All My Pugs in a Row

One of the things I love most about Benjamin, Henry and Luna is how close they are. They are never far from each other and when it time to relax, pug piles are bound to happen.

Morning

The pugs always hang out in the bathroom when I am getting ready for work in the morning. Since the pugs don't like to lay on the tile, except for when they are hot, the rugs in the bathroom fill up fast. That got me thinking, maybe I should have a few dog beds in the bathroom. We don't have any beds in there yet

Planning

Yesterday, after work, I was hanging out with the pugs enjoying the gorgeous evening. I asked them about their day, informed them about the status of their Halloween costumes and we tried to figure out something fun to do this weekend? What about you? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

Time to Trim the Shrubs

Whenever one of the bushes in the yard gets a growth spurt and grows a branch at pug level Benny feels the need to pee on it whenever he is in the vicinity. And when the limb is over grown and hangs over the sidewalk, it means Benny leaves a little puddle.

And that is when I know it is time to get out and do a little yard work.

Unruly Subject

Benny was having a little trouble wrangling this pillow into submission. Usually when the pillows do not cooperate with Benny's wishes he just flicks them on to the floor. But, this time he figured he would just squish it.

Annual Exams

Last Monday, in the midst of Luna's bladder woes, the boys' had their own appointments at the vet for their annual exams.

Both received good reports and received their latest rounds of shots.

Benny has had a very itchy face lately and a quick swab of his wrinkles and a peek under a microscope revealed that Benny has a nice little yeast infection in his wrinkles. So, we are being much more diligent about cleaning his wrinkles. We are using Malaceb wipes and also cleaning his wrinkles with a solution of water and white vinegar (50/50). So far, the frequent cleanings seem to be helping Benny. It sure isn't easy being that cute!

Henry had a blood panel run since he hadn't had blood work done since 2008. Go Hank! He has definitely been the healthiest of the bunch. We got his results and his BUN levels were slightly elevated. However, in 2008 his BUN levels were also high. The latest bloodwork had his BUN just a few points higher. The vet is not overly concerned, but we will have Henry's bloodwork done again in about 6 months just to check on things again and make sure there is not a bigger issue.

Other than that the boys are doing well. This visit was their official 10 year old checkups.

Ready for Football

Benjamin, Henry & Luna are gearing up for football this weekend. In addition to putting their favorite game time snacks on the grocery list, Benny also got his favorite Redskins blanket out of storage.

With two teams to root for each week (Ravens & Redskins), the pugs are guaranteed to get plenty of quality sofa time. Which is why I think they love football season so much.
