Cody's Tanning Bed!

Oh it's never a dull day in the world of the pugs! Despite sleeping large portions of the day away there's always a few interesting moments. Some times it's pure joy type of moments. Playful puggie time! Other times it's not so joyful as the pugs get into a squabble, suddenly viewing their pug counterpart as their enemy. No matter what though it's entertaining. This morning featured some annoying moments for Cody.

I purposely chose an apartment that got very little direct sunlight. Our previous apartment got major afternoon sun and I wanted to avoid that with this apartment. My only regret is that Cody does love to bask in the sun on a daily basis. For the most part since moving to this place Cody has given up his suntanning ritual. However, just a few months back I discovered some nice sun rays come through the window of the spare room at a certain time each morning. I have now placed an old bed in front of that window. Every morning soon after the morning walk I go in the spare room and pull the blinds up just far enough so that the entire dog bed is getting the full amount of sun rays. Cody typically follows me in there and witnesses me preparing the blinds for his suntanning session. He then promptly lays down to enjoy.

Well, today he was busy getting a drink and when I called for Cody to come in the spare room I got Simon first, Cody second. I'm not sure why Simon feels the need to respond to Cody's name when Cody is busy but he always does. So Simon came in the spare room and immediately got cozy in the sunbathing bed. Cody moseyed in a moment later to discover his little brother in his area. He tried to find an area to lay down near Simon and still get the sun but that didn't work for him. He gave a long sigh! Meanwhile, Simon held his ground! Completely unfazed by his older brother's disapproval of where he lay. Cody left and went to another room. About 15 minutes later Simon emerged from the bed and the spare room. As soon as Cody saw Simon come out of the room he hustled off to re-claim his sunny bed. Cody then fell fast asleep in his "tanning bed".
