Frenchie Dreams

It appears Benjamin has been working on his Frechie impersonation lately. I guess Halloween is just around the corner. Perhaps he has something planned.

In the Doghouse

You see that tear. The one right behind Benjamin's head. Well that is the result of 4 years of hard work and dedication on Benny's part.

After 4 years he managed to rip a hole in our microfiber sofa. I remember the day the sales lady at the furniture store went on and on about how indestructible microfiber is and that it is nearly impossible to tear. Blah, blah, blah. Well, what the sales lady didn't know is that Benjamin is all about making the impossible possible.

Given Benny's tendencies to scratch before he lays down, I had a good laugh when the sales lady told me that this fabric would hold up forever. And to be honest, I'm kinda surprised it made it four years.

It wouldn't be noticeable at all if Benny didn't have a thing for clearing the couch of its pillows each day.

Hard at Work

So, I have decided to drop the Weekend Warriors theme. It was a fun category, but there were many Saturday nights when I stared blankly at my computer screen wondering what to write about. Since most blog posts just fly right off the top of my head, the Weekend Warriors writers block told me it was time to retire the category.

Sunday posts will continue. However, I'm just not going to start another theme. I'm going to leave things open for now and see what happens.

Enjoy what is left of the weekend!

Rare

You can file this one under things that rarely happen around here.

While Cupid the cat gets along great with the pugs, she doesn't usually cuddle with her subjects. So when she even considered laying down next to Benny, her least favorite of all the pugs, on my desk yesterday, I almost fell out of my chair.

Things you might not know about the pugs

Sol lets out a little toot almost every time you pick her up. It adds to her old lady charm.

Henry is highly offended by farts and even fart sounds. If you pass gas, he will walk off in a huff and glare at your from across the room. He will even leave if you are petting him. That's how offended he gets.

Benjamin is terrified of sewers. If he comes upon a sewer unexpectedly he will drop to his belly and scrape his nails. He knows where every single sewer is in our neighborhood and stays as far away as possible on each walk. He has been like this since the day we brought him home. In fact, he almost got hit by a car on our very first walk together. He saw a sewer & hit the ground and a car turned a corner and almost hit us both. At first I had no idea why he hit the ground & was trembling in fear, but after a few days I figured out he was afraid of all the sewers in the neighborhood. After he made a mental map of all the drain locations he did a lot better on walks.

Luna eats dried worms. Or at least she tries to when we are not looking.

Well, there you have it. A few pug secrets exposed.

Some Assembly Required

The way the pugs flip, flop, scratch, fluff and move around all the parts of the dog bed, I think making the perfect sleeping spot is only slightly easier than assembling Ikea furniture.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Rebels

Geez, pugs! If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. If you are going to sit on the circle rugs, please sit on the mat underneath your picture. Thanks.
