Henry swam so much this weekend, that I am expecting him to sleep for at least the next few days. It was quite hot this weekend, so we were in and out of the pool on both Saturday and Sunday to cool off after working in the yard, cutting grass, etc. Henry played a marathon game of fetch on Saturday and was back at it again on Sunday.
He was in rare form on Saturday and insisted on diving into the pool each time.
It is really fun to watch Henry jump into the pool, but what is even funnier to watch is Benjamin & Luna. They get very worked up when Henry leaps in from the side. They prefer him to go to the first step and then just shove off from there. They feel that is much safer. When Henry is getting read to jump in from the side, Benjamin & Luna are nervous bundles of energy pacing back and forth all while keeping a close eye on Henry.

Luna even goes as far as trying to bite Henry's ankles on his way in.

And where is Sol during all of this? She is staying cool in the shady lanai, shaking her head, saying "Kids!"

Well, it has finally happened - I have run out of outfits for Fashion Forward posts. All in all there were 39 Fashion Forward posts.
So, I am going to start a new theme for Sundays called Weekend Warriors. Each week, I am going to post a picture of something we enjoy doing with the pugs in our downtime. I have no idea how long this series will last, I'm just going to go with it and see how it does. As always, I'd love to get your feedback.
And now for the first Weekend Warrior post. Playing fetch with Henry in the pool.

This week's flashback: Ode to Pumpkin Bread
Some more pumpkin bread fun.

Ann was gracious enough to bake a whole bag of pugkin bread pupcakes for the pugs (Ann's recipe). The pugs just loved that the pupcakes were their very own serving!
If you are wondering why Sol's napkin is further back than Benjamin, Henry & Luna's that's because two seconds earlier she pulled this stunt.

For the curious, this is what Henry built.

Baby Jax had his liver shunt surgery Tuesday and is recovering nicely. A huge thank you to all that helped Baby Jax!

This is why the Ikea instruction booklets are just pictures.
