Improvising

What do you do with a pug that has strict orders to take it easy, but is just itching to go for a walk? You take him for a ride in the Solsey mobile. A stroller that Solsey hated by the way. She much preferred to use her pouch.

The pugs also have something very special to look forward to this weekend. G-Ma is coming for a visit!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

On the Mend

I am very happy to report that Benny's tail was back in its regularly curled position yesterday. After a great night's sleep and a very restful day, Benny was feeling much better. He still has some soreness, but overall he is doing much better. Now, the tricky part is keeping him still until Sunday. The vet's orders was to restrict his activity until next week. That means no walks, no running, no jumping and not too much milling around the house. The better he feels, the harder it is to keep him quiet. But, I much rather have the problem of trying to keep him still than to see his little tail uncurled.

Dislocated

Benny Update: Sorry for the delay in getting a Benny update posted. We took Benny in to see our normal vet today and get another check on his shoulder. The good news is that everything looks good. Our regular vet had a look at Benny's x-rays and said his bones look strong and joints look great. His shoulder popping out of place was more than likely just a fluke.

Other than his trip to the vet, Benny mainly rested. While his shoulder is back in place, he is still very sore. He has a little bit of limp, but mainly he is just tired and groggy. The hardest part for me is seeing his tail uncurled. It just breaks my heart.

For the next 5 days we need to restrict his activity. Which, so far, hasn't been that hard. He has been happy resting on his pile of pillows. Hopefully, tomorrow he will be a bit less sore.

Thanks for all your support! We appreciate all your kind wishes for Benny!

Last night on our walk, Benny dislocated his shoulder. How he did it we are not exactly sure. He was walking out of the grass to the sidewalk and the next thing we know his arm is at a 90 degree angle to his body. He was howling in pain and we got him to the emergency vet as quickly as possible.

When we arrived at the emergency vet, he got a rush of adrenaline and managed to pop his shoulder back in place. This made things better, but he was still pretty uncomfortable. He was pretty restless in the evening as well.

I will keep you updated as best I can.

Sundays

Sunday mornings are filled with the newspaper, big cups of tea, scrabble games and snoring pugs.

Blooper

I'm not exactly sure what Luna is doing in this picture. Looks like she is sorta licking and barking at the same time. Taking pictures in rapid succession is good for action shots and it is also great at catching people and pugs in awkward positions.

Have a great weekend!

Tiny Toon

The little gray lady keeping an eye on her brothers. The funny thing is the boys try and one up each other and be the last to pee on something around the yard. But, Luna always wins that game. She patiently waits for the boys and then struts over and pees on whatever had caught the boys' interest last. She always wins. The boys have pretty much given up and know they will never win against the little alpha female
