Henry was on ear cleaning duty again this weekend. It is very helpful that Henry is on top of ear cleaning. In addition to ears, Henry also like to clean eyes. He does a good job at that as well, except sometimes he almost licks the eye drops right out of Luna's eyes. He is on top of his grooming job a little bit too much some days.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Meet backup puffy. Backup puffy is exactly the same as puffy except it is a different color. It is also technically Henry's, but Benjamin commandeered it almost a decade ago.
Puffy and backup puffy were one of the first toys that G-Ma gave to the boys back when we still measured the boys' age in weeks. Benjamin immediately developed a strange bond with the puffy that G-Ma gave him and pretty soon it became part of Benny's routine. In addition to hanging out with puffy throughout the day, Benny always finds puffy after he eats and he always seeks out puffy when he goes to bed.
Knowing how fond Benny was of puffy we also kept a close eye on backup puffy. To Henry it was just another toy, so we made sure backup puffy never got lost in the mix. We also tried to substitute backup puffy for regular puffy on the rare occasions when the whereabouts of puffy were unknown. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
Even today backup puffy is a tough sell for Benjamin and whenever I see him carrying around backup puffy a little feeling of panic comes over me. "Oh, no! Where is puffy?!?" I think. Because there have been more than a few times that we have been searching the house high and low for puffy at bedtime. My favorite is when we could not find puffy anywhere in the house so we had to move the search to the backyard. There we were with flashlights searching the backyard for puffy with Benjamin standing watch. We eventually found puffy just hanging out in the backyard.

Remember Simba? Well, not only does Simba visit us on walks he also makes house calls. Every so often when we are hanging out outside, Simba comes strutting over.
Benjamin is fascinated by Simba. He is still shocked that there is a cat in this world that likes him. Henry and Luna have gotten used to Simba and pretty much ignore him when he comes to visit.
And Cupid? Cupid is definitely not happy when Simba comes calling. She stares him down and gives him her best Calico attitude. Although, even though she would never admit it, she doesn't get nearly as worked up as she used to. I think even she is getting used to having Simba around.

The boys of summer like to hang out in the shade! It has even been too hot for Henry and Henry absolutely loves the sun.
I feel bad for the pugs because our walks have been so short. One quick jaunt early in the morning and then one short walk in the evening. And sometimes our evening walks get rained out. But, I don't think the pugs mind too much because as soon as they step paw outside the door their urge to walk quickly fades.

Grammy saw this book at a book store that was closing and got us a copy as a gift.
I love to read books about pugs. Especially books that tell you about the breed and what you should expect as a pug owner. I like to compare the book's advice to my own experiences as being a pug owner.
I came across the tidbit below in the book and it really made me laugh. It is one of those things that is so funny because there is a lot of truth in it.
"Never walk a pug farther than you are willing to carry her. Sometimes she may just sit down on an outing and refuse to go anywhere."
Have a great weekend!

Sometimes I think Benjamin is more of a lady than Luna. I mean he even crosses his front paws. Luna, on the other hand really likes to let it all hang out.
