On Monday night, shortly after we got back from our walk with the pugs, we realized that we had forgotten to run out and get cat food for Cupid earlier in the night. Having about a half hour before the store closed, we headed out and we decided to bring Luna with us. From time to time we try to do things with the pugs individually. And since most of Luna's one on one car trips usually involve a visit to the eye doctor we thought she would enjoy getting to take a field trip to the pet store.
Since we were there for cat food, we headed to the cat section first. Luna didn't seem to care that she was in the cat food section and all the bags of food smelled yummy to her.
After we stocked up on Cupid's food, we went to the dog section, got a few chewies and let Luna explore a bit. Out of all the bones they had on the lower shelf, Luna showed the most interest in this bone. A style of rawhide bone that I don't think she has ever had before. She took one tiny lick and then she was on to bigger and better things.
She patiently waited as we checked out and right before we left, she posed atop the mound of dog food they have piled by the door.

We went to the bookstore this weekend and no trip to the bookstore would be complete without a stop in the Pet section. As we made our way over, I noticed a clearance table and I saw the book Test Your Dog The Dog IQ Test. I had seen this book before and flipped through it quickly, but now that it was "bargain priced" I couldn't resist getting it and taking the quiz for each one of the pugs.
When I got home, I flipped to the first question and it reads, "Does your dog recognize the signs that indicate you are preparing his or her food?" My choices were Always, Sometimes or Never. However, I didn't feel those answers were emphatic enough. Perhaps a YES with five exclamation points would be a better choice. Or "They can read my mind and know when I am going to feed them before I even make a move towards the kitchen" would be more accurate.
The second question is "Does your dog have different reactions to different foods (e.g. is especially eager for a piece of salami vs. the same old dry dog food)? Hello! Can you say PUGKIN BREAD!
At this point, I slammed the book closed, looked at the pugs and told them that if we stop at question number two all four of you are geniuses!

Looking forward to your captions in the comments.
Please note that this is not an endorsement for Nutro dog food. It was just us taking advantage of a photo-op with Luna. As you know, we feed the pugs a homemade diet and I am not about to throw my hat in the ring and start recommending dog food.

Today's Daily Shot is courtesy of Patty and her three adorable puggies Rocky, Adrian & Gulliver. Awhile back she wrote to tell me that while out and about she saw a restaurant called Sol y Luna. She recently got back to that part of town and was kind enough to send me a picture. Thanks Patty!

I'm not exactly sure what Luna does when I put her food bowl down, but about two seconds after her meal is placed in front of her it looks like her bowl has exploded. We have tried bigger bowls, bowls with higher sides, but no matter what we give her she ends up with food from one side of the kitchen to the other. It is almost like she prefers to eat off the floor. Whatever her preference, it sure doesn't make it easy to keep the kitchen clean.
