These knucklebones must be pretty yummy for Henry to give up part of his bed so that the bone may rest comfortably. This particular bone is one of the rejects. Meaning, on the night the knucklebones were given out, this was not the one bone chosen by the pugs that they all wanted to chew. So, it will sit, untouched for days until someone starts chewing on it and makes it interesting enough for all the pugs. In the meantime, Henry is being a hospitable host. Yesterday, when I walked by the bone was in the center of the pillow and Henry was sleeping between the wall and the pillow! Which of course made me shake my head because Henry will give up his bed for a bone, but won’t budge for me when I need him to scoot over a bit so I can get my whole body on the bed at night. The boy obviously doesn’t know where his pumpkin bread is buttered.

Ann was kind enough to send over her pugkin bread recipe for me to share. So without further ado, here it is!
- ½ c. unbleached all purpose flour
- ½ c. whole wheat flour
- ½ c. buckwheat flour
- ½ c. old-fashioned oatmeal
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1 t. cinnamon
- ¼ t. salt
- ¼ t. nutmeg
- ¼ t. ginger
- 1 can pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 1 T. flaxseed
- 2 T. wheat germ
- ½ c. milk
- 2 T. plain yogurt
- ¾ c. unsweetened applesauce
Blend ingredients and spoon into prepared (greased and floured) pans. I use three small loaf pans…or you can use one large loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove loafs to a rack and cool completely. Serves three hungry pugs….or one Benny.
Note: This is a very flexible recipe…you can add or subtract here and there to suit the tastes and food sensibilities of your pugs. If they have allergies to milk or eggs, for example, add more applesauce to moisten the recipe. I sometimes add a little more oatmeal (love that fiber!), adding just a touch more yogurt or milk for additional liquids. Oh, and if the pugs will share, this is perfectly suitable for humans, particularly if you are trying to cut down on sugar in your diet. One more note…I make my own applesauce for this recipe, and I make it using unpeeled apples. More fiber and vitamins to boot!

When we arrived at the Sock Hop, Ann greeted us with a very special bag. The bag had a loaf of pugkin bread for each one of the pugs! When we got home from the Sock Hop on Saturday night Benjamin was very anxious to get a piece of Ann’s special pugkin bread. So we set them up in the living room each with their own loaf. The silly pugs thought I was going to let them eat the whole thing! I snapped a few pictures and then we broke off a few pieces for them. We did the same thing on Sunday and Monday night too! The pugs are in heaven! The best thing is the pugkin bread is very diet friendly for the pugs. It is made with whole wheat flour and uses applesauce instead of sugar.
Thank you, Ann! You are so very kind and thoughtful!

Luna and Henry acting like two little kids making faces for the camera. Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

On Saturday we went to Central Florida Pug Rescue’s Sock Hop and we had a blast! First, let me just say, in our mad dash to get out of the house and get the truck setup to ensure the pugs’ maximum comfort on the trip, I forgot to bring the camera! Yup, how silly am I?
So, our picture with Elvis is the only snapshot we brought home from the event. That is also our first official photograph with Elvis. The pugs have been photographed with Santa and even the Easter Bunny, but this was their first time meeting the King.
There were lots of vendors at the event, many of which had free treat samples. This went over quite with the gang, but especially Benny. We also got to chat with Ann from Central Florida Pug Rescue. Ann made the pugs a very special treat, that they had a chance to gobble up a little bit of on Saturday night and some more on Sunday. More to come about the pugs’ special treat from Ann on Wednesday.
We also had a chance to talk with Marcia and her friends from Compassionate Pug Rescue. Compassionate Pug Rescue is where we adopted Luna from so it was great to see Marcia again. We had not seen her since the day we took little Luna home over 2 years ago.
Overall, it was an awesome day that really tired the pugs out. The pugs slept the whole ride home. They had a great time and so did we!

The boys love a Kong with a dab of peanut butter inside. They will spend hours getting the peanut butter out and Henry will continue to lick and chew the Kong long after the peanut butter is gone. Luna, on the other hand, doesn’t really get the Kong. She will run off with her Kong, lick it a few times and then come running back to me all frustrated, with a look that says, “Why did you hide my peanut butter? I have a bowl you know! You could have just put the peanut butter in my bowl!”

I spent most of the weekend working on the calendar, so the pugs had lots of chewing time this weekend. They had nice new knucklebones to keep them busy while I worked, but their chewing reminded me of something I wanted to blog about awhile back.
Henry has a thing with compressed rawhide bones. Instead of just chewing them, he likes to peel the rawhide off in layers. Unfortunately, he is quite good at it too! As he peels away the layers, I take them away because they are what we call “choking hazards”.
Benjamin hates it when Henry unravels a rawhide bone. Benjamin’s preferred plan of attack is to get the bone so slobbery on an end that it pretty much turns to mush.
Depending on the size of the rawhide strip that Henry pulls off, we sometimes let Luna chew on it. Luna has such a tiny mouth that she couldn’t even come close to getting the larger pieces into her mouth. She will happily chew for hours on a piece of rawhide that we had to take away from Henry.
On a completely different note, how is everyone that was in Ike’s path doing? I hope everyone is OK.

Henry is more than happy to show how Fay knocked over our very top heavy Bougainvillea. So far, other than that, a few million pine needles everywhere and having to drain the pool all is OK.
Have a great weekend everyone! For those who like to check in on the weekends and miss not having anything new, I have decided to start posting something from the archives on Saturdays. I figured after almost 4 years of blogging I have plenty of posts and I can re-share some of the older ones. I would post something new, but I am afraid I would run out of things to talk about going to 6 days a week.
