Sun Chasers

To say that Benjamin, Henry and Luna are creatures of habit would be an understatement.  They have their daily routines and each of them has their little idiosyncrasies.  One of their favorite things to do is to sun themselves in the afternoon.  Since the weather has been nice, I have been able to leave the door in my office open that leads to the pool area.  The pugs love to lay just outside my office door and catch some rays.  But with the sun setting earlier now, the house quickly casts a shadow over them.  Without fail, they all inch their way back into the sun, moving farther away from the house.  They lounge around for a few more minutes and sure enough they are in the shade again.  So they just inch their way back to the sun.

It is quite amusing to watch.  I’m not sure why they just don’t go lay at the other end of the pool deck.  Then they won’t have to move so often.  But for some reason, they like to lay as close to my office door as possible. And without fail, they follow the sun every afternoon.  A day never goes by without these little ones making me laugh.
