Luna needs an intervention! She has become addicted a particular type of compresses rawhide stick.
Each night, sometime between 8pm-9pm, Luna will get restless. She will stand in front of the TV and bark at us on the sofa. This will continue until we give her one of her chewy sticks.
As soon as one of us gets up from the couch, Luna will dart to the kitchen. We'll get the chewy stick out of the pantry, give it to her and she will run back to the run so happy and proud.
On some nights, when her craving is really bad, she will repeat this process in hopes to get 2 chewy sticks!
The girl really knows how to get her way!

From the looks of it, you might think that we run a tight ship around here and insist that the pugs line up in size order - smallest to tallest.
While this doesn't happen frequently, I have caught them in this order before. I wonder if one of them has OCD or something.

We bought a new duvet for the bed and no sooner did we put it on the bed, Luna and Henry were wanting to get up on the bed to check out their new threads. They sniffed around a bit, but then settled in giving it their seal of approval.
Since the pugs sleep on the bed, we have always opted for a duvet over a comforter because it is so much easer to wash. And with 3 pugs sleeping in the bed, let me tell you, that duvet gets a lot of washing!

Poor Benjamin and Luna had a very rough weekend. Both of them have collapsed tracheas so there is generally a chorus of coughing and goose honks echoing throughout the house. However, this weekend was extremely bad.
Benny got so bad on Sunday, that we sent a video to our vet to get his opinion on Benny's condition. (Our vet totally rocks! He was crazy enough to give us his cell phone number and we text him or send pictures and videos to him from time to time to answer some of the many questions we have while caring for a group of senior pugs). After viewing the video, our vet suggested that we give Benny a shot we have on reserve for Benjamin in case he gets too worked up. We had the shot on hand for quite some time now and unfortunately on Sunday, we needed to use it.
Benny took the shot like a champ. I think it was harder on us than it was on him. We tested our strategy (how we would hold him, etc) for administering the shot on Henry since he was nice and calm at the time. Henry was a good sport, but he did look at us a bit like we had lost our mind. If he could talk, I'm sure he would be saying, "You have the wrong pug!"
While were aren't 100% sure what caused Benjamin and Luna to have such a hard time this weekend, we are pretty sure the weather was the culprit. It was disgustingly humid this weekend. With summer looming, I'm hoping this weekend is not a preview of what's to come.

As soon as the lawn mower stops, the pugs pitch a fit to be let outside to inspect the freshly cut grass. Once we finish with all the cleanup we let them out. With all the fuss they raised wanting to be let out, you'd think they would be happy to lay in the freshly cut grass, but most of the time they wander right out of our yard to our neighbors and hang out in their longer grass. Go figure! But, on this occasion, they all took a moment to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

You see that little, tiny, chubby cheek of Luna's? That is where I constantly plant big 'ole kisses. Whenever, I pick her up, I always give her a big smooch. Unlike Henry, Luna doesn't mind getting kisses. A lot of times, she even gives me one right back. I sure do love this sassy little lady.

The big pillow is the place to be in the morning. After the pugs eat their breakfast they settle in for their first morning nap. If you didn't know better you would think this was the only bed in the house!
