After the holidays, the pugs seemed to be filthier than ever. Benny’s face was filled with dirty wrinkles (and his lip was still taking some time to heal.) Henry’s feet smelled of old cheese doodles. And Luna, well, she is always a mess. (Not sure how she’s always the dirtiest of the bunch when she has the least amount of fur.)
So, it was bath time again. The reason this bath time was a little different was because Santa had brought the humans of the house a nice fluffy little throw rug for their bedroom. After their bathes the pugs always rip & tear through the house. While this bath time was the norm with the rip & tear routine what was different was that eventually they settled onto the new fluffy throw rug to complete their drying cycle.
At some points it even seemed like the pugs were floating on a fluffy white cloud. While they may have been little terrors in the tub, they do look like little angels in these photos.

Wow! What a week! I don’t even know where to start! I guess, I will start with Christmas was wonderful and we enjoyed a nice relaxing week visiting with family and friends.
Since Benjamin, Henry & Luna slept most of last Christmas morning, Santa took it a little bit easy this year. It’s not that they didn’t get plenty, trust me, it was just that we didn’t go overboard. Plus, with all the gifts they get from family and friends they are totally overstimulated.
First, each of the pugs got a new collar and leash. We picked out a special design for each of them and they were all wrapped up in their stockings. While we were quite pleased with the gift it didn’t go over quite that well with the pugs. It was like giving underwear to a 4 year old. Totally not what they wanted. Hopefully, I should have some pictures of them sporting their new collars soon.
They each got plenty of plush toys and Luna seemed to get most excited about these. After we opened each one, she would take it and shake it causing it to fly out of her mouth. She would then have to tromp through all the wrapping paper to find it and then she would shake it all over again.
The boys were holding out because they know that Santa always delivers a good bone and this year Santa did not disappoint. Each pug got a specially filled marrow bone. And Benjamin & Henry spent the rest of Christmas Day chewing their bones and trying to get the yummy filling out of the middle. Benny worked on it so long, that he rubbed his lip raw! So needless to say that the bones had to go away for awhile. At least until Benny’s lip heals. So, Benny got a little something extra from Santa this year - a fat lip.
After all the unwrapping and chewing on Christmas, the pugs were pretty tired. Henry passed out on the sofa and enjoyed a peaceful Christmas night.
There is so much else to share. Santa also brought Benjamin, Henry, Luna & Cupid a doggie door. After installing it, I got one of the best ab workouts of my life laughing so hard at the pugs trying to learn how to use it.
Stay tuned! There is a lot more to come! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and have a safe and happy new year this evening!

Benny isn’t the only sun lover in the group. Both Henry & Luna love to bask in the morning sun as well.
These photos make me laugh because Henry looks huge in them. While he is on the bigger side for a pug, he really isn’t that large. It is just that Luna is that tiny! In fact, she is smaller than the cat.

Always aware of the latest social trends, Benjamin decided to be a bit more “green” and has taken to running on solar energy. He spent most of the day Wednesday following the sun in my office and recharging his batteries.

Henry just doesn’t miss a trick. The other evening, Henry and I were out for our little evening walk and I knew our car was parked in front of Grammy’s house up the street. It was around the corner from the route we were taking on our walk, so I didn’t think Henry would notice. We got to the corner, checked for cars and then proceeded to cross the street. Henry got halfway across the street before he stopped smack in the middle of the street and stared at the car. He took a good couple of sniffs and then looked at me like, “Hey, what’s my car doing here?” At that point the walk was over. Henry loves walks, but he just loves car rides more. Knowing that it was his car, he made a beeline for the truck. I couldn’t convince him to finish out his walk, he insisted on being driven home.

Here’s one from the archives of Henry dressed as a Reindeer. Out of all the costumes he has ever had, I think he was the most disgruntled about this one.
Looking forward to you captions in the comments!
