I know Halloween is over and it is pretty much full steam ahead to Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I wanted to share some of the outtakes from our Halloween photos. I snapped over 400 pictures to get the few gems that I posted last week.
Most of Ben's funny pics involved him wearing his hat on his chin. He seemed much happier with it there. Although, he did try to wear it on the side of his head for a bit too.

Happy Halloween from the Crayola Crayons!

I hope you have a spectacularly spooky Halloween. We are certainly thinking of all of our friends in the Northeast.

One of the things we talk about almost every evening when outside with the pugs is "What are Benjamin, Henry and Luna going to be for Halloween this year?"
For some reason, our well of ideas has run dry. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions on what the pugs should be this year for Halloween?

In honor of Labor Day, Benjamin, Henry & Luna decided to take a day off from their usual toils to relax. It's really tough for them to take a day off and I am sure they are going to have a lot of work on Tuesday to catch up on after the long weekend.
I hope you are taking a page out of the pugs' book and having a relaxing day.

This Christmas, the pugs seemed to be more spoiled than ever before (if that is even possible). One of their many goodies that they were gifted was a bubble machine. This present was the gift of their Aunt Laurie, Uncle Phil and Cousin Lulu. And this was no ordinary bubble machine! It was a bubble machine with bacon scented bubble juice! (And really, I wish we had a scratch and sniff for this blog---hahaha---doubt I’ll ever say that again!) But the bubble mix really smelled like bacon! It was amazing.
So, at long last, we finally got around to seeing what the puggers would do with this toy. I had pretty low hopes of it being a hit, sorry Aunt Laur. However, not many people would know this (as I try not to boast about what wimpy pups I have) but the boys have been fearful of bubbles each time we have made an effort to use them during play times. So, there, it is out in the open and official. The boys are bona fide chickens. Cluck cluck cluck. We know that Benjamin has always been Baby Benny and he’s pretty much been afraid of everything. So, that should be no shocker.
However, that does leave Henry. Henry is pretty adventurous and overall a risk taker. With that said, Henry, too has not been a bubble lover throughout his life. He’s always seems a bit suspicious of them. It’s been like he questions them. "Hey, bubble, what makes you able to float?" He wants to know why they pop when they touch him. Why he cannot smell them before they burst. Why do they seem to "chase" him? And of course, how can they be so silent? It like they are stealth marshmallows but without the yummy taste!
Then once we adopted Luna, she was a nervous wreck at the beginning so we didn’t really explore bubble play with her in her early years. Then when finally did she just didn’t seem too interested. Although, she was neither a nervous Nellie nor a siss-i-fied tweety bird like her brothers. She just wasn’t quite "into it" and by the time she showed interest, I was too out of breath from blowing so many bubbles that then I wasn’t into it either.
So, to make a long story longer ('cause that is what I do best) I didn’t have the highest expectations when it came to the bubble machine. Although, I wanted them to love it! I myself have always thought that bubbles are quite awesome and enjoy them wholeheartedly. It has been a disappointment the pug-a-lugs have not felt the same and have never embraced bubbles with the same affinity that I have for them.
In any case, here is how it played out…
The boys were pretty much not interested and Luna was somewhat interested but didn’t "play" with the bubbles. At the end of this event, I sort of felt like I was back in Jr. High School science class where I had to make a prediction as to what the outcome of the experiment would be, have the experiment and graph if the results were that which I expected or not. While not what I had hoped they would be, they were pretty much just what I anticipated.
Sorry, Aunt Laurie & Uncle Phil. Cool gift but lost a bit on the aging, wimpy pugs of Central Florida. Perhaps we should re-gift it to Cousin Lulu? Let me know. If she is more puppy-like and brave, she might very well enjoy it to the level that is meant to be enjoyed.
Enjoy the video. You can see for yourself. You, too, can experience the tiny bubbles.

With both G-Ma and Santa visiting last week, the pugs have been on high treat alert. Not a bag was crinkled without at least one pug inspecting it for treats.
I sure am glad that it is pug weather here in FL, the pugs and I have some serious walking to do to make up for all those extra holiday treats.
