Luna in the middle

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

Ruff

This is how I feel / what I wished I was doing this morning.  It is a short week, but so far Tuesday and Wednesday have really packed a wallop!

In any case, Luna is doing pretty good.  We had a low key night and she just snuggled on the couch getting some much needed rest.  I am hoping to have a post about Luna’s teeth cleaning for tomorrow.  Nothing catastrophic,  just some details on the current state of her pearly whites.

Hope your short week back is going well!

Rental Cars

The pugs have an odd fascination with rental cars.  I’m not really sure how all this came about, as it’s not like we have a rental very often, but for some odd reason, the pugs insist on going for a ride in any rental that we have.  Now that I think about it, the pugs insist on going for a ride in any car that is at our house.  When my parents came to visit they insisted on going for a ride in my Dad’s big truck.  It is Henry that always leads the charge, but Luna and Benjamin would never miss a trip.

Don’t worry we didn’t let him ride in the back.  But while in the driveway he loved to sit back there.  He thought he was King.

So yesterday, when the rental car returned to our driveway after what the pugs thought was a miraculous 4 day disappearance that left just one human to pet them, the pugs expected to go for a car ride.  Apparently, we weren’t going fast enough because the next thing I know Henry jumps into the trunk.  I would not have expected anything like that from Henry, he isn’t a jumper at all.  As soon as Benjamin sees Henry in the trunk, he hops right in and sits on the suitcase because he knows he has a present in there (A new knucklebone in this case.  G-Ma has taught him his friend the suitcase always comes back to the house with a treat in it.)  With the boys in the trunk, all happy with themselves, Luna wants in too.  So we help Luna get into the trunk and the three of them are like pigs in mud.

So we unpack the suitcases and pugs from the trunk and then we go on the obligatory different car at my house ride on which we let the pugs ride in the backseat and from Henry’s point of view all is then right with the world.

Have a great weekend everyone!

3 Tired Pugs

We made the trek to Ikea this weekend in search for a new entertainment center.  We found something we liked so needless to say we had a lot of assembly to do.  We worked into the wee hours of the morning and all our hard work really tired out the pugs.  We did keep them up way past their bedtime, but at least we were considerate enough to make a comfy spot for them to nap.

Pug Camouflage

Can you spot Luna?

Her scars actually help her blend in pretty well.

The boys don’t blend in quite as well as the little girl.  But Luna isn’t surprised.  Just another thing that she is the best at!

Hot

This weekend was HOT!  As soon as we would walk outside I would break a sweat and the pugs would start to pant.  We swam in the pool a bit on Sunday, but going in and out of the pool wasn’t even enough to keep the pugs cool.  So, the pugs happily spent most of their weekend indoors lounging about and chewing on some bones.  It was most definitely a lazy summer weekend.

How about you?  How was your weekend?

Best Seats in the House

Being the good Americans that we are, we have setup the furniture in the living room so every seat has a good view of the TV.  The pugs, however, have a different set of requirements for room arrangement.  They would prefer if every seat had a good view out the front door.

The coveted spot is the arm of the sofa closest to the front door.  From there you have a clear view out the front door and the coziness of the throw pillows.

The next best spot is the back of the sofa.  This spot is only used by Benny and he loves that!  Henry is no where near agile enough to perch himself on the back of the sofa considering the sofa does not back to a wall.

Coming in third is the far clamshell chair in the living room.  It is the farthest option, but it does offer a clear view.

Since Luna doesn’t see too well, she rarely uses any of these options.  She prefers a center stage, front row seat on the rug by the door.  It always makes me sad because she loves to look out the door and I know she doesn’t see so well.  I wish the boys wouldn’t bark at everyone that walked down the street, but I love it when Luna spots someone out the door and barks.  It lets me know that she can see and that makes me feel good.
