On a side note, this in all likelihood will be the last year that I will be holding the Owned by Pugs Calendar Contest. While it is a ton of fun, it is also a lot of work and unfortunately I don't have as much time to devote to the calendar as I once did. So, get your marvelous pictures submitted so this year can be the best year ever!
Here is little Luna's Swim Camp clip. She is by far the best swimmer out of the 3 pugs, but she is very nervous in the water. No under water clips of her swimming. If you go under water to get video of her swimming she doesn't know where to swim to!
Benjamin and Luna are very happy that their obligatory, yearly dip in the pool is complete. Now they don't have to worry about having to get in the pool until next year. I'm sure that makes Henry happy because that means more pool time for him.
Here is Benjamin's Swim Camp clip. Note the lack of enthusiasm on his part. He is all about swimming to the step hopping out of the pool and then running through the doggie door and back into the house so he can drip all over the rug. Paybacks
We held a mini swim camp last week and here is a short clip of Henry in action.
Henry really is the only pug that enjoys swim camp. Luna barely tolerates it and Benjamin absolutely hates it. Its a shame because it is such good exercise for the pugs when it it too hot for them to walk.
We held a mini swim camp over the weekend and as I was setting things up I started to feel like the pugs were small children.
First we have to dig out their life vests so they will be safe.
Then we have to get out all their pool toys so they have something to play with. And once all the pool toys are out, we have to watch them all fight for the same toy. I wouldn't know from first hand experience, but sounds like kids to me
Swim camp pics to hopefully follow later in the week!
Here is Benjamin finally settled in this dog bed. The crazy thing about this is that he scratched and settled eventually under the cushion of the bed. He is using the cushion as a blanket! Silly Benny! I guess this is the way he asks for us to turn the AC down.
