Benjamin, Henry and Luna were out enjoying the afternoon sun the other day and when I looked up from my computer I saw all three snuggled up on the lounge chair. Luckily, my camera was nearby and I was able to snap the shot from my desk.
It might just be me, but they seem to be saying, “Are you off work yet?” I wish pugs, I wish.

It is plain to see that Luna has none. I thought I raised her better.

One year ago today we adopted Luna from Compassionate Pug Rescue. Since we don’t know when Luna’s actual birthday is, we decided that we would celebrate her adoption day as her birthday.
To celebrate we ordered her a little cake that was topped with yogurt frosting. We didn’t invite any of Luna’s neighborhood pals over for the celebration. The good news about having two pug brothers is there is always a party. As soon as we brought the cake out of the box, everyone was on the scent and totally intrigued. They never had a treat that looked like this before. They quickly hopped up into the birthday seat and they all gazed at the cake. The anticipation was getting the best of Henry.
Before we let anyone indulge in the cake we tortured them with pictures. What is a birthday without a picture of the birthday girl in her birthday girl t-shirt?
At first, we were going to cut up the cake and give each pug a little square. But then we thought we would go a little bit crazy and just turn the pugs loose on the cake. Of course we wouldn’t let them eat the whole thing, but we thought it would be fun to watch them dive in and get their share. Since Luna was the birthday girl, we gave here first crack at it. She was a little lady and started working on the frosting first.
Then we released the boys and that is when Baby Benny went to town. All three had a lot of fun diving in getting their share. Needless to say, there was cake and icing everywhere, but Luna, Benny & Henry all had fun and we laughed so hard watching them eat it.
After we felt they had their serving we took the extra away. Poor Benny looked so sad. He really thought we were going to let him eat the whole thing. Oh, Benny, you’re such a silly boy!

We have a wall in our “play” room that we call our picture wall. On the wall is an 8x10 of each one of the pets. We try to update the wall with new pictures every few months, but we have fallen pretty far behind lately. So far behind actually, that the last update was pre-Luna so, the little girl didn’t even have her picture up on the wall.
So, this week, we finally got around to updating the wall. The first photo is a good overview, but her is each individual shot.
When we take the pugs out in the yard, we let Cupid come with us. She loves to eat the grass and chase the bugs.
Benny loves to mug for the camera. His is so handsome and he knows it!
Henry is the silliest. There is something about the grass and the sun that just makes him want to roll around.
And last but not least, little Luna. She is such a sweetheart.

This blurry photo is of little Luna 2 seconds after we feed her. Once we put Luna’s food down she dives right in. And when she dives in, she inevitably spills bits and pieces of her meal all over here placemat. She doesn’t let this slow her down, though. She continues to scarf down what is in her bowl and then she circles around her bowl gobbling up any pieces that were flung onto the floor.
Luna’s messy eating habits drive Benjamin crazy! You may not know this, but, Benjamin is food obsessed. So to have stray pieces of food flying around while he is trying to eat is a huge distraction for Benny. Before Luna came along, Benjamin & Henry had a pact. If the food was in their bowl, the other would not touch it. However, if a scrap were to fall on the floor, it was every pug for himself and may the fastest pug win. So when Luna slings her food all over the floor, Benjamin feels as though that food is now fair game. So, he of course, leaves his bowl, knowing that no one will dare touch it, and tries to eat all of Luna’s scraps. If this was just a piece here or there it would not be a problem. But Luna routinely dumps half of here dinner onto the floor every night. So we have to fuss at Benny for scooping up all of Luna’s kibble or Luna would miss out on half her dinner every night. Whenever we fuss at him, Benjamin gives us a confused look like, “What? Its on the floor! It’s fair game!”
We have also tried to get Luna to slow down and take her time when she eats, but we haven’t had much luck. I guess we are going to have to try bigger dog bowls. Although, the dog bowls are just a formality to her. I think she would prefer it if we just dumped her food on the floor. It is pretty much what she does at every meal.

Luna still gets a tad excited when chow time rolls around. As soon as her bowl hits the floor, she dives right in and every night, after her bowl has been licked clean, she comes running up to you, wagging her tail, with a face like this. Who could resist?
