We were literally 3 houses away from home, when I ended up with 3 pooped pugs parked under a shade tree. They knew it was too early for dinner so they were in no hurry to get home. They decided to bide their time until dinner rolling around in the grass and watching the bikers and walkers that passed us by.
As I was standing there waiting for the pugs, the only thought running through my head was "Never walk a pug farther than you can carry him."

This weekend, there was a carnival at one of our favorite places to walk the pugs. Since the pugs go to the park all the time, we thought we would take them on Friday night to the carnival. They had a great time meeting all kinds of people and searching for dropped food.
Luna looked everywhere for tickets so the pugs could ride the rides, but she couldn't find any.
But the pugs did find their favorite attraction. This pole was loaded with smells and tons of fun!

When I got home from work last Friday, I took the pugs out in the yard and they each picked a spot to relax. Luna was on my lap, Benny in the shade and Henry in the sun.
These puggers are such creatures of habit.

Benjamin and Henry must have watched too much of the Daytona 500 when Nascar swept through town a few weeks ago because after their walk at one of our favorite parks, they were pretty insistent that they drive.
Where is Luna in all of this? In the backseat where she is supposed to be waiting to be buckled in. At least 1 out of the 3 is behaving

After about 15 minutes at the dog park, you can usually find Benny deep in thought. What is he pondering? I imagine he is thinking, "Hmmm…what haven't I peed on yet?"
Have a great weekend!

After we shockingly made it unscathed to the Dog Park (see yesterday's post about the car ride on the way there), we leashed the puggers up and brought them to the fenced area. This Dog Park is divided between a big dog side and a little dog side. If there are little dogs on the little dog side then we typically play there accordingly. However, there were no little dogs this day. So, off to the big dog side we went.
As soon as we got in there, there were many large breed dogs that sniffed us out and expected us to be the usual mellow pugs we usually are. Well, this is the case for 2 of the 3 of us. Benjamin & Luna follow the pug stereotype pretty much to a T. However, Henry can get a little ornery if not shown the respect he thinks he deserves.
Well, of course this was almost immediately the case. Henry got relentlessly sniffed from head to tail by a large shaggy hair mixed breed. Well, Henry replied in his most heinous gargoyle voice and a toothy attempt at shaggy dog's neck. There a brief tussle and it was over as quickly as it began.
Benjamin & Luna had their own experiences to share, as well. Benjamin, who, we believe is beginning to demonstrate some signs of dementia, simply wandered off following a scent and then became "lost". Once he found the source of the scent he was appeased but then looked up and realized that his pack leader was not right behind him. Fortunately, Benny still responds to my whistle so as soon as he could spot my location based on my whistle he came marching back to his pack. (Funny side note, Benjamin is like the very old man driver that should no longer be driving and in all of his near misses of his own accident causes streams of accidents in his wake. While plodding back to the sound of the whistle, Benny caused a serious of dogs to take wide turns, sharp veers and leap over him as they youthfully played. They tumbled around him like puppies as Benjamin walked towards me completely oblivious to the busyness that was going on around him.)
This is Luna's tale, in her words:
"Family, today was cold. So, I am not sure why you chose to bring us to the center of Antarctica. I was freezing. Don't you know that I can barely see? Especially in the wind? The wind makes me squint. I tried to find a patch of sun away from the shade the trees were casting. I could not. So, I went to hide under the picnic table away from all the hustle and bustle. It was no warmer there. So, I decided the next person that leaves I'm leaving with her! I almost got away with that, too but you were supervising me too well so I had to stay in that cold place even longer. Sophie, my friend from the park wasn't even there. Another disappointment. You call this a forever home? Good grief. I think I will have to make a Facebook page and see if I can find somewhere further south to move in with since I can't take it here when it drops below 70. Today it was like half that! What the paw?"
Well, if you Luna tell it, it wasn't the best time but you take a peek at the photos and see what you think.

(* Read Warning below)
We took a trip to the dog park this weekend. Since the weather was very cool (perfect pug weather) we decided to venture out to somewhere where we do not go that often. We had a nice time (and that will be a follow up post) but the drive on the way to there was a hot mess.
The dogs barked the whole way there! Whenever they get like that in the car it is extremely hard for me to retain my focus on the true mission of driving. My ears were bleeding from the decibel level and my blood pressure must have been through the roof because there was a point where I could have pulled a Thelma & Louise if I lived near a cliff! It was really unbearable.
I can understand when they get excited and they feel the need to let out a gleeful yip here and there but just incessant barking the whole ride there? Really? This time it was like the boys were just arguing between themselves in the back seat. It's like Henry told Ben that they were going to the dog park and Ben said it wasn't true that they were going on an errand instead. So they just bickered about who was right. It was the dog rendition of Grumpy Old Men. (Ok, so I guess it is time that I see a current movie, huh?)
* Anyway, when you watch this video short, if you dare, be sure that you are prepared for at least one of the following to happen:
OBP cannot take responsibility for any of this, as you were sufficiently warned.
