Swimming for Henry means rescuing all of his toys from the pool. He has a set of water toys that float and are easy fro him to grab out of the water. After he gets his vest on, we throw all his water toys into the pool at the opposite end of the steps.
When he is ready, he goes to the first step in the pool and then jumps into the water to swim and rescue one of his toys. After he snags one of his toys from the water he swims back to the step with it and takes it out of the pool.
He will then mill around a bit on the pool deck, taking a break from his lap, and when he is ready he will jump back in the pool and rescue another one of his toys.
While it is fun to watch Henry, from the pictures you get a great idea of how Benjamin and Luna feel about Henry jumping into the pool. It makes them a nervous wreck! Plus, Benny always grabs the freshly rescued toy from Henry when he brings it out of the pool.

On Saturday the pugs went swimming for the first time this season. When the pugs go swimming for any length of time we put their life jackets on them. Having their life jackets on really improves their swimming.
We usually put their vests on poolside, but we were out in the yard, so we just suited them up out there. Henry was dilly dallying around in the yard and did not come in with us using the regular, human, door so he had to use the doggie door. Well, with his vest on he no longer fit through the doggie door. That will teach him not to be last.

When Henry isn't soaking up the sun, his second favorite activity is rolling in the grass.
If you look at all the places the puggers lay and roll, it is a miracle they make it as long between baths as they do.
Have a great weekend!

I think the thing Henry misses the most about me working from home is getting his morning sun time. He gets a bit of sun time in the midday, but by that time of the day it is often too hot for him to be outside for any length of time.
So our new routine is sun time as soon as I get home from work. As soon as I get home, the puggers and I go outside and Henry finds a nice patch of sun and just falls out

Last night, 3 stinky pugs got brushed and bathed.
The pugs always shed, but they seem to go through spurts when they shed 10 times worse than usual. Right now is one of those times. When we brushed them in the backyard last night, the fur was flying! There were little tufts of fur flying everywhere! If we collected it all, I'm sure we would have had enough to make a fourth pug from it.
After the pugs were brushed, to the bath they went. They definitely left a ring around the tub because they were quite dirty puggers.
