The main ingredient in the homemade dog food that we make for the pugs is ground turkey (99% fat free ground turkey). The extra lean turkey can get pretty pricey and when you purchase 10-12 packs at a time, it can really run up the grocery bill.
A few weekends ago we stopped by a new meat market that came highly recommended by some friends. The meat in the display cases looked fantastic, but our eyes lit up when we say the extra lean ground turkey they had on hand and the price. We inquired about getting about 15 lbs of the turkey at a time and were even happier when they could give us a bulk quantity discount.
Buying 15 lbs of ground turkey at one time had everyone's curiosity in the shop peaked as to what we do with all that turkey. The looks on their faces when we told them we make dog food with it was priceless.

Luna was feeling a little bad about telling everyone that Henry is her favorite brother last week. So she took a little time to smooth things over with Benny this weekend. She let him know that if no lap is available and Henry happens to be busy, she would be more than happen to hang out with him. Benny responded by giving himself a big scratch. And Luna promptly let him know that this is why she never sits with him. He is way too fidgety!

Have you ever noticed that if I post a shot of Luna hanging out with one of brothers, it is always Henry?
Don't get me wrong. Luna likes Benny, but she simply adores Henry. If a human lap is not available, she will always seek out Henry and lay next to him. If a lap is available, she will totally ditch him.

Believe it or not, Cupid thinks she is helping. But she is definitely not helping. Not only can I not see the picture of the puzzle on the box, but Cupid also thinks that she is little enough to lay down and take a nap in the box. It is a square box and it is barely big enough for her to sit in. So after she tries to lay in it, she has busted all the sides out of the box. Add in the fact, that the pieces stick to her paws when she walks all over my work and I'm not sure if I will ever get this puzzle done. But, doing a puzzle without her "help" just wouldn't be the same.

Its hard to tell in this picture, but Benjamin has experienced a sweatband fur growth setback. Last week, he went in for a teeth cleaning and they had to re-shave one of his sweatbands.
His teeth cleaning was long overdue. He was originally scheduled for a cleaning in February (during dental month so we could get the discount ), but Benny was dealing with his back issues and just went on prednisone so we decided to postpone the cleaning until a later date.
It is funny how different pug mouths can be. It seems that Benny needs to have his teeth cleaned every year. Henry on the other hand, hasn't had his teeth cleaned in years (knock wood) and his pearly whites are doing great. I guess it just really depends on how all those teeth are arranged in those little pug mouths.
Luna has never had great teeth and has had to have many of them pulled over the years. With Luna's past it is hard to get a good idea of exactly where her teeth woes stem from. Benjamin and Henry have been in our care since they were 11 and 12 weeks old and have had a similar diet and chewing habits their whole life. So it is very funny to see how differently their teeth have fared over the years.
