I wanted to give an update on how the guys are doing - This morning, I took them out to do their business, which they did. Then they came in and head their morning kibble.

Then we went out shopping, and ended up going to some see some friends, and we didn’t make it home until 11:30pm. I was fully expecting mess in the house.

Nothing. Of course, when I ran them outside they went right away, but they didn’t do anytthing in the house. They did scoff their evening kibble down though! Buddy is now sitting in my lap while I type, as Mommy is in bed sleeping already, so they are being quiet, like good little puggies.

And this is what they were like last night when they were playing. This is why Reggie comes to visit the North Shore Pugs.

Murphys mom brought her foster pug for a bit too, Brody. It was a little busy in the house with 5, but the back door was open, the back yard secure, so they got to play for a while.

After Brody went to his next home we ate, chilled, then headed to the beach. Pictures are on Reggies and Murphys blogs (links on the side), I didn’t take any as I was too wasted from the busy few weeks we;ve had and wasn’t thinking, besides, Mike always takes a million of them

They had a blast on the beach, Buddy and Brutus love the leash free freedom, love getting their feet wet (if it’s not too cold on the ocean) and love running like crazy. Reggie is a lot more weary of it, and will back up from the waves. Murphy was there for his first time and I was happy to see him diving right in and getting splashed and soaked!

We had a blast. Beth also managed to bake some of her famous doggy cookies that Murphy approves of so much!

Great day, I was just sorry I was so tired out :(

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.

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.

So now it has. The template now has a picture of Brutus on the left, and Buddy on the right. Say hi!
