Once upon a time, I used to leave the house to go to work. It was when the boys were puppies & to help them burn off some of their puppy energy we used to take them to doggie day care once a week. Unlike a lot of their classmates, once a week was all they needed. They came home pooped. Taking them more than once a week would have been more than they could handle.
It worked out good for us & the boys really seemed to like going to school to play. That is of course on days when Gus wasn't there. Gus, was a Dachshund that terrorized Henry. I got the impression that Gus gave a lot of dogs trouble, but Henry always seemed to be Gus's desired target. The phrase, "Gus, be good!" was frequently heard at the doggy day care center. To this day, if you utter those words, Henry will look around for the little terror.
So when I was scanning in photos of the boys in the snow, I came across a few pictures taken while they were at doggie day care by their "teacher". Gus, is the dog in the bottom right corner of the picture below. What I love about the picture is that Henry is glancing back to Benny saying, "I've had it with this hot dog! I'm going to pummel him, ya got my back?"
Here are a few other shots of the boys at doggie day care.

Sofa, sun, pillows. All that is missing is pugkin bread.

I think he is happy with himself because he beat Luna back to the bin after lunch.

To give you an idea of how cold it was during our recent cold snap, here is a shot of Cupid trying to keep herself warm under a blanket on the couch. Now, the odd part isn't that Cupid is snuggling under the blanket, but that she dares to share the couch with Benny. Benny, by far, is her least favorite pug and the fact that she would even consider laying so close to him shows exactly how cold it was here. I think the expression is something like "when hell freezes over". Well, hell may not have froze, but Florida sure did.

The normal Florida winter weather has returned and the boys have fallen right back into their usual routine. That makes for happy pugs.

Benjamin prides himself on being the only pug that can jump up & lay on the back of the sofa all by himself. The only other four legged creature in the the house that can do it is the cat & Benjamin loves to do whatever the cat is doing.
Since the sofa does not back to a wall, all the other pugs, or really I should say Henry, is afraid to jump onto the back of the sofa fearing he will overshoot and fall off the edge. I can't say that I blame him. Benjamin, however, can do this with ease and he revels in the fact that he will always have the highest lookout spot to himself.
Luna, knowing her limits with her poor vision, has never even thought about sitting on the back of the couch. And Sol, well lets just say jumping on anything is the farthest thing from Sol's mind
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

I love slow starting Sundays. There is nothing better than sipping tea, reading the paper and cuddling with pugs.
