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!”
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.
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.
This morning, the little girl went in to get her teeth cleaned. I absolutely hate having them have any type of procedure that requires them to be sedated, but as the doctor let us know it is really in her best interest to keep her teeth as clean and healthy as possible. So we dropped her off this morning without her breakfast. She was most upset about not getting her breakfast. And, as far as she knows, Benjamin, Henry & Cupid are starving right along with her today. We waited to feed them until after Luna left.
So, I am off to worry and work. I can’t wait until this afternoon when I can pick that little rugrat up.
Update: Luna is out of surgery. She is slowly waking up. We can pick her up late this afternoon.
Luna is a hoot when she catches a smell of something that she would like to claim as her own. She almost always paws at the spot and then flips herself on her back so she can rub her neck all over it. She’ll do this on the grass, the sidewalk and as you will see in the video the rocks in the garden. She especially loves to roll all over dried worms on the sidewalk. I’m not exactly sure what that is all about.
I have been trying to get a video of Luna rolling all around for some time now. This clip is short, she usually spends a lot more time wiggling around, but it gives you an idea of how she just flips herself to the ground.
I ordered a little dress for Luna from Pug Possessed’s Etsy shop. It came in the mail earlier this week and as soon as I got back from the mailbox, I told Luna that there was a special delivery just for her. Of course, the boys were interested too!
Luna was a bit confused at first and thought her gift was a pillow. But after we got it opened she was a bit more excited. Pug Possessed’s Shop has a lot of different dress choices but as soon as I saw this little striped number I knew it was perfect for my sassy little girl! It fits perfectly too because it was created for her exact measurements. After I ordered it, Debbie whipped up a new dress using the same fabric using Luna’s measurements. How nice was that?
