Swim Camp 2011 - Luna

Here is little Luna's Swim Camp clip. She is by far the best swimmer out of the 3 pugs, but she is very nervous in the water. No under water clips of her swimming. If you go under water to get video of her swimming she doesn't know where to swim to!

Benjamin and Luna are very happy that their obligatory, yearly dip in the pool is complete. Now they don't have to worry about having to get in the pool until next year. I'm sure that makes Henry happy because that means more pool time for him.

All Mine

Now this is how Luna likes to sleep in her puff pillow. She can't get comfortable like this when her brother is hogging her bed.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! No big plans for us. Maybe some swimming for the pugs. I know I still owe everyone a swimp camp blog week

Henry and Luna

In keeping with yesterday's theme of snuggle pictures from the archives, here is a shot of Henry and Luna from November 2009. Again, "Wow! Look how dark Luna's face is!" My second thought on this one is, "Look how clean the puff pillow is!"

Knowing how much Luna loves her puff pillow, this picture just cracks me up. Luna is clearly sulking and is trying her best to make Henry get out of her puff pillow.

Benny & Luna

I was flipping through my pictures last weekend and came across this shot of Benjamin and Luna from April 2009. My first thought was "Awww", but then I was like, "Wow, look how dark Luna's face is!"

I'm pretty good at remember to take pictures to capture events, but I never seem to go back and look at them. I love to look at old pictures and surprise myself with pictures I forgot I had taken.

Snuggling

Little Luna loves to snuggle. She is also a heat brick. I have no idea how she puts off as much heat as she does, but she sure is great to have around on chilly nights.

Cherry on Top

I always talk about how much of an impact that Sol has had on my life, how she taught me so many things in her subtle ways. But, I think Sol impacted Luna as well.

Solsey had a calming effect on Luna. Since the day we adopted her, Luna was always a very nervous dog. Loving, but still nervous.

After spending time with Sol, Luna significantly calmed down a bit. She seemed to trust us even more. It was like Luna and Sol could relate. They both came into our home in similar circumstances and Sol told Luna it was OK. Relax. You're good now. Solsey conveyed something to Luna that humans could not.

In addition to helping Luna heal, Sol also taught Looney a few tricks. Before Sol, Luna would eat almost anything we put in her bowl. Sometimes begrudgingly, but she ate it nonetheless. Solsey taught Luna that if you don't like what is in your bowl, object. Heck, Solsey demonstrated how to object quite frequently.

And Solsey has taught Luna well. Luna continues to object to her mid day meals to this day. At lunch time, the pugs get a little bit of kibble. Since Luna has a hard time chewing the kibble, we give her a little bit of wet dog food. Well, there are a few flavors that Luna does not care for. When we figured out that Luna did not like those flavors we did not continue to buy them anymore. But, we didn't want what we had on hand to go to waste, so we would put down the food and if Luna objected, we would top the food with a tiny bit of cat food. Luna would then happily gobble down her food.

Well, what a big mistake that was! Now, at lunch, the little miss, sniffs her food bowl and if there is no cat food on top, she walks to the center of the kitchen and stares at you, wagging her little tail. She'll look at you, then look at the cat bowl, then back at you. And until you put a dab of cat food on top of her food she will not eat.

I'm sure Solsey could not be prouder!
