Weekends are great because we get plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Even though it is super hot here in FL, we have been able to get in lots of pool time. Plus, we have been able to sneak in lots of evening walks with the pugs which have been fantastic.

On good weekends, weekends where my butt gets reacquainted with the couch, the pugs get a new bone and we watch whatever the good folks at Netflix sent us. This weekend it was knucklebones and the classic The Sting.

The pugs did a great job with the fireworks last night. There were pops & booms go off all over the place and they just ignored them all. I think they even enjoyed the fireworks on TV 
I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!

No matter how hard I try to be a morning person, there is nothing better than catching a few extra hours of sleep on the weekends. Lucky for me the pugs feel the same way.

I love working in the garden on the weekends. The pugs are pretty good helpers. Benny is good at making sure everything "gets watered", Henry chomps on the grass, Luna makes a great pug garden statue and Sol is great at pointing out all the shady spots in the yard.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads and pug dads out there!

Well, it has finally happened - I have run out of outfits for Fashion Forward posts. All in all there were 39 Fashion Forward posts.
So, I am going to start a new theme for Sundays called Weekend Warriors. Each week, I am going to post a picture of something we enjoy doing with the pugs in our downtime. I have no idea how long this series will last, I'm just going to go with it and see how it does. As always, I'd love to get your feedback.
And now for the first Weekend Warrior post. Playing fetch with Henry in the pool.

This weekend was one of those times when I need a few more days off to rest up from all the work from the weekend. We were up on the early side every day of this long, holiday weekend and it seems like we didn’t sit down until it was time to go to bed.
Our main project this weekend was sprucing up the yard. Our first goal was to do something with the small area between the pool and the air conditioner outside and the picture above is what we came up with. Before, it was just an area where the grass struggled to grow. So we laid down the stepping stones and added some plants that help to block the view of the air condition from the lanai. All in all it turned out very well even it if did take all afternoon on Friday.
On Saturday, we put the finishing touches on some pots we were painting for the yard. We ran errands in between coats while we were waiting for the paint to dry.
On Sunday, we planted flowers into the pots that we painted. We have them set throughout the garden and after we planted the flowers we had to have the pugs pose with them, of course.



We also got a pot to put by the front door to keep Buddha company.

Much to the neighbors amusement we have a little concrete fire hydrant in the front yard for the pugs and all the small dogs in the neighborhood to use. We gave it a good power washing and painted it to match the pots.

How was your weekend?
