Bark at the Park

Henry

Last Friday night, Henry got to go to a Daytona Cubs game. The cubbies are a minor league team and host a Bark at the Park night a few times each season. Benjamin and Luna have been to a game as well, but they didn't have as much fun as Henry. There is a lot of action going on at the games and neither of them were too fond of the bleachers or the steep steps leading up to their seats. So, when Bark at the Park night came around this year, we thought we would make it a special Henry only adventure.

I think Henry remembered his previous trips to the ballpark because as soon as we arrived at the stadium, he made a beeline for the concession stand. He was even lucky enough to see a concession worker that remembered him from a previous year! Needless to say, he scored more than a few tasty treats.

Henry also got to meet Cubby, the Daytona Cubs mascot. A lot of the dogs don't really know what to make of Cubby and tend to bark at him, but Henry played it cool. He was sort of like, "Hey, what's up?". Then when he realized that Cubby's big paws were functional petting hands, him and Cubby were fast friends.

On Guard

Luna, Henry and Benjamin

Little Luna leading the charge. Their mission: get everyone that passes by to stop and pet them.

In My Defense

Benjamin

I broke down and bought a new dog bed over the weekend, BUT this is a replacement dog bed, not a new addition. One of Benjamin and Henry's most used dog beds got so tattered and torn that I had to throw it away. So, of course I had to get a new one to replace it! Otherwise, where would they sleep? wink

The new dog bed has rigid sides and I'm not sure if Benjamin and Henry dig that. They are still testing things out for now. Luna, is super happy that her puff pillow is still in good shape. Don't mess with her divot and she is a happy girl.

Waiting

Henry and Benjamin

The boys, fresh from their morning walk, wait on the sofa for something to bark at. The only problem is there aren't many people passing by at 6:30am. I like to tell them that no one walks by because their vicious barking scared them away. They seem pleased with that. But, really, who wants to be up at that hour?

Compromise

Benjamin and Henry

Benny was a little jealous that Luna got so many kudos for compromising and spending time with Henry in the sun and Benny in the shade that he thought he would work on his own compromise. So, his butt in in the sun! What do you think? You think that is enough of a compromise?

Happy Birthday, Henry!

Henry

Today is Henry's 11th birthday!

Henry is our calm and thoughtful pug. He is definitely a thinker and sometimes you can see the little wheels spinning in his head. He is also the most trusting of the group, sometimes a little too trusting. When he was a puppy, he rode in the back of our SUV in a crate so that him and Benny would not be wreaking havoc in the car while we were trying to drive. As soon as I would open the hatch and his crate, he would jump right into my arms. He trusted that I would catch him no matter what.

Ironically enough, as calm as Henry is, he has a bite sticker on his chart at the vet. That is because Henry has one rule: Don't attempt to clip my back toenails! When we try to trim his nails he gives us such a hard time. So we thought the vet techs might have a little bit better luck at getting his nails trimmed. They took him to the back to trim his nails and when everyone came back, Henry has this super proud look and a nice little bite sticker on his chart. Turns out he is better behaved for us than the techs at the vet.

While Henry loves to swim, lay out in the sun, take walks and eat treats, there is nothing he loves more than to be pet. He can be relentless in his pursuit of petting. If he is in a room full of people it is funny to watch how he works the room and gets everyone in it to pet him.

Happy Birthday, Hank!

Sunshine

Luna and Henry

Has Luna joined Henry as a lover of the sun? Nope! It seems Luna likes to play the party lines and spends some time with Henry in the sun and then she joins Benny in the shade. At least she gives it a shot. Benny never parts ways with the shade.

It is funny how much Henry loves the sun. We pretty much know that if we take him on a walk or out to potty at high noon he will collapse in the grass. He reminds me of one of those collapsing push puppet dolls. The suns rays beaming down on him push his button and he just falls out. And there is no getting him to move. The only way you will get him back in the house is to pick him up and carry him. Or lure him with a treat. That will work because food trumps everything. Even the sun.
