Six

Now that they are six (almost six in Henry’s case.  Today is Henry’s last day as a 5 year old) their late night bone chewing marathons really take a toll on them in the morning.  They sure aren’t teenagers anymore!

First Day of Spring

Well, today is the first day of Spring and I know a pug named Henry that is very happy about that.  Henry thoroughly enjoys Spring.  The weather is a touch on the warm side, yet not too hot for him.  Which means he can spend his days doing one of his favorite things - sleeping way too close to the pool’s edge.  Yesterday, he got a jump on Spring and resumed his normal position poolside.

Plus, in just a short time, it will be swimming season again and then he can break out the Pug Tug and drive his brother crazy by splashing around in the pool.

Happy Spring everyone!

One of Henry’s Favorite Things

Henry loves to roll around in the grass and after he is finished rolling about he loves to lay flat on his side and take a little nap.  I’m thinking we could use him to gauge when we need to cut the grass.

“Oh, the grass is up past Henry’s nose.  Time to go cut it.

Silly Girl

Sometimes, when I look at Luna I just can’t help but laugh.  I mean this is her idea of comfy.

Sometimes I wonder if she does stuff like this just to make me laugh.

On your feet you lose your seat

Benjamin, being the creature of habit that he is, loves to sleep in a little bin that I have in my office.  To make things more comfy for him, I have put a dog pillow in there and even though it is a tight fit it is one of his favorite spots to sleep during the day.

The other day Henry beat Benny to the punch and claimed the bed for his own.  When Benny came in to claim his usual spot he was quite perterbed that Henry was already in it.  He sat at the foot of the bin and whined telling Henry that he would like him to move.  Henry didn’t budge and I told Benny sorry, but Henry was there first.  This did not sit well with Benny and the next thing I know, Benny makes a jump for it and plops himself down right on top of Henry.

Benny was hoping that Henry would become uncomfortable and leave his basket, but no such luck.  Henry stayed and Benny was forced to make himself comfortable around Henry.  No matter how hard he tried, Benny just couldn’t get comfortable.  But, never once did the thought cross his mind to go lay on one of the other two dog beds in my office.  Nope, this is Benny’s sleeping spot and where he sleeps everyday, so he would rather be uncomfortable than have to change his routine.

Bros

One of the things I was worried about when we adopted Luna was how the addition of a third pug would affect Benjamin &Henry’s relationship.  The boys, had been together everyday since they were 12 weeks old and not only were they very tight they were inseparable.

While things did change after we adopted little Luna, I am happy to say that the boys are as close as ever.  Sure, sometimes they have an extra cuddle buddy, but they don’t seem to mind and they still have that unique bond that will forever make them “my boys.”

Jealous

Is it wrong to be jealous of your pug?

Every morning, when the alarm beckons me out of bed, I wrap each one of them up and get them all comfy somewhere else so I can make the bed.  I get ready and then they join me for breakfast where they get a couple bites of bananas and a few cheerios.  After that, I am rushing to the office (granted, I am super-spoiled because I work from home, but it is work nonetheless) and the pugs go back to bed.  I would love to get up, eat breakfast and then go back to sleep.  That would be grand!

I guess the hard part is that they rub it in.  They cuddle up in my office and snore their little hearts out.  Occasionally, one of them will pop up their head and give me a look letting me know that “it would be great if I could keep it down!”  Some days I want to be a pug!
