In addition to her nose job, Luna also got a haircut last week.

They shaved a big spot on her back so they could inject dye for her CT Scan.
Overall, Luna is doing very well since her surgery. Her breathing is noticeably better. I am really surprised how much she already appears to have benefited from the breathing surgery.
Her shaky legs and troublesome neck appear to be about the same. It is hard to tell if the medicine is making much of a difference at this point. But, we are keeping a close eye on her so that we have lots to report to the neurologist when Luna goes back in a few weeks for her checkup.

It has only taken him 9 years, but Henry has finally started to put a dent in his kong. Henry loves to get a peanut butter filled kong and he will lick and chew on the kong for hours one end. He only chews on the kong after he has gotten all the peanut butter out from inside. I think, he thinks, that if he chews on the kong he can crack it open and get every last drop of peanut butter out from inside. He has been trying for 9 years to crack open the kong and he is finally getting one step closer. You can now see his teeth marks. Progress....

Happy Memorial Day from the pugs!
The pugs were happy to sit for a few pictures then I think they heard someone shout that the burgers were ready!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I think this is her way of asking us to open the blinds. You got to love the little girl!
Enjoy the weekend everyone!

I never get tired of seeing this bag of wrinkles draped over the arm of the sofa. Benny has certainly claimed this arm of the sofa as his own. Actually, all the pugs prefer to be against the arms of the sofa. So, if you ever come to visit just know that you are going to be stuck with the middle seat on the sofa.

Looney Tunes is back home and resting well. We are so happy to have her home.
We learned a lot with our appointment with the neurologist. Luna will be meds for the next two weeks and we are to keep her activity to a minimum, however, she doesn't have to be on bed rest. Luna can go for a short walk each evening, which should help keep her from bouncing off the walls.
It will be a few days before Luna is a 100% percent but so far she is doing well.

Luna came through her breathing surgery with flying colors. The vet called and gave us an update at 5pm and told us that Luna was out of surgery and awake and looking around. She was alert and seemed to be in good spirits. Her only issue is that she had a noisy neighbor 
During her breathing surgery they shortened her soft palate, widened her nostrils and removed her saccules.
We also received the results of her CAT Scan. The test revealed that Luna has a prolapsed disc in her neck and two prolapsed discs in back. Surgery is not recommended at this time and we meet with the neurologist tomorrow afternoon when we pickup Luna to go over a treatment plan. I'm not sure what the plan is going to be, but I sure do not want it to be 6 weeks of keeping Luna still. To me, that doesn't seem like a feasible option.
I will let you know more after we pickup Luna. I sure can't wait to have the little girl back home with us!
