Just Benny

This is just classic Baby Benny.  He plays hard and relaxes like no other.  There is no in between with him.  He is either on the go or he is passed out.  It’s just what makes him Benny!

And, Happy Birthday, G-Pa!

Rollie Pollie Pug

Luna is a hoot when she catches a smell of something that she would like to claim as her own.  She almost always paws at the spot and then flips herself on her back so she can rub her neck all over it.  She’ll do this on the grass, the sidewalk and as you will see in the video the rocks in the garden.  She especially loves to roll all over dried worms on the sidewalk.  I’m not exactly sure what that is all about.

I have been trying to get a video of Luna rolling all around for some time now.  This clip is short, she usually spends a lot more time wiggling around, but it gives you an idea of how she just flips herself to the ground.

QP & Henry

There was a little kitty named QP
Who sat on a bench with Sir Doody
They each took an end
Didn’t seem like close friends
But wished to smell each other’s booty

Flashback

This week’s flashback: Pugs Bunny

I’d like to take you back to June 2005 for this post.  This was before we adopted Luna and when our good friend Lou will still around.  I sure to miss that rascally rabbit.

Down

Henry is more than happy to show how Fay knocked over our very top heavy Bougainvillea.  So far, other than that, a few million pine needles everywhere and having to drain the pool all is OK.

Have a great weekend everyone!  For those who like to check in on the weekends and miss not having anything new, I have decided to start posting something from the archives on Saturdays.  I figured after almost 4 years of blogging I have plenty of posts and I can re-share some of the older ones.  I would post something new, but I am afraid I would run out of things to talk about going to 6 days a week.

New Pet Storage

Well, it has been 2 weeks now since Grampy gave us his “hand me down” television. It is a doozie of TV. It is so big actually that we had to buy a whole new entertainment center for it.  A few weekends ago we went furniture shopping to find something to go in the living room. We hunted all over when we finally landed at IKEA.  At IKEA we settled for the “million piece, you assemble at home if you can follow the pictures” model.  Between moving the old entertainment center and filling the new one, it took a full 2 weeks to get the living room back in order.

One of the reason we liked this entertainment center so much was that it had a lot of storage.  You can see that the cat thought that it was a new bed and play house built just for her. She is always anxious to lend a helping paw.

Now that it all assembled you can see what those drawers are actually used for.

The treats actually are kept in the kitchen.

Yes, almost the whole entertainment center is used for doggy accoutrement. There is a drawer for collars & harnesses, another for leashes and 2 for costumes. Yet another drawer is dedicated to ear cleaner, eye drops, a nail grinder and teeth cleaning products. Goodness gracious, I think the pugs have officially taken over! You would think that Paris Hilton herself lived here and needed the extra “closet space”. On the bright side, everything is now in one central location instead of scattered all over the house in crevices of storage here & there.

You may also notice that we stuck to the pug colored décor. This is always beneficial to limit the showing of dog hair!

As far as the pugs’ opinions, well, they don’t even seem to notice. Benny is a little overwhelmed watching TV with us more so than before. He gets particularly anxious and barky when we watch Greatest American Dog and It’s Me or the Dog. Those now life size pups are a real “threat” to his home.  He also isn’t too fond of the Nasonex Bee or the Geico caveman.  Those commercials always get a few puffs from him.
