Caveat

The only problem with taking Henry to get the mail is that he likes to setup camp underneath this tree in the yard on the way back home from the mailbox. He is a classic example of you can tell him to do something, you just can't tell him how to do something.

Livin’ It Up

A chewie stick, a comfy bed and rays for the sun. What else could a pug ask for?

"Well, if you're asking, a piece of pugkin bread would be nice. A new knuckle bone could never hurt. A peanut butter filled kong always hits the spot. Someone to hold this chewie stick would be great too. Oh, and can you use that extra hand to pet me while I chew?"

Woe is Henry

I think he is still upset after loosing that blueberry biscuit in the pool yesterday. It might take awhile, but hopefully he will be able to get over it

Have a good weekend everyone!

Off to the Races

This was a game we frequently played when Benjamin & Henry were puppies. The whole purpose of the game was to trick Benjamin & Henry into practicing their Sit, Stay & Come commands, but to do it in a fun way that allowed them to work off their puppy energy.

First the sit & stay while I move away.

Then the come command.

Looks like Benny was a little bit quicker out of the gates.

Almost up to full speed.

Still truckin'.

About halfway there and Benny has taken the lead.

Benny coming into the home stretch, completely blocking Henry from the frame.

Benny finishing strong. You can see his wrinkly skin flapping in the wind and his eyes are fixed on the prize - the treat.

Super Henry

Henry swam so much this weekend, that I am expecting him to sleep for at least the next few days. It was quite hot this weekend, so we were in and out of the pool on both Saturday and Sunday to cool off after working in the yard, cutting grass, etc. Henry played a marathon game of fetch on Saturday and was back at it again on Sunday.

He was in rare form on Saturday and insisted on diving into the pool each time.

It is really fun to watch Henry jump into the pool, but what is even funnier to watch is Benjamin & Luna. They get very worked up when Henry leaps in from the side. They prefer him to go to the first step and then just shove off from there. They feel that is much safer. When Henry is getting read to jump in from the side, Benjamin & Luna are nervous bundles of energy pacing back and forth all while keeping a close eye on Henry.

Luna even goes as far as trying to bite Henry's ankles on his way in.

And where is Sol during all of this? She is staying cool in the shady lanai, shaking her head, saying "Kids!"

So Easy Even a Pug Can Do It

This is why the Ikea instruction booklets are just pictures.
