Everyone knows I have a thing for dog beds and I know a few of you have wondered exactly how many dog beds we have in the house. So, I counted them up this weekend and came up with 20. Not bad. That is less than 7 dog beds per pug. 
If you break it down by rooms, my office comes in first with a total of 7 beds. When I worked from home those were 7 very much used dog beds. The living room has the next highest tally at 5. The pugs use those beds a lot when we watch TV in the evenings. The rest of the beds are around the house. 3 of the beds are also used in the pugs' crates (1 in each crate).
There are also two dog beds that are out of the rotation. One is the orthopedic dog bed that we bought for Sol. Solsey didn't really like the bed and Benjamin, Henry and Luna never liked it either so it is tucked away and not currently in use. The other bed not in use is small orthopedic bed for Luna's crate. She was not pleased when we put that bed in her crate so we took it out and put something a bit more comfortable in there for her.
Much to a lot of people's surprise, all the beds are used. If we get a bed and it isn't used, we will usually try a different spot in the house. If it still isn't used we will give it away to a friend. And over the years, we have had to throw a few beds out because the pugs had completely worn them out.
While a lot of the beds are on the floor, there are some beds that are strategically placed. Take my office for example. 3 of the beds in that room are on top of ottomans. The pugs like to be up higher in my office so that they were closer to my desk.
After breaking it down and looking at things this way, I think we need more dog beds.

So, I was out shopping last weekend, when I saw a display labeled as "Massive Pet Beds". Of course I couldn't resist brining one home for the pugs. Its weird, people always look at you funny when you are wheeling around a dog bed that is bigger than your shopping cart. I had a few people ask what kind of dog I had. I got a lot of laughs when I said pug.

Crazy Pug Lady mentioned in the comments last week that Benny looked a lot like a fawn Solsey. So, I was having a little fun with the iPad and took a few pictures of the pugs in X-Ray mode. What do you think? Anyone look like Solsey?
Henry
Benjamin
Luna
I don't know. I think they all look better as fawn pugs.

Meet Jake! Jake is a friend of Benjamin, Henry & Luna. Jake and the pugs like baseball and have hung out together at a Bark at the Park event.
Jake and his family recently bought a new house. After hearing the news, the pugs knew just what to bring Jake - a dog bed. After all you can never have too many dog beds!

Further proof that Henry never sleeps alone. If Luna isn't snuggled up next to him, Benny sure is.
It was close to 90° when I snapped this picture, but Benny wasn't about to let the heat keep him from snuggling up to his brother.

Here in Central Florida there is a bit of a media storm over the Casey Anthony trial. The trial is broadcast during the day on all the major stations and is all over the news in the evening. With all the coverage the case has received in the last 3 years it is hard not to get sucked in. So, needless to say, we have been watching pretty much all of the trial on demand during the evenings after work.
The pugs always curl up on the sofa with us and watch. They got quite vocal during the testimony of one of the K9 officers. The officer gave a play by play of a video of his dog doing a search mission. The pugs got all fired up seeing the German Shepard on the television.
The best part is they humored us and acted like they had not seen that part of the trial before. But, the truth is that the pugs watch the trial twice each day. Grammy, and sometimes even Auntie M, has the trial on while she is pug sitting. The pugs intently watch the case unfold with Grammy and then happily watch it all again with us in the evening. These puggies are really up on their current events.

Sunday mornings are filled with the newspaper, big cups of tea, scrabble games and snoring pugs.
