In this week’s Caption This we have little Luna packing her bags. Can’t wait to see your captions in the comments!
It might be a stretch, but I tried to pick a photo that will keep the Pugami Vice story line alive.

While Benny, Henry & Luna eat food that we make for them, I give them a tiny bit of Wellness kibble here and there so that if something like a hurricane would happen we could switch to kibble and the pugs would be no worse for the wear. When I scoop out the dry food Benny always makes me laugh so I thought I would record it to share a little bit of his food excitement with you.
On a side note, I have been loving the Flip video camera

My tweet about wrinkle cleaning sparked some discussions about cleaning wrinkles in the comments of this week’s Caption This so I thought I would elaborate a bit with today’s post.
Out of the three, Benjamin has the worst wrinkles. His wrinkles are constantly dirty and have to be cleaned daily. If I am really on the ball, I will clean them twice a day, but most of the time they only get cleaned once a day. Henry & Luna on the other hand get their wrinkles wiped out about once a week.
I can’t really say why Benjamin’s wrinkles get so much dirtier than the others. His folds are much deeper than the others so that may have something to do with it. He also always has his head stuck somewhere. In the grass or dirt as he is smelling and he also likes to prop himself up on his head so that he can use both of his front paws to scratch on his pillows (been trying to get a video of this for a long time).
To clean his wrinkles we use malacetic wipes. The vet recommended them to us a few years ago and they seem to work OK. They definitely get the dirt out. We used to get them from our vet in Maryland, but the last few times we have ordered them online. Other than the malacetic wipes we just try and keep Benny’s wrinkles as dry as possible so his folds aren’t a breeding ground for yeast.
Luckily, Benjamin is a good boy about letting me clean his wrinkles. We keep the malacetic wipes in the kitchen, so as soon as I go to get one he follows me into the kitchen and stands next to me gazing up hoping to get a treat. He knows the sound of the wipe container and when I open the container his little tail uncurls. It’s so sad! He doesn’t run away, he just stands there and looks at me like, “Let’s get this over with”. It just breaks my heart. But, he soon forgets all about it when he gets his treat.
What about you? What do you use to clean your pug’s wrinkles? I would love to hear your tips as I am always looking for something to help keep Benny’s face clean.

I just wanted to share with everyone the latest from Romeo’s foster mom.
He is doing pretty well, all he wants to do is play with my girls but since he still has a ton of staples he can’t. He seems to be in good spirits most of the time, sometimes you can tell that he is in a bit of pain from the incision. Of course, Patrick and I are spoiling him rotten and he eats up every minute of it. Today he goes back to the vet to have an hour long blood test to check out all his levels, hopefully everything checks out well. I will update you when the results are in. Please continue to keep Romeo in your thoughts! And please continue to get the word out there for donations…every little bit helps!
They also sent along a picture. Take a look at this cute little fella’.
I can’t thank you enough for sending donations Romeo’s way. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and the Delaware Valley Pug Rescue group has opened a PayPal acount so if you would like to give you can now donate via PayPal as well.

Monday through Friday from about 8:00 am to 5:00 pm I function as the doorwoman for the pugs and the cat. Benjamin, Henry, Luna & Cupid make sure that I stay active by constantly wanting to go in and out of my office door. I oblige them during the week since I am sitting right there, but the weekends are a different story. They have gotten used to using that door so they try to use it on the weekends too. What do you think is the best way to explain office hours to a pug?
