Caption This #24

There is a lot going on in this week’s Caption This.  Henry is diving into the pool to rescue the lobster and Little Luna is getting all worked up because her brother is such a daredevil and is diving into a huge puddle.

Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

The Princess and the Pea

Benjamin & Henry always hear us talking to Luna and referring to her as “princess.”  The boys weren’t entirely sold on their little sister being a real princess so they put her to the test.  They remembered the story The Princess and the Pea and they decided to use the same technique to prove whether or not Luna was a real princess.  They snagged a pea from their dinner bowl and put it under the dog bed in my office.  They then stacked another dog bed on top.  Sure enough, Luna took the bait and tried to make herself cozy, but wouldn’t you know, she just couldn’t fall asleep because there was something hard under her bed!  To their dismay, Benjamin & Henry learned that their sister is infact a real princess.

Casting Call

The role of the coffee table is now being played by Luna the Pug.

As we were putting the furniture back after steam cleaning Luna plopped down in the middle of the rug in the living room right where the coffee table usually sits.  She stayed there for quite awhile, which helped us procrastinate in getting the living room completely back together.  She was there so long that I thought she would make a good stand in for the coffee table.  Just look how wonderfully she can hold the newspaper!  That big coffee table has nothing on her!

Here is a shot to show how she has set herself up right in the middle of the rug.

Caption This #20

Here we have little Luna chilling on the first step of the pool.  She did a couple laps in the pool before she took a little break on the step.

Looking forward to seeing your captions in the comments!

Caption This #16

For this week’s Caption This, we have little Luna sporting one of the gangs most liked plush toys.  Her brothers actually helped her put the toy around her neck.  They were playing tug and the little girl had to get in the middle of everything.  As always, I look forward to reading your captions in the comments.

Summer Fun

I have been having a lot of fun learning how to make videos, so I thought I would try my hand at a little video montage of the boys swimming with some pictures of Luna thrown in there.  Unfortunately, Luna’s swimming videos from this weekend didn’t turn out too good.  I think she sabotaged them on purpose once she heard I was making a montage.  She wants her own video and she doesn’t want to share screen time with the boys!  She is a pretty woman after all!  I hope you enjoy!

These Eyes

So, it has been about a year and a half now that Luna has been with us. While she did come to us with some issues, the biggest one has been her chronic eye problems. She has dry eye. She also has another issue where water congregates near her cornea. (If they ever gave this condition a name, well, I wasn’t paying attention and/or probably couldn’t pronounce it anyway.) So, Luna has a very diligent schedule for eye medications. The medications have been changed a few times and the schedule numerous amounts of times. It seems like as soon as we remember the routine, it changes again. Usually after a trip to the eye specialist, we will have to create a new spreadsheet to keep track of her medication schedule. We will have to go back in 2 weeks for a recheck, but currently, her medication schedule is as follows:

• Muro ointment first thing in the morning every day (left eye only)
• Cyclosporin at lunch time and dinner time every day (left eye only)
• Neopolydex at lunch time every day 5 minutes after the Cyclosporin (both eyes)
• Tacrolimus mid afternoon every other day (left eye only)
• Muro ointment again at dinner time every day (left eye only)
• Cylcosporin again at bedtime (left eye only)

See why the need for a spreadsheet? It can be a little daunting when the routine changes but there’s still always a routine. The last time we went to the vet she asked if Luna gets a treat for taking her meds. I told her heck no because on a schedule like that she’d weigh 500 pounds! Fortunately, the vet was supportive and told us that if Luna was good about taking her meds, then no treat was necessary anyway. We are very thankful because Luna does do a super job when she gets her meds. There are no problems when she gets drops, but on a rare occasion, she will get a little wiggly when it comes time for the ointment. We can’t really blame her, though, she puts up with an awful lot. She is a really good girl. It’s almost like she knows how much they help her. It’s a real shame, though because no matter what we do, her vision still deteriorates slowly. She does better in the daytime but nighttime is another story. She doesn’t seem any worse for the wear, though. She’s our little trooper.

Overcrowding

The boys and Luna usually always snuggle together, but sometimes they just make me laugh.  Henry was still snoozing in bed, when I was trying to make it the other morning, so I put him in the little dog bed in the living room.  Before I knew it Benjamin joined Henry in the dog bed.  Luna didn’t want to be left out so she squeezed herself in as well.

The expression on her face is just priceless.  She seems to be saying, “Geez…having brothers is nice, but you would think they could leave a little bit more room for their lil’ sis!”

All Henry has to say is, “I was here first!”
