Beachy
Good news! Our beach problem was solved! Despite, Saturday being a pretty hot day, things cooled off in the evening and we made a mad dash to the beach.
It was quite breezy out, but that only helped cool the pugs even more. Plus, the water temp must have been around 69° or 70° so the pugs had fun splashing around in the ocean. Heck, even I went in up to my knees.
I took a ton of pictures, so I think this week's theme is going to be scenes from the beach. For those still battling cold weather or heaven forbid snow, if you can't escape to a warm sandy destination we'll bring the warm weather and beach to you.

Beach Day
As odd as this may sound, considering that is only April, I'm hoping that we are able to squeeze in one more beach day with the pugs this spring. We tried to take the pugs to the beach last weekend, but it was just too hot. I'm sure we can sneak in an evening trip to the beach, but I would like to be able to get in one more day of fun where we don't have to worry about the puggers overheating. We'll have to wait and see if mother nature cooperates.
I tell ya, if you have to have problems, these are the types of problems to have.

Pug Sized
People in the neighborhood always laugh at the little fire hydrant statue we have in the yard. We found it at a concrete art type place and when we bought it it was a plain cement color. Having three dogs, we thought it would be cool, to paint it a fun color and use it as a yard decoration. It would be even neater if the pugs actually started using it like they do all the other fire hydrants in the neighborhood. But, wouldn't you know they never use it! They pee on pretty much everything else in the yard, but their own personal, pug sized fire hydrant? Nope, never once have they peed on that.

Comfortable?
This position certainly does not look comfortable, but the boys sit like this all the time.
I have never seen Luna sit like this. I think it is because she is too little. Her little neck isn't long enough to reach the arm of the chair.

Sky High
I was shuffling around some of the dog beds and while I was reorganizing, I started a little pile of beds. Wouldn't you know it, that as soon as Benny saw the pile, he jumped up and made himself comfortable.
I wonder if I stacked all the beds in the house if they would reach the ceiling

Transition in Progress
The OBP family is currently in a state of transition. I'm not sure if everyone realized that even though we live in Florida, the company I worked for was based in Maryland (from which we hail). Well, in February, this company was sold and I, along with other co-workers, found myself without a job.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find a job in a few short weeks. However, while my new place offers a relaxed atmosphere, I am not able to work from home. I had been working from home for about 8 ½ years (since the boys were pups). So, they are used to having me around. And I was used to having them around. The pugs would snore at my feet, keep me company at lunch time and warn me if the door bell was about to ring. They were the best office mates anyone could ever ask for.
So sadly, this had to all change. It is actually bittersweet, though. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I am ever so thankful to have a job at all. In this economy, I am truly appreciative to be able to have landed something so quickly and not that far from home. I just miss the puggers (and Cupid, too, of course).
But while I won't be home to spend time with the pugs, the pugs will have plenty of company. Grammy will be spending lots of time with the pugs and we have hired an awesome dog sitter that the pugs adore. It will be a change for sure, but I know the pugs will be just fine. In fact, they are handling it better than I am.
One final note, try not to worry if I am not exactly "on time" with future postings. While I am not planning on changing anything about the blog, it might take me a little time to adjust to my new schedule.

Benny’s B-Day
On Sunday we celebrated Baby Benny's 9th birthday. As far as the pugs are concerned, it was pretty hot during the day, so we saved a nice walk for the evening.
For Benny's special birthday treat, I baked him Pug Bars. I got the recipe from Puglet of Daily Puglet. Puglet really seemed to love them and they had pumpkin in them so I knew that would be right up Ben's alley. Not only did Benny love them, but so did Henry & Luna.
Benny's first birthday rule was that if he had to wear a silly birthday hat, so did Luna and Henry or else he wasn't going to share his yummy Pug Bars.
And since it was Benny's special day, I let him take a big chomp out of the Pug Bars before I broke everyone off a little piece to enjoy.
All in all, I think Benny had a pretty good day.
