We were looking through the photo albums this weekend and we came across some adorable pics of the boys when they were puppies. Here are some of my favorites.
This is a shot of the boys anxiously looking to see where everyone went. We were visiting family when this shot was taken. The boys are about a year old here and to me what is the funniest thing is that Benjamin is almost as tall as Henry. Now that they are fully grown, Henry towers over Ben.
This shot was taken in Ocean City, MD. We decided to take the boys to the beach for a day trip. While walking on the boardwalk, we passed by a sign for Red Dog and of course could not resist making the boys pose next to a sign marked dog. To complete his beach look, Benjamin is wearing an infant muscle tee.
Here is a shot of the boys sleeping in their toy basket at about 12 weeks old. Before we brought the boys home, we went out and bought them a nice, lined wicker toy basket and filled it with toys. We were young and naive because the boys had the toy box completely chewed in about one morning. I guess we weren’t really thinking like a puppy when we bought the basket!
This is Baby Benny at about 12 weeks old. When he was truly Baby Benny.

While this summer has not been that hot by Florida standards, it is still quite toasty. So, we take our walks early in the morning and later at nights. This is Henry after a longer walk in the evening. As we’ve blogged earlier, he is definitely the brains of the pug trio. To cool down he will lay on the tile floor in the kitchen. Benny will lay on the rug or pillow or even on one of the throw rugs in the kitchen but never on the cool tile. Because of his “cool tile strategy,” Henry is usually the one that stops panting first. Henry is not only “King of the Yard” but his is also “King of the Smarts.”

Benjamin is the carb-cruncher and Luna is the feisty one, but do you know that Henry is really too smart for his own good? Henry knows when we are in a rush and need him to go poopy quickly. He’ll use this opportunity to hold out for a bribe of an apple softy treat. As soon as we present the treat, he’ll present what we’ve been waiting for. What a smarty pants.
We like it better, though, when he out smarts his siblings. For example, when Benjamin and/or Luna are chewing a bone that Henry wants, Henry will create a false diversion to cause Benjamin and/or Luna to go see what the problem is, thus leaving their bones and giving Henry the choice of either chewy. Usually Henry will bark at a fictitious person walking down the street to get the other two to come look out the front door and then Henry will scamper to the bones and snag one.
Or Henry will pretend to have found something very special in the toy box to get the other ones interested and when they fall for that trick, Henry has taken the real item that he wanted and the other one is left with what equates to an infomercial bust. They had been sold, but then it wasn’t that cool after all. That Henry, he is a slick one.
Benjamin is on to his games, though. Stay tuned about how Benjamin has learned a little retaliation tactic.

Benjamin and Luna just love to cuddle with Henry. Henry rarely naps alone because either Benjamin or Luna or both of them is snuggled up next to him. Before we adopted Luna I just assumed that Benjamin always cuddled up with Henry because he was the only other pug. But it has been interesting to see how Luna has bonded with him and how she seeks him out if there is no human lap available.
I think both Benjamin and Luna like to snuggle up to Henry because he is the largest of the three. Also, he lays very still. He doesn’t fidget and when he makes himself comfortable he is usually in that position for quite some time. Also, it doesn’t bother him to have others laying on him. You could pile anything on him and as long as he is comfortable he isn’t going to budge.
Way back, before adopting a third was even a thought, I snapped this picture of Benjamin and Henry napping. As you can see, Benjamin is laying completely on top of Henry and Henry isn’t the least bit concerned.

In his latest attempt to become more human, Henry has begun using the arm rests on the lounge chair. The next time I go outside I expect to find him fully reclined on the chair, laying on his back just like a human sunbather. The boy sure knows how to make himself comfortable.

Here we have Benjamin and Luna sunning themselves poolside on one of our very relaxing loungers. I bought the lounger about a year ago with grand visions of relaxing Saturdays spent poolside on this comfy chair. Yeah, right! I don’t know what I was thinking. Even though I don’t get to use it very often it is good to know that Benjamin, Henry and Luna put it to good use. Rarely does a day go by that at least one of them doesn’t spend some time chilling on the lounge chair.

After swimming and playing fetch in the pool, Henry loves to go in the yard and roll in the grass. This time, he took a slice of his watermelon Rip’Em, his favorite toy, in the yard with him. He was having a good time flinging his toy around the yard and rolling in the grass. All while soaking up the sun. This was an ideal day for Hank.
