Annual Exams

Way to go, boys!  You guys and our Mack are about the same age.  His BUN levels were a little high last week as well, but not too bad, so they will be watched.  He is also very itchy but his folds were OK.  He’s on RX’s for now.  Once we get a good freeze, his allergies usually quiet down for the winter!

Please keep us posted on Luna’s prognosis.

Drools and licks,
Minnie, Mack and foster Mario

I’m glad the boys are ok.  Hope Babygirl Luna has good news soon.  xoxoxox   Patty

Glad to hear that the Henry/Benny Team scored so well on their exams.
Bella goes in for another nail trim today and I KNOW its only been a couple of weeks since the last.  Its like she has nails on steroids and a couple tend to curl under and head straight for her little foot pads.  I wonder if I painted them w/polish if they would grow slower???  It always seemed to me that my fingernails didn’t grow as fast when I wore polish on them.  This is a thought I won’t pursue, however, as I’m sure chewing nail polish isn’t the best a pugger - and chew it off she WOULD!
Hopeful that Sweet Luna continues to improve and her innards return to normal.
SUE VdB:  I’m sure you were frustrated at the postponement of your surgery - but getting your sugar levels back down will ensure a faster healing process for you, I would think.  So - here’s to that and hope you are able to get your elbow repaired quite soon.

Janice~Nice to hear about your family! Your babies sound wonderful!

Glad the boys had a great checkup! Pip always had wrinkle problems in the fold above his nose. We had special meds we used and it helped a lot. Bella doesn’t have wrinkle issues but she is very itchy. She takes prednisone three times a week. Hoping the freeze that is coming will settle her itchies. If not, I’m thinking about acupuncture since Sue VDB and Huckle have had success with it.

Is that pretty Luna’s reflection in the door behind the boys? Continued prayers for Miss. Looney Tunes!

Sue VDB~Hope you can have your surgery done soon. Thinking of you!

Bella is snoring so loud right now! I love it. The house is so quiet since both girls are at school! And Mama is gettin’ sleepy!

Pug Hugs to you all from Bella & me!

OK, kids.  I’m at sea here.  What are BUN levels?  I can’t think of anything to fit that although assume the first word is ‘blood’?  Glad to hear of a good report for the boys at least.  You say Benny smells like a pickle?

This will sound like I am putting you all on, so hesitated to mention it, but the first night after we learned of Luna’s health issue, the pugs and I were sitting in bed praying and talking it over and Georgie lay down, crossed his paws and put his head down.  The girls just sat looking sad.  This is not normal bedtime behavior for them as they usually roam over the bed, check under the covers, nose under the pillows looking for treats.  Somehow, I feel, they knew the gravity of the situation.

Sue VDB, didn’t see your comment about your surgery being postponed.  That ends up being such a weight still on you when you want to tidy things up and get them over with.  Here’s hoping next week your numbers will fare better and you will soon be mending.

Mary, I have a pug with toenail issues like Bella.  I often think that I could cut Abby’s paws off (gross thought) and her nails would continue to grow.  It’s so embarrassing when she goes to the vet and her curling toenails look as if they haven’t been cut in a month of Sundays.  The vet did say something about pug’s nails being a two toenail deal whereas the bottom nail grows and curls under and the top nail just grows.  I had not heard that before, has anyone?

Smooches to Luna.

Handsome and healthy, that’s the combo we like!!!!  Yay boys!

Looney, time to follow your brothers’ leads sweet one!

Janice, nice to meet you and your gang!  Welcome to the ever-loving, beautiful OBP family!

Huckle, I don’t doubt your story at all. Pugs are more in tune than most humans I know!

Sue VdB:  continued prayers for you. Better to be safe although I understand your frustration with the delay. Imagine a big OBP family hug surrounding you!

Love you all!

Heather, Baxter, and Cole!

Benny and Hank, good job.  Looney Tunes, now it’s your turn.

Janice, nice to hear from you.  Please continue to post.  We are one big family who care about each other.

My surgery has been rescheduled for October 9 at 10 am.  I will be sure to connect my pump completely.  In the 11 years I have had a pump, this is the first time I have done this, so I know it was for a reason. I don’t have a lot of actual pain, but it is uncomfortable, and I’m readly to get this behind me.

Thank all of you dear people for your prayers and support.

Hats off to Hank and Benny for good checkups!  After Benjamin’s stinkles are taken care of, they’ll be good to go : )

Janice, it’s nice to *meet* you!

Huckle, I believe your dogs did understand the serious prayers being offered.

Sue, Again, I say you’re my role model with how you handle the hard stuff ♥
