Another One Bites the Dust

Here lies another fallen tug toy.  This one lasted all of about 5 minutes.  It seems a sturdy tug toy with rope that is not too thick for pug mouths, and lots of limbs for multiple pugs to grab on to is hard to find.  The only tug toy that has lasted for more than one game is the all rope kind with two knots at each end.  However, all of the pugs like to play tug at the same time so we need something with at least three ends, otherwise there is sure to be conflict.

Part of the reason, tug toys break so easily is because Benjamin is a fierce tug player.  When playing tug Benjamin means business and he will drag Henry and Luna around the yard and shake the rope as hard as possible to try and have the other two let go.  While Benjamin will play tug with Henry and Luna, he prefers a solo match with a human competitor.  He pulls, shakes, growls and does everything in his power to win.  And if he doesn’t win he has been known to be a little bit of sore loser.  He just can’t stand it when he is not the top dog.
