Before Paul left, he told me that if Buddy is out of your sight, he’s probably getting into trouble. He knows what he’s talking about.
When I left Buddy out of my sight, he pooped on the kitchen floor. So the next time I saw him jump off the couch, I followed him into the kitchen. I took that as a hint. We went outside and both pugs pee’d.
All is well. I’ll be feeding the bunnies soon and then going to bed.
We just went for a nice walk. It’s not too warm outside today, so we went earlier than usual.
Right out of the gate, they both pee’d on the first telephone pole they could find. As usual, Brutus continued to pee as frequently as he could.
On the way back, we stopped at the bakery to see the Chicken Lady. She didn’t give them too much love because she was a little busy. But she did allow me to buy some cookies. 
On the way back from the bakery, Brutus finally pooped.
I’m seeing that Buddy is becoming more aggressive when they walk. Brutus will want to stop to pee on a tree, but Buddy insists they keep walking.
I know I’ve been blogging a lot today. But I want the pugs’ parents to know that they’re doing well.
The bunnies have been fed, and now the house is really quiet.
I’m learning that Brutus will stand in the pantry and bark at the trash can if I leave the pantry door open.
I came home from work today and immediately let the dogs out to take care of nature’s business. Brutus had to pee, but Buddy didn’t do anything. It turns out that Buddy pooped on the floor while I was at work. We’ll go for a walk a little later and make sure they fully relieve themselves.
They both kept looking at me like I had forgotten something. So I gave them each a scoop of food, which has been promptly ignored. But they kept following me, acting like I had neglected to do something. So we went back outside and ran around the yard some. When we came back in, they both did nothing but nibble at the kibble—nothing substantial. Maybe it’s just too early. I’m home from work way earlier than Paul and Beth come home. I just happened to have an afternoon off because of a doctor’s appointment. I bet they’ll eat if we go visit the chicken lady.
When I came home, I gave each of the bunnies a yogurt treat. I’ll feed them momentarily.
As I started typing this, Brutus started whining at the back door. I thought he just wanted to bark at Fluffy next door. It turns out he had to poop too. Not to be outdone by Brutus, Buddy decided he had to poop too. After the first piece dropped down, he spun around to see what had just happened before dropping the next one.
We’ll get this figured out.
I woke up at 4:30 with kisses from Buddy. This is going to be a fun two weeks.
These pictures are from last night.
When I started spending time with the pugs, I was a little worried about Brutus. He’s Beth’s dog. Brutus never had time for me. Buddy, on the other hand, is an attention whore, and we get along just great.
Tonight, Brutus started to show me some love.
Dear Beth,
Your pugsitter has arrived. Brutus has warmed up to me finally. As soon as I walked in the door, they greeted me warmly. I got all kinds of love.
Love,
Mike
