Henjamin

Sometimes we think we should have re-named Luna Henjamin.  The more we learn about Luna the funnier it is because she is an odd cross of the boys.  The traits she takes from Henry are: 

• they are similar in physical looks (same colors/ buggy eyes, tail curls toward the right side, is snorty)
• neither are morning people
• both will stop at odd places because they have an irresistible urge to scratch
• both bark at you to egg you on

I could go on but you see what I mean.

But she is also so much like Benjamin that it is crazy, too.  Just like Benny, Luna has:

• times when she gets sudden bursts of energy and just runs around in circles
• an insatiable appetite
• the annoying habit of jumping on your leg at meal time
• the ability to sleep standing up
• the constant urge to chase the cat
• a huge dislike of all water related activities
• the need to gives lots of kisses
• the quirk of scratching to settle down
• the disdain of being put on her back

It is just too weird.  Luna has some of her own traits, too, like the way she scoots across the carpet to rub her belly, the way she grunts at you if you are not giving her her dinner quick enough, the way she perches her butt up in the air when she chews her bones.

One trait that they all have, though (but is very un-ladylike) is that they all lift their legs to pee-pee.  Yup, even Luna will cock herself up on a little bush or perch her hind legs up the side of a tree to go potty.  It looks absolutely ridiculous.

She really must admire her brothers because she sure has picked up a lot of their habits!  So much so that she is perfect combination of the both of them!  Henjamin, Benry, whatever you call her, Luna is fits right into the mix!
