Long Few Days

Benjamin

Last friday we took Benny to the vet because he was having some back trouble. Our vet recommended that we take Benny to the specialist to have things checked out. We got an appointment with the specialist for Monday and we had our initial exam / consultation. They wanted to do a CT Scan and myelogram the same day, but they had a few emergencies so they asked us to bring Benny back on Tuesday. We dropped Benny off bright and early on Tuesday morning to have his CT scan. However, they had another emergency surgery and Benny was not able to get his CT scan done. So, we needed to bring Benny back on Wednesday. By this point, Benny was quite perturbed because he had gone 3 days without any breakfast!

Ben finally had the CT scan yesterday and we received some interesting results. Don't worry. Emergency back surgery is not in his near future. I will go into all the details in another post, but for now, we are happy to have Benny back home. And Benny is very happy that he will get to eat breakfast tomorrow.

Separate a pug from his breakfast? Once, twice, three times???? Lucky for mom that Benny has a forgiving heart. Oh yeah, and mom? Can I have Mon, Tues, and Wed breakfast added to my Thurs breakfast? That would be so groovy!!!!

Oh Benjamin, why you make your family worry so? you are so lucky to have humans who love you and will do anything for your smushy, luscious wrinkles! Kisses and smooches from your NH Friends.

And hey, your back may hurt, but the Ravens won, so that must have made you feel good for a few days!

I don’t blame him for looking a bit disgruntled…is life without meals a life? Sleighbelle has the right idea though. Could water therapy of some sort help your back? Vet suggested it for Georgie for some of his ills except that no one around here has that ability to offer it, but it might help Benny? I was asking about strengthening exercises for Georgie’s mobility problems. Oh Benny, we care so much about you. Be careful, little man.

Georgie had vet appointment today to check on his bladder polyp. It is shrinking but will need watching from here on in. Considering what that exam entails, you can imagine how happy Georgie is about that.

I discovered the other night that Gracie can be “cow-tipped”. For those of you not in the Midwest nor familiar with farming, “cow-tipping” is achieved when someone sneaks up on a sleeping cow standing in a field. Supposedly just pushing on the cow will land it on the ground still locked in it’s standing position. And so, without meaning to, I “cow-tipped” Gracie as I was trying to reclaim more of my pillow one night. Whether or not “cow-tipping” really works on cows, I attest to the fact that it does work on Pugs, at least, one Pug I know.

King Benny, Lord of the Pillow Pile, demands that he be fed breakfast this morning! So sweet!

How can one tell when a dog, specifically, a pug has back problems. What kind of symptoms show up? This stuff scares the mess out of me because at my age, 59, I am still not fluent in dogspeak, much less Pugspeak.

Huckle, “pug-tipping”!!! Very funny!
