I was strolling through Walgreens the other day, when I saw this cute dog bed. At first, I was a little taken off guard because I didn’t expect Walgreens to have such a cool dog bed. But after I looked at it for awhile, I just knew that the boys and Luna would love this new bed. It didn’t matter that they needed this bed like I needed a hole in my head. The pugs already have about 5 or 6 nice pillow beds. But, this bed was wasn’t your typical pillow bed, it had sides and I just thought they would like that for a change. And for $10, I just couldn’t resist it. So, of course, I bought the bed.
As soon as I put the bed down on the floor, the pugs didn’t disappoint. Benjamin immediately jumped in and made himself comfortable.
As soon as Benjamin left the bed, Henry jumped right in and tried it out for himself.
The next morning, I noticed that Henry was lounging in the bed again. Ben, however, wanted Henry to make room for him too, so he squeezed in as much as he could.

We have a wall in our “play” room that we call our picture wall. On the wall is an 8x10 of each one of the pets. We try to update the wall with new pictures every few months, but we have fallen pretty far behind lately. So far behind actually, that the last update was pre-Luna so, the little girl didn’t even have her picture up on the wall.
So, this week, we finally got around to updating the wall. The first photo is a good overview, but her is each individual shot.
When we take the pugs out in the yard, we let Cupid come with us. She loves to eat the grass and chase the bugs.
Benny loves to mug for the camera. His is so handsome and he knows it!
Henry is the silliest. There is something about the grass and the sun that just makes him want to roll around.
And last but not least, little Luna. She is such a sweetheart.

Every afternoon, shortly after his lunchtime snack, you will find Benny sitting on his throne. His throne is really the arm of the sofa, but don’t tell him that. He loves to perch himself up there because it is a cozy spot and he has a direct view out the front door. Therefore, he can bark at passersby from the lap of luxury.
Here is what the King can see from his royal spot. Notice Henry laying on the rug by the door. That is Henry’s favorite afternoon spot.

This blurry photo is of little Luna 2 seconds after we feed her. Once we put Luna’s food down she dives right in. And when she dives in, she inevitably spills bits and pieces of her meal all over here placemat. She doesn’t let this slow her down, though. She continues to scarf down what is in her bowl and then she circles around her bowl gobbling up any pieces that were flung onto the floor.
Luna’s messy eating habits drive Benjamin crazy! You may not know this, but, Benjamin is food obsessed. So to have stray pieces of food flying around while he is trying to eat is a huge distraction for Benny. Before Luna came along, Benjamin & Henry had a pact. If the food was in their bowl, the other would not touch it. However, if a scrap were to fall on the floor, it was every pug for himself and may the fastest pug win. So when Luna slings her food all over the floor, Benjamin feels as though that food is now fair game. So, he of course, leaves his bowl, knowing that no one will dare touch it, and tries to eat all of Luna’s scraps. If this was just a piece here or there it would not be a problem. But Luna routinely dumps half of here dinner onto the floor every night. So we have to fuss at Benny for scooping up all of Luna’s kibble or Luna would miss out on half her dinner every night. Whenever we fuss at him, Benjamin gives us a confused look like, “What? Its on the floor! It’s fair game!”
We have also tried to get Luna to slow down and take her time when she eats, but we haven’t had much luck. I guess we are going to have to try bigger dog bowls. Although, the dog bowls are just a formality to her. I think she would prefer it if we just dumped her food on the floor. It is pretty much what she does at every meal.

What do you mean it is time to make the bed?

Christmas day was too much for Benjamin to handle and by the end of the festivities, he was ready to settle down and take a nap. Here he just gotten his infamous puffy, gives the look to all to tell them not to bother him and then he scratches on the sofa to get comfy cozy and take a nice long nap. Bah humbug pug. Benny is a little bit of crank when he doesn’t get his nap. Maybe in the new year he will resolve not to be such a fussbudget if he doesn’t get enough sleep. Happy new year.

Here lies another fallen tug toy. This one lasted all of about 5 minutes. It seems a sturdy tug toy with rope that is not too thick for pug mouths, and lots of limbs for multiple pugs to grab on to is hard to find. The only tug toy that has lasted for more than one game is the all rope kind with two knots at each end. However, all of the pugs like to play tug at the same time so we need something with at least three ends, otherwise there is sure to be conflict.
Part of the reason, tug toys break so easily is because Benjamin is a fierce tug player. When playing tug Benjamin means business and he will drag Henry and Luna around the yard and shake the rope as hard as possible to try and have the other two let go. While Benjamin will play tug with Henry and Luna, he prefers a solo match with a human competitor. He pulls, shakes, growls and does everything in his power to win. And if he doesn’t win he has been known to be a little bit of sore loser. He just can’t stand it when he is not the top dog.
