Saturday was gorgeous pug weather and we decided to spend the day at the beach. A lot of other people thought Saturday was a great beach day too because the beach was very crowded. There were people, dogs & kids everywhere.
We walked along the beach for a while before we found a spot to setup camp. We setup the blankets and within a few minutes the pugs had sand all over the blankets. Just they way they like them! But, you can't expect to go to the beach and not get sandy. Especially, when you have 3 pugs in tow.
A lot of dogs stopped to say hello as they passed our camp on the beach. To my surprise, I even managed to catch a dog playing fetch in the background of Benny's picture.
Henry was in need of a pair of shades because he was squinting in every picture I snapped of him.
The pugs did a lot of running around before they were finally ready to settle and take in the sights from their blankets. We were even lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the DirectTV blimp passing in front of the lighthouse.

The pugs are allowed to sleep with us at night, which is generally fine, but two of the pugs are serious bed hogs. We try to encourage the pugs to sleep in the same direction that we do (parallel to us), but Henry & Luna prefer to sleep perpendicular to us.
When we go to bed, things start out OK, but as the night goes on Henry & Luna switch into perpendicular sleeping mode and the next thing you know we are hanging off the side of the bed and the pugs have all sorts of open space in the middle of the bed.
You can switch the pugs back into parallel mode, but after a few hours they are right back into perpendicular sleeping mode and we are clinging to the bed again.
How a little pug can push you out of the bed is beyond me but they manage to do it every night.

Yesterday morning, when I got up to feed the dogs, I could hear the rain beating down on the roof. I knew in about 5 minutes, after the pugs finished scarfing down their breakfast, they weren't going to be happy campers.
The morning routine is that after they finish eating, the pugs let themselves out through the doggie door and go potty in the yard. They promptly return to bed after that.
As I stumbled around still bleary eyed, I heard Benjamin go out through the doggie door. Less than one second later, he came right back in. He stood there looking around, weighing his options. Could he hold it and go right back to bed? Probably not, because just knowing that it is raining outside makes Benny have to go potty. Would I allow him to pee through the screen from the cover of the lanai? That was a risky move because he knows how I feel about the boys peeing on the screens.
So, I told him we would do our summer thunderstorm potty trick. I would take him out front and he could go potty on some flowers by the front door while remaining under cover. Except that it is not summer and the flowers that the pugs normally potty on have all but shriveled up and died because of the cold winter weather.
Knowing what he is supposed to do, but not having the flowers he likes to pee on, Benjamin is pacing. Finally he gets up the courage to sprint out to one of the flowers, go potty real quick and sprint back. I open the door and he runs as fast as he can back to bed.
Seeing the ordeal that Benjamin just had, Luna decides that she can hold it and promptly goes back to bed. I know she can, so I let her go back to bed without going potty.
Henry, on the other hand, proceeds out the doggie door, business as usual. He may or may not even notice that it is raining. Either way, it doesn't matter, because he doesn't care. He is his usual dawdling self. He eventually, comes back in, very wet from his time in the yard and hops back into bed. I encourage him to lay next to Ben.

A walk at the City Center falls under the "Somewhere Fun Walk" category in our data tracking experiment. I love going to the City Center and the pugs really enjoy it as well. There is a nice path that meanders around a lake that is a half mile long. When we go, we usually try to get a mile in with the pugs, which would be just two simple laps around the lake, but Henry refuses to walk around the lake twice. He will actually sit down and refuse to take another step. Not because he is too tired and can't walk, but because he has a rule that he will not walk at the same place twice on one walk. Been there smelled that, is his motto. So to extend the walk we have take a couple side routes. And Henry loves the side routes, because there is nothing he loves more than getting off the beaten path and exploring.

Meet Jade. Jade came over on Sunday to play with the pugs and to watch a bit of the Puppy Bowl. She was also kind enough to bring her humans Jennifer and Corey. And it was a good thing she did because Jennifer brought pumpkin bread. Yummy, yummy pumpkin bread.
The pugs played a bit, but like any good Puppy Bowl party there was lots of snacking, which I think was the pugs' favorite part. Turns out that Jade loves pumpkin bread too!
Jade has a super sweet, outgoing personality and reminds me of Sol in a lot of ways. I like to think that Sol, in her younger days, was a lot like Jade.
Thanks for hanging out with us on Sunday, Jennifer, Corey and Jade.

Benjamin experienced a first a few weeks ago. He found a cat that actually likes him.
It is no secret that Benjamin is the lowest pug on Cupid's totem pole. And every other cat he has come across has promptly greeted him with a bap on the head.
So when Simba, a cat that lives in our neighborhood that is allowed to go outside, and Benny crossed paths, Benny was bracing himself for the worst, but was presently surprised when Simba rubbed up against him and promptly flopped on his back. (Yup, that is Benny in the pink collar below. He was borrowing it from his sister that day).
And ever since their first meeting, Simba generally comes over to see the pugs when they go out for their evening walk. We will be walking along and he will come darting over to say hi to the pugs. After a minute or two of prancing around the pugs he is off for other adventures.

It is hard to believe, but 5 years ago tomorrow, we drove down to Hollywood, FL and adopted Luna from Compassionate Pug Rescue.
I have loved every minute of the little girl being here. And to think that we were worried that she might not get along with the boys 
Over the 5 years she has been with us there have been lots of great Luna moments, so I thought I would share some of my favorites from her first year with us. Also, you can check out some of Luna's pictures on Flickr.
Happy Gotcha Day Looney Tune!

On Tuesday, Luna had her purple stitches removed from her ear and her elbow. She did such a good job sitting still while they removed her stitches. She really is a very good girl at the vet.
It looks like everything healed up nicely. The area on her ear, where they scraped one of the tumors out, is a big scab, but they said that is to be expected and it is looking good.
The only bad news of the visit for Luna is that she is now allowed to get wet again! She was really liking that 14 day bath embargo due to her stitches.

We just found out about National Popcorn Day. From the brief research we have done, many say the exact date of National Popcorn Day is unknown, although many celebrate it on Jan 19th.
If we missed the official day or not, the pugs were not about to let National Popcorn Day go by uncelebrated. They LOVE popcorn so in honor of the holiday we made a bag of popcorn last night.
They would have ate the whole bag if we let them, but they were forced to share with their humans.
Does your pug like popcorn?
