The boys spend their afternoon gazing out the door from the couch, but little Luna prefers a front row seat. Starting around 4:30ish during the week you can find Luna peering out the door. To be able to see anything happening out on the street, I think she pretty much has to be right up on the door. She wouldn't be able to see too much from the couch.
What always cracks me up is that she is just tall enough to peer out from a sitting posting. From the outside all you see is this little head peaking out at you.
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend!

I know this isn't the greatest picture of Benny, but when I saw it it reminded me of a picture of baby elephant seal that I saw on The Guardian. They bear an uncanny resemblance if you ask me.
View Benny's long lost cousin.

I was at the book store perusing the bargain aisle when I came across the Good Treats Cookbook for Dogs. I picked up the book and the first page I flipped to was a recipe for Pumpkin Twists. Needless to say, that recipe caught my attention. I continued to flip through the pages and found a lot of recipes that I thought the pugs would love. There were Banana Peanut Butter Biscuits, Apple Kissed Peanut Butter Treats and even some frozen treats that I thought would be perfect for the pugs after a walk in the hot FL evenings.
For my first dog treat baking experience I decided to try to make Chicken Ginger Biscuits. I was worried that the pugs weren't going to like them, but after they got their first taste Benny promptly scratched on the pantry door for more. Success!
Here is the recipe for the Chicken Ginger Bones if you would like to give it a shot.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (I used low sodium)
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, and ginger.
In a second bowl, combine the chicken broth, egg and oil. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well blended.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut into desired shapes. Combine dough scraps and repeat rolling and cutting into biscuits until all dough is used.
Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
Cool on a rack before serving.
Store biscuits in a sealed container.

I took a little trip last week and when I arrived back at the airport I was greeted with these three cuties. It sure beats those people that stand there with the signs with your name on it.

Remember how Cupid was drinking out of the dog's water bowl? Well, the dog germs must have been too much for her because the other day, I caught her drinking out of my water cup.
And, yes, it is August and I am still drinking from a snowman mug 
Have a good weekend everyone!

We try to get the pugs out for a walk each night in the summer, but sometimes it is so hot that we don't make it past the front yard. Instead, we just hang out around the house so we don't have too far to go to get back in the AC.
But, on nights when we can actually get a little walk in, the pugs are giddy with excitement. They love their walkies.
