Where’s the Beef?

Luna

So, not only have we been indulging in retail therapy, the pugs have also been using food as a coping mechanism. (Like pugs don't turn to food for every emotion! LOL)

But we were actually getting a bit worried because Henry was not as interested in eating since Benny's passing. Luna, however, was the opposite. She was all, "Feed the pain! Feed the pain!" Her chant of barks in a succession of 2 3-bark episodes literally sounded like that is what she was saying. After the barks, she would then scurry to the kitchen for more nom noms.

A trip to the local burger shop was one of the car rides and pain pacifiers on tap. We buckled and got Luna & Henry a burger to share. Luna decided this was better than the Big Mac she once craved. She recognized that straight meat is better than any old special sauce, lettuce, pickles, blah blah. Just give her the meat! (*Hmm. Don't say that out loud around a teen aged boy! He would likely get the wrong impression about what type of website this IS! hahahahaha!)

Henry

The beef also got Henry back on the eating bandwagon. Hooray for the pugs. They found the beef and are back on track with a more regular eating schedule again. A little more for Henry, a little less for Looney. smile

Poor guys.  There is a hole in my heart for Benny and I am just a follower…I cannot begin to imagine how all of you are coping.  I am sure it is day to day.  We all love you and hope that you are healing.

I miss baby Benny so much too!

I think shopping and foodie treats are perfect!

Don’t you guys need some fries to go with that yummy burger?! wink

BONE appetite lovies!  In my heart and prayers for soothing your broken hearts xoxo and snorts!

I’m with Luna, feed the pain! What great parents you are! Giving them special treats to help them cope. I think it might be helping you all or ya’ll too. smile Praying you can still feel our prayers!

A local burger place!  The perfect destination for a field trip!  Looks like a good one, too!

I wonder if unbeknownst to you, Benjamin and Henry engaged in a little bit of “competitive eating”.  Both of my sons have dogs, and when Bennie is with either one of them, he eats fast and furious.  And when it’s just him he eats leisurely.

Their stares are saying, “be one with the beef, become the beef”.  I’m glad that at least the eating ritual/schedule is getting back to usual, at least a little bit.  Have a safe 4th!

One must do what one must do!  I think it is great how you are all coping.  Such a loss is devastating and Henry and Luna probably have no idea what really happened, other than there is a huge hole in there routine and Ben is not there to share it with them.

Henry looks so intense staring at the burger almost willing it to his mouth I am glad they are doing betterand Henry is eating better when I lost Jasper one of my boxers April 29 Baxter my other boxer was very depressed just curled up in a ball on the couch so to try to cheer him up I let him go to the groomers which he loves it did help I think

I was thinking the same thing-  where’s the fries?  grin

I’m glad you all are doing a little bit better and the puppers are getting back into their eating routines. When I lost my pug Angel two years ago, I didn’t know how I was going to cope. I just took each day as it came.  I still miss her a lot and will until the day I see her again. Now I’m remembering more of the happy memories I have of her, than the sad ones of her being sick and when she passed.

Thinking of you all,  Patty

I hate hate hate how we can’t explain to our Puggers what happens to their passing siblings. That’s one of the hardest things for me to cope with.

Prayers, love, and burgers gang!
