Always Well Behaved for the Camera
Sol loves to bark at anyone that passes by the front door. In fact, she likes to keep barking even after the person has long passed.
She has such a cute little bark, that I have been trying for a while now to get a video of her giving anyone that passes by a hard time. However, as soon as I sneak up with the camera she stops. She doesn't want any of her bad behavior caught on film.
How the deaf dog hears me every time, I don't know, but here is proof.

Weekend Warriors - Sunday Drives
It may be too hot to go for walks, but an A/C cooled car is just right.

Puppy Henry Swimming
I have been organizing my photos, so I have spent a lot of time perusing the picture archives. A lot of those pics are puppy pictures of the boys and when I came across a set of of the boys in the pool at G-Ma & G-Pa's house, I realized that Henry really took to the water as a pup.
Here he is playing aqua fetch. My first thought when I saw this picture is, "He doesn't have a life vest on!" Geez, what kind of mother am I?
And here is is sticking his head underwater. Some things never change.
Whenever I look at puppy pictures of the boys, I can't help but wish that I had pictures of Luna & Sol as pups. Can you just imagine how tiny Luna must have been? And Sol? I can't even imagine what a little baby Sol would be like.
Happy Birthday, G-Pa!

Things you might not know about the pugs
Sol lets out a little toot almost every time you pick her up. It adds to her old lady charm.
Henry is highly offended by farts and even fart sounds. If you pass gas, he will walk off in a huff and glare at your from across the room. He will even leave if you are petting him. That's how offended he gets.
Benjamin is terrified of sewers. If he comes upon a sewer unexpectedly he will drop to his belly and scrape his nails. He knows where every single sewer is in our neighborhood and stays as far away as possible on each walk. He has been like this since the day we brought him home. In fact, he almost got hit by a car on our very first walk together. He saw a sewer & hit the ground and a car turned a corner and almost hit us both. At first I had no idea why he hit the ground & was trembling in fear, but after a few days I figured out he was afraid of all the sewers in the neighborhood. After he made a mental map of all the drain locations he did a lot better on walks.
Luna eats dried worms. Or at least she tries to when we are not looking.
Well, there you have it. A few pug secrets exposed.

Leave It
Sol has mastered the sit command, so we have started teaching her "leave it" because that is a completely foreign concept to her. We have completed a few training sessions so far and they have gone really well.
We cover the treat with our hand, to indicate "leave it" and then we tap twice next to the treat to let her know when it is OK to "take it".
Here is a little video of a training session. There are a few sits in there as well.
