Good news for the pugs - Pumpkin bread is back at Bob Evans! We brought home a special loaf to share with the pugs and they were so excited I couldn't torment them by making them pose for pictures. Let's just say it went a little like this.
But, I think the surprise of the day was when Cupid showed interest in the pumpkin bread. She didn't actually eat any, but she did spend a good 5 minutes licking the crust. It's official. She has been hanging around the pugs way too much!

This is a picture of Henry with one of the new bones the pugs got the other night as a treat. Henry had been chewing the bone for a good hour at least and in this picture he is done chewing and ready for a little nap. However, he doesn't want Benjamin or Luna to get his bone, so he just sits with it in his mouth. He must have sat there for 15 minutes or more before his eyelids finally got too heavy. The joys of siblings.

Seriously? I don't know why we even bother giving Luna a bowl. I think she might just prefer it if we dumped her food on her placemat.

It has only taken him 9 years, but Henry has finally started to put a dent in his kong. Henry loves to get a peanut butter filled kong and he will lick and chew on the kong for hours one end. He only chews on the kong after he has gotten all the peanut butter out from inside. I think, he thinks, that if he chews on the kong he can crack it open and get every last drop of peanut butter out from inside. He has been trying for 9 years to crack open the kong and he is finally getting one step closer. You can now see his teeth marks. Progress....

This is Henry's, "May I please have a piece of the banana you are eating" face.

The pugs are so used to me taking pictures of them that they pretty much ignore me when I have the camera out. So, sometimes, the difference between a picture like the one above where Henry is like whatever and the one below where Henry is engaged in what is going on is a simple question.
"Are you hungry?"
It's funny, I don't know how many times I have asked that question in the last 9 years, but never have the pugs answered, "Nah, not really." I always get an emphatic YES!

A few eagle eyed blog readers spotted Henry lurking in the background of Monday's Temptation blog post. The pugs are very much aware that if one of them gets a treat they all get a treat, so they have been known to take turns buttering us up for goodies because if one of them wins they all win.
This couldn't be more true of drive-thrus. On the rare occasions when we pick up something quick from the drive-thru and we have the pugs with us, Benjamin & Henry totally turn on the charm for the drive-thru workers to score treats.
Luna does not like to be anywhere near an open window in a car, so she patiently waits for one of her brothers to earn her a treat. To help increase the pugs' odds of getting a special treat, we let one of them up to the front of the car while we go through the drive-thru so they can get a good look at what is going on.
Since Luna has no interest, the boys have traditionally taken turns. Using their handsome good looks they have scored cookies, McNuggets, french fries and lots of other goodies.
The boys used to be happy taking turns, that is until Henry had his turn up front and did not score any treats from the drive-thru for the pugs. Henry had the bad luck of getting a non dog person on his turn and Benny has never let him forget it.
And from that day forward, Benny insists that he be the one up front, putting his cute wrinkles to good use. And those wrinkles of his have never let him down.
I know Henry wants nothing more than a chance to redeem himself, but Benny is just not having it. I think I caught him muttering under his breath something about "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!"
