Flashback

This week’s flashback: Play with me!

Luna still barks at the boys all the time to get them to play.  They are even better at ignoring her now

2009 Calendar

A little over a week ago the 2009 Calendars went on sale and while it was an incredible exciting day, at the very end of it, I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief!  This is our fourth year making the calendar and I am very happy how this year’s calendar turned out.  The calendar contest and the accompanying calendar is really one of my favorite parts of the site.  It is a chance for me to see pictures of YOUR pugs!  Each day, I post something about Benjamin, Henry & Luna and share a picture and as I read all of the comments I often wonder or try to imagine things in my head of what your adorable pugs look like.  The calendar is a perfect opportunity for me to see your precious pugs.  So, I want to take the time to thank everyone who submitted a picture.  We received over 1,000 entries this year and, trust me, I looked at each picture submitted multiple times.  Narrowing down the pictures and choosing which pictures get included in the calendar is by far the hardest part.  There were so many pictures I wanted to put in, but there just wasn’t enough room on the pages.  Do you guys really need all those empty grid squares for notes and appointments?

As with every other year, we are donating a portion of the proceeds from the calendar sale to a pug rescue organization.  This year we are working with Central Florida Pug Rescue.  We have attended a few of their events and are very happy to get the chance to work with them.

On a side note, I want to share a photo of a disgruntled Henry.

Each year, I take a picture of the pugs to include somewhere in the calendar.  Well, this year, Henry was not the least bit cooperative.  On our first attempt to get a picture of Henry he had a silly look on his face for every picture.  After about 10 pictures, I took him to go potty, and wouldn’t you know that after that he was all smiles!

Thank you to everyone who submitted pictures and has bought or is going to buy a calendar.  None of this would be possible without you!

Enjoy the weekend!

Occupied

Yesterday morning Baby Benny was busy throwing the pillows off the sofa when Henry sauntered into my office and asked to go up into the bin.  Since Benny wasn’t using it, I lifted him up and put him in the bin.  A few minutes later, Benny comes into the office and wants to go in his bin.  I told him Henry already beat him to it, but he wasn’t taking no for an answer.

Dream a Little Dream

Does your pug dream?  Benjamin, Henry & Luna dream a lot!  I have been trying to get a video of at least one of them dreaming, but whenever I get close with the camera they start to stir.  I am also ever so curious as to what they are dreaming about.  Sometimes based on Benny’s muffled barks I imagine that Benny is dreaming about chasing Henry around the yard.  And the curious way that Henry sometimes flaps his feet in his dreams, I bet he is thinking about swimming.  And when Luna barks short, quick muffled barks in her sleep I know she is fussing at the boys trying to get those lazy boys to play with her.

Oh, to know what they are really dreaming about!

Caption This #79

For this week’s Caption This, I went back to the archives and found this picture of Baby Benny when he was about a year old.  Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

Bully Sticks

A few week’s ago, Mike from Best Bully Sticks sent over a few bully sticks for Benjamin, Henry and Luna to enjoy.  The boys and Luna each love to chew and we usually give them a new bone on Sundays for them to work on while we unwind and watch TV and get ready for the work week.  Yesterday, we gave the pugs each their own bully stick and they went to town!

Thanks, Mike for sending over the yummy treats!

Fashion Forward

For Benny’s first Halloween, he was a devil.  He has since outgrown his original devil shirt, but we saw this shirt on clearance a few years ago and got him a new one.  He certainly can live up to the claim.

Although the only thing he will admit to is being a handsome devil.
