Here we have Benjamin and Luna sunning themselves poolside on one of our very relaxing loungers. I bought the lounger about a year ago with grand visions of relaxing Saturdays spent poolside on this comfy chair. Yeah, right! I don’t know what I was thinking. Even though I don’t get to use it very often it is good to know that Benjamin, Henry and Luna put it to good use. Rarely does a day go by that at least one of them doesn’t spend some time chilling on the lounge chair.

Benjamin, Henry and Luna are all on a special, homemade diet. The main ingredient in their special food is ground turkey. To make things easier during the week, Sunday is the designated turkey cooking day. Each Sunday we cook anywhere from 10-15 packages of ground turkey. Needless to say, it can be a tedious task, but overall it is worth all the effort. Since we switched to the new diet almost 3 years ago many of Benjamin and Henry’s digestion issues have been cured. Since adopting Luna, she has been transitioned over to the new diet as well. Out of all three of them, I would say that Luna likes the food the most. She just goes nuts for the turkey.
While we cook the turkey and get everything prepped for the week, Benjamin, Henry and Luna all wait patiently in the kitchen watching our every move and just hoping that a bite of turkey will fall on the floor.

After swimming and playing fetch in the pool, Henry loves to go in the yard and roll in the grass. This time, he took a slice of his watermelon Rip’Em, his favorite toy, in the yard with him. He was having a good time flinging his toy around the yard and rolling in the grass. All while soaking up the sun. This was an ideal day for Hank.

Benjamin just loves his “puffy”! Benjamin’s “puffy” is a furry little plush toy in the shape of a disk. There is nothing spectacular about it, but he has had a weird bond with it ever since he was a puppy. He will not go to bed unless he has his “puffy” with him and he even brings it out in the yard with him when he suns himself.
He has had his “puffy” for about 4 years now, so needless to say that we have had to wash the furry little disk a few times. Each time it goes in the wash, we cross our fingers and wait with baited breath hoping that it will come out in tact. I don’t want to have to be the one that tells Benny that the washing machine ate his “puff.”
We have tried on many occasions to buy a backup “puffy”, but Benjamin rejects them all. There is only one original!

Memorial Day Weekend was a lot of fun this year. I really enjoyed having the extra day off and we got a chance to do a lot of things this weekend. We did some work around the house, took a little day trip, relaxed, and swam in the pool. Luna tested the waters again and she did really well. While she was swimming we tried to teach her that if she wants to get out she needs to swim to the steps. She caught on pretty quick. She would swim over and stand with her hind paws on the top step and her front two paws on the edge of the pool. She would not jump out herself. Instead she would just wait for someone to give her a little extra boost with their hand before she would hop out of the pool.

We are currently in the middle of upgrading the site. If you see weird things going on while browsing the site in the next few days, don’t worry it is just us. Thanks for your patience!

One of the biggest chores in the morning is making the bed. Not because making the bed is such a hard task, but because how do you make the bed with 3 pugs in it? All of them look so cute snuggled under the covers and on the pillows that I don’t want to move them! However, seeing them all cuddled up together in the morning is a great way to start the day!
