Half in the Bag

Every day when I come home from work the pugs greet me in the driveway. Last Friday, the pugs showed and out of the ordinary interest in my lunch box. I'm not sure why, but Luna was convinced that there was some yummy treat in it. So much so that she walked right into the bag.

Benny, of course, thought Luna was on to something, so he pushed his way in to investigate.

All the while, Henry sat cool as a cucumber knowing that Momma always finishes her lunch

G-Ma

The day the pugs have been waiting for has finally arrived! G-Ma comes to visit! And when G-Ma visits she brings a suitcase full of goodies. Benny, Henry & Luna can't wait to see what she has brought.

Room Service

After the long drive and our walk on the town we were starving so we went back up to the room. We don't like to leave the pugs alone in the hotel room, so we decided to order room service. The rain had stopped and the evening was shaping up to be gorgeous so we decided to eat dinner on the balcony. When we first arrived, the pugs were not too fond of the balcony. But, after we brought the room service tray out there, their feelings for the balcony suddenly changed and it was their new favorite place to be.

More on our trip to Miami and our 1000 pugs photo shoot next week! Have a good weekend!

New Chewies

When I checked the mail on Friday evening I was very happy to see that the treats I ordered for the pugs had finally arrived. I ordered a pack Himalayan Dog Chews from a site that I just found called Doggy Loot (think Groupon meets Woot). My purchase was inspired by working mother guilt and the fact that the back story of the product mentioned Mount Everest. I have pretty much been fascinated by that mountain since watching a few Mount Everest shows on the Discovery channel.

So, when they finally arrived I couldn't wait to see what the pugs thought. To my surprise all 3 pugs liked their new chews. The pugs usually hate the chews I want them to like and love the chews that I hate. So far it looks like the chews are pretty clean (no staining or messy crumbs everywhere). They do have a little bit of a smokey smell but they sure do smell a lot better than some of the other things the pugs have chewed.

The other thing I learned is that Benjamin only chews with his eyes closed. Tried forever to get a shot of him with his eyes open, but I didn't have any luck.

Sidenote: The link to the Doggy Loot site is a referr a friend link. Meaning that I will receive $10 in Doggy Loot dollars if you make a purchase. If you sign up using the link you should receive $5 in Doggy Loot dollars (at least that is what the Doggy Loot site says).

Doggy Bag

Whenever we go out to dinner we always make sure to bring the pugs home a little something. My favorite part of bringing home treats for the pugs is to see what they eat first. Last week, we brought the pugs home a few pieces of steak and leftover vegetables. Not surprisingly, the pugs went for steak first and then the only good pug to eat all his vegetables was Henry. Benjamin and Luna were wishing we brought home more steak.

No Pressure

Geez, Hank. I haven't even sat down to eat yet, and you are already giving me those pleading eyes. Can I at least have a few bites of my salad before you make me feel guilty?

Have a great weekend!

Waking Up is Hard To Do

The pugs have a very bad habit of waking up at 5am for breakfast. We don't have to get up for work until 6:15am so in order to get as much sleep as possible, we just feed them at 5am so they will settle back down after they eat and we can get a little bit more sleep. It is an awful routine that we have clearly help continue, but I love sleep and trying to get the pugs back to sleep at 5am is just too much work. I would rather feed them and head off back to bed to get that last precious hour of sleep.

When 6:15am rolls around and the alarm goes off the pugs don't budge. After all they have full bellies and no where to be. But, we have somewhere to be and one of the many things that needs to be done before we leave is the bed needs to be made. So, each morning, we scoop three sound asleep puggies out of bed and put them in the dog bed on top of the ottoman that we keep next to the bed at night. Once the ottoman is loaded with pugs, we wheel it out to the living room. From there, the pugs catch a few more winks until it is time for us to eat breakfast. Then the boys are up and ready for breakfast #2 of the day. They, of course, get a few Cheerios and a bite of banana. Luna, on the other hand, prefers to catch a few more winks of sleep.
