The pugs are a little disappointed as of late. They have trimmed the tree and wrapped the presents, but there has been no sign or smell of all the yummy holiday treats that everyone talks about. They want to know where are the holiday feasts and yummy holiday desserts? When it comes time to get volunteers for help with all the holiday snacks, I know I will have 3 enthusiastic volunteers for that job.

While Luna was in charge of supervising present wrapping, Benjamin and Henry had the task of monitoring the tree trimming. They were only semi interested in the decorating part, but as soon as the tree was trimmed they wanted to know where their presents were. Patience pugs, patience.

We kicked butt with Christmas shopping last weekend which meant that this week was full of wrapping. And you know the pugs have to supervise. So, Luna, insisted I put her bed on the pool table I setup as my wrapping table. She made sure that no present went without a little bow or holiday cheer 
Have a good weekend!

Well, I wanted to touch base on the status of Benjamin’s medical issues. (He signed the HIPAA waiver, so I have permission for those that were concerned about me infringing upon his legal rights.);)
After much back and forth between our usual vet and the eye vet(s), the current diagnosis is a combination of dry eye and allergies. I say eye vets because we have now seen each of the 3 specialists that practice at the AVS location we visit.
Benny is being medicated for seasonal allergies (he pops a human Claritin daily) and he will go the end of this week for one more trip to the eye specialist to get his 6 month treatment plan. His maladies have seemed to have settled down. No face swelling. The licking and scratching have appeared significantly less. The true bonus is that his chest x-rays came back normal.
The unusual thing about the diagnosis of dry eye, is it is the same problem Luna suffers from, but not really the same at all. Benny produces tears. Luna does not produce tears on her own. Benny’s problem is the quality of his tears. Thus, even though he produces tears, his eyes would still be considered dry. Seemed very odd to me at first but I guess I get it now.
So, this is where we are with Baby Benny. I must say that I have also been living up to most of my end of the deal with better upkeep of the ear cleaning and wrinkle cleaning. Toenail trimming, while better is still a sore spot. During his procedure of the anesthetized ear cleaning, the vet saved me some specimens of what he removed.
Funny, even though his ears are clean, he doesn’t seem to listen any better. 
He definitely has very selective hearing, I would say. He is continues to live up to his aging man nickname of Solsey Benny! (Of course this is said the way we used to say Solsey Baby!)

From time to time the pugs have a little fireside chat amongst themselves. Benny didn't go full howl on this one, but you can hear a little bit of his patented howl. And the pug with the menacing growl heard in the background. Well, that's Luna.

Looking forward to your captions in the comments.
PS: For the curious, this crazy cone did not last long. A day tops and then it was back to the old school cone of shame.
