Calendar Outtake - Luna

Such intense concentration on that pretty girl’s face.  I don’t think you take a “bad” picture sweetheart.

Huckle - that would be a NO???  I can see there is never a dull moment in your household, and I thought mine was hectic.

“Mom, if you aren’t going to ‘powder’ my nose for this photo, then I’ll do it my own way!!!”

Luna just likes a bit of “shine” on her nose for her pictures : )

Oh my Huckle….you do have your hands full!  And that George is a smart one, too!

I have sure enjoyed all the posts and comments this week. Lots of cute pics of all the pugs, esp of Sol. So sweet. It has been pretty busy around my house this week, besides my 3 babies I having taking care of my granddog, Gracie. She is an honorary pug, not real sure of her lineage. We’ve decided to have a slumber party tomorrow night in honor of the end of DST. The pugs seemed really excited when I told them we would get an extra hour of sleep. Hope everyone has a good weekend. We’re having perfect fall weather right now in Texas.

Miss Luna what a pose so cute it looks like your tongue almost covers your nose
Huckle I really enjoy your stories of your gang keep them coming
Abby is doing a little better each day when I took her for a walk this mourning Ollie thought he should go also he was out the front door before me its a good thing my front door has a enclosed area so had to get his pappia ot well the others werent to happy about them not going so had to promise them we would take turns hope everybody has a great weekend

Little Looney oh how I love you so. My goodness you are pretty even when licking your nose. It almost looks like that flower is in ‘your hair’.

Huckle~Have you stopped laughing yet? Georgie sounds like a treat! At least he runs! Pip wouldn’t be running. I think he would be watching.

We had an exciting afternoon/evening/overnight…*sigh* we’re dog sitting a sweet little ‘weeny’ dog named Susie again and she has back problems. Well out of no where she started yelping out in pain. Terrible to hear. She kept doing it so I took her to her vet and sure enough, she had hurt her back somehow. Poor dear. So she got a shot and then I have pills I have to give her. And she has to stay in her kennel and has to be carried out to go potty. Well then in the middle of the night, my 4 year old vomited IN MY BED!! Then she did it again but we made it to the bathroom that time. She stayed home from school and she is feeling better now. So is little Susie dog!

All the while, Pip is taking it all in stride!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Pug Hugs from Gina & Pip

Hi Sue VDB~I did feel very bad! But her folks are so nice. My sister and I used to babysit their boys years ago. I have since babysat their boy’s kids. Talk about feeling old! They told me that she did this to her back about 2 or 3 weeks ago while chasing a squirrel! The poor dear. So they know it wasn’t anything I did. Super nice people!

oh my gosh….throwing up in your face. Wow. Talk about a wake up call!

And thank you for asking but I am doing good. You gotta just laugh sometimes. Lucy is my four year old’s name and I was holding her tonight after her bath and she fell asleep and I was thinking that even though she threw up and didn’t feel so good, and the dog hurting her back, I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything…and then….Pip ‘cut the cheese’ right at my feet! I’m not kidding! He was snoring and tootin’ up a storm! What a way to end the day! 

Thanks Sue!

Minx, glad to hear from you again, and thankful your Taj is doing better.  FYI, because Frontline Plus was no longer working and Comfortis made Romeo sick, I have treated all of them two months with First Shield I bought at Banfield (associated with Petsmart) and it has really worked, and with no side effects.

Hope we continue to hear from you Minx.

(opps, I hit submit before I was finished.  Duh!

Gina, how does that poor -the weeny- like being kenneled?  That has to be a trial for you.  Is this dog very heavy? Best of luck to you.

Sue - When you take Abby for a walk, how does she do on that one leg?  I have been thinking about you and Abby.  Smoooooches to Abby from Abby.

Definitely something to look into. And I, too, only did it every two months. With not working the last two years (and Walmart firing me while I was on Medical Leave, then saying I quit, so I can’t even get unemployment or cash assistance), money is super tight, and I have to stretch every dollar til it shrieks. So I did it every two months, and it did fine til this last dose. So gonna check into other treatments.

Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. My little girl is already showing signs of improvement just with the garlic, so I pray that it can only continue to go up from here. My cousin (who is also a breeder with beloved Pugs of her own) said she had great success with Sevin dust. But I find myself a little wary of dusting that on my lil chewer. Not to mention my mother’s Min-Pin has a tendency to gnaw on Taj a lot, too.

Anyhow, tis midnight or after, and I’m supposed to be snuggling with my snoring little darling girl. Not sure when I’ll be able to check back in, but I shall try to keep y’all posted on my sweet Porky (is it odd to call her Porky when she weighs less than most Pugs I know? lol)

Hugs from me, and lots of loud snores coming from the other room . . .

Huckle - strangely, no. But her garlic breath could knock over a buffalo lol.  Where I used to get just sweet Pug-spit (love those kisses), now I get GARLIC Pug-spit. It’s quite an experience.  But I love the kisses all the same. And now she doesn’t need to worry about vampires, right? *giggle*
