For Halloween in 2005, Benjamin & Henry wanted to show off their superhero side and they dressed up as Batman & Robin. The boys were quite dashing in their costumes and they got lots of treats from the neighbors that Halloween night.
Recently, I was contacted by Dutch Pug Dog Club Commedia magazine. They are a Dutch magazine that is dedicated to the pug. They have a section in the magazine dedicated to funny pug pictures and they wanted to know if they could use Benjamin & Henry’s Batman & Robin photograph. I happily obliged and about a month later they send me a PDF of the page with Benjamin & Henry. The text is obviously not in English, so they translated it for me. The headline reads: Found on the Internet and the caption says: They put us in a funny suit and they think we are going to rescue the world. I don’t think so! That pretty much sounds like Benny & Henry.

Happy 4th of July! I hope all the US readers have a wonderful and safe holiday. Our original plans were to take the pugs to the beach today, but so far this morning it has been pouring down rain. There may be a bit of a break in the rain later this evening, but I still don’t think it will be beach weather.
So on to plan B. We are just going to have a relaxing day around the house until we go to a cookout later this evening.
One more thing, in honor of Independence Day, H. Doodle is having a sale on the Freedom Harness. For this week only it is on sale for $17.76!

As a tribute to Valentine’s Day, the pugs would like to recap some of the things that they love.
Benjamin, of course, loves food. Here are some of Benjamin’s finer moments with food. There’s Benny waiting for pumpkin bread. Benny trying to walk off with Luna’s birthday cake and even Benjamin sleeping with his bone. That’s a true pug for you! A pug that loves food!
Then there’s Henry. He isn’t quite as shallow as Baby Benny. Henry loves simple things. Henry is more like a Jimmy Buffet kind of dog. He loves relaxing in the pool in his pug tug and also going to the beach.
Luna, the diva of the trio, has definitely learned to love the finer things in life. Being the girly girl she is, she loves her fashion! Luna also has a multiple love of birthday parties. There’s cake and couture! What else could a lady need?
Needless to say, though, they also love each other!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! May you and yours feel the love all day everyday!

We just wanted to share some other photos from Christmas morning of the boys & Luna with their new goodies. Stay tuned for when Benjamin really got serious and was ready to settle….

On Christmas, we would put down a few presents on the floor and allow the dogs to tear into them. Well, we thought the first they would go for would be the peanut butter rawhide candy cane or the bully sticks but the first thing the boys went for was the package of ping pong balls that we got in an attempt to teach the boys and Luna to fetch. In the past, the only interest any of them has displayed in fetching has been with ping pong balls but they always seem to crunch it up too much to get much play out of them. So we decided to give them a 12 pack for Christmas. Low & behold, that is what Benjamin went for first and then Henry was soon to follow. Here the boys are taking turns opening the package.
Later in the day when they became more interested in too many other things, like Benjamin opening Cupid’s treats, we decided to give them a butcher bone that Santa had left in their stocking.
Christmas was a great day for people & pugs alike.

Well, Santa made a stop by our home this week. He came and spoiled all the critters here. The Boys and Cupid have a couple of Christmas day experiences under their belt, but this is Luna’s first Christmas in her forever home. She was quite overwhelmed to say the least. At first she just pranced around waiting for “something” to happen. She would go from lap to lap and room to room in her girly curiosity to try to find out what all the excitement was about.
As we all took turns opening gifts, many of which were for the dogs, we finally stumbled upon Luna’s favorite toy of Christmas day. It was brought from Maryland by G’Ma and G’Pa (Luna’s Northern grandparents). It was a Christmas tree ornament dog toy with little nubbies that are just the right size for Luna’s petite mouth. She nibbled on it and tossed it in the air. As it made noises she would back off and then she would pounce on it again chewing the little nubs.
Oddly, after she tired from all the commotion, she settled on a small plastic trash bag that we were using for used wrapping paper and she promptly napped for a while after that. She’s an unusual one that little Luna.
Stay posted for more Christmas blogging about the rest of the clan. We hope you and your family had a safe and happy holiday.

In all of the after Halloween rush of the Pugfest in Atlanta, announcing the Costume Contest winners and selling the 2007 Owned By Pugs Calendars, I almost forgot to blog about the Halloween fiasco that occured. In the photo you can see what we refer to as “the girl.” It is a little statue in the background behind Benjamin in the photo. Well, after we made our rounds through the neighborhood with the pugs in their 3 little pigs costumes, we came home to answer the door for trick or treaters. At first we didn’t have too many and we didn’t really need to man the door. Unfortunately, “someone” got careless and left the bowl of goodies on “the girl’s” tray. Of course, Benjamin the curious little pug, got to sniffin’ and smellin’ and tried to get to the goodies. He ended up pulling the girl over and her arm broke off and pieces of ceramic and Skittles went everywhere. Fortunately, no one was hurt but “the girl” is beyond repair.
Amusing side note to this story. “The girl” was a Christmas gift this past year. Henry was sleeping when she was opened and assembled. When Henry woke up, he was shocked to find the lady in his home and barked at her confused by her short stature and bewildered as to how she snuck into the house. It was quite a riot.
