Well, today is another trip to the ophthalmologist for little Luna. The last time she was there they had discovered that one of her medications was actually irritating her eye. So, it was sort of a catch-22 situation. She needs the meds to help her but on the other hand, they also bother her. Instead of eliminating the questionable medication altogether, they cut the dosage in half. This has seemed to irritate her less but as far as maintaining the tear productivity at half the dosage, we won’t know until to this afternoon. If all goes well, at today’s visit, though, Luna may be able to stay away from the vet’s office until April of 2008! We are hoping that the medication schedule we have been following for her is just right. We’ll keep you posted.
Henry is not much of a beggar, but he has developed a new habit where he wants to lick the plates when we are done eating. He sits quietly while we are eating and then as soon as we finish he sits up and whines for the plates. This all started because we let him lick a tiny bit of our spaghetti plate once. ONCE! And suddenly this has become a habit. Here is trying to con us into giving him the leftover chicken.
It was a sad weekend here in the OBP household. We had our German Shepard cousin, Boston, take his last breath. He lived near us when we lived in Maryland but it had been a while since we’d last seen him but we remember him fondly. We would take him for long walks when his own mom needed a pup sitter. We visited him a few times with the boys, too. Though he was very protective of his mother, as most Shepards are, he still welcomed us all into his home and allowed the boys to partake in leg-lifting adventures in the back yard and even shared his prized chicken jerky treats. It was very unfortunate that cousin Luna never had the opportunity to meet cousin Boston. The two would have been fast friends, as well. Bozzy, as he was affectionately referred to, was the light of his mama’s life. He was a loyal and loving companion, a guardian and a best friend. It is with heavy heart we mourn his passing.
Luna has a tendency to end up in the oddest of positions. I guess the pillow wasn’t cooperating with her, so she ended up like this. Instead of flipping the pillow on it’s side and laying on it, she just laid on top and squished it.
She also likes to sleep with her leg completely stretched out. It always makes me laugh to see her leg stretched the whole length of her body.
Last Sunday afternoon we went to the beach. It had been a while since the boys and Luna had been to the beach so as soon as we got close they got very excited. Once there, the pugs ran around like crazy, running in an out of the water with sand flying from their feet.
Henry is in the lead here and is making a sharp left to avoid being pummeled by Luna and Benjamin.
Luna just loves to strut her stuff on the beach.
And one of the few moments when Benjamin was standing still.
