Elvis

Here is Benny working on his Elvis impersonation.  Benny is just such a bag of wrinkles and he has very big jowls that they sometimes get hung up and he just makes the most adorable faces.

When we first adopted Luna, she didn’t really have much bone etiquette.  Meaning that if one of the boys was chewing a bone she would just walk up and try to chew the other end.  Luna’s thinking was, “Your not using this end, so you shouldn’t mind if I chew it.”  This broke all the established rules for Benjamin & Henry, though.  So Benjamin showed her that simultaneous bone chewing by 2 pugs on one bone was not OK by growling and showing her his teeth.  The funny part was that no matter how hard Benny tried to lift his big jowls, you would never see his teeth.  He would try his best to scrunch up his face, but his teeth would never show.  It just cracked me up because Benny is just a big softie anyway.  He wouldn’t hurt a fly.

New Bed

I was strolling through Walgreens the other day, when I saw this cute dog bed.  At first, I was a little taken off guard because I didn’t expect Walgreens to have such a cool dog bed.  But after I looked at it for awhile, I just knew that the boys and Luna would love this new bed.  It didn’t matter that they needed this bed like I needed a hole in my head.  The pugs already have about 5 or 6 nice pillow beds.  But, this bed was wasn’t your typical pillow bed, it had sides and I just thought they would like that for a change.  And for $10, I just couldn’t resist it.  So, of course, I bought the bed.

As soon as I put the bed down on the floor, the pugs didn’t disappoint.  Benjamin immediately jumped in and made himself comfortable.

As soon as Benjamin left the bed, Henry jumped right in and tried it out for himself.

The next morning, I noticed that Henry was lounging in the bed again.  Ben, however, wanted Henry to make room for him too, so he squeezed in as much as he could.

Photo Wall

We have a wall in our “play” room that we call our picture wall.  On the wall is an 8x10 of each one of the pets.  We try to update the wall with new pictures every few months, but we have fallen pretty far behind lately.  So far behind actually, that the last update was pre-Luna so, the little girl didn’t even have her picture up on the wall.

So, this week, we finally got around to updating the wall.  The first photo is a good overview, but her is each individual shot.

When we take the pugs out in the yard, we let Cupid come with us.  She loves to eat the grass and chase the bugs.

Benny loves to mug for the camera.  His is so handsome and he knows it!

Henry is the silliest.  There is something about the grass and the sun that just makes him want to roll around.

And last but not least, little Luna.  She is such a sweetheart.

Benny’s Throne

Every afternoon, shortly after his lunchtime snack, you will find Benny sitting on his throne.  His throne is really the arm of the sofa, but don’t tell him that.  He loves to perch himself up there because it is a cozy spot and he has a direct view out the front door.  Therefore, he can bark at passersby from the lap of luxury.

Here is what the King can see from his royal spot.  Notice Henry laying on the rug by the door.  That is Henry’s favorite afternoon spot.

Diet

All this talk about food has me wondering,

Pizza Crust To Go

Pizza is my favorite food.  I could eat pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner and never get sick of it.  I do try to watch what I eat, however, so I don’t indulge in pizza nearly as much as I would like.  But every once and awhile, we go to our local pizza shop.  We usually eat there and when we do, I feel bad that the pugs aren’t there to get a piece of the crust.  So, I save them each one piece of crust and give it to them when we get back home.

Needless to say, Benjamin, Henry and Luna, love it when I come home with pizza crust!  When I give them their piece they all run off to the favorite spots and go to town.  Luna and Henry run to the shag rug and Benny runs to his favorite pillow.

It is so funny to watch Luna wrestle around with a piece of pizza crust.  She chews on it like a bone and she gets a good 5 minutes of entertainment out of it.

Henry does a good job of breaking his into bite size pieces and chewing everything up.

And Benny, well, he just inhales his.  That is why there is no picture of Benny eating his pizza crust.  (Note to self: take picture of Benny eating pizza crust first)
