Last Monday, in the midst of Luna's bladder woes, the boys' had their own appointments at the vet for their annual exams.
Both received good reports and received their latest rounds of shots.
Benny has had a very itchy face lately and a quick swab of his wrinkles and a peek under a microscope revealed that Benny has a nice little yeast infection in his wrinkles. So, we are being much more diligent about cleaning his wrinkles. We are using Malaceb wipes and also cleaning his wrinkles with a solution of water and white vinegar (50/50). So far, the frequent cleanings seem to be helping Benny. It sure isn't easy being that cute!
Henry had a blood panel run since he hadn't had blood work done since 2008. Go Hank! He has definitely been the healthiest of the bunch. We got his results and his BUN levels were slightly elevated. However, in 2008 his BUN levels were also high. The latest bloodwork had his BUN just a few points higher. The vet is not overly concerned, but we will have Henry's bloodwork done again in about 6 months just to check on things again and make sure there is not a bigger issue.
Other than that the boys are doing well. This visit was their official 10 year old checkups.

I don't want to jinx anything, but there has been a coolness in the air the last few evenings. I love it, but the pugs love it even more.
Before you know it it will be beach season. Pug beach season anyway. As much as a trip to the beach can cool you off on a hot FL summer day, it is still to warm for the pugs. So, the pugs like to go to the beach in the fall and winter. Works for me. I'll go to the beach any day.

One of the many things that keep Benjamin, Henry and Luna busy from day to day is making sure they spend a little time with each of their dog beds. The dog beds in the living room get the most use by far, but from time to time, you'll find one of the pugs laying in one of the lesser used dog beds in a room we don't spend as much time in.
With as many dog beds as we have, you can just imagine that lounging around in all the different dog beds is a full time job for Benjamin, Henry and Luna.

There must be something very interesting going on in the kitchen.
The pugs and Cupid like to relax on the soft and warm carpet while they keep a close eye on what's going on in the kitchen. Even though Cupid looks like she isn't paying attention, don't let her fool you, pop open a can a cat food and she'll be on her feet in less than a second. As for the pugs, just crinkle a bag and you will suddenly have 3 pugs at your feet.

Like Benny, Henry hasn't stepped foot inside a classroom since he was about a year old. That's 9 years ago in human years or 63 in dog years. That's a lot of missed class reunions for the boys!

When we adopted Luna, we knew that she had eye issues. After a few years, we finally found a routine and drop combination that works for her. However, in addition to the vet's prescribed drops, Henry has also taken it upon himself to give Luna's eyes a daily cleaning.
He gives Luna's face (and sometimes her eyeball) a thorough tongue washing each night. I used to fuss at him for it, but Luna doesn't seem to mind. In fact, she seems to like it. Some nights, I see her walk over and lay down next to Henry knowing full well that if she lays down next to him he will give her face a good cleaning.

Er…correction. Maybe it isn't such an alert pug protection system after all.
