For the month of April the Sol Sunshine Memorial Fund is the rescue charity for Pugpossessed's Etsy store. We are so very thrilled that Punchy has selected Sol's fund and $5 from every sale made during the month of April will be going to Solsey's fund to help senior pugs.
Many of you are already familiar with Punchy's work. She was the design mastermind behind Benjamin, Henry & Luna's Charlie Brown halloween costumes.
So be sure to check out her shop this month. She has lot of items for pugs and pug lovers alike. She even has an adorable tie set for all the boy pugs out there.

For one week, and one week only, I have a 6 year old pug (Luna), a seven year old pug (Henry) and an 8 year old pug (Benjamin). Then Henry will join his brother and officially become a senior pug. Can you believe the boys are considered seniors now? I sure can't!

Luna was happily chewing her bone in the living room when someone walked into the kitchen. Not wanting to overreact and lose her bone to one of her brothers, Luna continued to chew the very tippy top of her bone and cast a discerning eye toward the kitchen.
If just Luna was chewing it, a bone of this size, would last Luna a lifetime. I would say she is more of a nibbler than a chewer. But even though she doesn't make much progress when chewing she loves to spend a little time each night nibbling away.

On Saturday we had a lot of fun spoiling our new 8 year old. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the day got off to a slow start so we spent some time outside, in the yard, soaking up the sun and enjoying the weather.
After that I took Benny on a little walk all by himself. I think he really liked that. He loves to walk with the others, but sometimes I think they all enjoy getting to go out by themselves.
Later that day, Benny took a little nap while we went out and hunted for his favorite bone. For some reason, we haven't been able to find them recently. After a couple of stops we finally found them and bought all they had so Benny would have a little stockpile.
We debated on what to have for dinner but then settled on pizza because pizza crust is pretty high up on Benny's favorite treats list. He seemed to like his pizza crust and after about an hour we gave him his favorite peanut butter bone that he hasn't had in about 6 months or more (Henry & Luna also got a peanut butter bone to chew). This made him really excited and he chewed for the rest of the night.
Needless to say, by about 10 PM we had one tired pug on our hands.

Today Benjamin turns 8 years old and we realized that there are conveniently 8 letters in Benny's name. So what could be more fitting than a look back at Baby Benny over the years using each letter of his name.
B for Baby: He will always be our Baby Benny.
E for Eats Everything: It's year 2 and Benjamin is still very fond of mulch, rocks and lots of other things that are not good for him.
N for Never Ending Energy: In year 3 we thought some of Benny's puppy energy would have faded by now, but he is still going strong.
J for Just Curious: In year 4 Benny finally started to calm down a bit but he was still curious about everything.
A for Awesome: Sure Benny has always been awesome, but by the time he was 5 he blossomed into his quirky, lovable self.
M for Mr. Manner: At 6 years old, Benjamin became quite the mannerly gentleman. Not sure how it happened, but I'll take it.
I for In Love with Puffy: Even after 7 years Benny is still inseparable from his puffy.
N for Next Adventure: At 8 Benny is ready for his next adventure.

We had the carpets cleaned last week and had to move the pugs' crates out of their little room. The crates took temporary residence in the bathroom and the pugs felt compelled to all pile in one while I was getting ready that day. Surprisingly, no one asked to go in the crate on top. Benjamin didn't stay long because he felt like Henry & Luna were hogging all the crate space.
And by the way, Luna got another "How old is that one?" comment last night on our walk. After this week's blog post I couldn't help but laugh and I though you guys might get a chuckle out of it.
Enjoy the weekend!
