Search & Rescue Crew

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!

The Anatomy of the Catch

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.

Sol wanted to try her paw at swimming without her life vest.  That tells you how optimistic she is.  Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

Henry’s Idea of Fun

Here is a little video from this weekend’s swimming fun.  Henry just loves to pull anything out of the pool and he has gotten quite brave and now leaps into the water without hesitation.  A few things to note in the video.  Notice when Henry jumps into the pool how Benjamin and Luna bark at him.  You can see Luna watching him very closely from land.  Also, I love how little Luna blocks Henry from getting out of the pool on the first try.  That’s what he gets for showing off!

There is a lot going on in this week’s Caption This.  Henry is diving into the pool to rescue the lobster and Little Luna is getting all worked up because her brother is such a daredevil and is diving into a huge puddle.

Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Here we have little Luna chilling on the first step of the pool.  She did a couple laps in the pool before she took a little break on the step.

Looking forward to seeing your captions in the comments!

Here we have Henry lounging on the raft and soaking up the sun.  He has had a lot of fun swimming this summer and it has been almost impossible to keep him out of the pool.  As always, I can’t wait to read your captions.  You can leave them in the comments.

Summer Fun

I have been having a lot of fun learning how to make videos, so I thought I would try my hand at a little video montage of the boys swimming with some pictures of Luna thrown in there.  Unfortunately, Luna’s swimming videos from this weekend didn’t turn out too good.  I think she sabotaged them on purpose once she heard I was making a montage.  She wants her own video and she doesn’t want to share screen time with the boys!  She is a pretty woman after all!  I hope you enjoy!
