We had a very nice, but low key Fourth of July weekend. Benny is still on the mend and we spent a lot of time with the pugs just relaxing around the house.
Benjamin had some expected inflammation from his surgery. He sounded like a very congested pug. As the weekend went on, the inflammation went down, which meant Benny's mood and energy level went up. And even though he was feeling a bit better he really wasn't well enough to do anything. He picked himself out a bone that we had to take away because bones don't fall under the soft food category. He scratched on the door to go outside, but was disappointed when we didn't take him for much of a walk. By Monday night Benny was fed up with us following doctor's orders and he was a cranky mess, pacing around the house, desperately trying to find something to do. So we pulled out one of our Solsey tricks and took the pugs for a car ride. This was exciting to Benny, but did not get him bouncing off the walls so it worked well.
We are still supposed to keep Benny quiet for the next few days, but at this point Benny is as well rested as a pug can get. His batteries are fully charged. Depending on how he does today, I may try and take him on a short walk to the corner and back to see how he does. I think that would perk Benny up a bit. I don't think he can handle being cooped up on the house much longer. After all, he has grass to smell and trees to mark.

Getting the pathology results on Friday helped us enjoy the holiday weekend. Benny started feeling better and was almost back to himself and after just one day of Luna's new eye drop, we started to see an improvement in her eye. Both of those things were very relieving and helped make for a relaxing weekend.
Good news, good friends, family and fun. Those were the ingredients of our much needed and much enjoyed holiday weekend.

The pugs have been resting up this week, preparing themselves for a visit from G-Ma. They need to make sure they are well rested because it is exhausting being spoiled and eating all those extra treats that G-Ma is sure to bring. Plus, they had to get their G-Ma's day card this week. Tiring, tiring stuff. A pug's job is never done.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

We didn't get a chance to snap a picture of the pugs in their snazzy St. Patrick's Day bandanas, so I thought the next best thing would be to show the pugs enjoying one of their favorite green things - the grass (or what is left of it after an unusually chilly FL winter).
Enjoy the day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This is pretty much how the pugs rang in the new year last night. I guess they wanted to make sure they were well rested for 2010.
So far we are off to a rainy start here in Central Florida. I was hoping to get in a nice walk with the pugs today, but it doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate. And after it stops raining it is going to be quite chilly here. But, curling up with the pugs on the couch and listening to the rain doesn't sound like a bad idea either.
I hope you had a fun and safe New Year celebration. Happy New Year!

As you read this, G-Ma & G-Pa are making the drive from Maryland to Florida. The pugs love it when G-Ma & G-Pa come to visit because their level of spoiledness jumps to a whole new level. G-Ma is always quick to dole out the treats and G-Pa has a nice big truck that the pugs love to ride in.
With all the action of next week, posting is going to be pretty light and fluffy around here. I'm going to mainly be posting pictures of the pugs and will most likely be pretty light on stories. Things will get back to normal the week after Christmas.
From all of us here in the OBP household, I hope everyone out there has a very happy and safe holiday season!
