G-Ma and G-Pa are coming to town, so that means that the pugs are going to go from spoiled to super spoiled this week.
I hope everyone has a safe and festive holiday season! Everyone here at the Pug Blog, including Benjamin, Henry and Luna, wish you good cheer this holiday season.
To help celebrate, here are a few of our old holiday photos from before we even had Luna. Its hard to believe there was a time that little Luna wasn’t part of the pack. In any case, these photos of Benny and Henry always make me smile. Benjamin is in his Santa outfit and Henry is dressed as a reindeer and he is not one bit amused by his outfit.

To say that Benjamin, Henry and Luna are creatures of habit would be an understatement. They have their daily routines and each of them has their little idiosyncrasies. One of their favorite things to do is to sun themselves in the afternoon. Since the weather has been nice, I have been able to leave the door in my office open that leads to the pool area. The pugs love to lay just outside my office door and catch some rays. But with the sun setting earlier now, the house quickly casts a shadow over them. Without fail, they all inch their way back into the sun, moving farther away from the house. They lounge around for a few more minutes and sure enough they are in the shade again. So they just inch their way back to the sun.
It is quite amusing to watch. I’m not sure why they just don’t go lay at the other end of the pool deck. Then they won’t have to move so often. But for some reason, they like to lay as close to my office door as possible. And without fail, they follow the sun every afternoon. A day never goes by without these little ones making me laugh.

On Sunday, we took a break from the mall and all our holiday shopping and went to the beach with the pugs. Someone had built this cute little “sandman” and inevitably Benny had to pee on it.
Henry could not, of course, be out done by his brother so he got in on the action.
And Luna, who happens to be headless in this shot due to her mother’s photography skills, had to prove that anything her brothers could do she could do better!

For some reason, Henry has a complete aversion for the water bowl. Only if he is really desperate will Henry even consider taking a sip of the nice, fresh water in his water bowl. Instead, he prefers to quench his thirst by drinking from the pool. In the picture, you can see him leaning into the pool to get some water after playing in the yard. Henry would like you to believe that this is the only source of water around, but in reality there is a nice big bowl of water right behind him.
Personally, I don’t think that drinking pool water is a good idea. We do our best to stop him, but he inevitably always sneaks in a couple of sips.
After the pool, Henry’s other favorite watering holes are the gulpy, puddles and sprinklers.

Luna has a stuffed monkey that is as big as she is that she loves to shake and drag around the house. Instead of a squeaker the monkey has what we refer to as a “screecher” inside it. Occasionally, while tossing the monkey about, Luna will make the monkey screech. Luna hates it when she makes the monkey screech! She immediately stops playing with it and usually runs away. It’s funny, but sorta sad. It is like she feels like she hurt the monkey by playing too rough.
We actually have a little video of Luna playing with the monkey and then running away. Check it out. This is the first video on the Pug Blog so bear with us. We are definitely amateur videographers.

Here lies another fallen tug toy. This one lasted all of about 5 minutes. It seems a sturdy tug toy with rope that is not too thick for pug mouths, and lots of limbs for multiple pugs to grab on to is hard to find. The only tug toy that has lasted for more than one game is the all rope kind with two knots at each end. However, all of the pugs like to play tug at the same time so we need something with at least three ends, otherwise there is sure to be conflict.
Part of the reason, tug toys break so easily is because Benjamin is a fierce tug player. When playing tug Benjamin means business and he will drag Henry and Luna around the yard and shake the rope as hard as possible to try and have the other two let go. While Benjamin will play tug with Henry and Luna, he prefers a solo match with a human competitor. He pulls, shakes, growls and does everything in his power to win. And if he doesn’t win he has been known to be a little bit of sore loser. He just can’t stand it when he is not the top dog.
