Walking the muppetts
Nephew Reggie is staying with us for a few days while Mike moves house ... We like Reggie staying with us, he pesters Buddy constantly, and Buddy comes out of it a little more mature than he did before, as if to say “You mean when I play, I’m *that* annoying?”. It’s rather amusing.
I’m also walking them. All three. Together. This is more fun than you think, as Brutus and Buddy have this “lets go! lets go!” attitude. Reggie has a slightly different attitude, best summed up as “I don’t *wanna*”
But he is anyway. I have a complex arrangement right now involving an extending leash and two, two dog couplers. While they get tangled up pretty quickly, it’s easy enough to untangle.
The fun part of walking three pugs, is that they are three times cuter than just one pug. This means I get constant comments from people as I walk. I walk a good distance, in some high traffic areas, so we get a lot of comments.
One little old lady who walks the similar route, at the similar time, has named the dogs “Trouble, Trouble and Trouble” as they keep trying to trip her up. Some hispanic guys in a truck wound their windows down and gave me a rather bad rendition of “Who let the dogs out” this morning, which was one of the more original reactions to the three pugs.
The normal reaction is “Are they brothers?” ... I’m not sure why they ask. Brutus is noticable bigger than Reggie and Buddy, and they all have noticably different markings ...
Still, its fun when they aren’t trying to trip me up in the middle of a road. With a truck coming.

Life after claw
Life without his claw really hasn’t affected Brutus in any negative way ... I’m not sure if it’s likely to regrow or not, he has a short stub of claw sticking out now, but it’s not moving much ...
In the meantime, I’m trying to bring them (and me!) down a few pounds by walking them each morning and night, about a couple of miles. I’m getting stiffer, but they seem to be enjoying themselves!
Hopefully the weather stays cool for a while, once it gets hot, these walks will be off.

Heres Buddy!
This blog was built way back before we got Buddy, and the picture never got updated.
So now it has. The template now has a picture of Brutus on the left, and Buddy on the right. Say hi!
