Last week, I joked about Luna getting Botox to take care of the wrinkles on her neck. Well, last night I was flipping through the book “Why do dogs drink out of the toilet?” while watching the American Idol boys and came across a question asking about plastic surgery for dogs or what they refer to as “Bowser Botox.”
It turns out that Botox for pooches isn’t too far fetched. Breeds that often have wrinkly faces, such as Pugs, Bulldogs, Shar-Peis and Pekingnese, often develop a problem where facial folds cause the eyelashes on their lower eyelids to fold into the eye. This can be quite painful and if not treated can even result in vision loss. The most popular way to treat this is currently via a surgical procedure, but it turns out that Botox has been used to also solve the problem. Who knew?

It didn’t take long before Luna got the whole diva routine down. We got her a new pink, fleece hoody to help keep her warm on chilly mornings and as soon as we put it on her, she added a little strawberry yogurt to her chin to complete the outfit. She wasn’t sure if the two shades of pink were going to go when she first saw the coat at the store, but once she got the coat home to her food bowl she knew she had the perfect outfit on her hands.

This weekend, the mornings were a tad chilly for Florida standards. So after, their morning walk, we had a little bit of fun wrapping the pugs up in some blankets to warm them up. Benny thought his ducky might be a little cold as well, so he brought that with him.
Henry was the least cold of the three, but since he isn’t much of a morning person he liked being snuggled all in a blanket and getting a chance to get back to sleep.
Luna had a coat on for the walk, but once we got her back inside we took her coat off and got her wrapped up in a cozy blanket. Benjamin decided to join her to help warm her up even more.

Anyone know of some anti-wrinkle cream that will get rid of this chicken neck? I’m so self conscience. Any DVM’s do botox for pooches?

We got the boys as puppies when they were only 8 and 9 weeks old. Baby Benny is actually a week older than Henry but he’s still the “baby.” Henry, however, is a natural leader and far more serious and (sorry Ben but…) intelligent of the 2 boys. It is pretty obvious that they are high maintenance puggies. It is all our fault. We made them that way. When they were little we would hold them all the time, hold their bones for them and give in to their every need.
Finally, however, Henry can chew a bone on his own. Benjamin can, too, but he will do everything in his power to get someone to hold it for him instead. Henry, though, is a big boy and he can do it on his own now.
It definitely goes to show you that how you are raised greatly impacts on what you are like as an adult. You see, Little Luna who has probably never even had a bone in her life until she came here, holds her bone with confidence because she has always had to do things on her own. No one has ever done anything for her. She does not need any help. She has even tackled bones that are bigger than she is! That’s why Henry is the man and Baby Benny will forever be the Baby. Little Luna, well, she’s in a league all her own. She is more like a Cinderella story in a scrappy sort of way.

As a tribute to Valentine’s Day, the pugs would like to recap some of the things that they love.
Benjamin, of course, loves food. Here are some of Benjamin’s finer moments with food. There’s Benny waiting for pumpkin bread. Benny trying to walk off with Luna’s birthday cake and even Benjamin sleeping with his bone. That’s a true pug for you! A pug that loves food!
Then there’s Henry. He isn’t quite as shallow as Baby Benny. Henry loves simple things. Henry is more like a Jimmy Buffet kind of dog. He loves relaxing in the pool in his pug tug and also going to the beach.
Luna, the diva of the trio, has definitely learned to love the finer things in life. Being the girly girl she is, she loves her fashion! Luna also has a multiple love of birthday parties. There’s cake and couture! What else could a lady need?
Needless to say, though, they also love each other!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! May you and yours feel the love all day everyday!
