It ain’t pumpkin bread, but it’ll do

By now I think everyone knows that Benjamin has a thing for pumpkin bread.  So when it isn’t Fall, Benjamin is sad because there is no pumpkin bread.  Well, fear not!  I think we have found a possible replacement to get him through Spring and Summer - blueberry bread.  Blueberry bread is the latest bread choice at Bob Evans and we have been bringing some home to the pugs.  They most definitely like it.  They don’t love it as much as pumpkin bread, but it is definitely a good second choice.

On a side note, when I take photos where I put the bread on the glass table and have the pugs wait until I snap the photo, Luna always cracks me up.  She always sticks her head underneath the glass and tries to smell and lick the bread.  Guess she is learning about a little thing called the “glass ceiling.”

Good Weekend

This weekend was a great weekend for pug and parents!  We got almost all of our usual weekend to do items done on Friday night so that we could have some free time on Saturday and Sunday.  We went to the grocery store, cut the grass, made the dog food bowls for the week and replenished our stock of turkey by cooking and freezing 14 packages of ground turkey.

We didn’t finish cooking the turkey until about 10ish on Friday night and Baby Benny was so cute because he was falling asleep while sitting up.  The turkey can not be cooked without him supervising and he was trying so hard to stay awake until we were completely finished.

Saturday morning we went for a long walk with the pugs before it got too hot.  It was a beautiful day and a great walk.  When we got back home we went out for a little fun and some shopping giving the pugs a chance to catch a nap.  Later that night we caught up on all the TV shows we recorded and the pugs when to work on their knucklebones.

Sunday started much like Saturday in that we took the pugs for a long walk right after Luna finished reading the paper.  Then we went to the gym and hopped in the pool for a bit when we got home to cool off.  Much to Benjamin & Luna’s liking we didn’t stay in the pool long.  The rest of Sunday was just a lazy afternoon.  The pugs were happy relaxing in the sun and of course Benjamin was begging to have a chance to chew his knucklebone bone on Sunday night.  He is completely obsessed with those bones!

I hope you had a great weekend!

Knucklebones

On Sunday, we gave the pugs their first ever knucklebones.  In the past I have shied away from knucklebones in favor of rib bones because the rib bones seem like they are a better size for the pugs and have a lot less gunk on them.  But on Sunday, they were out of rib bones so I settled for the knucklebones.  Plus, secretly, I had always wanted to see what Benjamin, Henry & Luna’s reaction would be to the size of these massive treats.

Needless to say they were more than pleased with the knucklebones.  In fact, they were wondering why I had been buying them those tiny little rib bones when they had knucklebones all along.

The funniest part of watching them eat the bones was listening to the noises they made.  They snorted, grunted, sighed and made all kinds of sounds trying to clean off the bones.  I got a little bit of Henry on video going to town on his knucklebone.  Turn the sound up and you’ll hear all the noise he was making.  Notice how even the cat was interested in getting a smell.

I only let the pugs chew the bones for about an hour every few days.  Henry actually gets a little less time because he is a much more effective chewer.  I don’t want them to overdo it.  There is a lot of gunk on those bones and much to their chagrin I think they should pace themselves.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Overzealous

It is usually Luna that ends up wearing most of her dinner, but the other night Henry saved a little yogurt for desert.  Unlike Luna, who is completely oblivious to the fact that she ends up wearing most of her dinner, Henry was aware that the yogurt was on his nose and he kept trying to lick it off.  The only problem was that his tongue wasn’t quite long enough.  I wiped it off for him, but not before I had a few minutes of fun with him.
