This blurry photo is of little Luna 2 seconds after we feed her. Once we put Luna’s food down she dives right in. And when she dives in, she inevitably spills bits and pieces of her meal all over here placemat. She doesn’t let this slow her down, though. She continues to scarf down what is in her bowl and then she circles around her bowl gobbling up any pieces that were flung onto the floor.
Luna’s messy eating habits drive Benjamin crazy! You may not know this, but, Benjamin is food obsessed. So to have stray pieces of food flying around while he is trying to eat is a huge distraction for Benny. Before Luna came along, Benjamin & Henry had a pact. If the food was in their bowl, the other would not touch it. However, if a scrap were to fall on the floor, it was every pug for himself and may the fastest pug win. So when Luna slings her food all over the floor, Benjamin feels as though that food is now fair game. So, he of course, leaves his bowl, knowing that no one will dare touch it, and tries to eat all of Luna’s scraps. If this was just a piece here or there it would not be a problem. But Luna routinely dumps half of here dinner onto the floor every night. So we have to fuss at Benny for scooping up all of Luna’s kibble or Luna would miss out on half her dinner every night. Whenever we fuss at him, Benjamin gives us a confused look like, “What? Its on the floor! It’s fair game!”
We have also tried to get Luna to slow down and take her time when she eats, but we haven’t had much luck. I guess we are going to have to try bigger dog bowls. Although, the dog bowls are just a formality to her. I think she would prefer it if we just dumped her food on the floor. It is pretty much what she does at every meal.

If you ask the simple question, “Do you want to go?” in our house, you will find that you get quite a response. The other night, we had to run to the Post Office and we thought we would grab some Ritter’s on the way home. It was a nice night out so we thought we would ask Benjamin, Henry & Luna if they wanted to join us. Here was there response…
A quick word of caution to those who may be reading this in a quiet office or some other peaceful location. This video contains crazy pug barking, so make sure you have your sound properly adjusted before playing it.

If you are wondering where that shrill, high pitched squeal is coming from - that is the infamous Baby Benny. I wouldn’t say he barks, he more or less shrieks. The other barking is coming from Henry and while Luna is excitedly running around, she never barks in the video. Instead, she leaves all that to her brothers! Who would have thought that two little pugs could make so much noise!

One of our favorite places to take the boys and Luna for a walk is a nearby place called the City Center. The City Center is basically a big circle with a lake in the middle, complete with fountains, and a wide, paved walking path. One lap around the lake is a half a mile, so walking the whole path at least once is very reasonable.
Benjamin, Henry & Luna love to go to the City Center. It is a popular walking spot, so not only do they get to get out and run around, but they also get to meet other dogs and people, which they love to do. It is hard to tell from the photo above, because the sun is quickly setting, but the City Center also has a lot of wildlife. There are plenty of different types of birds, ducks and turtles.

What do you mean it is time to make the bed?

Luna still gets a tad excited when chow time rolls around. As soon as her bowl hits the floor, she dives right in and every night, after her bowl has been licked clean, she comes running up to you, wagging her tail, with a face like this. Who could resist?

Christmas day was too much for Benjamin to handle and by the end of the festivities, he was ready to settle down and take a nap. Here he just gotten his infamous puffy, gives the look to all to tell them not to bother him and then he scratches on the sofa to get comfy cozy and take a nice long nap. Bah humbug pug. Benny is a little bit of crank when he doesn’t get his nap. Maybe in the new year he will resolve not to be such a fussbudget if he doesn’t get enough sleep. Happy new year.

We just wanted to share some other photos from Christmas morning of the boys & Luna with their new goodies. Stay tuned for when Benjamin really got serious and was ready to settle….
