Sol lets out a little toot almost every time you pick her up. It adds to her old lady charm.
Henry is highly offended by farts and even fart sounds. If you pass gas, he will walk off in a huff and glare at your from across the room. He will even leave if you are petting him. That's how offended he gets.
Benjamin is terrified of sewers. If he comes upon a sewer unexpectedly he will drop to his belly and scrape his nails. He knows where every single sewer is in our neighborhood and stays as far away as possible on each walk. He has been like this since the day we brought him home. In fact, he almost got hit by a car on our very first walk together. He saw a sewer & hit the ground and a car turned a corner and almost hit us both. At first I had no idea why he hit the ground & was trembling in fear, but after a few days I figured out he was afraid of all the sewers in the neighborhood. After he made a mental map of all the drain locations he did a lot better on walks.
Luna eats dried worms. Or at least she tries to when we are not looking.
Well, there you have it. A few pug secrets exposed.
Sol has mastered the sit command, so we have started teaching her "leave it" because that is a completely foreign concept to her. We have completed a few training sessions so far and they have gone really well.
We cover the treat with our hand, to indicate "leave it" and then we tap twice next to the treat to let her know when it is OK to "take it".
Here is a little video of a training session. There are a few sits in there as well.
This picture for this week's Caption This is from the archives of my photo library. The photo was originally taken in June 2003 when Benjamin was a little over a year old. At the time, we were still living in MD, but we were in FL on vacation.
Weekends when I find time to take a nap are few and far between, but there is nothing I like better than a nap. And the best part is the pugs are always up for nice, long nap.
