Benny’s New Life Jacket

The last time that we took the pugs canoeing, Benny’s life jacket pretty much fell apart while we were there.  Since Benny isn’t much of a swimmer we didn’t replace his vest until this weekend.  We have been thinking about taking the pugs on another early morning canoe outing and we wanted Benny to have a new life jacket to have on the boat with us.

We also made him test it out in the pool on Sunday.  Gotta make sure it works, Benny!

Chest Hair

Since we started talking about the scars on Luna’s back in the comments of yesterday’s post, I thought I would post a picture of Luna’s little, bare chest.  I’m not sure if you can tell simply by looking at photos, but the skin on Luna’s chest is quite soft.  On her back, the skin, where she is missing fur, is much thicker and firmer (hence scars).  For some reason, the hair on Luna’s chest has never really grown back in after she was treated for mange.  It is odd, because I have seen dogs that have had mange and are missing all kinds of fur and once they get everything treated their fur grows in as good as new.  The dermatologist can’t say why Luna’s fur hasn’t grown back on her chest, but they tell us she is no worse for the wear.  Right about now, I think her lack of fur gives her an advantage over the boys in this FL heat.

Have a great weekend!

Pug Camouflage

Can you spot Luna?

Her scars actually help her blend in pretty well.

The boys don’t blend in quite as well as the little girl.  But Luna isn’t surprised.  Just another thing that she is the best at!

Poolside Pics

Here are a few of the shots I got the other night when I was just playing around with the pugs.  It has been too hot to really do anything, so I have just been playing around with the camera hoping to capture something interesting.

Caption This #66

I snapped this shot while in the pool.  The pugs were standing by the pool’s edge and I was trying to get a shot with them looking straight down on me.  To get them to look, I was blowing bubbles in the water.  That really got Benny’s head turning.  Looking forward to your captions in the comments!

Hot

This weekend was HOT!  As soon as we would walk outside I would break a sweat and the pugs would start to pant.  We swam in the pool a bit on Sunday, but going in and out of the pool wasn’t even enough to keep the pugs cool.  So, the pugs happily spent most of their weekend indoors lounging about and chewing on some bones.  It was most definitely a lazy summer weekend.

How about you?  How was your weekend?

Everyone needs a Henry for a pillow

Both Luna and Benjamin love to snuggle with Henry.  I think it is because Henry is not a wiggle worm.  Once he gets comfortable he will usually stay put.  Then Benjamin & Luna come join him.

Have a great weekend everyone!
