Memories of Winter

So I have been reading the blogs of all our friends in snowy places, looking at all their winter wonderland pictures and thought I would share some pictures of Benjamin & Henry from winters past in Maryland.  So today, we travel back to February 2003.  The boys weren’t even a year old yet and Luna was not even a thought in our mind.  If you asked if we were going to get a third pug our stomach would have hurt from laughing.  At that time, having two puppies was way more difficult than I ever could have imagined.  To this day, I’m not sure if I ever want another puppy again in my life.

But in any case, as bad as they were, Benjamin & Henry were up for anything and they had a ball romping around in all the white stuff..

This is classic Benjamin.  While he loved the snow, he could only be out for a short amount of time.  The cold snow was just too much for his delicate paws.

Henry never was one to stay on the beaten path and when it snowed, Henry always made a beeline to the undisturbed snow and trudged through and made his own path.

In Maryland, we lived near a library and when it snowed they plowed the snow into the parking lot into huge piles.  The boys loved to run up the mounds and act like Kings of the world.

To my knowledge, Luna has never seen a flurry in her life.  She is originally from Miami and when we adopted her she made the move to the northern part of central Florida.  However, you would think that she moved to Antarctica.  It gets a little chillier in this part of Florida than it does in Miami and she is forever shivering.  If it gets anywhere near the 40’s we have to break out her winter coat.  She is definitely a sunshine kind of girl.  I have a feeling that if she was ever subjected to snow that she would be contacting Compassionate Pug Rescue and telling them that they needed to find her a new home.
