I peered out my office door between my monitor screens and saw this the other afternoon. Luna, flat out, soaking up the sun and snoozing. She didn’t used to sleep like this. When we first got her, she always curled up in a little ball and cat napped. She never seemed to go into a deep sleep. Now she sprawls out and drifts off into a very sound sleep. I think she definitely picked up this from Henry. You can usually find him somewhere sprawled out looking like he doesn’t have a care in the world. Benny, he is more of a pillow kind of guy. He isn’t much for laying on the floor.
If you pay close attention, you will notice that Benjamin does not bark whenever Ann from CFPR is talking. That is because Ann is a very good friend of Benny’s. She once baked him a whole loaf of special “Baby Benny’s Pugkin Bread” and he has never forgotten!
Do you remember a while back when I tweeted about Benny trying to mark something out of his reach and peeing on his paw? Well, those pretty flowers in the hanging basket, just above Benny’s head in this photo, are what Benny was trying to mark when he had his little incident. Despite dirtying up his paw, Benny did not give up in trying to claim them for his own. The other morning, around 3am, Benny needed to go out to go potty. We both made our way outside and Benny attempted to mark the flowers again. In his tired stupor, Benny lifted his leg but lost his footing on the rocks which caused him to knock into the hanging pot. The pot, in turn, swung back and nearly knocked Benny off his feet. Flower pot 2, Benny 0.
I have had a lot of e-mails wondering if I could give an update on how the raffle is going. Since we have until July 31st until I draw a winner, I thought I would try my best to post an update on the total every Friday evening.
Going into the raffle, I really wasn’t sure how much we would raise. I couldn’t really decide on a goal. That being said, I am very pleased with the results so far. In just 3 days, you wonderful pug lovers have raised $433 for Compassionate Pug Rescue! Simple proof that big things can happen when we all join together!
I don’t think I can truly express how grateful and proud I am to be a part of Owned by Pugs. Owned by Pugs started as just a little website about my boys back in 2003 and it has grown into more than I could have ever imagined. Reading the comments that you leave and the e-mails that you send make my day. I can’t thank you enough for taking part in the raffle.
With a few weeks left in the raffle, I hope we can continue to add to our total. What do you think our goal should be?

Last night after dinner we spent some time in the yard enjoying a nice summer evening and unwinding from long days at work. Here are some random pics of the pugs unwinding from their long day napping

Apparently, Henry doesn’t really have much interest in how my day went.

And I couldn’t forget Cupid. Here she is climbing around in the Mimosa tree.
