Caption This #1

I thought it would be fun to do a little something different and play a little game of “Caption This” on the blog.  Each week, I will post a photo and I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks should be the photo’s caption.

I thought we could kick things off with this picture of Henry, Benjamin & Luna eyeing Luna’s birthday cake.  Henry is the one with his tongue out and Luna is in the middle.

Leave your caption in the comments.  Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Beach Day

Sunday was an absolute gorgeous day and we decided to go to the beach and take advantage of the weather before it gets unbearably hot here.  Instead of going to our regular beach, we took a drive to another dog beach in a neighboring town.  This park has a lot more room for dogs to run around.

Since it was their first time at the park, the boys and Luna were very fired up.  They had a blast running in the sand and in and out of the water.  I think they liked the fact that the beach was very wide and they could run huge circles around us.

While strolling along the beach, we came across this guy.  Luna and Henry didn’t really bother with him too much, but Benny was obsessed with him.  We didn’t let him get too close, but he kept trying to flop on his back and roll over it.  I have no clue why.  Benjamin is just a very odd kind of guy.

Everyone had a lot of fun, but I think Henry enjoyed the day the most.  We sat on the beach for a bit and watched the boats go by, so Henry had a chance to soak up the sun and get some petting.  For Henry, it doesn’t really get any better than that!

Henry’s the Man

We got the boys as puppies when they were only 8 and 9 weeks old.  Baby Benny is actually a week older than Henry but he’s still the “baby.”  Henry, however, is a natural leader and far more serious and (sorry Ben but…) intelligent of the 2 boys.  It is pretty obvious that they are high maintenance puggies.  It is all our fault.  We made them that way.  When they were little we would hold them all the time, hold their bones for them and give in to their every need.

Finally, however, Henry can chew a bone on his own.  Benjamin can, too, but he will do everything in his power to get someone to hold it for him instead.  Henry, though, is a big boy and he can do it on his own now.

It definitely goes to show you that how you are raised greatly impacts on what you are like as an adult.  You see, Little Luna who has probably never even had a bone in her life until she came here, holds her bone with confidence because she has always had to do things on her own.  No one has ever done anything for her.  She does not need any help.  She has even tackled bones that are bigger than she is!  That’s why Henry is the man and Baby Benny will forever be the Baby.  Little Luna, well, she’s in a league all her own.  She is more like a Cinderella story in a scrappy sort of way.

What We Love

As a tribute to Valentine’s Day, the pugs would like to recap some of the things that they love.

Benjamin, of course, loves food.  Here are some of Benjamin’s finer moments with food.  There’s Benny waiting for pumpkin bread.  Benny trying to walk off with Luna’s birthday cake and even Benjamin sleeping with his bone.  That’s a true pug for you!  A pug that loves food!

Then there’s Henry.  He isn’t quite as shallow as Baby Benny.  Henry loves simple things.  Henry is more like a Jimmy Buffet kind of dog.  He loves relaxing in the pool in his pug tug and also going to the beach.

Luna, the diva of the trio, has definitely learned to love the finer things in life.  Being the girly girl she is, she loves her fashion!  Luna also has a multiple love of birthday parties.  There’s cake and couture!  What else could a lady need?

Needless to say, though, they also love each other!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  May you and yours feel the love all day everyday!

Beach Party

We haven’t been to the dog beach in some time, so this weekend we decided the pugs were due for a much needed beach day.  Baby Benny and Luna had been bouncing off the walls at home with endless energy so going to the beach was the perfect way to tire them out.  There is just something about the sand that makes all three want to run and run and run.

Benjamin, Henry & Luna didn’t disappoint.  As soon as we got to the beach, they started romping around.  In the shot above, you can see Benjamin & Henry are “it” and Luna is about to be tagged.

The water was a little chilly, but that didn’t stop Benjamin & Henry from going out and getting their paws wet.  Luna dipped a toe or two in, but for the most part she stayed on dry land.

Benny was feeling particularly adventuresome and he went in the water the farthest he has ever been before.  Most of the time, Benny hangs right by the shore, but this time he ventured out a few paces.  The funny thing with Benny is that he goes out a little bit and then once he realizes how far out he is he turns and runs as fast as he can to shore.  You can see the light bulb go off in his head that says, “Oh, no!  Benny is too far from shore!”

But I Want It

Here is Benny having a little pug tantrum.  Luna was chewing a bone and a small piece broke off.  Once it broke off it was deemed a “choking hazard” so I threw it in the trash.  Benny, being Benny, would have none of that and had a little fit.  Acting like that was the only bone in the house.  The boy cracks me up.  Also, Luna pops in to say hello to all the blog readers!

A Simple Question

If you ask the simple question, “Do you want to go?” in our house, you will find that you get quite a response.  The other night, we had to run to the Post Office and we thought we would grab some Ritter’s on the way home.  It was a nice night out so we thought we would ask Benjamin, Henry & Luna if they wanted to join us.  Here was there response…

A quick word of caution to those who may be reading this in a quiet office or some other peaceful location.  This video contains crazy pug barking, so make sure you have your sound properly adjusted before playing it.

If you are wondering where that shrill, high pitched squeal is coming from - that is the infamous Baby Benny.  I wouldn’t say he barks, he more or less shrieks.  The other barking is coming from Henry and while Luna is excitedly running around, she never barks in the video.  Instead, she leaves all that to her brothers!  Who would have thought that two little pugs could make so much noise!

Happy Holidays

G-Ma and G-Pa are coming to town, so that means that the pugs are going to go from spoiled to super spoiled this week.

I hope everyone has a safe and festive holiday season!  Everyone here at the Pug Blog, including Benjamin, Henry and Luna, wish you good cheer this holiday season.

To help celebrate,  here are a few of our old holiday photos from before we even had Luna.  Its hard to believe there was a time that little Luna wasn’t part of the pack.  In any case, these photos of Benny and Henry always make me smile.  Benjamin is in his Santa outfit and Henry is dressed as a reindeer and he is not one bit amused by his outfit.
