Ultimate Pillow Pile

Henry

The living room is now overrun with pillows. During the day, the couch is piled high with pillows that the pugs use in the afternoon when they nap and gaze out the front door. But, after dinner, two humans actually like to sit on the couch and unwinding on top of three pillows stacked on the couch isn't all that comfortable. Trust me, I've tried it.

So, before we settled down last night, I took some of the pillows that were on the sofa and just tossed them on the clamshell chair. Within a few minutes, Henry was leaping up to make himself comfortable on the enormous pile.

At first, I almost took one of the pillows down because the stack of 4 put Henry over the edge of the chair on the one side. It was late, I was tired and Henry is clumsy. I was certainly not up for a trip to the emergency vet and having to explain that Henry injured himself falling off a big pile of pillows. But, Henry seemed to have the situation under control, so I let him reign supreme on the ultimate pillow pile.

What are you worried about Mom? I’ve got the situation under control. What is it about Pugs and pillows?

I love pugs!! Henry you really are king of the world. Love the look on his face in the second pic. He looks a little worried.

Pug Hugs from Gina & Pip!

Prince Henry and his pillows!! King of the pillow pile! Too cute for words, and pugs will put a smile on anyone! Can’t stay grumpy when these cuties are around!!

If Henry is worried - it’s probably only that he’ll be de-throned from his ruling pile of pillows. I’m amazed that he’s able to clamber on top of them all without toppling them over. My little Bella with her short legs would not be able to make it.

And what IS it about pugs and pillows anyway? Bella loves smushing her face into them and then knocking them off the couch, chair or bed. Guess they’re all just real softies at heart. (ouch)

Henry you have conquered OBP Pillow Mountain! No doubt that must have taken years of relentless training. I think National Geographic needs to do a cover story You’d be the cutest cover ever for sure! Great pictures!

Henry does look like king of the pillow mountain its amazing how he made it to the top without knocking pillows over my gang love to sleep on pillows also I am with you Corrine I would be afraid he might fall but it looks like Henry has mastered it very well
Jasper is doing so much better he goes back to the vets next wednesday for recheck and to have stitches out he had a lump on his rear leg and while they did the gum surgery they removed the lump he even started to play some with Baxter yesterday was one very happy mommy to see that

Sue, so glad to hear that Jasper is doing better, and yay for you too. I know you are feeling better as well.

Henry, you look adorable on your big stack of pillows! Pugs just love pillows but I’ve never seen something like this before. Henry is proving he’s a big, tough boy on his pillow stack.

I love the wary expression on Henry’s face. He’s well aware that your concerns for his safety could interfere with his comfort!

Hurricane Earl…. Supposedly it will reach my area on saturday… we do not usually get hurricanses… they swerve out to sea and we get some wind & rain. 5 years ago Hurricane Juan hit our capital city which is 3 hours away from me. I hope this one passes us by as well..

Sue VDB

Pat, I hope it swerves out to sea as well. Last night my weatherman said he thought it would not actually hit the coast but would swerve out. I hope he is right.

And I’m sure Prince Henry did in fact feel the pea that the queen placed at the bottom of the pillow pile proving once and for all that Henry is a true prince!

And I love his look - as if it’s no big deal for him to be in that position; very relaxed and unamused.

Huckle

Isn’t that adorable! Maybe he’s wondering how he will get down - like a cat who climbs a tree and then can’t figure out how to get down. Here’s a smooooooch, Henry for the top of that precious head.

Ha! That looks exactly like something my pug, Sammy, would do. She can’t sit anywhere without a blanket or an extra pillow there. Event the bed isn’t soft enough!

sue

Sue VDB

Huckle

My pug LOVES sitting on a pillow! He would be in heaven if I piled up that many pillows. We call him “King of the Pillies”.
