The Dog Days of Summer

Benjamin & Henry took some time today to enjoy the sun on their favorite lounge chair.  Sunning themselves is one of their favorite things to do and they make time for it every morning.  Henry almost always lays down as soon as he gets on the chair, but Benjamin likes to look around for a little bit.  But, as you can see from his big yawn, it’s usually not long until he settles down for a little nap.

Restless Pug

Benjamin has always liked to scratch before he settles down for a nap so we keep a towel on his pillow.  This way he can flip the towel around and get is just right before he finally plops himself down.  The other day he was paticularly restless and having a hard time getting his towel arranged just right.  When he finally settled down he was wearing the towel instead of sleeping on it.

Feeling Blue

Today the boys and I are anxious and nervous.  The boys’ sister, Cupid the cat, is having surgery to remove a stone found in her bladder.

The stone was discovered yesterday after we took her to the vet because we noticed blood in her urine.  After doing an ultrasound the Dr. found a 7mm, free floating stone in her bladder.

Once the stone is removed, Cupid should be feeling much better.  In the meantime, we are sending her positive energy to help her get through the day.

Happy 4th of July

Our long holiday weekend got off with a bang, when we headed to the beach early this morning.  We weren’t planning to get up at 6:30am this morning, but everyone was a little restless so we decided to head to the beach and beat the crowd.  There were a few other people there, mainly fishing, but the boys enjoyed their early morning swim and then relaxed on the beach a bit.  To show his patriotism, Benjamin proudly display his stars and stripe dog tag while watching the boats.

All in a day’s work

I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home which means that I have two of the best assistants around.  As you can see from the picture that I snapped from my desk while I was hard at work, Benjamin & Henry take their work very seriously.  They make sure they are at the office everyday and they work excellent together.  They are not easily distracted and they stay on task very well.  I imagine that this place would just fall a part without them.

Silly Pug

Earlier this week, we got a new digital camera so I have been taking a lot of pictures to get the feel for the new camera and to learn about all of its different modes.  While I was taking pictures, Benjamin was acting silly playing with his nerf-like frisbee, so I decided to test his posture.  Turns out the little guy has perfect form.

Benny’s Ruff Day

Yesterday, was a ruff day for Baby Benny.  Not only was it raining when he had to go out for his morning business, but he also fell in the pool!

Yesterday afternoon, after the rain had passed, Benjamin & Henry were running around outside near the pool.  I was working at the time but I was watching them for a bit from my office door (that leads to the pool area).  The boys were acting like their normal crazy selves circling the pool and running around the patio furniture so I decided I better get back to work.  I started to hook up a new computer when I heard a big splash.  I ran out of my office door and saw Benjamin swimming as hard and as fast as he could trying to pull himself out of the pool.  I reached down and scooped him out of the pool and he was soaking for head to toe.  When he fell in, he must have went all the way under because his head was soaked.  I toweled him off and as soon as I was finished he took off running trying to air dry himself.

There is only one question that remains.  Was this an accident or did Henry have something to do with his brother falling in the pool?
