This morning, the little girl went in to get her teeth cleaned. I absolutely hate having them have any type of procedure that requires them to be sedated, but as the doctor let us know it is really in her best interest to keep her teeth as clean and healthy as possible. So we dropped her off this morning without her breakfast. She was most upset about not getting her breakfast. And, as far as she knows, Benjamin, Henry & Cupid are starving right along with her today. We waited to feed them until after Luna left.
So, I am off to worry and work. I can’t wait until this afternoon when I can pick that little rugrat up.
Update: Luna is out of surgery. She is slowly waking up. We can pick her up late this afternoon.
Luna is a hoot when she catches a smell of something that she would like to claim as her own. She almost always paws at the spot and then flips herself on her back so she can rub her neck all over it. She’ll do this on the grass, the sidewalk and as you will see in the video the rocks in the garden. She especially loves to roll all over dried worms on the sidewalk. I’m not exactly sure what that is all about.
I have been trying to get a video of Luna rolling all around for some time now. This clip is short, she usually spends a lot more time wiggling around, but it gives you an idea of how she just flips herself to the ground.
I ordered a little dress for Luna from Pug Possessed’s Etsy shop. It came in the mail earlier this week and as soon as I got back from the mailbox, I told Luna that there was a special delivery just for her. Of course, the boys were interested too!
Luna was a bit confused at first and thought her gift was a pillow. But after we got it opened she was a bit more excited. Pug Possessed’s Shop has a lot of different dress choices but as soon as I saw this little striped number I knew it was perfect for my sassy little girl! It fits perfectly too because it was created for her exact measurements. After I ordered it, Debbie whipped up a new dress using the same fabric using Luna’s measurements. How nice was that?
For productivity’s sake, I had to stop letting the pugs sit on my lap when I am working. It isn’t so bad when there is just one, but when there is three, well that is a different story.
So to break the news to the pugs, I set out to find them a more comfortable alternative to my lap. Little Luna has taken a liking to sleeping in a little round bed on my desk. I think she likes the fact, that she has the softness of her bed and still gets to be on the desk. She does a good job of staying in the bed too, so I don’t have to worry about her roaming around and causing any trouble, ahem, Benny.
She knows that it is her spot too! As soon as I put the bed on the desk, she is right at my feet waiting for me to pick her up. She circles once or twice and then plops herself down. She gets to be cozy and is only a few inches away from me - a win win for us both.
Since we started talking about the scars on Luna’s back in the comments of yesterday’s post, I thought I would post a picture of Luna’s little, bare chest. I’m not sure if you can tell simply by looking at photos, but the skin on Luna’s chest is quite soft. On her back, the skin, where she is missing fur, is much thicker and firmer (hence scars). For some reason, the hair on Luna’s chest has never really grown back in after she was treated for mange. It is odd, because I have seen dogs that have had mange and are missing all kinds of fur and once they get everything treated their fur grows in as good as new. The dermatologist can’t say why Luna’s fur hasn’t grown back on her chest, but they tell us she is no worse for the wear. Right about now, I think her lack of fur gives her an advantage over the boys in this FL heat.
Both Luna and Benjamin love to snuggle with Henry. I think it is because Henry is not a wiggle worm. Once he gets comfortable he will usually stay put. Then Benjamin & Luna come join him.
I peered out my office door between my monitor screens and saw this the other afternoon. Luna, flat out, soaking up the sun and snoozing. She didn’t used to sleep like this. When we first got her, she always curled up in a little ball and cat napped. She never seemed to go into a deep sleep. Now she sprawls out and drifts off into a very sound sleep. I think she definitely picked up this from Henry. You can usually find him somewhere sprawled out looking like he doesn’t have a care in the world. Benny, he is more of a pillow kind of guy. He isn’t much for laying on the floor.
