Cupid, being the thoughtful and generous cat that she is, likes to give me gifts. It is very sweet of her, but she has got to be one of the worst gift givers ever!
Last Friday, the cat was out enjoying the afternoon in the screened in area around our pool. She meowed at my office door to come in, like she does a thousand times a day, so I got up and let her in. She eagerly steps over the threshold, meows to get my attention and when I look down at her, she drops a gecko at my feet. I look at the gecko, then at the cat, who is so very happy with herself, and then the gecko makes a break for it and runs behind my computer rack in my office.
The cat let’s out a meow that lets me know that she is disappointed in how ungrateful I am and then turns her attention to the computer rack.
She camps out in front of the rack for about 5 minutes when she decides that she needs to take a nap. The weekend passes and there is no sign of the gecko anywhere. Not knowing how much fun the cat had with him before she brought him into the house, I assumed that I would find a dead gecko under my computers. On Monday, I was in my office working and I moved a little desktop scale that I have next to my computer monitor to make some room for something else. And what pops out from underneath the scale? A gecko! Needless to say it startled me a bit. The cat, who is sleeping on my desk, perks up and looks at the gecko and then looks at me to say, “There’s your present!”
So I spent the next 5 minutes trying to scoop up the gecko with some papers and get him outside while the cat lounged on the desk and watched. I finally caught the little guy and put him in some flowers in the yard. When I came back inside, there was the cat all snuggled up on my desk purring.

I know this is the Pug Blog, but every once in awhile I can’t resist posting a few picture of Cupid, our kitty. Cupid is 9 years old now and is a constant companion to me. Every Monday - Friday she sprawls out on my desk and works with me the entire day. She purrs, she kneads, she sheds and sometimes when I pet here she drools. And on the weekends, she wants to know why I am such a slacker and I don’t work on Saturday & Sunday.
But don’t worry, she is still in the mix of everything on the weekends. Each weekend morning, she helps us read the paper.
She is always in the mix. On Labor Day weekend, we had a party and few people where trying to get in a game of pool. Cupid would have none of it though, because the pool table is her second favorite place to sleep. So we had a little fun with her and outlined her in the pool balls. She loved the attention!

Ben is determined that he is going to become friends with the cat. He is very optimistic, but so far he has made no progress. Cupid is a bit of a grudge holder and she has never forgiven Benjamin for his indiscretions as a puppy. She is on good terms with Henry and Luna and this really bothers Ben.
Keep trying Baby Benny. Who knows, one day she may just give in.

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.

I keep a box on my desk for the cat to lay in so she will keep off my important papers as I work. Well, sometimes the dogs also like to lay in the box. There isn’t usually a problem until the cat wants her box back. Well, here Cupid & Benjamin are in the middle of a stand off. Benjamin’s case is basically: On your feet, lose your seat, cat! Cupid’s point is: You’re too big for my box, dog! Fortunately, they are pretty good about taking turns. Cupid decided to nap on the desk while waiting for her shot at the box.

This is Luna’s Mama’s Girl outfit. It has a little bandana that she can wear around her neck or like a little kerchief like they wore in the olden days. It doesn’t make her eye sore look very flattering and she does look a bit orphanly, but she is such a sweetie she can pull anything off! She even let her sister, QP cat, wear it, too. It is so sisterly to share clothes! Cupid likes Luna the best of all the pugs. Must be a girl thing.

Well, I would feel like the blog would be incomplete if I didn’t also include a piece about Luna and the cat, Cupid. I know that we have only had Luna a short while, but she is not exempt from the nicknaming that goes on in the house. She started out as Lunatic, mostly because that is what everyone called us for wanting to get a 3rd pug. Then she went to Looney Toons, Tiny Toons and just plain Toons. Sometimes she is even Tuna. She thinks she is the Big Kahuna, though. She is a feisty little spitfire!
Cupid, the cat and honorary pug, is named such because we got her from the pound on Valentine’s Day. She is also affectionately called Cupie (like the Cupie doll). This is also abbreviated to QP. She has given herself the nickname Princess QP. She is the Princess around here, though Luna debates that title and tries to claim it for herself. So, we just tell Luna that she is the queen and the cat is her underling. (I hope the cat isn’t reading this!) This seems to keep them both happy as they both get to wear pink and prance around the house like they are the boss.
