Truce?

As you know, Benjamin & Henry have an ongoing battle for the bin each workday.  Benjamin almost always wins and even if he didn’t beat Henry to the bin he feels like he should win because he’s Baby Benny.

So after months of trying everything except getting another bin, I think I have come up with a solution that is agreeable to both parties.  I took one of their new donut beds and put it on a ottoman I have in my office. This isn’t the special part, though, I have tried the bed on the ottoman solution before.  What I did differently this time, is that I was sure to place the ottoman in the same sun beam that warms the bin.  I think this was the piece I was missing all along!

Here I was thinking that the pugs liked the bin because it was elevated and I was missing once crucial piece - sunshine.  So the key to creating two agreable sleeping spots was elevating the bed and putting it in the sunbeam.  The other day they even took turns sharing the bin and the bed on the ottoman.

Lucky for me, Luna has no interest in laying in either the bin or the bed on the ottoman because I am out of ottomans and I would have to move a bookcase to fit her into the same sunbeam!
