Benny the food thief has struck again! This time at dinner instead of breakfast. Let me share with you what happened.
Last night for dinner we were having salmon on the grill. So I go through my normal routine of getting the grill setup, turned on and preheated. When I return to the grill with fish in hand, I discover that the propane tank has run out. This is a pain, but not a big deal as we have a spare. The pugs are in the house so I set the fish on the table in the screened-in lanai while I get the new propane tank. I return with the new tank and get everything hooked up. After the new tank is installed, I turn around only to find Benjamin standing on the table on the lanai eating the RAW fish! I immediately scream out “BENJAMIN!” He looks up, we lock eyes and he slinks off the table onto the chair. He knows better than to do that.
My next thought is, “How did he even get outside?” I thought he was in the house. Apparently, Benjamin had slipped outside unnoticed while we were going in and out to get the new propane tank. With everyone busy he thought he could grab some fish without anyone noticing him.
I had no idea, but I guess Benjamin likes sushi.

When Benjamin and Henry were puppies, I worked really hard to get them to play fetch. Despite my efforts, neither one ever took to the game. Luna isn’t much of a fetcher either. I have always wanted a dog that was always up for a good game of fetch.

It is not uncommon to end up missing a sock in our house. If the dryer doesn’t eat your sock, Henry surely will. Henry will snag your sock and run around the house with it every chance he gets.
It is a good thing that socks come in pairs because as soon as Henry finds a sock for himself, Benjamin always wants one as well.

Benjamin hates salads, but he loves bacon. Bacon is definitely not a part of his diet, so I am not sure how he knows he loves it so much, but when it comes to food he just has a nose for those things. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried and how long he stared at it, Benny was not able to will the bacon to him using his patented food pout.

After snapping a couple pictures of Henry grazing in the yard, Henry was adamant that I spend some time petting him. He parked himself at my feet and just gazed at me with that classic Henry look. I of course complied and spent some time in the yard petting him. It lasted about 5 minutes. After that we were both too hot and had to go inside to cool down.

Last week we showed off Luna’s new sundress and we were wondering if you dress your pug up. Let us know by voting in our latest poll.

We were looking through the photo albums this weekend and we came across some adorable pics of the boys when they were puppies. Here are some of my favorites.
This is a shot of the boys anxiously looking to see where everyone went. We were visiting family when this shot was taken. The boys are about a year old here and to me what is the funniest thing is that Benjamin is almost as tall as Henry. Now that they are fully grown, Henry towers over Ben.
This shot was taken in Ocean City, MD. We decided to take the boys to the beach for a day trip. While walking on the boardwalk, we passed by a sign for Red Dog and of course could not resist making the boys pose next to a sign marked dog. To complete his beach look, Benjamin is wearing an infant muscle tee.
Here is a shot of the boys sleeping in their toy basket at about 12 weeks old. Before we brought the boys home, we went out and bought them a nice, lined wicker toy basket and filled it with toys. We were young and naive because the boys had the toy box completely chewed in about one morning. I guess we weren’t really thinking like a puppy when we bought the basket!
This is Baby Benny at about 12 weeks old. When he was truly Baby Benny.
