Christmas Highlights

Wow!  What a week!  I don’t even know where to start!  I guess, I will start with Christmas was wonderful and we enjoyed a nice relaxing week visiting with family and friends.

Since Benjamin, Henry & Luna slept most of last Christmas morning, Santa took it a little bit easy this year.  It’s not that they didn’t get plenty, trust me, it was just that we didn’t go overboard.  Plus, with all the gifts they get from family and friends they are totally overstimulated.

First, each of the pugs got a new collar and leash.  We picked out a special design for each of them and they were all wrapped up in their stockings.  While we were quite pleased with the gift it didn’t go over quite that well with the pugs.  It was like giving underwear to a 4 year old.  Totally not what they wanted.  Hopefully, I should have some pictures of them sporting their new collars soon.

They each got plenty of plush toys and Luna seemed to get most excited about these.  After we opened each one, she would take it and shake it causing it to fly out of her mouth.  She would then have to tromp through all the wrapping paper to find it and then she would shake it all over again.

The boys were holding out because they know that Santa always delivers a good bone and this year Santa did not disappoint.  Each pug got a specially filled marrow bone.  And Benjamin & Henry spent the rest of Christmas Day chewing their bones and trying to get the yummy filling out of the middle.  Benny worked on it so long, that he rubbed his lip raw!  So needless to say that the bones had to go away for awhile.  At least until Benny’s lip heals.  So, Benny got a little something extra from Santa this year - a fat lip.

After all the unwrapping and chewing on Christmas, the pugs were pretty tired.  Henry passed out on the sofa and enjoyed a peaceful Christmas night.

There is so much else to share.  Santa also brought Benjamin, Henry, Luna & Cupid a doggie door.  After installing it, I got one of the best ab workouts of my life laughing so hard at the pugs trying to learn how to use it.

Stay tuned!  There is a lot more to come!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and have a safe and happy new year this evening!
