The OBP family is currently in a state of transition. I'm not sure if everyone realized that even though we live in Florida, the company I worked for was based in Maryland (from which we hail). Well, in February, this company was sold and I, along with other co-workers, found myself without a job.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find a job in a few short weeks. However, while my new place offers a relaxed atmosphere, I am not able to work from home. I had been working from home for about 8 ½ years (since the boys were pups). So, they are used to having me around. And I was used to having them around. The pugs would snore at my feet, keep me company at lunch time and warn me if the door bell was about to ring. They were the best office mates anyone could ever ask for.
So sadly, this had to all change. It is actually bittersweet, though. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I am ever so thankful to have a job at all. In this economy, I am truly appreciative to be able to have landed something so quickly and not that far from home. I just miss the puggers (and Cupid, too, of course).
But while I won't be home to spend time with the pugs, the pugs will have plenty of company. Grammy will be spending lots of time with the pugs and we have hired an awesome dog sitter that the pugs adore. It will be a change for sure, but I know the pugs will be just fine. In fact, they are handling it better than I am.
One final note, try not to worry if I am not exactly "on time" with future postings. While I am not planning on changing anything about the blog, it might take me a little time to adjust to my new schedule.

Little Looney, stuck in between her bros. Sometimes, Benny & Henry don't leave Luna much room, but I think she would rather squeeze herself in rather than find somewhere else to sleep.

We have been doing a lot of yard work lately and since the weather has been so nice the pugs have been "helping" us.
So they can help and we can have our hands free, we use 15' leashes and hook them to a stake in the ground. We setup some towels and a bowl a water near the front door so that they can have shade when they want it but they can also get a little sun.
When we first go out into the yard, they start out full steam ahead, sitting in the sun. But, after about 15 minutes of watching us work they have retreated back to the shade.
By about the half hour mark, I even heard Benny snoring.

Luna had an eye checkup yesterday and received a very good report. Her eyes are holding steady, which for Luna is great news. The tear production in her bad eye was even up a bit from her last visit.
Not only did she get a great report, but she was a really good girl at her appointment. She got to meet a few dogs and she was a very good girl while having her eyes examined.
After the long car ride there, the excitement of the visit and then the long car ride back home, as soon as we got home, Luna plopped down in her puff pillow and sawed logs for the rest of the afternoon.

To help make up for yesterday's lost hour, we decided to celebrate the extra daylight hour by taking the pugs on a Sunday drive and going for a little walk in a different neighborhood. Since the pugs had never been there before they were super excited and were high energy the whole time.
There were a few streets that we crossed on our walk and I just love the way the pugs always stayed in the cross walk. They are very good doggie citizens.

Three little bed hogs all in a row!

I think it is safe to say that the peak pug weather season is upon us in Florida. The skies have been blue and the temperature is perfect for the pugs. They can go on long walks without getting too hot, bask in the sun for hours and lounge around in the backyard. Trips to the beach are also possible in this weather. By the time summer rolls around, it is too hot for the pugs at the beach.
The picture above was taken during pug weather season in 2006. Like previous years, we will be doing as many outdoor activities as possible during this short window of perfect pug weather. Because, just around the corner is summer. And Florida summers and pugs just don't mix well.

I know we adopted Luna a long time ago, 5 years ago to be exact, but even after all those years, I still reflect on how far the little girl has come.
One of the most heartbreaking things for me when we first adopted her is that she would never get comfortable and rest. The first night in her new home, she literally tried to sleep standing up. Of course, over time, she started to trust us and her surroundings more and she became more relaxed. But, I like to contrast the little pug on day one that would try to sleep standing up to the pug today that is all about making herself comfortable. Luna is a lap dog and when she sits on your lap, she almost shapes you into the form that is most comfortable to her. Not to mention that she is the biggest bed hog around.
She has come a long way and many times when I see her passed out in one of her cozy beds or her little 16 pound body taking up practically the whole sofa, I can't help but think back to that first night and smile at how much Luna has changed over the years.

I love how when Luna is working to get the peanut butter out of a kong, or in this case a kong like toy, she closes her eyes and licks as fast as her little tongue can go. It's as if she drifts off into her own little world.
