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.

This weekend was pretty uneventful. We spent a lot of time working in the yard and the pugs joined us outside for a bit during the evenings when it wasn’t too hot for them. Which meant I spent most of that time fussing at Benjamin not to eat the mulch. He is constantly walking off with a piece of mulch to chew on. It is one of those puppy habits that he never outgrew.
On Saturday night I had the craziest dream. I still can’t really make heads or tails of it. We were at my parents’ house in Maryland and the pugs and Cupid kept escaping out of the yard. I was able to get them back, but there was some issue with the recycling pickup so each of the pugs had to go to school with a kid that I knew in grade school. At the end of the day, I picked up Benjamin & Luna but Henry was missing. Word around school was that his student just left him outside. As I was frantically looking for him, somehow I ended up at a grocery store and as I was checking all the aisles to find Henry the store lost electricity. Things became utterly chaotic and people were loading up their carts and leaving with everything they could grab without paying for anything. I still hadn’t found Henry yet and the next thing I remember is sitting in my car at a toll booth waiting forever for my turn to pay the toll. But when I got to the tollbooth, the lady wouldn’t let me through until I could tell her the names of 3 types of cheeses that I was supposed to have remembered from the grocery store. I tried telling her that I wasn’t paying attention at the grocery store, that I was just looking for my dog. She insisted that I must tell her the name of the cheeses and so I started rattling off every type of cheese I could think of. I could only get two of the three cheeses on her list and so I was stuck at this toll booth forever! That is when I started to stir and it wasn’t long until I realized that Henry was sound asleep between my legs.
This was by far the oddest dream I have ever had in my life. Most of my dreams aren’t quite as all over the place as this one.

Since today is Take Your Dog to Work day the pugs wanted to pose for a picture in the office to show that they work hard for the kibble.
Is anyone taking their dog to work with them today?
Have a great weekend everyone!

I am so very happy that today is Friday. I’m not exactly sure why as I don’t really have any plans for the weekend. Just the usual errands and chores. It is going to be pretty hot, so I think any outdoor activity with the pugs during daylight hours is going to be out of the question. But I am sure we will squeeze in a couple of walks at night. Nothing too exciting, but I am certainly looking forward to some down time. Maybe, I could persuade the pugs to make some room for me on the lounge chair.
What about you? Do you have any cool weekend plans?

I received an e-mail from Brenda at with another update on little Romeo a few weeks ago. So sorry for the delay in getting this posted. My e-mail seems to be getting the best of me lately.
Here is what Romeo’s foster mom has to say about the little guy.
Romeo is doing very well!!! He had his staples out last Wednesday and the incision healed very well. He goes back in about three weeks so they can do the ultrasound as well as a bile test to see if the shunt is closing. His true personality is starting to come out…he is a wild little man!
I am so pleased to hear that Romeo is doing well! I also want to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all the OBP readers that rallied behind Romeo and sent a donation his way. It really means a lot to me.
