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.

Happy Halloween Everyone! This year the pugs are the 3 Little Pigs for Halloween. Henry piggy, the smart one has bricks added to his pig costume. Luna pig, next in line with brains has sticks added to her costume and poor Benjamin is the piggy that made his house of straw. We look forward to walking around the neighborhood early this evening and then opening the door for trick or treaters! Enjoy your holiday festivities!

Henry’s curiosity is still peaked by the scarecrow. Yesterday, Henry sat patiently and waited for pettings that never came. Well, here is the follow up…This morning Henry jumped up on the scarecrow’s lap. He was inquiring as to the reasoning for the lack of lovin’. Henry doesn’t get it. (And folks, Henry is usually the smart one!) You can almost see Henry asking the scarecrow, “Why won’t you pet me? You got somethin’ against pugs? What’s going on with you?” Henry then decided to just have a seat in the newest lap in town.

Henry is somewhat of a spoiled little boy. We can’t so much as take a potty break from him. Whenever anyone goes to the bathroom, he will assume that if you are going to sit on the potty, then he has your undivided attention and that is time for Henry lovin’. Well, yesterday we built a scarecrow for Halloween. (It isn’t your traditional type scarecrow, it is a Baltimore Oriole baseball fan.) The scarecrow is sitting in a beach chair in front of the house. Well, Henry isn’t convinced that the scarecrow isn’t alive. Henry will go sit at the scarecrow’s feet and patiently wait for the scarecrow to pet him. He got a little board waiting for the petting, so he just laid down instead. Henry’s patient. If he thought the scarecrow would eventually give in, then he would sit and wait all day. I guess he will have to wait until the scarecrow needs to use the restroom.

October is breast cancer awareness month and Benjamin, Henry & Luna thought they would show their support with their new Bark For a Cure t-shirts. Luna loves to prance around in anything pink so she was quite happy with her new shirt. The boys on the other hand, weren’t so happy with their new pink duds. But after I explained things to them, they decided they were manly enough to sport their new pink shirts.
