Passed Out

The holidays have really taken their toll on the little girl.  She is realizing just how tiring all the Christmas prep can be.

A Huge Thanks to our devoted Voters and PetSource.org

I would like to THANK everyone who voted for Benjamin & Henry in the PetSource.org Halloween Costume Contest.  Because of your daily clicks the boys took home first place, earning Compassionate Pug Rescue $1,000.  Last weekend, Compassionate Pug Rescue received their check in the mail!  Hearing that news made my weekend!

So a huge thank you to all of you!  Without your daily clicks none of this would have ever been possible!

Finishing My Train of Thought

So, if you read Monday’s blog post, you might have wondered why it was titled Going Bananas.  Sure, you might be able to infer that after all that grooming I was a little bit out of my mind, and while that is true, my whole point of titling the post Going Bananas was because we got some new shampoo that smells like bananas.

It was my intention to tie all that in and the new banana shampoo was supposed to be the real subject of the post.  But I got interrupted a couple times and totally lost my train of thought.  It wasn’t until a re-read the post yesterday that it dawned on me that I only told half the story.

So here is rest:

We bought some banana scented shampoo for the pugs.  In the bottle, it smelled just like banana runts!  And banana runts are the only runts worth eating in my opinion   So now, I have 3 little pugs running around the house that smell like fresh bananas.  I like it.  Too bad it won’t last long!

Going Bananas

This Sunday the pugs went 5 rounds with beauty.

• Round 1: Toenail clipping and grinding
     
• Round 2: A Good Teeth Brushing
     
• Round 3: Brushing with the Zoom Groom
     
• Round 4: Wrinkle & Ear Cleaning
     
• Round 5: A Bath

Little Luna was the last to get a bath and too celebrate we gave her a fur hawk.  Needless to say she wasn’t thrilled!

All Dressed Up With Nowhere to Go

The boys were kind enough to let me take some pictures of them modeling the new bow tie collars that we just got into the shop.  While I snapped some pictures Luna pitched a fit because she wasn’t included.  I really wanted to include Luna with a little bow tie of her own, but she is far too wiggly.  The girl just can’t sit still.  And when she is wiggling around, she makes Benjamin & Henry move around.  Plus, being the diva that she is, she demands to be paid before, after and during the shoot.  When that is not at all what the contract states.  10% of the treats are awarded up front and the remaining portion is awarded when the project is complete.  She simply will not agree to those terms!

The boys are such pros at sitting and getting their picture taken that towards the end, I usually have a hard time getting shots with their eyes open.  They become far too relaxed and they fall asleep on me.

They know the routine.  Sit still, look cute and then we will be handsomely rewarded.

Down Dog

If he had to stand on his head to get the peanut butter out of that Kong he would.  He will get every last bit.
