Since Kayden’s arrival into our family many things have changed in our home. The pugs have taken the brunt of most of these changes. In preparation for her coming home we put one of the couches off limits and designated the second couch theirs. Now that she is here they get no couches! They both sleep on one doggy bed between the kitchen and family room. They frequently ask to get on the couches, but with the baby on the couch we just can’t take the risk the door bell will ring and they’ll stampede her on their way to answer the door.

Jinx is being a little more finicky with her food and Kooper is just confused and trying to figure out his new role in the family. Jinx beats him up if he tries to clean her bowl. Mommy is a little less appreciative of his helping me around the house. He also gets confused when I exhile him at night. Let me explain. Pugs snore. Kooper snores louder than any pug, hands down! When I am between feedings, I am sleeping with one ear open waiting for Miss Kayden to call me for the next feeding. His snoring is significantly impacting my ability to fall asleep between these feedings. For this reason, after 2 or 3 times reshifting of his body while he is snoring, I send him downstairs to sleep. He always manages to find his way back upstairs, but he does go away when he sees me coming! Poor Kooper! I’d like to say they are adjusting to the changes, but I think they’re still a little pissed! We are working on giving them extra love so they understand they still have a place in our family!

The only couch occupants are supposed to be Scotty, me, and the baby. Sometimes Scotty will allow the pugs to come up, but not on my watch!
