Tiny Swimmer

Not only is Luna a strong swimmer, she is also a very good life guard. Whenever, the pool is in use, you are sure to find Luna patrolling around the deck. She keeps a close eye on everyone and is ready to sound the alarm if she thinks anything is amiss. And she does sound the alarm quite frequently. Like whenever anyone splashes or goes underwater.

Have a good weekend!

Extra Credit

After we wrapped up Swim Camp this weekend, Henry decided that he wanted to take one more lap. At this point, we had taken the pugs out of their life jackets to keep them cool. (No sense wearing the jackets on land). So, when Henry jumped into the pool, he was in for quite a surprise. Swimming sure is a lot harder without his vest. He made it to the step as he usually does, but he pace was much slower and he had to work a lot harder for it.

Bonus Laps

After Benny finishes a lap in the pool, he always hops out out and does a few extra land laps around the table. While it is usually very hot out, the pool cools him off enough to let him run wild. See Benny, the pool is good for something.

Swim Camp is Underway

I haven't talked about Swim Camp much this year, but Swim Camp is well underway. The pugs have been getting some pool time in pretty much every weekend. Because of the heat, our walks have been short, hot and to the point.

This year's swim camp is highly specialized for each pug. Henry plays his normal game of fetch, which pretty much gets him a full lap in. Between laps, he hops out of the pool and takes a little break. Then he comes back to the pool step when he is ready to do another lap.

Benny, hates to swim in the middle of the pool. He likes to stay near the edge of the pool. So, Benny, swims around the edge of the pool with a human in tow.

Luna likes to be near people in the pool, so she swims from person to person. When she reaches a person, they scoop her up and hold her for a bit until she is ready to swim again. Then she heads on over to the next person.

Frugal

Luna loves to chew. You can usually find her chewing while we make dinner and sometimes during dinner depending on what we are having. She usually takes a little break after we wrap up dinner and then resumes chewing just before we go to bed.

If Henry or Benny chewed as much as Luna does, we would have to stock up on bones a lot more often. But, Luna can chew for hours on end and she barely puts a dent in a bone. She can chew a bone all night and you would never know that she spent hours working on it.

When the boys chew, we frequently take pieces away because they are choking hazards. However, we can give those pieces to Luna and she can chew them for days.

For a little girl that never really gets much out of a bone she sure does love to chew.

Have a great weekend!

Field Trip

Henry got to take a field trip to Grammy's the other night. While he sees Grammy almost every day when she "pug sits", he loves going to see Grammy at Grammy's house. Not only does he get extra lovings, but he also gets extra special treats!
