Snuggling

Little Luna loves to snuggle. She is also a heat brick. I have no idea how she puts off as much heat as she does, but she sure is great to have around on chilly nights.

Cherry on Top

I always talk about how much of an impact that Sol has had on my life, how she taught me so many things in her subtle ways. But, I think Sol impacted Luna as well.

Solsey had a calming effect on Luna. Since the day we adopted her, Luna was always a very nervous dog. Loving, but still nervous.

After spending time with Sol, Luna significantly calmed down a bit. She seemed to trust us even more. It was like Luna and Sol could relate. They both came into our home in similar circumstances and Sol told Luna it was OK. Relax. You're good now. Solsey conveyed something to Luna that humans could not.

In addition to helping Luna heal, Sol also taught Looney a few tricks. Before Sol, Luna would eat almost anything we put in her bowl. Sometimes begrudgingly, but she ate it nonetheless. Solsey taught Luna that if you don't like what is in your bowl, object. Heck, Solsey demonstrated how to object quite frequently.

And Solsey has taught Luna well. Luna continues to object to her mid day meals to this day. At lunch time, the pugs get a little bit of kibble. Since Luna has a hard time chewing the kibble, we give her a little bit of wet dog food. Well, there are a few flavors that Luna does not care for. When we figured out that Luna did not like those flavors we did not continue to buy them anymore. But, we didn't want what we had on hand to go to waste, so we would put down the food and if Luna objected, we would top the food with a tiny bit of cat food. Luna would then happily gobble down her food.

Well, what a big mistake that was! Now, at lunch, the little miss, sniffs her food bowl and if there is no cat food on top, she walks to the center of the kitchen and stares at you, wagging her little tail. She'll look at you, then look at the cat bowl, then back at you. And until you put a dab of cat food on top of her food she will not eat.

I'm sure Solsey could not be prouder!

Peek-a-Luna

It cracks me up when the pugs peer through the cutout on the back of the kitchen chairs. You really can't do anything in the kitchen without them knowing about it.

Tiny Swimmer

Luna isn't very fond of swimming, however, she is a wonderful swimmer. She is by far the best swimmer of the three. Not only can the girl swim, but she is quick! Swimming looks like it comes so natural to her, but yet it isn't really her thing.

Pug Legs

If my legs are ever stretched out, you can pretty much always find Henry laying like this. He loves to lay on my legs and have his belly rubbed. Luna squeezing in to lay on my feet is just icing on the cake. Luna is a lap dog for sure and she will wiggle herself onto any lap, leg or body part for that matter.

Belly Scratcher

One of the things that the ever so lady like Luna loves to do is scratch her belly in the grass. It is really quite a site to see as she scoots her belly back and forth on the grass. You only need to spend one day with Luna to realize there is nothing girly about her

Enjoy the weekend!

Patches

In addition to her nose job, Luna also got a haircut last week.

They shaved a big spot on her back so they could inject dye for her CT Scan.

Overall, Luna is doing very well since her surgery. Her breathing is noticeably better. I am really surprised how much she already appears to have benefited from the breathing surgery.

Her shaky legs and troublesome neck appear to be about the same. It is hard to tell if the medicine is making much of a difference at this point. But, we are keeping a close eye on her so that we have lots to report to the neurologist when Luna goes back in a few weeks for her checkup.
