Sol's arrival at the OBP household and her pickiness seems to have brought out the finicky side in Luna. Before, Sol arrived, Luna ate everything the boys ate with only a few exceptions. I think it is because the boys really know how to sell a treat. Their excitement for even the most routine treats has never faded and Luna was always like, well if they love it so much, I guess I should too.
I first noticed Luna picking up on some of Sol's picky eating habits at breakfast. Before Sol, everyone got a piece of banana with a few cheerios sprinkled on top. Benjamin, Henry & Luna all ate their treats. When Solsey came along we offered her the same morning treat. From day one she turned her nose up at it. Fast forward a week and suddenly Luna wants nothing to do with her banana & cheerio treat in the morning. It was like a little light bulb went off in her head and she quickly realized she didn't have to eat everything the boys eat. There are a few other things that Luna doesn't like any more now that Sol has come along.
We'd better be careful or pretty soon the girls may stage a revolt. Better treats for divas!

We stopped and got the pugs a loaf of pumpkin bread last weekend as a little treat. Despite what they might tell you, one loaf will give the pugs treats for about a week and that includes some snacking on our part as well. The hardest part about getting a loaf of pumpkin bread is finding a place to store it. No matter where we stash the bread, Benny will sniff it out and whine and scratch like a mad man once he finds it.
One day, I would love to just come home with a loaf of pumpkin bread, unwrap it and sit it in front of Benny and just see what he does. But, I would never do that because I know exactly what he would do. He would eat the entire thing in one sitting! And then I am pretty sure I would spend the rest of the evening cleaning up after him. The thought of the aftermath makes all the whining and scratching seem pretty bearable.

This picture for this week's Caption This is from the archives of my photo library. The photo was originally taken in June 2003 when Benjamin was a little over a year old. At the time, we were still living in MD, but we were in FL on vacation.
Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

More fun with the Pug Pear Wine. (Try as they might, no pug was served any alcohol. Pug Pear Wine is meant for humans and not dogs.) Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

The pictures aren't the best, but I had to post them to show just how messy of an eater Luna really is. I know we have touched on the subject before, but just look at her placemat. This week's veggie was lima beans and somehow the little girl has managed to get lima beans from one end of the kitchen to the other.

Late last week I ordered the book Home-Prepared Dog & Cat Diets: the Healthful Alternative
and I was very excited when it arrived yesterday.
With Sol's new digestive issues, we reached out to our old vet in Maryland, who originally got us started on the home cooking path, and she recommended several great resources.
I have Chapter 1 under my belt, but I also did a quick once through most of the book. It looks very in-depth. There are lots of charts on daily caloric requirements for dogs at different stages of their life along with many recipes. Hopefully, we will be able to find something that is a good fit for Sol and perhaps even tweak the boy's and Luna's diet a bit so that is even better for them.
