Are You Ready Yet?

Before I leave for work in the morning I give the pugs a little scoop of turkey to tide them over while I'm away. Since it is food related, it's the part of the morning routine that the pugs love the most. So, while I am getting ready for work I have three little pugs staring at me wondering if I am done getting ready yet so that we can get to the turkey.

Flashback Friday

This picture is from February 2006.

This shot was taken a few weeks after we adopted Luna. Luna was curled up sleeping on one of the dog beds in my office and Benny in true big brother form, brought her a duck and squeezed himself in to make himself comfortable.

They had to share the dog bed because you know I didn't have enough beds for everyone in my office

This Week’s Luna Approved Item

Don't let the this picture fool you. Luna isn't resting her head funny on the floor, she is actually chewing.

I stopped at the pet store to get treats and chewies for the pugs and I saw some strange looking chews. I inquired about what they were and they told me they were sweet potatoes. So, I figured I would get some for the pugs to try.

So, far they have been a hit with Benjamin, Henry and Luna. They have lasted longer than I thought they would. The only problem is the boys are able to break them into pieces. Pieces that are way to big for them to swallow, which would be exactly what Benjamin and Henry would try to do.

I got each of the pugs their own sweet potato chew and they all ran off to their favorite chewing places to work on them. But, wouldn't you know, that when Luna saw one of the boys break a chunk of theirs off, she swooped in and grabbed the little piece and spent a good hour chewing on a tiny little piece that I would have had to take away from the boys. And when she was done chewing she still had a lot of sweet potato chew left.

Luna Approved

Luna wasn't too happy with the esophagus sticks that we got for her, but she gave her stamp of approval for the 3' long "porkie" chew that we brought home the other day. I should have taken picture of the super long stick, but the pugs were so excited I didn't want to make them wait while I grabbed my camera. The "porkie" could easily be broken so I gave each of the pugs their own little piece and saved some for another day. The boys gobbled theirs, but Luna daintily chewed hers for hours on the rug.

The funny thing about the boys, is that after they devour their chewie and Luna still has plenty left, they look at me like, "Ma! Why did Luna get more treats than us!

Clocks

I'd say Benjamin and Luna are the most reliable clocks in the house, but they tend to run a little fast. They generally arrive in the kitchen for feeding time about a good 20 minutes before it is chow time. And these are the pleading looks they give me to convince me to feed them early. They look starved don't they?

Luna Latest

We received the test results for Luna's airway wash and the biopsy for the two spots removed on her side. The two bumps removed from her side were benign. Yay!

The culture from the airway wash showed signs of bacteria. So we have started Luna on a round of antibiotics to see if we can clear that up. I don't think the antibiotics are going to cure Luna's cough but hopefully it will get us on the right track.

Later this week, Luna will go to the vet to have the stitches removed from her side. The funny thing is that it appears that Luna has almost as much hair growth on the patch that they had to shave for her biopsy as Benny does on the shaved spot on his back from the testing he had months ago.

Luna & Friends

From the looks of this picture you probably think that we posed Luna with the gargoyle statue. Nope! Sitting with this statue was all Luna's idea. She walked up to it and plopped down next to it just like she does when she hangs out with Henry.

Let's not tell Benny that the gargoyle statue may be ahead of him on Luna's preferred friends to hang out with list.
