It’s 3 O’Clock Somewhere

Every work day at 3pm this is what I see.  Pugs gazing up at me, letting me know it is time for dinner.  A little bit before 3pm they start to gather at me feet and somehow they know exactly when the clock turns to 3:00.  If I have not gotten up to feed them by then, Benny will paw at my leg to let me know that I am neglecting my duties.  He is like a cranky old man demanding his early bird special.

Keeping Busy

Last weekend, the pugs were pretty restless.  I really wanted to take them out on a long walk, but it was just too hot for them outside.  So, I decided to give them a peanut butter filled kong.  It is not as great as exercise, but it sure does keep the pugs busy for at least an hour.  It gives them something to focus on and is mentally stimulating, which in turn tires them out.

Benjamin loves peanut butter so you can rest assured that he will not stop licking the kong until every spec of peanut butter is gone.

Unlike the others, Henry likes to chew on the kong.  So he will spend hours chewing on the kong even after he has licked all of the peanut butter.  When he chews on the kong, it makes an awful squeaking sound that just drives me crazy.  But Henry really seems to like chewing on it so I just try to drown out the noise.

And little Luna, she gets very excited when she gets a peanut butter filled kong.  She is still working on mastering holding the kong while feverishly licking the peanut butter out, so I guess she does get some exercise in because she is always chasing the kong all over the house.  She has gotten a lot better at holding the kong, though.  The first time we gave her one she would lick the kong for a few minutes and then look at us with a look that said, “Hey, why did you stick my peanut butter in there?  Couldn’t you have just put it in my bowl?”

The pugs gave me a huge greeting when I got home from my trip to Maryland earlier this week, but right after they gave me plenty of kisses the first thought they had was, “What did G-Ma send us?”  See, they know that G-Ma won’t let me leave until she has tucked away a little treat for the pugs and Cupid in my suitcase.  So, Benny, Henry & Luna knew that my suitcase had some yummy goody for them.  And guess, what?  G-Ma must read the blog because she sent them Mini Ritz PB Crackers!

I am flying up to Maryland this evening for a little bit of business and to see my Dad this father’s day weekend.  It was very nice of the pugs to wish me well!

Tails from the Treat Jar #10

Benjamin, Henry & Luna have recently discovered the Mini Ritz crackers with peanut butter filling thanks to their grandparents.  They each love peanut butter and they go crazy for these bite-sized crackers.  The rule is that if you want something at the store you better write it on the list.  I think the boys and Luna are adding a little something to my shopping list.
