Solsey Playing
The pugs all got baths yesterday and after their time in the tub each one of the pugs was pretty fired up. For once, I managed to get a video of Sol playing. I simultaneously shot the video and played with Sol so the camea is a little all over the place. The game - catch the camera. You'll see she came close a few times.
I just adore that little girl!

The Anatomy of the Catch
I have been trying for awhile to get a few shots of the pugs catching treats that are tossed to them. To make it possible we had to change from Cheerios to a larger treat that would show up a bit better in mid air. So we opted for blueberry flavored dog biscuits. Something a bit bigger would have worked even better, but if you look close you can see the treats flying through the air.
The pictures of the treats the boys caught were OK, but the interesting shots were their near misses. First up is Benjamin taking one on the chin.
The toss is up. Benjamin is intently focused on the treat which is the light brown spot highlighted by the green tree background and just above the white bar.
But something went awry. Did Luna's wiggling tail cause Benny to take his eye of the treat? It doesn't much matter, the treat bounces of Benny's chin. You can see the treat as it falls to the ground.
The treat takes a couple of bounces and ends up between Luna's hind legs. Watch out little girl you are about to be up ended.
Next up is Henry and his miss was quite amusing.
The toss is good and it looks like Henry is in a good position to make the catch.
But wait, what happened! The treat bounces out of Henry's mouth at the last minute and you can see it falling to the ground.
Nooooo! Come here tasty treat!
And then the worst possible thing that could happen happens. The treat rolls into the pool. Not knowing what to do the pugs start pacing around the edge of the pool devastated that their treat has met a soggy demise.

Off to the Races
This was a game we frequently played when Benjamin & Henry were puppies. The whole purpose of the game was to trick Benjamin & Henry into practicing their Sit, Stay & Come commands, but to do it in a fun way that allowed them to work off their puppy energy.
First the sit & stay while I move away.
Then the come command.
Looks like Benny was a little bit quicker out of the gates.
Almost up to full speed.
Still truckin'.
About halfway there and Benny has taken the lead.
Benny coming into the home stretch, completely blocking Henry from the frame.
Benny finishing strong. You can see his wrinkly skin flapping in the wind and his eyes are fixed on the prize - the treat.

Pugkin Bread Pupcakes
Ann was gracious enough to bake a whole bag of pugkin bread pupcakes for the pugs (Ann's recipe). The pugs just loved that the pupcakes were their very own serving!
If you are wondering why Sol's napkin is further back than Benjamin, Henry & Luna's that's because two seconds earlier she pulled this stunt.

The Slide
We walked to a playground at a nearby school the other day and the boys were in rare form. Here are some photos of the boys hitting the slide.
And this is what happens when Henry is laying in wait at the bottom of the slide.

Beach Bums
On Sunday, we decided to make the most of an overcast day and we took the pugs to the beach. We haven’t been to the beach since we adopted Sol, so I thought it would be fun to see what she thought of the sand and the salty air. The whole trip could have bee a disaster (more to come on that), but we pulled it together and had a really good time. The boys and Luna had fun as always and Sol really seemed to be having a good time as well.
Here are a few pics from the day.

Laps
Here is a nice little video of Benjamin running around the living room. A couple things to note, in the beginning you will see Sol just watching Benny acting all crazed. Look closely and you will also see the other old lady of the house, Cupid, watching and laughing at Benny. And at the end you will see Henry chewing on the cat sack / cat bed that Sol likes so much. One more thing, you might need to take some dramamine because I am all over the place in this video trying to keep at least one pug in the frame. Sound is also recommended so you can hear Benny jingling about and panting.

Run puggies, run
I have been on a quest to get a good video of the pugs playing to share with you and until now, I haven’t really been able to capture anything good. Most of the times when the pugs are playing I don’t have the Flip handy and by the time I go get it I end up with 3 pugs just staring up at me.
But, the other night I was able to get a little video of the pugs playing around the pool. Benjamin & Henry love to chase each other around the pool. Luna, as you will notice in the video, isn’t too fond of circling the pool. Since she doesn’t see too well, she tends to hang back while the boys are chasing each other near the gigantic puddle in the yard. You will see her in the video a bit, and I would like to point out, that she is running no where near as fast as she can. She takes it easy on the boys 
My favorite part of the video comes at about 1:32 when Benny turns into a mad man and circles the bench.
Hopefully, there will be more playing videos to come. I will try to get one of little Luna outrunning her big brothers.
