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….

On Christmas, we would put down a few presents on the floor and allow the dogs to tear into them. Well, we thought the first they would go for would be the peanut butter rawhide candy cane or the bully sticks but the first thing the boys went for was the package of ping pong balls that we got in an attempt to teach the boys and Luna to fetch. In the past, the only interest any of them has displayed in fetching has been with ping pong balls but they always seem to crunch it up too much to get much play out of them. So we decided to give them a 12 pack for Christmas. Low & behold, that is what Benjamin went for first and then Henry was soon to follow. Here the boys are taking turns opening the package.

Later in the day when they became more interested in too many other things, like Benjamin opening Cupid’s treats, we decided to give them a butcher bone that Santa had left in their stocking.

Christmas was a great day for people & pugs alike.

Well, Santa made a stop by our home this week. He came and spoiled all the critters here. The Boys and Cupid have a couple of Christmas day experiences under their belt, but this is Luna’s first Christmas in her forever home. She was quite overwhelmed to say the least. At first she just pranced around waiting for “something” to happen. She would go from lap to lap and room to room in her girly curiosity to try to find out what all the excitement was about.
As we all took turns opening gifts, many of which were for the dogs, we finally stumbled upon Luna’s favorite toy of Christmas day. It was brought from Maryland by G’Ma and G’Pa (Luna’s Northern grandparents). It was a Christmas tree ornament dog toy with little nubbies that are just the right size for Luna’s petite mouth. She nibbled on it and tossed it in the air. As it made noises she would back off and then she would pounce on it again chewing the little nubs.


Oddly, after she tired from all the commotion, she settled on a small plastic trash bag that we were using for used wrapping paper and she promptly napped for a while after that. She’s an unusual one that little Luna.

Stay posted for more Christmas blogging about the rest of the clan. We hope you and your family had a safe and happy holiday.
