She Works Hard for the Peanut Butter

The other night the pugs were restless so I gave them a Kong. I shot a little video of Luna working to get the peanut butter out of her Kong. It's a wonder she doesn't tire out her little tongue.

Do Not Disturb

With as many sleepy shots of Luna that I have, I'm thinking I could start a blog feature called Case of the Mondays.

While she looks very cranky, she perks right up if you call her name or if she hears particular noises coming from the kitchen. It is just when Luna sleeps, she goes all out and really gives it her all.

It is very hard for me to believe that this is the same pug that was so nervous that she tried to sleep standing up when we first adopted her. Judging by the way she sleeps now, I think it is safe to say she is felling pretty safe now.

Docked

Land loving Benjamin tested out the raft to see if he could find a way to enjoy it out of the pool. He could have used a bit more cushioning in the seat, but I think he still prefers to sit in the raft when it is parked on solid ground.

When Benny climbed into the raft, Henry came over to see what Benny was up to. Although, I think he was all for setting sail in the raft since he loves to float around the pool and sun himself.

With the boys both involved, Luna felt compelled to sniff around. Her conclusion was that the raft was a pool toy, so she didn't want anything to do with it.

Shortly after Benny tired of sitting in the raft, Henry promptly jumped in to see what it is like at the helm on dry land. He must not have liked it because he didn't stay long.

Making It Work

It has been hot out, but the pugs have managed to still get in some lounge chair time a few days each week. They just love to get out there and soak up the sun until they get too hot.

They usually all arrive at the chair at the same time, but they are staggered in leaving. Benjamin always gets hot first and retreats to the house. Luna is never far behind Benny and Henry usually outlasts the other two by a good 15 minutes.

I hope your weekend involves a little lounge chair time.

Don't even think about talking to her until she has had her coffee.

Swim Camp Recap

Since everyone seemed to enjoy the photos and videos from swim camp, I thought I would post a few of the pictures that didn't make it into the posts earlier in the week.

Have a great weekend!

Swim Camp 2010 - Luna

Little Luna would get the camp's 'Most Improved' award. Not because her swimming has improved, her swimming skills have always been stellar, but because her fear of the water has decreased tremendously.

Luna's normal swim camp routine is to be carried to the far end of the pool and then swim to the step at the other end of the pool. At first she didn't want to leave her camp counselor accompanying her in the deep end. You would put her down and she would just circle you. So we started swimming to the step and she happily followed. After doing that a few times, she figured out how to swim to the step all on her own and no longer needed to be escorted.

And when she is swimming to the step, she is a woman on a mission.

And then she gets to take a little break on the step before she does another lap.

Here is a little video of Luna in action.

Relocated

You know how Luna loves to lay in the bin in my office while I work? Well, the summer heat has forced her to find a new favorite spot to sleep while I toil away at my desk.

The bin sits near a door, which gets lots of morning sun and despite being in the AC and having the sunlight reflect through the glass door, Luna gets overheated. She tried to tough it out at first, but she found it pretty hard to get any sleep while panting.

So she packed up camp and moved to a dog bed at the other side of the office that doesn't get any of the sun's rays. Oddly enough, though, on this new dog bed she always lays with her back up against the wall.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
