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.

The other day, I noticed that the puff pillow, which Luna has completely claimed as her own, was looking a little flat. So I fluffed it up a bit. Well, that did not sit well with little Luna. She scratched, she circled, she paced all in a desperate attempt to get the puff pillow back into the same exact shape that it was in before the dreaded fluffing occurred.
After a few days of hard work, she was able to re-mold the bed around her body. And there will be no more puff ball fluffing for me.
Have a good weekend!

We went to the bookstore this weekend and no trip to the bookstore would be complete without a stop in the Pet section. As we made our way over, I noticed a clearance table and I saw the book Test Your Dog The Dog IQ Test. I had seen this book before and flipped through it quickly, but now that it was "bargain priced" I couldn't resist getting it and taking the quiz for each one of the pugs.
When I got home, I flipped to the first question and it reads, "Does your dog recognize the signs that indicate you are preparing his or her food?" My choices were Always, Sometimes or Never. However, I didn't feel those answers were emphatic enough. Perhaps a YES with five exclamation points would be a better choice. Or "They can read my mind and know when I am going to feed them before I even make a move towards the kitchen" would be more accurate.
The second question is "Does your dog have different reactions to different foods (e.g. is especially eager for a piece of salami vs. the same old dry dog food)? Hello! Can you say PUGKIN BREAD!
At this point, I slammed the book closed, looked at the pugs and told them that if we stop at question number two all four of you are geniuses!

Please note that this is not an endorsement for Nutro dog food. It was just us taking advantage of a photo-op with Luna. As you know, we feed the pugs a homemade diet and I am not about to throw my hat in the ring and start recommending dog food.

They are still looking for that blueberry dog treat that went missing a few weeks back. No treat left behind!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

I have been trying for awhile to get a few shots of the pugs catching treats that are tossed to them. To make it possible we had to change from Cheerios to a larger treat that would show up a bit better in mid air. So we opted for blueberry flavored dog biscuits. Something a bit bigger would have worked even better, but if you look close you can see the treats flying through the air.
The pictures of the treats the boys caught were OK, but the interesting shots were their near misses. First up is Benjamin taking one on the chin.
The toss is up. Benjamin is intently focused on the treat which is the light brown spot highlighted by the green tree background and just above the white bar.
But something went awry. Did Luna's wiggling tail cause Benny to take his eye of the treat? It doesn't much matter, the treat bounces of Benny's chin. You can see the treat as it falls to the ground.
The treat takes a couple of bounces and ends up between Luna's hind legs. Watch out little girl you are about to be up ended.
Next up is Henry and his miss was quite amusing.
The toss is good and it looks like Henry is in a good position to make the catch.
But wait, what happened! The treat bounces out of Henry's mouth at the last minute and you can see it falling to the ground.
Nooooo! Come here tasty treat!
And then the worst possible thing that could happen happens. The treat rolls into the pool. Not knowing what to do the pugs start pacing around the edge of the pool devastated that their treat has met a soggy demise.

I went to visit G-Ma & G-Pa this weekend and took the official treat transportation device with me. I'm not sure if the pugs were happier to see me or my suitcase. Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

You know Henry's super man dive from yesterday's post (the first picture)? Well, this is the next frame. Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

Ann was gracious enough to bake a whole bag of pugkin bread pupcakes for the pugs (Ann's recipe). The pugs just loved that the pupcakes were their very own serving!
If you are wondering why Sol's napkin is further back than Benjamin, Henry & Luna's that's because two seconds earlier she pulled this stunt.
