone for hours.  At one point he caught Henry looking at his bone and Benny gave Henry his “Boy, don’t you even think about looking at my bone.  Just mind your business!”

Finally, after hours of chewing, Benny finally fell asleep.  He was so sleepy that he almost slept through lunch.  Good thing he has a little sister that loves to eat just as much as him.

Their Throne

Wherever there is a pile of pillows, that is where you will find Benjamin & Henry.
