Morning
What do you mean it is time to make the bed?

For some reason, Henry has a complete aversion for the water bowl. Only if he is really desperate will Henry even consider taking a sip of the nice, fresh water in his water bowl. Instead, he prefers to quench his thirst by drinking from the pool. In the picture, you can see him leaning into the pool to get some water after playing in the yard. Henry would like you to believe that this is the only source of water around, but in reality there is a nice big bowl of water right behind him.
Personally, I don’t think that drinking pool water is a good idea. We do our best to stop him, but he inevitably always sneaks in a couple of sips.
After the pool, Henry’s other favorite watering holes are the gulpy, puddles and sprinklers.

Last weekend, while trimming the tree, we had three restless pugs under our feet. Henry was sitting ever so still watching us put up ornaments so we thought we would have a little fun with him. We wrapped him all up in a festive ribbon. Henry just sat there under amused by our antics. The cat, as you can see in the background, had a little bit more fun with the ribbon. She was racing around the house, hiding behind boxes and pouncing on the ribbon. Henry could sure learn a thing or two about the holiday spirit from his sister, the cat!

I guess the apples really don’t fall far from the tree. Since I work from home, Henry has decided that he, too wants to be a computer programmer and earn some extra income. (Hey, I am all for that! Earn your keep, boy! Good for you!) Here is Henry. Tell me: Is he “working hard?” OR Is he “hardly working?” Maybe for Christmas Santa will bring him a lovely pocket protector.

It is hard to really remember (although it hasn’t even been a year) of what life was like before we adopted little Luna. But before Luna joined our family, the only dogs in our family were the boys, Benjamin & Henry. Heck, sometimes we still just call the 3 of them “the boys.” She doesn’t seem to know the difference. Even if she did, I don’t think she’d care much. She is a tomboy anyway. (I mean she does lift her leg to pee….) In any case, the one thing I do miss (don’t get me wrong…I wouldn’t trade little Luna for a million bucks…but…) the boys do a good job getting their pictures taken and Luna is neither photogenic or patient. Thus, Luna usually makes for the blurry spot in the “family” photo.
So, I decided to take a couple of photos of just the boys for a change. They do a good job when I tell them just to sit there and look cute. They are good boys. It is funny when I look at this photo because so often people stop me and ask how do I tell the boys apart. Well, to us pug lovers, how can’t you? It is quite evident, though, especially when they are right next to each other that Benjamin & Henry look quite different.

During the day, while I am at home working, the pugs are generally pretty mellow. They spend most of their time sunning themselves and catching up on their sleep. Most of the action doesn’t really happen until I get off work, so they make sure they get all the rest they need during the day so they will have plenty of energy for their walk in the evening.
They have a lot of favorite sleeping spots around the house, but one of their favorites is definitely the sofa. The most coveted spot is the arm of the sofa. From this position, they can see right out the front door. They love this spot because it allows the pug to catch a cat nap and still be able to spot any passersby. Because barking at those who walk by the house is definitely one of their favorite pastimes.

Henry is the resident ear cleaner at our house. Rarely does a day go by that Henry does not inspect both Benjamin & Luna’s ears and if he finds anything he starts licking away. He is rather diligent and his hard work really pays off. It is rare that we ever need to clean Benjamin or Luna’s ears.
The only problem with Henry’s ear cleaning is he never flips Benjamin’s ear back into place. So after a good ear cleaning Benjamin is left looking like this.
