Pumpkin Ice Cream
Last weekend, we had a friend visiting from Maryland. One night we headed out for ice cream and when I saw they had pumpkin ice cream I knew I had to bring a doggie dish home for the pugs.
The only thing the pugs like better than when I bring home ice cream is if they get to go with me to get the ice cream. The ice cream shop is outdoor only and has several serving windows and the building itself has lots of very big windows so you can see what is going on inside. The windows have low ledges so if the pugs stand on their hind legs they can see inside. We mostly take the pugs in the summer and in the summer there are always long lines. It took a while, but the pugs have learned that they need to wait in line and can not simply rush up to the counter. I make the boys sit and they become intensely focused on the serving window and they anxiously scoot up each time the line moves. It is really the funniest thing to watch. When they get to the front of the line, it is paws up and they spend the whole time peering into the window. Luna passes the time by getting attention from everyone in line.

Love the story. The boys are focused on only the ice cream. Littl Luna is playing it up. She knows the ice cream is eventually coming, but what fun to be the center of attention on the way. Go Luna.
