Hello Friends
We don't mean to make everyone worry about no story yesterday. And today's blurb is late, too. There is a perfectly good reason for this, though. G'Ma and G'Pa are here. So, this makes getting OBP updates a bit of a challenge. We didn't have time to blog ahead of schedule, so now, we are falling behind. We are sorry for the delay.
Henry is doing well, though. At least as good as expected. He works best on a strict routine and schedule but that won't be happening until after the new year. So, we are at least trying to keep the chaos to a minimum.
So, not sure what the holiday schedule will be, but don't fret if you notice we have missed a day (or 3 or 5...). We will do our best to resume to our every day pattern in 2015. In the mean time, we hope that everyone is enjoying their family and friends and the holiday season. And if you know someone who goes into the holiday season with the blues, give them some extra love and attention. The holiday season isn't merry and bright for everyone. We hope you all find joy and peace of mind this season, though.

Henry and I were working in the office and when I glanced over this is how he was sleeping. I think he was doing his best Super Pug impersonation. Now, if he wrapped those presents in the boxes behind him, he would indeed be Super Pug!

Henry does not see very well. His vision during the day is one thing, but he really struggles at night. The biggest problem we have right now is that by the time we get home from work, it is pretty much already dark. Which makes his evening walks super challenging.
However, I think we have found a temporary solution. One of our favorite local parks always lights the trees that line the sidewalks. The decorative lights give off just enough light to help Henry be able to navigate things better. So the last few nights we have been driving to the park, then taking a small walk by the light of the Christmas lights. The best part is that this also gets Henry a little car ride!
When the holidays are over, we might also have a backup plan for lighting Henry's evening walks. We noticed that the field lights on the soccer fields light up not only the field, but a large portion of the sidewalk. So, I think we might become the biggest rec league fans and be at the fields to take Henry for a walk at every game.

Last weekend, Henry even wanted to get out and get some of his holiday shopping done. We made a trip to Petsmart so that he could pick out something nice for Cupid. After careful consideration, he decided to get Cupid a pack of mice (the kind that Benny loved to eat), some cat grass (something else that Benny liked to eat) and a few cans of special cat food (something that Henry himself would like to eat). Pretty thoughtful gifts if you ask me!

Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

Christmas is really sneaking up on us this year. Luckily, Henry was feeling better this weekend and could supervise the tree trimming. For the most part, he kept us on track. Although, after a bit of work, he did insist on taking a snack break!

Cupid has always eaten at her own special spot in a little bar area in the kitchen. This has kept her food safe from the pugs and allows her to graze all day. However, as she has aged, getting up to her special little eating area has proven more challenging. We moved a chair over to assist her, but recently that has become too much for her. So, we bought her a small table and gave her a new setup in the kitchen. We even got her a step stool to assist in getting on the table.
And wouldn't you know that Cupid's new table is getting quite a bit of attention for hungry Henry. At first he would just stand next to the table and smell. But, now he is getting a tad braver and is using the step stool to get a better view. How long do you think it will be until he uses the step stool to get on the table and help himself to some kitty food?
