Usually every Thanksgiving the pugs give a list of what they are thankful for as individual pugs. But as the years pass, they start to sort of mesh into one pug (Henjaluna). They are all thankful for pumpkin bread, bowls of turkey, midday kibble, knuckle bones, rib bones, peanut butter bones, Kongs filled with peanut butter, soft toys, squeaky toys, tug toys, a yard in which to pee, poop and lounge (hopefully they aren’t referring to the same one spot), a large king size pug bed that must unfortunately be shared by 2 pug parents, long walks, short walks, a special spot on the sofa, matching beds in matching crates and an endless supply of petting.
Those are the main “things” that the pugs appreciate. But the pugs want to show their thanks for the “people” in their lives, too. The pugs are thankful for their parents, their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, their sister the cat, their friends, their neighbors up the street that offer treats at Halloween and the small child that while barely 3 years old knows not only the differences in their looks (even from afar) but also recognizes their unique personality traits. The pugs are most appreciative for those people. The pug parents are equally appreciative of those people, as well. But the pugs don’t have any concept of you, their cyber audience. They don’t really realize that they have a “following” that also know them by their uniqueness and odd pug quirks. But as bloggers and pug parents, we know. And this Thanksgiving we wanted to be sure that we thanked you all for your dedication to Owned By Pugs and to your support of pugs everywhere. From our family of pugs to yours, may you enjoy a peaceful and pug filled holiday.

The pugs are very busy getting all their Thanksgiving day preparations done. After all, there are only so many hours a day to bask in the sun. And they need to make sure their batteries are fully charged to combat the tryptophan effects from the turkey so they can be awake for dessert which should include something with pumpkin. Oh, the life of a busy pug!
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween from the Peanuts!
Henry as Charlie Brown.
Benjamin as Linus.
Luna as Lucy.
And of course we had to get a shot of Linus in his pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin.
I have to send out a huge thank you to Punchy! She was kind enough to make the costumes for Benjamin, Henry & Luna. She did an absolutely wonderful job. Check out her Etsy shop to see some of her great outfits.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Today is the first day of Fall and since Fall doesn’t visit Florida, each year we bring Florida to Fall. This year, Henry took Fall a little bit too serious because he absolutely refused to sit up for the picture. That is him, his face hidden behind Luna, laying on his back refusing to cooperate. And you all think Benjamin, Henry & Luna are well behaved!
Happy Fall, everyone!

Henry takes Labor day very seriously and vows to honor the holiday by having a day of rest.

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I can’t really say why, I just always seem to enjoy the day. When we lived in Maryland we would always go to D.C. and watch the fireworks at the Mall. It was always a great show.
Now that we are in Florida, things are a bit different. It seems that everyone if Florida, at least where I am at, likes to put on their own fireworks show. Which, if no one manages to blow their hand off, is all well and good I guess, but must you start setting off the fireworks on July 1st? And if this year is anything like last year, why are we still setting off fireworks on July 10th? Having fireworks set off so close drives Benjamin, Henry & Luna crazy! Suddenly there are loud booms coming from everywhere at all hours of the night and they have no clue why. Their natural instinct is to bark, and I can’t really blame them. So until all my neighbors run out of fireworks, the pugs will be on edge and you can be sure that they will be barking their heads off.
How does your pug react to the sound of fireworks?

I hope all you pug lovers out there have a safe, happy and relaxing Memorial Day!
We will get back into the swing of things starting tomorrow. Take care and see you then.
