Luna has this thing were she likes to stand on my chest when I am laying on my back. This is all well and good except that she places her front paws on my neck. There have been a few times that the little girl has left me gasping for air.
She did this the other day while I was laying on the sofa and of course my active imagination started running. I could just see that one day, Luna innocently comes to stand on me, overstays her welcome and ends up suffocating me. The coroner would no doubt determine my cause of death as suffocation and I’m sure the crack CSI’s would notice the odd ligature marks on my neck. That would then lead them to come back to the house to get paw impressions from the pugs and the cat. They would then use those paw impressions to determine that little Luna was the one that did the deed.
Ummm…do you think that I need to lay off the crime dramas for a little bit?

This is an old shot of Benjamin & Henry as puppies. One morning they decided to curl up and sleep in their toy bin. The next morning they decided to chew their toy bin! We frequently laugh at how we were complete rookies when we got Benjamin & Henry. I mean, come on, who gets puppies a nice wicker toy basket. We were lucky that basket lasted a week.
As always, I look forward to your captions in the comments

Just talked to the vet and Baby Benny’s teeth cleaning went well and he is coming out of the anesthesia now. I’m sure he is a whiny mess and is searching around for his puffy. I’ll be sure to bring it with me when we go to pick him up.
Surprisingly, they said they did not have to pull any teeth! I’ll get the update when we go to pick him up. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Baby Benny on the way to get his teeth cleaned. The drop off went smoothly. Although, Benjamin was concerned about skipping breakfast. He is a firm believer that you should never skip breakfast or any other meal for that matter.
Now we just wait to hear when he is all finished up with his teeth cleaning.

Benjamin is getting his teeth cleaned today. I know it is necessary, but I just hate days like today. I’ll be worried all morning until I get the call from the vet letting me know how things went. We can pick him up around 4 this evening and we will be bringing both his sisters, Luna & Cupid to get him. Both of the girls are due for their shots, so we have a 3:00 and 3:30 appointment for them to get their annual checkups and shots. If we are going to be there we might as well get as much done as possible.
When we pick Benny up he will be a whinny mess. He doesn’t come out of the anesthesia well at all. He just sits there and whines and whines. We always debate whether or not we should leave his puffy with him when we drop him off. I know he would like to have it with him, but if they were to misplace puffy I don’t know what he would do. So we normally leave it home to keep it safe.
I think Benny will also need to have one of his teeth pulled! We brush their teeth pretty regularly, but unbeknownest to us, Benjamin has a tooth that is pretty much growing out of the roof of his mouth (I’m exaggerating a bit. It isn’t growing out the roof of his mouth, but is is set in much further than the others). Until the other day, we never even knew it was there, so needless to say we have never brushed it. It doesn’t look like it is in good shape at all so I am sure they are going to have to pull it. I just can’t believe we never knew it was there!
In general, Benjamin’s teeth are pretty crazy. He definitely suffers from the problem of having too many teeth in such a small mouth. The arrangement of the teeth play a big role in how easy it is to keep them clean. Benjamin & Henry are the same age, they eat the same food, chew the same bones and get their teeth brushed at the same frequency and Benny’s teeth are so much worse than Henry’s. Bad enough to warrant a teeth cleaning. Henry’s pearly whites are in great shape.
In the meantime, I will be counting the hours until I will be able to bring my cranky old man back home!

For Christmas, the pugs each got a new collar and leash set. Most of the time, especially when we are out and about, the pugs wear their harnesses, but around the house, in the yard and on short potty breaks just right around the house we sometimes let them wear collars to change things up.
Santa brought Henry the Best Friends collar and leash. I really liked it because it is made of hemp and organic cotton which makes it super soft right from the beginning. Plus, the paw prints and the footprints side-by-side is just too cute.
Luna got one of my favorites, the Curly Q collar along with the matching leash. As soon as I saw this collar, I thought of little Luna. To me, it just fits her personality perfectly!
And Benny got the Geometric Squares collar and leash. Benjamin has such a light colored coat, I just knew this collar would pop on him. He has so many wrinkles and so many skin rolls around his neck that it is really easy for a collars to get lost on him.
Since the collars and leashes are not edible, these definitely weren’t the highlight of the pugs’s Christmas morning. But, overall, I think they like them. I do at least!
