It has been a rough couple of days so we decided to take the gang out for some ice cream. We headed over to our favorite frozen custard shop and what do you know? Their flavor of the day was peanut butter. Benjamin, Henry and Luna go nuts for peanut butter so we decided to get them each a doggie dish of peanut butter ice cream. They thoroughly enjoyed it!

To help manage Luna’s dry eye issues, she gets drops in her eyes three times a day. The little girl is a trooper and she allows us to put the drops in her eyes without putting up too much of a fuss. To reward her for being such a good girl, we give her a small treat after she has received her drops.
The boys caught on to this and started begging to get eye drops so that they could get a treat. So to be fair, after Luna gets her drops, everyone gets a treat.
One of Luna’s eye medications needs to be refrigerated and it has gotten to the point that as soon as Benjamin and Henry hear me get the drops out of the fridge they come running for a treat. Furthermore, they egg Luna on and tell her to go get her drops so they can get a treat!
Poor, Luna. She sure did get the raw end of the deal.

Each week when I cook the turkey for the gang’s food, Benjamin parks himself on the mat by the stove. He stays there the entire time I am cooking and while he relaxes a bit he is always alert and ready to pounce on any morsel I may drop.
While I love Benjamin and enjoy doing things with him, I wish he didn’t try to help as I cooked turkey. Cooking about 11 packages a ground turkey is a tedious process and I could sure use the extra foot room while I am working. But that is where the little man likes to lay, so I just work around him.
Luna and Henry aren’t as interested in the cooking process. They prefer to lounge in the living room while I cook.

Not Guilty. That was the plea that Benjamin entered the other morning when he was accused of stealing Cheerios out of my cereal bowl. The only problem the pug faced was that there were witnesses that saw the little pug hop up on the kitchen chair and proceed to fill his chubby little cheeks with as many Cheerios as possible before someone realized what he was up to.
Sorry, Baby Benny, you were totally busted! If your lucky and your play your cards right maybe we can work out some kind of plea bargain.

This weekend I took a quick trip to go visit my parents. Since it was such a short trip the pugs did not come with me. However, when I got home they did give me a nice big welcome. However, I'm not sure if they were happy to see me or my suitcase. See, I make these trips many times a year and by now they know that Grandma doesn't let me leave until she has loaded my suitcase with treats. So as soon as I get home they head straight for my suitcase and start looking around for treats.
Here Benjamin is asking, "So where did you hide them this time?"

Benjamin, Henry and Luna are all on a special, homemade diet. The main ingredient in their special food is ground turkey. To make things easier during the week, Sunday is the designated turkey cooking day. Each Sunday we cook anywhere from 10-15 packages of ground turkey. Needless to say, it can be a tedious task, but overall it is worth all the effort. Since we switched to the new diet almost 3 years ago many of Benjamin and Henry’s digestion issues have been cured. Since adopting Luna, she has been transitioned over to the new diet as well. Out of all three of them, I would say that Luna likes the food the most. She just goes nuts for the turkey.
While we cook the turkey and get everything prepped for the week, Benjamin, Henry and Luna all wait patiently in the kitchen watching our every move and just hoping that a bite of turkey will fall on the floor.

Last week my Mom, Dad and Sister all came to town for a visit. It was great to take a break from work and to have a chance to spend some time with the family. Benjamin, Henry and Luna had a great time as well because no one spoils them quite like their Grandma and Grandpa.
Grandma and Grandpa came bearing gifts and treats. Plus, they even made sure that they got the boys and little Luna frozen custard from our favorite ice cream shop. Doggie dishes of ice cream are actually on the menu and every doggie dish comes topped with a bone. It is funny because the boys and Luna want nothing to do with the bone until after they have finished their ice cream.
Oh and don’t worry, we didn’t get a fourth pug. We accidentally ordered four doggie dishes. We kept the extra one because we thought the cat might enjoy it. No such luck. She didn’t want anything to do with it.
