In the comments of yesterday’s blog post, Linda had the idea to post a few before and after pictures of Sol. Sol has most definitely been through a lot since she has been with us and much to my surprise she has only been with us for a little over three months. It seems much, much longer than that! (And I mean that in the nicest way.) So, I went through the photos and picked a picture of Sol for each month she has been a part of the OBP pack.
December 2008
Sol came to us on December 29, 2009. There wasn’t much time left in the month, but we did get a few pictures of her when she first arrived. This photo was taken on her 2nd day with us.
January 2009
This picture was taken on January 4, 2009 after Sol had a few more days of OBP livin’ under her belt.
February 2009
This picture was taken on February 24, 2009. At this point we knew about Sol’s cancer. Nine days later she would have a mandibulectomy to remove the tumor from her mouth.
March 2009
This picture was taken on March 6, 2009. Sol had surgery on the 5th and we were able to bring her home the next evening. Hard to believe she had part of her jaw removed the day before.
The next picture was taken on March 20, 2009. Just a few weeks after her surgery and Sol has adjusted perfectly.
April 2009
Taken on April 6, 2009, Sol is sprawled out doing what Sol does best - keeping a close eye on me while I’m in the kitchen.

I know I just posted a few pictures of Sol riding in her pouch, but I couldn’t resist posting another one.
We were out the other day for a walk and we got about 3/4’s of a mile away from home when Sol started slowing down. So we decided it was time to time to put her in her pouch. She was about 10 yards away and as soon as she saw her pouch getting set up for her she sprinted over and stood there wagging her tail. She couldn’t wait to get in! I think the pouch is her preferred method of travel

Putting together the annual Owned by Pugs calendar is one of my favorites parts of the site. However, there is something about going through thousands of photos and cropping and resizing hundreds of pictures for hours on end that makes me a little punchy. From the first year the calendar contest was held, I have always had myself a good laugh at the number of pictures I get that are mainly of a person’s foot with a little pug head in the corner or are more shoe than pug. Heck, once we even got a picture of just feet with no pug in sight. Now, please don’t take this the wrong way. I’m not knocking any of the pictures, I’m just saying they make me laugh. After you have been working on the computer for 12 hours straight and you keep flipping through pictures and the recurring theme is feet instead of pugs, well, it is quite funny.
So when I saw this shot of Benny, it immediately made me think of the calendar contest. Who knows, if I get giddy enough next year this might be the cover
