Swim camp! In the dog days of summer, swimming is pretty much the only intense activity the pugs can do without being at risk for a heat stroke. I'm sure Henry will be in the pool this summer, saving every floating object. Benjamin will be happy to watch from the air conditioned house and Luna will be outside with her peeps, panting her head off, but refusing to cool herself down in the pool. Ah, summer!

I was doing some work from home last week and Henry stepped down from his guard on the sofa to lay in the sunbeams in my office. Just like old times. When I worked from home full time this was the coveted spot that the boys used to vie over.

The day I posted the story about Luna being a sleepy head, this was the scene before I left for work. Luna, demanded that I take a picture to prove that she is quite perky and cute in the morning and Benny, the breakfast hog, is the real sleepy head.

Benjamin and Luna are coming a round a bit on the doggie stroller. They have never been big fans of getting wheeled around, but as it gets harder and harder for them to keep up with Henry they are seeing that the stroller isn't such a bad thing. On our last outing, we let them keep the top down and they really liked that. The deal was the top could stay down as long as they sat down and didn't try and jump out (like Sol did one time). They kept up their end of the bargain so we kept the top down for the entire walk.
When we first set off for our walk, the stroller was empty and everyone was walking. Luna tired out first, so she was the first occupant of the stroller. I think she got a little too used to having the wheels all to herself, because when Benny tired out, she wasn't too happy that he was joining her.
In Luna's defense, Ben did act like he owned the place when he got in.
But, after a while, Luna wiggled her way to the front and let Benny know that he needed to shove over a bit.

It might sound silly, but Winter is my favorite time to go to the beach. The summer months are too hot for the pugs, even at the beach, and the beach is usually way more crowded.
We haven't been to the beach this winter and I'm not sure if Benny and Luna would be up for it. A morning or afternoon at the beach might be a bit too much excitement for them and I'm pretty sure it would involve more walking than they are up for.

Luna's hatred of mornings is growing worse and worse. Her "5 more minutes" has turned into "1 more hour". Pretty soon I'm not sure if she is going to be up in time to eat breakfast before it is time for me to go to work. Explaining that I'm late to work because my dog wouldn't get out of bed might be a little awkward at work, so Luna is going to have to do a little bit better of a job of getting up in the morning.
