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.

One of the biggest chores in the morning is making the bed. Not because making the bed is such a hard task, but because how do you make the bed with 3 pugs in it? All of them look so cute snuggled under the covers and on the pillows that I don’t want to move them! However, seeing them all cuddled up together in the morning is a great way to start the day!

One of Henry’s absolute favorite things to do is to sun himself in the yard. He really enjoys being outside, eating grass and lounging around. So when we saw this “King of the Yard” tag we just had to get it. Not only does it describe Henry’s favorite activity, but it is also purple so it matches his harness as well.
If you look closely you can see it on his harness in the picture above. And so you can have a better view, here is a close-up shot.

The other day, I found a snake on our screened-in lanai. Now granted, it was a baby snake, so it was not very big, but it was enough to really startle this city girl. The worst part about it was that I wasn’t able to get the snake out of the lanai. Cupid, the cat, was the first to spot the snake. So she proceeded to poke and torment it. I was so worried about getting the cat away from the snake that by the time I had the cat safe inside the snake was no where to be found. Needless to say, I looked high and low for that thing, but I could not find it. For my sanity, I am presuming that the snake let itself back out the same way that it came in, but you can never be too sure.
So yesterday, I pass by the sliding glass doors that have sheer curtains on them and I see a snake like shadow. My skin starts to crawl and I just know my snake friend is back for a visit. Determined to catch the little guy this time, I slide the curtains back and what do you know, one of my good little pugs has gotten their rope toy out of the toy box and has forgotten to put it away. Needless to say, I was very relieved, but I still wonder which one of the pugs was playing tricks on me.
