Woe is Henry

I think he is still upset after loosing that blueberry biscuit in the pool yesterday. It might take awhile, but hopefully he will be able to get over it

Have a good weekend everyone!

The Anatomy of the Catch

I have been trying for awhile to get a few shots of the pugs catching treats that are tossed to them. To make it possible we had to change from Cheerios to a larger treat that would show up a bit better in mid air. So we opted for blueberry flavored dog biscuits. Something a bit bigger would have worked even better, but if you look close you can see the treats flying through the air.

The pictures of the treats the boys caught were OK, but the interesting shots were their near misses. First up is Benjamin taking one on the chin.

The toss is up. Benjamin is intently focused on the treat which is the light brown spot highlighted by the green tree background and just above the white bar.

But something went awry. Did Luna's wiggling tail cause Benny to take his eye of the treat? It doesn't much matter, the treat bounces of Benny's chin. You can see the treat as it falls to the ground.

The treat takes a couple of bounces and ends up between Luna's hind legs. Watch out little girl you are about to be up ended.

Next up is Henry and his miss was quite amusing.

The toss is good and it looks like Henry is in a good position to make the catch.

But wait, what happened! The treat bounces out of Henry's mouth at the last minute and you can see it falling to the ground.

Nooooo! Come here tasty treat!

And then the worst possible thing that could happen happens. The treat rolls into the pool. Not knowing what to do the pugs start pacing around the edge of the pool devastated that their treat has met a soggy demise.

Settled

I think Sol has adjusted to life with us pretty well so far. In her short time with us, she has already mastered the Princess & the Pea sleeping technique.

I think it is safe to say that she has made herself right at home. We couldn't be more thrilled.

Caption This #113

I went to visit G-Ma & G-Pa this weekend and took the official treat transportation device with me. I'm not sure if the pugs were happier to see me or my suitcase. Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

Hanging Out

Luna never jumps onto the back of the sofa to sleep. Unlike Benny & Cupid (the only ones that will actually jump up there on their own), Luna is afraid that she may overshoot the back of the couch and end up plummeting to the floor since our sofa does not back to anything. And that is a risk that a girl with poor vision just isn't willing to take.

The other day, I was holding Luna and walking to the kitchen. I got distracted by something else and needed two hands, so I just plopped Luna down on the back of the sofa. I went off and did whatever ticky tack thing that needed to be done and when I returned I was surprised to see Luna still on the back of the sofa looking quite pleased with herself.

Weekend Warriors - Gardening

I love working in the garden on the weekends. The pugs are pretty good helpers. Benny is good at making sure everything "gets watered", Henry chomps on the grass, Luna makes a great pug garden statue and Sol is great at pointing out all the shady spots in the yard.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads and pug dads out there!
