Everything I Thought It Would Be

Labor Day Weekend has come to a close and while life has gotten back to normal, we are still smiling from all the fun we had this weekend.  I wouldn’t say that the weekend was relaxing, but it was chock full of fun and we were on the go from one fun thing to the next all weekend long.

Things got off to a great start Thursday night because we had pizza for dinner.  Pizza is one of my favorite foods and the pugs don’t mind it either.  They love to get their little bits of pizza crust.

Friday we did some shopping and in the afternoon we had some downtime with the pugs.  We played chase in the yard and the pugs had fun ripping apart a few of their stuffed animals.  I wish I had pictures, but I was in on the fun and unfortunately didn’t get a chance to snap too many pictures.

On Sunday, we had a family cookout and the pugs had a lot of fun.  Henry loves cookouts and get togethers because when there is a large group of people in the house there is always someone with a free hand to pet him.  So he just goes from person to person getting pet.  He is a real outgoing guy.

Benjamin loves cookouts because of the food.  There are all kind of snacks and the house is filled with people that have not gotten used to Baby Benny’s charming good looks.  So, he finds it pretty easy to get some treats throughout the day.

Luna loves cookouts because she always get to put on one of her best dresses and prance around.  She just loves how everyone stops to tell her how gorgeous she looks.

Plus, I cooked up an extra burger for the pugs to split.  They were quite happy with that special treat!

On Monday, we went to the beach, sans pugs because it was too hot.  We stayed for about two hours and then we came home to swim in the pool.  Henry was in rare form and was having a blast swimming and fetching things in the pool.

We had some family over swimming with us and Henry was really showing off.  He was jumping into the pool off the first step and splashing around.

Benjamin was also fired up and he kept waiting for Henry to bring his toys out of the pool so that he could steal them and run around the yard with them.  Anything to get them farther away the pool.

After all that swimming, we had another family get together to play some games.  This time all the pugs were tired out and they were very happy that there were plenty of laps to go around.

I am happy to say that I actually took a break from work this weekend.  I did a couple small things in between outings, but compared to what I normally do this can be considered a work free weekend for me.  Granted, I am paying the price for it now, but it will all get done, eventually
