We’re Bored!

We spent much of the weekend putting up Christmas decorations.  Needless to say, the pugs weren’t too interested in the decorating process.

Tired Puppies

G-Ma, G-Pa and Aunt Cayce are in town for a visit and while the pugs are more spoiled than ever they has been so much excitement the pugs are super tired!  Whenever there is a quiet moment, I find the pugs somewhere comfy passed out.

Guard Dog

I shot this video the other night when I was taking some photos for Sunday’s Fashion Forward post.  Luna’s not just an adorable face, she is also a tough, little guard dog.

Frustrated

The boys love a Kong with a dab of peanut butter inside.  They will spend hours getting the peanut butter out and Henry will continue to lick and chew the Kong long after the peanut butter is gone.  Luna, on the other hand, doesn’t really get the Kong.  She will run off with her Kong, lick it a few times and then come running back to me all frustrated, with a look that says, “Why did you hide my peanut butter?  I have a bowl you know!  You could have just put the peanut butter in my bowl!”

Leash Management

Whenever I am out alone with all 3 pugs, I always use their 6 foot leashes.  With three energetic pugs, there is no way I can manage 3 retractable leashes.  The only issue with the 6 foot leashes is that Luna has horrible leash management skills.  I thought Henry was forever getting tangled, but my opinion quickly changed when we adopted Luna.

Once the pugs settle into the walk, the leashes normally drag a little bit on the ground and this is where Luna gets herself all tied up.  The boys step over the leash or let it pass all the way under them, but Luna she always ends up getting her paws tied up with the leash.  We are forever stopping so that I can untangle her which really annoys Ben and makes him pull on the leash, which is his way of saying, “keep up slowpokes!”

To solve the issue, I have tried taking the slack out of Luna’s leash and not letting it drag on the ground.  But then she will get tangled up in one of the boy’s leashes.  So in order to make it a block without having to free Luna, I have to keep the slack out of all three of the leashes.  Which pretty much means, I am doing all the work of the retractable leash.

Oh, you should just see us out and about.  It’s good for a laugh.

Outtakes

I have been enjoying taking the pictures for the Fashion Forward posts on Sunday.  It is fun to pull out all of the old outfits from the pugs’ closet.  But I wanted to share a little behind the scenes dirt on what it it like to work with little Luna.  Sure, she looks like a perfect angel in the first two Sunday posts so far, but let me tell you that girl is the wiggliest of all the wiggle worms.  It seems like a part of her is always in motion.  Her tail, her tongue, it could be anything.  The hardest part, though, is that she hasn’t mastered the stay command yet.  She will sit like a pretty angel, but as soon as I kneel down to take a picture of her she is in my lap.  It is quite amusing.

So, the fashion forward posts have been a great opportunity for us to work with Luna on the stay command.  So far, Luna 2, mommy 0.

Luna in the middle

I think she has settled in pretty nicely and she kinda likes having big bros.
