Aerial
This was the sight on Sunday morning as we glanced through the paper. Could just be me, but they look like a cinnamon bun curled up like that.

Buttinsky
It is an unspoken rule that the puff pillow belongs to Luna. So, I was quite surprised the other day when I saw that Ben had wiggled his way into the puff pillow bed with Luna. I guess Luna didn't mind so much because of the recent cold weather. With the recent cold snap everyone, even Luna, can use a little more pug body heat.

Stair Masters
When we lived in Maryland, we lived in a 3 story house. So, the boys got plenty of practice going up and down steps. When we moved to Florida, our new house is on one level and there is no steps to be found. The boys rarely come across steps anymore in their daily travels.
To keep them fresh, whenever we walk past this one building that has a flight of steps running up the side, I always take them up and down just for fun. The boys do great, but at first Luna didn't know what to do. I don't think she had much step experience as a puppy. But, she has finally learned how to go up and down the steps. Going up was never much of a problem. It has always been the going down part. Luna isn't the quickest, but she gets the job done.

Electric
Last weekend, we dug the electric blanket out of the closet and put it on the bed. I know, I know. We live in Florida. What on Earth would we need an electric blanket for? Before, I lived here, I used to feel the same way. I laughed at the Floridians with their fireplaces and boots and gloves and thought they were all crazy. Then I lived here for a few years, and now I really regret not getting a fireplace in the house.
I have learned that cold is relative. Plus, I was talking to a neighbor who spends a lot of time in Colorado and she said that 30° in Florida feels colder than 30° in Colorado. It has something about the amount of moisture in the air. I'm not exactly sure on all the details. What I took away from the conversation was that I was totally justified in buying the electric blanket.
In any case, we put the electric blanket on the bed last weekend and the pugs love it. They are in toasty, pug heaven.
However, the recent cold snap does have me very concerned about Benny. He has been very stiff and slow going the last few days. Right now, I am chalking it up to the cold weather taking its toll on Benny's aging bones and joints, but nonetheless it has me very concerned.
While I am working, I have been keeping him in a sweater to help him stay warm. He seems warmer, but it doesn't seem to be helping his stiffness.
Yesterday, I had an idea and I thought I would create a mini electric blank for the pugs to use during the day while they are on the couch. So, I dug out the heating pad, put it on low, stuck it under a double folded blanket and within seconds there was a pile of pugs on the heating pad. The heating pad isn't meant to stay on all day, so I have been turning it off and on throughout the day hoping to keep the pugs feeling good.
Hopefully, the cold will pass and Benny will get back to his usual spry self.

Turkeys
After the long Thanksgiving weekend, the boys took a nice rest on the couch. Because the holidays can be so exhausting for a pug. You know, looking cut all the time isn't easy.

Baggage
I got home from a quick, weekend trip on Monday and as soon as I arrived home, the pugs were inspecting my suitcase. A lot of dogs think of the suitcase as bad news, but Benjamin, Henry & Luna view suitcases as magical treat portals. Suitcases bring yummy treats from Maryland to Florida courtesy of G-Ma.

Lil’ Devil
Ever notice the horns on Benjamin's forehead?
You know, the ones right here.
To me, they were way more pronounced when he was a puppy. I'm not sure if that is because he was a little less wrinkly or if his bad puppy behavior made them stand out a bit more.
All I know is he has devilishly good looks.
