Little Girl

There is a lot of shadows in this pictures, but I think it shows the size difference between Henry & Luna pretty well.  Henry is actually scrunched up a bit because his feet are pushing against Benny’s bin.  Luna’s head is a tad higher than Henry’s, but not by much.

Henry & Luna are sleeping in one of their favorite morning spots.  In the sunlight, beaming through the door right were I rest my feet while I am working.

Have a great weekend everyone!

As You Wish

Now that’s a request with which I can easily comply!

Sunday Morning

Luna, much like the cat, loves to read the newspaper.  No wonder I have been catching up on all my current events online.

A girl could get used to this

By now you are probably thinking, “How many pictures of the pugs snuggled in the pillows could she possible post?”  Plenty.  I post a lot as it is and although it may not seem like it I do try to show some restraint.

But I had to post this one because it seems Luna has finally learned to love the pillows as much as her brothers.

The boys are always snuggled into the pillows and when they settle they usually sleep there for quite a while.  Luna, on the other hand, never really slept on the pillows much.  She always found other spots to make herself comfortable.  Until recently that is.  It seems that she has really taken a liking to the pillows and you can pretty much find her there anytime the boys are there.

It is fun to watch how she is slowly becoming just like the boys.

Little Girl

I’m not sure how well the size of Benjamin, Henry & Luna is conveyed through the pictures, but there is quite a size difference between Luna and Henry.  Henry isn’t quite as stocky as most pugs and neither is Luna.  We always joke that Luna has really long legs for her size.  But Luna is not very long at all.  Henry is a little scrunched up in the photo and he still is considerable longer than Luna.

When we first adopted Luna and saw how small she was I was really nervous that the boys would hurt her while they were all playing.  Benjamin & Henry have been together since they were 12 and 13 weeks old so they romp and stomp like brothers.  They can get quite rough.  When Luna got in the mix, I was so nervous that they would hurt her and then I saw her play.  Well, needless to say I have no worries about her.  If anything, she might end up hurting one of the boys.  Her biggest advantage while playing with the boys is that she is faster then them.  So if she ever gets in a jam she takes off running and tires them out making them try to catch her.  She doesn’t hesitate to jump right over either one of them and she uses every ounce of her body weight to her advantage.  It is quite funny to watch my big boys get out played by the little girl.

Guard Dog

With poor vision and a stature that barely lets her see out the front door, Luna isn’t much of an intimidating presence.  Her usual role is to merely support her brothers in barking at whatever they spot outside the door and to show whoever dares to walk in front of the house that if the pugs should so happen to get out from behind this glass door you will be covered in pug kisses three fold.  They have the oddest way of going about saying hello - they bark their heads off.  But, if you were to let them out they would be as nice and charming as a pug can be.

There have been a few times, and I emphasize a few, that Luna was the lone pug to spot something going on out the front door.  And I really wished this happened more often, because it really cracks me up.  Usually, Luna is not one bit aware of what she is barking at out the front door.  She simply barks because that is what her brothers are doing.  But if she happens to spot something that her brothers do not, she tenses up, her ears go into a total alert position and you can just see her straining to see.  She stands totally quiet for a second or two trying so hard to process what is going on and wondering why her brothers are not leading the charge.  Then, in spurts, she let’s out a Dino-esque bark.  When she barks her hind feet leave the ground a bit and after a few barking spurts she is frantically looking for her brothers.  You can just see that she is overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the only one to spot the passerby.  That she is totally not confident in her ability to take on a task this big, but yet the task is way to important to be ignored.  So she sounds the alarm and her brothers can never get there quick enough to suit her.  You can just tell that the whole situation is playing out in slow-motion in her head.

Without fail, one if not both of her brothers charge the door and Luna quickly resumes her supporting barker role.  A role she is much more comfortable starring in.

Learned My Lesson Well

Well, I am happy to report that I have learned my lesson since the cold feet incident.  Yup, I have made sure to always have a blanket handy so that I may wrap little Looney Toon up if she should become a little chilly.  She’s thrilled, can’t you tell?
