I sure could use another 3 days off
This weekend was one of those times when I need a few more days off to rest up from all the work from the weekend. We were up on the early side every day of this long, holiday weekend and it seems like we didn’t sit down until it was time to go to bed.
Our main project this weekend was sprucing up the yard. Our first goal was to do something with the small area between the pool and the air conditioner outside and the picture above is what we came up with. Before, it was just an area where the grass struggled to grow. So we laid down the stepping stones and added some plants that help to block the view of the air condition from the lanai. All in all it turned out very well even it if did take all afternoon on Friday.
On Saturday, we put the finishing touches on some pots we were painting for the yard. We ran errands in between coats while we were waiting for the paint to dry.
On Sunday, we planted flowers into the pots that we painted. We have them set throughout the garden and after we planted the flowers we had to have the pugs pose with them, of course.
We also got a pot to put by the front door to keep Buddha company.
Much to the neighbors amusement we have a little concrete fire hydrant in the front yard for the pugs and all the small dogs in the neighborhood to use. We gave it a good power washing and painted it to match the pots.
How was your weekend?

Benny was scratching at the bin with the knucklebones in it so I dumped it on the floor so he could have first pick. He picked them all.
Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

Life with Benny
Life with Benny involves a lot of bone holding. We spoiled him when he was a pup and would hold his bone for him while he chewed so needless to say we have raised a pug that couldn’t hold his own bone if his life depended on it. You reap what you sow, I guess.
In any case, Benny loves to chew so we do a lot of bone holding for him and when we are unable to hold his bone we must come up with a creative way to simulate us holding the bone. Like wedging it between sofa cushions. But, while Benny loves to chew he certainly isn’t a very effective chewer. This goes back to my do the things you love even if you are not the best at them thing that I learned from Henry.
When Benny chews a rawhide bone all he does is soften it up with his slobber. He will work for hours on end, but never really gets anything. When Henry chews we have to keep a very close eye on him to keep him from eating too much at one time. Even Luna, who has the smallest mouth I have ever seen on a pug, can chew circles around Ben.
But it is all moot because there is really nothing Benny likes to do more than go to town chewing a bone while you graciously hold it for him. And this, my friends, is what that is like.

Run puggies, run
I have been on a quest to get a good video of the pugs playing to share with you and until now, I haven’t really been able to capture anything good. Most of the times when the pugs are playing I don’t have the Flip handy and by the time I go get it I end up with 3 pugs just staring up at me.
But, the other night I was able to get a little video of the pugs playing around the pool. Benjamin & Henry love to chase each other around the pool. Luna, as you will notice in the video, isn’t too fond of circling the pool. Since she doesn’t see too well, she tends to hang back while the boys are chasing each other near the gigantic puddle in the yard. You will see her in the video a bit, and I would like to point out, that she is running no where near as fast as she can. She takes it easy on the boys 
My favorite part of the video comes at about 1:32 when Benny turns into a mad man and circles the bench.
Hopefully, there will be more playing videos to come. I will try to get one of little Luna outrunning her big brothers.

After bath aftermath
Benjamin, Henry & Luna each got baths on Sunday. They were quite smelly so not only did we bathe them but we washed pretty much everything they come in contact with, which meant the house smelled really good on Sunday.
After his bath, Benny always gets fired up and runs around like a wild man. Here is a little video of him running around the living room. At around 16 seconds you will seem him stop and smell under the laundry room door. There is blueberry bread behind that door!

It ain’t pumpkin bread, but it’ll do
By now I think everyone knows that Benjamin has a thing for pumpkin bread. So when it isn’t Fall, Benjamin is sad because there is no pumpkin bread. Well, fear not! I think we have found a possible replacement to get him through Spring and Summer - blueberry bread. Blueberry bread is the latest bread choice at Bob Evans and we have been bringing some home to the pugs. They most definitely like it. They don’t love it as much as pumpkin bread, but it is definitely a good second choice.
On a side note, when I take photos where I put the bread on the glass table and have the pugs wait until I snap the photo, Luna always cracks me up. She always sticks her head underneath the glass and tries to smell and lick the bread. Guess she is learning about a little thing called the “glass ceiling.”

Music to his Ears
While Benny, Henry & Luna eat food that we make for them, I give them a tiny bit of Wellness kibble here and there so that if something like a hurricane would happen we could switch to kibble and the pugs would be no worse for the wear. When I scoop out the dry food Benny always makes me laugh so I thought I would record it to share a little bit of his food excitement with you.
On a side note, I have been loving the Flip video camera
