3 Tired Pugs

We made the trek to Ikea this weekend in search for a new entertainment center.  We found something we liked so needless to say we had a lot of assembly to do.  We worked into the wee hours of the morning and all our hard work really tired out the pugs.  We did keep them up way past their bedtime, but at least we were considerate enough to make a comfy spot for them to nap.

A favorite part of my day

A favorite part of my day, next to bedtime, is unwinding in the yard with the pugs for a few minutes after work.  I wish I was able to set those 10-15 minutes aside everyday, but sometimes dinner, errands, the gym and life just don’t make it possible.  But, I am happy that I at least take the time a couple days of week and I think it helps me enjoy it so much more.

We don’t do much while we are out in the yard and that is what makes it great.  I get my daily dose of vitamin D, pet the pugs, watch the birds and just relax.  Some days I snap some pictures, some days I brush the pugs,  but others I just sit on the bench surrounded by Benny, Henry & Luna and do my best to take in the moment and think about nothing.

A big thanks to Carla

Thanks to Carla we can now say that the generous readers of Owned by Pugs raised $500 for Compassionate Pug Rescue in the OBP Raffle!  We hit $498 selling tickets and when Carla saw that she donated an extra $2.00 so we had a nice round number.

Thanks again everyone!

Special Delivery

I ordered a little dress for Luna from Pug Possessed’s Etsy shop.  It came in the mail earlier this week and as soon as I got back from the mailbox, I told Luna that there was a special delivery just for her.  Of course, the boys were interested too!

Luna was a bit confused at first and thought her gift was a pillow.  But after we got it opened she was a bit more excited.  Pug Possessed’s Shop has a lot of different dress choices but as soon as I saw this little striped number I knew it was perfect for my sassy little girl!  It fits perfectly too because it was created for her exact measurements.  After I ordered it, Debbie whipped up a new dress using the same fabric using Luna’s measurements.  How nice was that?

It must have been opposite day

Whenever I am in the kitchen, the pugs keep a very close eye on me.  After all, the kitchen is where we like to keep that chilly thing with doors that seems to have a never ending supply of turkey.

It just so happened that on this night the pugs aligned and they watched over my every move in formation.  What is amusing, though, is they are in reverse order.  Usually, Henry is the one playing it cool laying on the pillow and Benny is leading the charge up front.

Deep Thoughts

Benny was perched up on the arm of the sofa the other day and he looked to be deep in thought.  Perhaps he was thinking about the best way to get the yummy peanut butter center out of the rawhide bone.  Or maybe he was thinking about how to outsmart his brother and actually catch him while playing chase.  In any case, his concentration was quickly broken as something in front of the house caught his eye.
