The Boys of Summer

The boys of summer like to hang out in the shade! It has even been too hot for Henry and Henry absolutely loves the sun.

I feel bad for the pugs because our walks have been so short. One quick jaunt early in the morning and then one short walk in the evening. And sometimes our evening walks get rained out. But, I don't think the pugs mind too much because as soon as they step paw outside the door their urge to walk quickly fades.

Dummies

Grammy saw this book at a book store that was closing and got us a copy as a gift.

I love to read books about pugs. Especially books that tell you about the breed and what you should expect as a pug owner. I like to compare the book's advice to my own experiences as being a pug owner.

I came across the tidbit below in the book and it really made me laugh. It is one of those things that is so funny because there is a lot of truth in it.

"Never walk a pug farther than you are willing to carry her. Sometimes she may just sit down on an outing and refuse to go anywhere."

Have a great weekend!

Swim Camp 2011 - Henry

We held a mini swim camp last week and here is a short clip of Henry in action.

Henry really is the only pug that enjoys swim camp. Luna barely tolerates it and Benjamin absolutely hates it. Its a shame because it is such good exercise for the pugs when it it too hot for them to walk.

Done

This is a picture of Henry with one of the new bones the pugs got the other night as a treat. Henry had been chewing the bone for a good hour at least and in this picture he is done chewing and ready for a little nap. However, he doesn't want Benjamin or Luna to get his bone, so he just sits with it in his mouth. He must have sat there for 15 minutes or more before his eyelids finally got too heavy. The joys of siblings.

Henry and Luna

In keeping with yesterday's theme of snuggle pictures from the archives, here is a shot of Henry and Luna from November 2009. Again, "Wow! Look how dark Luna's face is!" My second thought on this one is, "Look how clean the puff pillow is!"

Knowing how much Luna loves her puff pillow, this picture just cracks me up. Luna is clearly sulking and is trying her best to make Henry get out of her puff pillow.

Shade

As hot as it has been recently, the shade is a nice place to be. Even Henry, a true sun lover, has been hanging out in the shade lately.

Henry’s Big Adventure

We needed to make a run to the pet store last week to pick up some food for Cupid. Henry was a little fired up that night so I thought I would bring him. He had a blast in the car on the way there and he was loving life going up and down the aisles at the pet store. Ironically, he was most interested in the fish stuff.

After I pried him away from the fish display, we rounded up some cat food for Cupid and then made a stop in the dog bone aisle so Henry could pick out some bones for himself and his brother and sister. After some debate, Henry selected bacon and roast beef flavored edibles. I thought it was an interesting choice because the boys have not had those types of bones since they were pups.

Once we got back home, I gave the pugs the bones that Henry selected. Henry was of course happy with his choice and Benjamin was also pleased with Henry's selection. Luna, however, was not so happy with Henry's choice. In fact, she passed it right up and took a nap on the couch instead. So, this meant that Henry had a second bone for himself. Coincidence or good thinking on Henry's part?

On a different note, if you are in the FL area and you are interested in fostering pugs get in touch with Central Florida Pug Rescue. They have a lot of pugs in their care right now and are very much in need of foster homes.
