It's pumpkin season, so of course we made sure to get some for Benjamin, Henry and Luna. We were having a little fun with Benny and giving him a bite of pumpkin bread and a bite of broccoli. Check out the video to see what Benny thought of the broccoli. Don't blink or else you will miss it.

This picture is from September 2009.
Last week we talked about pugs and all the crazy places they will rest their chins. Solsey was queen of the unique chin rests. She always made me laugh when I would find her doing something crazy like squeezing her self up next to a bookcase to rest her head on the leg.

Luna has been taking her inhaler for a few weeks now and sadly we aren't seeing as great of results as we first were. The first week Luna was on her inhaler she was like a completely different pug. She rarely coughed. However, once we started to taper her off the prednisone, her cough came back with a vengeance. We contacted the vet and decided it was best to step her back up to her usual dose of prednisone. However, this didn't provide much relief. Her cough was pretty much as bad as ever. We got back in touch with the vet late last week and decided to put Luna back on her antibiotics. We think that she might have an upper respiratory infection that is negating the inhaler.
Fingers crossed that the antibiotics will work and that Luna can get back to rarely coughing when we first started the inhaler.

This was the sight early Saturday morning shortly after Benny had breakfast and went potty. Luna and Benjamin are notorious early risers for breakfast. Given the fact that there are no morning persons in this household, no one is every happy when either Benjamin or Luna start to whine for breakfast.
But, I can totally see why Luna and Benny don't mind getting up early for breakfast. They eat, the go potty and usually they are fast asleep within 20 minutes. I wouldn't mind getting up early either if I knew I was going to be able to go back to sleep about 20 minutes later.

I wish I had a camera trained on the Benjamin, Henry & Luna at all times, because they do a lot of things that crack me up that I would love to have a video of so I could share with everyone.
The other day, I was sitting on the floor with the pugs with a bag of kibble doing some treat training. The pugs are old hats at this and know that I follow the same pattern. The order the pugs sit down determines where they are in the treat line. I go left to right and on this day, Benny was on the left, Luna was in the middle and Henry was on the right.
I'd give Benny a command and he would do it and get a treat. Then it would be Luna's turn. Once she did what I asked she would get a treat and I would move on to Henry.
The boys have to work for their treats a lot more than Luna. I rotate through sit, down, give me 5 and leave it with them. Luna's command is the same every time. Sit. If I'm feeling patient we will work on down, but "sit" is really the only thing that Luna knows. Knowing that she only has to do one thing to earn a treat, you would think that Luna would just sit the entire time and collect her treats. However, she is a excited wiggly mess during treat training. I tell her to "sit", she eventually gets around to sitting and as soon as the kibble touches her tongue her butt has bounced up off the floor.
After a few rounds of treat training, Henry was growing impatient being after Luna. I told Luna to sit and she was wiggling around. I told her to sit again and she was still wiggling around. Finally, Henry had enough and took his paw and smacked her straight in the face. It was his give me 5 paw, but it was like he was telling Luna, snap out of it girl and sit so I can get my turn!
