On Friday we took the whole gang to the eye vet for appointments. Luna was going in for a follow-up, Sol was going in for an overdue yearly checkup & Henry was going in for his checkup. Benjamin went along for the ride because he would have been a nervous wreck if he was the only one left at home. We sure can fill an exam room can't we?
First things first, Luna was very happy that she got the dog room this time around.
Luna got a good report. Her tear production was back up in her right eye. With her right eye doing better we are able to scale back on the number of drops, which makes me very happy. I'm sure it makes Luna happy too.
Sol was up next and she got a good report too. Her cataracts are looking about the same as last year which means no growth. Good news once again.
Henry had the last appointment and his technique was to keep his eyes closed for the exam.
Henry has the beginnings of cataracts so he goes in once a year just to get them checked out and to monitor their growth. Luckily, there has been no real change since the last visit.
Another round of great news!

Once upon a time, I used to leave the house to go to work. It was when the boys were puppies & to help them burn off some of their puppy energy we used to take them to doggie day care once a week. Unlike a lot of their classmates, once a week was all they needed. They came home pooped. Taking them more than once a week would have been more than they could handle.
It worked out good for us & the boys really seemed to like going to school to play. That is of course on days when Gus wasn't there. Gus, was a Dachshund that terrorized Henry. I got the impression that Gus gave a lot of dogs trouble, but Henry always seemed to be Gus's desired target. The phrase, "Gus, be good!" was frequently heard at the doggy day care center. To this day, if you utter those words, Henry will look around for the little terror.
So when I was scanning in photos of the boys in the snow, I came across a few pictures taken while they were at doggie day care by their "teacher". Gus, is the dog in the bottom right corner of the picture below. What I love about the picture is that Henry is glancing back to Benny saying, "I've had it with this hot dog! I'm going to pummel him, ya got my back?"
Here are a few other shots of the boys at doggie day care.

I have yet to figure out exactly what he has done, but, Henry is one guilty looking pug in that shot.

Queue the barking in 3...2...1...
The pugs love to sit on the sofa in the early evenings and gaze out the door. Not only do they get to bask in the rays of the setting sun, but they also get to bark at everyone that happens to pass by the house. And that is one of their favorite things in the world to do.

Really, Henry? You find that comfortable?
I didn't know he was that flexible. I guess you miss a few walks because of the cold weather and the when you finally get back in the swing of things you need to stretch out the legs. I'm sure that's it

Each one of the fawn pugs received a flossie in their stocking at Christmas courtesy of their sister Solsey. The pet store where we were buying the dog food that Solsey was eating at the time had a promotion during the month of November & December that if you bought three cans you would get a Flossie for free. So, Solsey happily pledged her commitment to nine cans and earned three free flossies. One for each one of her siblings.
Benjamin, Henry & Luna were very thankful for Solsey's thoughtful gift and happily chewed their treat on Christmas day. And each day after Christmas, Henry went off to chew his flossie after dinner without fail. It was like his dessert. He enjoyed his flossie so much that we got another round when they finished up their gift from Sol.

Like two peas in a pod, Solsey & Henry.
