When we arrived at the Sock Hop, Ann greeted us with a very special bag. The bag had a loaf of pugkin bread for each one of the pugs! When we got home from the Sock Hop on Saturday night Benjamin was very anxious to get a piece of Ann’s special pugkin bread. So we set them up in the living room each with their own loaf. The silly pugs thought I was going to let them eat the whole thing! I snapped a few pictures and then we broke off a few pieces for them. We did the same thing on Sunday and Monday night too! The pugs are in heaven! The best thing is the pugkin bread is very diet friendly for the pugs. It is made with whole wheat flour and uses applesauce instead of sugar.
Thank you, Ann! You are so very kind and thoughtful!

On Saturday we went to Central Florida Pug Rescue’s Sock Hop and we had a blast! First, let me just say, in our mad dash to get out of the house and get the truck setup to ensure the pugs’ maximum comfort on the trip, I forgot to bring the camera! Yup, how silly am I?
So, our picture with Elvis is the only snapshot we brought home from the event. That is also our first official photograph with Elvis. The pugs have been photographed with Santa and even the Easter Bunny, but this was their first time meeting the King.
There were lots of vendors at the event, many of which had free treat samples. This went over quite with the gang, but especially Benny. We also got to chat with Ann from Central Florida Pug Rescue. Ann made the pugs a very special treat, that they had a chance to gobble up a little bit of on Saturday night and some more on Sunday. More to come about the pugs’ special treat from Ann on Wednesday.
We also had a chance to talk with Marcia and her friends from Compassionate Pug Rescue. Compassionate Pug Rescue is where we adopted Luna from so it was great to see Marcia again. We had not seen her since the day we took little Luna home over 2 years ago.
Overall, it was an awesome day that really tired the pugs out. The pugs slept the whole ride home. They had a great time and so did we!

For this week’s Fashion Forward we grabbed Luna’s Love Denim Dress out of the closet.

This week’s flashback: SEPRA PugFest 2006
We are going to be at Central Florida’s Pug Rescue Sock Hop event today, so I thought it fitting for today’s flashback to be about our trip to the SEPRA PugFest a few years back.

Yesterday afternoon we made the trek to the vet with Henry. It was also time for Henry’s annual exam and shots so we had scheduled all that for this appointment as well. The vet did a thorough examination of Henry and checked his knee to make sure the surgery to correct his luxating patella was holing up OK and his hips to make sure all was good in that department too.
When it came time to look at his coat and skin, he wasn’t too concerned. He did a very thorough check of Henry’s fur and looked very closely at the skin under his patchy spots. His diagnosis is he doesn’t think it is anything to worry about. He said the skin under the patchy spots is healthy and he shows no signs of irritation at all. Whatever, has caused the patchy spots has run its course and the patchy spots are just a result. But, he wasn’t going to treat him for any type of infection or irritation because, at this time, he doesn’t have one. While that was a little hard to wrap my head around, it was relieving to know that nothing serious was wrong. The vet told us to keep an eye on the patchy spots and if they start to connect together or if they seem to bother him to bring him back in for a follow-up.
As with any vet visit there is good news and bad news. While looking in his eyes, the vet was concerned that he saw the early start of cataracts forming in the back of Henry’s eyes. The thorough eye examination was prompted by some odd nighttime behavior that we described to the vet (more to come on this). Out of the whole visit the vet was most concerned about Henry’s eyes. He recommended taking Henry is to see the ophthalmologist the next time we make the trip for Luna. It will be interesting to see what the ophthalmologist has to say. Henry has been to the ophthalmologist before so they should have a baseline for him. Luna’s next visit to the ophthalmologist is late December / early January. While the news is obviously upsetting, I am trying not to go off the deep end until he has had a thorough examination by the ophthalmologist.
On a completely different note, we will be at Central Florida Pug Rescue’s Sock Hop event tomorrow! You won’t be able to miss us! Just look for Henry’s crop circles!
Have a great weekend everyone!

The boys love a Kong with a dab of peanut butter inside. They will spend hours getting the peanut butter out and Henry will continue to lick and chew the Kong long after the peanut butter is gone. Luna, on the other hand, doesn’t really get the Kong. She will run off with her Kong, lick it a few times and then come running back to me all frustrated, with a look that says, “Why did you hide my peanut butter? I have a bowl you know! You could have just put the peanut butter in my bowl!”
