Rebels

Geez, pugs! If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. If you are going to sit on the circle rugs, please sit on the mat underneath your picture. Thanks.

To the Eye Doc We Go

On Friday, Luna went back for her second check-up to make sure the obstructed gland in her eyelid continued to heal.

When we arrived, Luna checked herself in and then chatted up a dog in the waiting room.

It was her turn before we knew it and Luna was a very good girl while her eyes were being examined. Here she is getting a Schirmer Tear Test.

Her tear production was fantastic. She measured 18 mm/60s in one eye and 20 mm/60s in the other eye. This is so much better than several years ago when her one eye wouldn't even register. Also, the extra eye drops we have been giving her cleared up the blockage in the gland in her eyelid. So it was a great report for the lucky girl.

The reward for such a great report? Luna doesn't have to go back for a check-up until January of 2010! Yay!

After all the good news, Luna slept soundly on the way home.

Molded

The other day, I noticed that the puff pillow, which Luna has completely claimed as her own, was looking a little flat. So I fluffed it up a bit. Well, that did not sit well with little Luna. She scratched, she circled, she paced all in a desperate attempt to get the puff pillow back into the same exact shape that it was in before the dreaded fluffing occurred.

After a few days of hard work, she was able to re-mold the bed around her body. And there will be no more puff ball fluffing for me.

Have a good weekend!

Luna’s Bunny

It's no puffy, but Luna sure does love her little bunny. We bought the bunny with Luna in mind, knowing that she would just love to nibble on on the soft fur on the bunny's belly & face.

She usually seeks out her bunny and plays with it after her evening walk. She chews, nibbles, shakes and flings the little bunny all around the living room.

Luna’s Big Adventure

On Monday night, shortly after we got back from our walk with the pugs, we realized that we had forgotten to run out and get cat food for Cupid earlier in the night. Having about a half hour before the store closed, we headed out and we decided to bring Luna with us. From time to time we try to do things with the pugs individually. And since most of Luna's one on one car trips usually involve a visit to the eye doctor we thought she would enjoy getting to take a field trip to the pet store.

Since we were there for cat food, we headed to the cat section first. Luna didn't seem to care that she was in the cat food section and all the bags of food smelled yummy to her.

After we stocked up on Cupid's food, we went to the dog section, got a few chewies and let Luna explore a bit. Out of all the bones they had on the lower shelf, Luna showed the most interest in this bone. A style of rawhide bone that I don't think she has ever had before. She took one tiny lick and then she was on to bigger and better things.

She patiently waited as we checked out and right before we left, she posed atop the mound of dog food they have piled by the door.

The Messiest Eater in All the Land

I'm not exactly sure what Luna does when I put her food bowl down, but about two seconds after her meal is placed in front of her it looks like her bowl has exploded. We have tried bigger bowls, bowls with higher sides, but no matter what we give her she ends up with food from one side of the kitchen to the other. It is almost like she prefers to eat off the floor. Whatever her preference, it sure doesn't make it easy to keep the kitchen clean.
