Nothing beats a lazy summer afternoon laying in the sunshine. Especially for Eddie.

Yesterday the boys had a play date with some friends, Piper and Pee-Wee. There is nothing quite like four pugs tearing around the house with lots of panting and snorting going on. And little pug trains of nose to butt was pretty amusing as well. Piper is the little black pug and the only female and the smallest of them all. But she sure can hold her own! She became very excited to find two nylon bones, wanted them both and nobody was going to take them away from her! Eddie finally met his match in little Pee-Wee.

When we decided to add Eddie to the family it was for two reasons. We loved having Bob and thought having another pug would that much more enjoyable. And by that point we had also figured out how much pugs shed … so what the heck, we already had hair everywhere so why not get another?! But we also thought that Bob would love to have a buddy to hang out with.  And were we ever right! Bob and Eddie can always be found in two places… anywhere we are and by each others side.

We now have discovered that Eddie will stay in forever if you throw in one of his favorite treats … ice cubes. We discovered their ice cube love in the winter had had lots of laughs watching them try to catch them as they slid all over the hardwood floors. Now we get to watch Eddie come up with his mouth dripping as he goes diving for ice cubes. Bob will have none of it. He will wait till he can come inside and eat them on the couch.

As you may be able to tell already, Eddie is our little trouble maker. He is 2 years old and he and Bob share the same Mother but different fathers. Eddies Mother must have gone through a “bad boy” phase when she had Eddie!  Eddie is smaller then Bob, yet thinks he is in charge. He always has to have the toys that everyone else has and has been known to end up with a whole pile of them while Bob looks on. And you better not give Bob any affection and not give it to Eddie too … there will be none of that!

But with all his bossy ways Eddie is also the lover. Loves to give kisses and has to be with you and as close as he can get. Loves to curl up on your lap and sleep while you sit in front of the computer. In fact he is sleeping on my lap as I write this. He is more relaxed and will sit and chew on a toy bone for hours.

There is so much more I could say about Eddie but will leave that for another time, as each one could be a book in itself!

Bob blinded by the light!
