Pug Camouflage

They look so comfy it makes me sleepy. Do you have any idea what caused Luna’s scars?

Luna:  Thought I was well hidden, but first Mom with the clicky thing and now the boys…can’t a girl get any privacy?

Made just for Luna, uh, the boys want to share the comfort.  As a fairly new subscribed to OBP, what has caused Luna’s scars?

When she wants to have a quiet moment, all she has to do is curl up on that comforter!!
It may be a while before the boys find her lol

We aren’t entirely sure how Luna got her scars.  It was first thought that she had a very severe case of mange that went untreated and that caused her to lose her fur.  However, when we took her to a dermatologist, they said that might be the reason for the fur loss on her chest, but it was definitely not the cause of the scars on her back.  You can definitely tell those are scars (the skin is firmer, etc).  The dermatologist speculates that she was attacked by something and her wounds were never treated and suspects that a few of the marks might be burn marks.  Many of the scars on her back are now covered by fur since her coat has improved.  Just the large ones are now visible.

It is almost worse not knowing how she got the scars because it lets my imagination run wild.  I try not to think about it much because it makes me very angry that someone would treat this precious little girl so horribly.  I can’t make up for the past, but the important thing is that she is not in any pain and has been given a clean bill of health from the dermatologist.

Luna’s story from her past is certainly a sad one.  Although you don’t know the details, the results tell plenty.  When you wrote your “Things I learned from pug - Luna edition” post, I saved it into my favorites.  She’s a strong, wonderful, loving little girl, and through you she’s able to pass it on to us.

When Luna arrived at her forever home with you, she hit the jackpot and got all the love and happiness she deserves!!!  Plus two great big brothers!

Luna, Benny and Henry are SO adorable.

I love the way Luna looks. She always has a cute face on. It’s funny how she blends into the comforter so well.

Oh.. my mind wanders too I don’t even want to think about where those scars came from! Lets just say the groomer cut too close one time and it never grew back (like eyebrows!)
The past is the past and she has certainly landed in the best forever home one could even imagine! Love heals all wounds and she hit the jackpot with OBP and the puglets!
BTW - You adopting any humans? I’m available! LOL!

Congratulations, Karene!  Your life is just beginning lol.  Not knowing where you live, I can’t say for sure, but if you can’t find a local Pug meetup group in your area, or even if you can, feel free to join our NYC Pug Meetup group.  We all share our experiences, good and bad and there’s lot’s of info already online at the group discussion board.  Go to meetup.com and search for pug with your zip code to see where a local group might be near you.  You can also check myspace, although I had tried there earlier and didn’t find anything, but hey, who knows. lol
