Luna is Queen of the big stretch. After she has been sitting or sleeping for a bit, she will stand up, stretch her front paws out and lean back with her butt in the air just like in the photo. If she was really relaxing, after she stretches out her front paws, she will stretch out her back legs and lean forward holding her head high. Then she is thoroughly warmed up and ready to keep the boys in line.

During the winter months, when it gets dark so terribly early, we sometimes take the pugs to the tennis courts and let them run around. I know this a clear violation of the rules posted outside the court, but we make sure the pugs are on their best behavior and make sure we leave the courts in no worse shape then when we arrived (and of course we never take them there when anyone is playing tennis).
The boys have been going to the tennis courts ever since they were pups. When we lived in Maryland, we did not have a fenced yard and the tennis courts in our neighborhood were never used by anyone. So we started taking the pugs there to do some training. Since the courts are fenced, we could let the boys off their leash and we would practice their come and stay commands. When working on the come command, each one of use would stand at one end of the court and we would call the boys back and forth. Not only did it help them learn the command, but it also helped them burn off some of that puppy energy. For stay, we would tell the boys to stay at one point on the court and then walk around until we let them break their stay.
Now we pretty much just use the tennis courts for the pugs to run around. They like to play chase around the net. It is really just a bigger version of the game of chase they play around the sofa at home!

We didn’t get to do much with the pugs this weekend since we were so busy doing our holiday shopping. So, I thought we would take advantage of Monday night and get the pugs out for some much needed exercise. The City Center near the house puts up lots of lights for the holidays and it is always beautiful. We hadn’t been over to see the lights this year, so I thought we would take the pugs over for a nice walk around the lake and enjoy the lights at the same time.
It was such a beautiful night out that we decided to stop and get some ice cream for us and the pugs afterwards. Needless to say, I think the pugs enjoyed the ice cream more than the lights.
Sorry for the low quality photos, I took them with my phone.

Just a reminder that Wednesday, December 17, 2008 is the last day to order an Owned by Pugs Calendar and have it delivered before Christmas. You may always order a calendar after Wednesday, but we can not guarantee that it will arrive before Christmas. Thanks to all who have purchased a calendar so far!

This weekend was filled with lots of shopping and rushing around to get all our holiday tasks accomplished. It was all quite tiring, so I was so happy to get a chance to crash on the couch with the pugs and watch some football. Before getting up to snap the picture and get dinner ready, I was curled up under the orange blanket enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet.
How was your weekend?

Here we have Benny in his Tuff Pup shirt. What is funny is that he really isn’t a tuff pup at all. He is 100% pure softie.
