After we wrapped up Swim Camp this weekend, Henry decided that he wanted to take one more lap. At this point, we had taken the pugs out of their life jackets to keep them cool. (No sense wearing the jackets on land). So, when Henry jumped into the pool, he was in for quite a surprise. Swimming sure is a lot harder without his vest. He made it to the step as he usually does, but he pace was much slower and he had to work a lot harder for it.

After Benny finishes a lap in the pool, he always hops out out and does a few extra land laps around the table. While it is usually very hot out, the pool cools him off enough to let him run wild. See Benny, the pool is good for something.

I haven't talked about Swim Camp much this year, but Swim Camp is well underway. The pugs have been getting some pool time in pretty much every weekend. Because of the heat, our walks have been short, hot and to the point.
This year's swim camp is highly specialized for each pug. Henry plays his normal game of fetch, which pretty much gets him a full lap in. Between laps, he hops out of the pool and takes a little break. Then he comes back to the pool step when he is ready to do another lap.
Benny, hates to swim in the middle of the pool. He likes to stay near the edge of the pool. So, Benny, swims around the edge of the pool with a human in tow.
Luna likes to be near people in the pool, so she swims from person to person. When she reaches a person, they scoop her up and hold her for a bit until she is ready to swim again. Then she heads on over to the next person.

This gal showed up in our driveway when we were feeding Monroe rotisserie chicken. Since then, she has come back a few times to see if we were still doling out fresh chicken. Sorry kitty.

Henry wanted to go one way on a recent walk and his brother, sister and humans wanted to go another way. Since Henry was out voted, we went the way the majority wanted to go. Henry wasn't too happy with that, so he decided to just lay down and refuse to walk.
Walking three pugs at once isn't easy when they all have an opinion on which way they want to go. How did I end up with such opinionated pugs? I thought dogs were just supposed to be happy to get out for a walk.Wednesday, May 30, 2012
Swim season is here and Henry has a new float for this year. It isn't the pug tug, but I think he likes it.
So far, Henry has had one fetch session where Henry fetched his pool tool a whopping 3 times. The rest of the time he opted for floating. I think he is easing into summer this year. Building his endurance up again.
Luna, begrudgingly, did a little swimming as well. She is the best swimmer of the group, yet she really doesn't like to be in the water.
Benny successfully hid from us and managed to avoid any pool time.

Our 1000 pugs shoot was fantastic and our trip to Miami was so much fun that we really would like to do it again. The only thing we didn't get to do was meet Puglet while we were in Miami. Puglet was in town, but he was having a little trouble handling the south Florida weather. Word was that he was melting in the FL heat, so we didn't get to meet the original pug super model.
I guess the heat and humidity of FL is quite a shock to someone that is used to the weather on the left coast. I talked to several other FL pug owners there for the shoot and we were quite pleased that it was as cool as it was. Our shoot time was at 1pm so I was super worried about how hot it would be for Benjamin, Henry & Luna. It was hot, but luckily it wasn't as bad as it could have been .
Fingers crossed that if I ever cross paths with Amanda again that we will get to meet Puglet.
