Both Luna and Benjamin love to snuggle with Henry. I think it is because Henry is not a wiggle worm. Once he gets comfortable he will usually stay put. Then Benjamin & Luna come join him.
I always love it when Benjamin, Henry & Luna smoosh together even though they have plenty of room to spread out. They act like this is the only sunny spot in the house.
With it being so hot lately, they have been doing a lot of laying around. We have been going for walks in the evenings which have been great. Last night we got about 3/4’s of a mile away from home and the sky behind us began to look a bit ominous so we turned around and contemplated on taking a shortcut back home. After some debate, we took the shortcut and made it home 7 minutes before it poured down rain. It was a fun little race against Mother Nature.
I got a very cool camera for my birthday that can take pictures underwater and I finally got a chance to put it to use on Friday night. I got some underwater video of Henry fetching his favorite toys from the pool.
Mr. I like to sleep and walk right on the pool’s edge went a little too far this weekend. Luna was sitting about a foot away from the pool’s edge minding her own business, when Henry came over and was trying to get her to play and clean her ears and things like that. Of course, he stood between Luna and the pool and with all his wiggling around he lost his footing and went straight into the pool. In the deep end and all the way under. He popped up and was quickly plucked out of the pool. He gave himself a good shake and gave me a look that said, “I don’t want to hear a word!”
He likes the pool, so this wasn’t a huge deal to him. Just really bruised his ego because for a while he thought he was invincible walking so close to the pool’s edge.
But knowing Henry, and knowing that the boy has horrible balance, I knew it was just a matter of time until he would take an impromptu dip. So did he learn his lesson? Of course not! Five minutes later he was sleeping right on the edge of the pool.
Henry is not in the business of giving or getting kisses. The closest you can get to getting a kiss from him is licks on your eyelids at bedtime. Other than that, you get nothing. And to top it all off, he despises getting kisses, which is a real shame because he has the most kissable cheeks.
But, despite the fact that he hates kisses, he gets plenty from me. I am forever sneaking in and giving him a big kiss on his cheek. He has learned to tolerate it, but if I try to sneak in two or three at a time, he glares at me. Strangers have tried to give him kisses and he turns into such a wiggle worm and storms off at the first opportunity he gets.
Benny & Luna, on the other hand, well they are a whole different story! Is your pug a kisser?
It is usually Luna that ends up wearing most of her dinner, but the other night Henry saved a little yogurt for desert. Unlike Luna, who is completely oblivious to the fact that she ends up wearing most of her dinner, Henry was aware that the yogurt was on his nose and he kept trying to lick it off. The only problem was that his tongue wasn’t quite long enough. I wiped it off for him, but not before I had a few minutes of fun with him.
