Too Much Vacation

Benjamin, Henry and Luna had a great time on their trip, but once we were back home they were exhausted! This was the sight when we took them to go potty. Instead of doing their business, they all just sat down for a little rest in the warm FL sunshine. I felt the same way and if the neighbors wouldn't have thought it weird, I would have laid right down with them.

My How They’ve Grown

No trip to MD would be complete without seeing G-Ma and G-Pa. This was the first time that Luna went to see G-Ma and G-Pa. Usually they come to visit her, so imagine her surprise when we got out of the car and there was G-Ma and G-Pa.

The boys were super happy to be back and wasted no time getting outside and hanging out by their favorite tree. The tree has stayed the same, but two little puggies have sure grown up. (Not to mention, my camera is much better now too!)

Lake Needwood

No trip back to MD with the boys would be complete without a stop at Lake Needwood. We took the boys to the lake all the time when we lived in MD and couldn't wait to bring them back for another visit after an 8 year hiatus.

The boys didn't remember the park from their puppy days, but they were still happy to be at such a gorgeous spot.

They spent a lot of time walking off trail in the grass. Luna was fascinated by the grass in MD. It is so much thinner and softer than the grass we have in FL. Luna was also curious why all the tree in MD were shedding so bad. There were leaved everywhere. In FL, Luna is used to the trees keeping their leaves.

Road Trip

Thanksgiving is a big travel holiday, but we decided to take a little trip to Maryland just before the holiday season officially kicked off. We had an important event to attend and thought it would be cool if Benjamin and Henry had a chance to visit where they grew up and it would be awesome to see what Luna thinks of Maryland. So since the pugs were coming with us, the only way were were going to get there was by car.

The boys have made the trip from Maryland to Florida on 4 different occasions, so they are old pros. However, we were a little concerned because they haven't made the trip in a little over 8 years. Luna does great in the car so we weren't worried about the long drive. We were more concerned with how she would handle the weather. Luna thinks that Central Florida is Antarctica and Maryland would be as far North as she has ever traveled.

But the pugs did not disappoint, they did fantastic on the long drive. They slept in the car and did great during pit stops. Their favorite stops were the ones when they ate. We would pop the trunk, get their bowls from the cooler and set them up next to the car. They would chow like they were at home in the kitchen.

Best Part of the Day

Every day when I come home from work the pugs greet me in the garage. After their greeting and the obligatory lunch bunch inspection, we just hang in the yard. Given the weather right now, it is usually under a shade tree, but it is an extremely peaceful time of day and a great time to catch up with the pugs.

Stormy

Last Saturday was a super hot day. The pugs went out a few times in the middle of the day, but they didn't last long in the blazing sun. Warm days like that typically bring a good evening storm. And on Saturday night, the pugs got to enjoy time outside as the storm was blowing in. The clouds shielded the sun and there was a nice, cool breeze.

Its not even officially summer and the pugs are already taking advantage of any respite they can get from the FL heat.

Swim Season

Things are hot enough here in FL that we have been jumping in the pool to cool down the last few weeks. We got new rafts this season as our old rafts had about as much sun and pug fun as they could handle. The pugs designated Henry to be the official raft tester and I think he is giving a thumbs up for this one. He looks as if he is about to fall asleep, so I would say this one is pretty comfy.
