Free Ride

We try very hard to make sure the pugs get in one very good walk per day.  They are always out and about during the day, walking to the mailbox or just taking a quick trip to the corner and back, but in the evenings we like to take them on a nice, long walk that is about a mile or longer.  When we first got Sol I wasn’t sure how well she would do with our walking schedule.  Don’t get me wrong, she loves to get out for a walk, but she by no means has the endurance of Benjamin, Henry & Luna.  We didn’t want to start a routine where we walked her separately.  She wasn’t too fond of being left at home while the three fawns went out for a stroll and that idea didn’t sit well with us either.  Then we remembered a pouch that we had bought many years ago when the boys were puppies.  Our solution was to let Sol walk as long as she wanted and then when she tired we would put her in the pouch for the rest of the walk.  That way she gets in her walk and still gets to be with the pack and the boys and Luna still get their power walk.

It has turned out to be the perfect solution because Sol loves the pouch.  She just sits in there with her little paws hanging over the edge taking in all the sites and smells.  The good part is that Sol is up to about a half mile walk a day.  If the weather is just right she will walk the full mile, but she by no means does this every day.  A half mile seems to fit her well and she is very content trotting along behind the three fawns.  As soon as we see her start to tire we plop her in her pouch and continue on our walk.  Relieved to be done with walking, Sol relaxes and smells and snorts the rest of the way home.

Fashion Forward

Another shirt from the set that G-Ma sent Luna.  I found this shirt to be particularly funny for Luna.

Flashback

This week’s flashback: A trip to the dog park

That was a really fun trip.  No big, fun plans like that for this weekend.  I’m just hoping to catch up on my sleep.  Luckily, I have four very good napping buddies.

Vicious

The other night we took the pugs to the City Center for a nice stroll around the lake.  On our way out of the house, we made our way through the laundry room and I opened the door leading to the garage.  When I opened the door, I realized that the big garage door was up.  The pugs weren’t leashed because we were headed right to the car and I didn’t think the garage door was open.  I didn’t think much of it, though.  The pugs were so excited to be going for a car ride that they were just running big circles around the car and out into the driveway waiting for me to get them buckled in.  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man walking down the street.  I saw him and so did the pugs.  I didn’t make a big deal out of it because I knew the pugs were so happy to be going in the car that they wouldn’t care about greeting the man walking down the street.  Sol, however, felt obligated to give him the what’s what.  She trotted over to the edge of the driveway, stood tall and let out three woofs for good measure.  The man turned and smiled and Sol stood her ground until he was past the house.  Then she turned, proud of herself, and ran to the car.

So if you are walking by the house, and Sol happens to be awake, you’ve been warned.

On Your Feet

“You weren’t sitting here were you?”

Good thing I don’t subscribe to the same theory as Benjamin & Luna.  I don’t think you could handle me sitting on you, could you Hank?

The Cherry on Top

It would appear that Luna has taken a page out of Benny’s book and has started laying right on top of Henry.  The bright spot for Henry?  Luna is about 8 pounds lighter than Benny.
