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.

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.”

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!

This is how Henry acts on cloudy days. It’s a good thing we don’t live somewhere where they have real winters!

Yesterday marked one week since Henry visited the ophthalmologist. We have been sticking to his medicine schedule and his bump looks a lot better, but it is not completely gone. We have one more week before he goes back for a follow-up and I hope by then that the bump is gone!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Sorry for the lack of a picture to accompany this entry. It has been one of those mornings already. But, here are some old pictures of Benjamin, Henry & Luna for you on Flickr. I am going to try to be more diligent in adding photos to Flickr.

You would never know that we have a doggie door. Santa brought one and while Ben, Henry & Cupid have all learned to use the door they all have their quirks. Henry’s quirk is that he will not walk through the door with anything in his mouth. His favorite thing to do is to take a bone out by the pool and chew it while sunning himself. So needless to say, whenever he has a bone to take outside he comes and sits by the door and patiently waits for me to open it for him.
I’m not exactly sure what he thinks. I think he thinks he is too wide to go through the doggie door when he has something in his mouth. Before we got the doggie door he was like that with the regular doors. If he has something his mouth you have to open the door real wide for him to come in. You would think we gave him bones that were 5 feet long!
Luna on the other hand won’t use the doggie door without some assistance. She is scared to push the flap open. Which makes no sense at all. She will run full steam into the sliding glass door, but she it too timid to walk through a space that she knows is for sure open. Go figure. We are working with her on it though.

We returned home the from eye doctor yesterday with a pretty good prognosis.
Little Luna’s eyes seemed to be about the same. No worse, no better. Which is good because up until this point they seemed to be getting worse. There were some minor adjustments in her meds, but that was to be expected. And the best news is that she doesn’t have to return for a checkup for 4-6 months!
It was Henry with his bump that I was really concerned about. He was diagnosed with an Episclaral Mass which is just fancy talk meaning that he has a bump on his eye. It could be a tumor of some type or it could be the result of something poking him in the eye. With our eye experience from Luna, we gave Henry a little of her ointment before we made it in for the eye appointment and it seemed to help ease a little bit of the irritation in his eye. We confessed this to the eye doctor and she said that we did the right thing and she actually prescribed the same ointment for him. So, he will be on that for two weeks and then he goes back for a checkup. Hopefully, by then, things should be cleared up. Otherwise, the bump is a tumor. Right now, both the eye doctor and myself are leaning towards the bump being a result of an injury. We will know more in about two weeks, though. Hopefully, we both will be right.
We stocked up on all of Luna’s meds, got the ointment for Henry’s eye, forked over $380 and left for the long car ride home.
