Benjamin has been having some eye issues of late. He frequently has mucus in his eyes and in the morning he has been waking up with lots of crust around his eyes. To top it off, the whites of his eyes have started to be red and irritated looking.
We decided to take Benny to the eye vet. The same eye vet that Luna has seen for years and who just did Henry's eye surgery. (I guess Benny was feeling left out of the eye exam club). Benjamin had his exam and much to our surprise they diagnosed him with dry eye. It was surprising to us because Luna suffers from a very bad case of dry eye and her eyes actually look dry. Benjamin's eyes, on the other hand, are always moist looking, almost too watery. But it turns out that the quality of Benjamin's tears is poor. So even though his eyes are moist his tears aren't able to properly refresh his eyes. So just like Luna, Benjamin suffers from dry eye.
We left the eye vet with a course of eye drops for Benny that will help with his condition (all different from the drops that Luna takes of course). We have been giving them to him for a few days and have already seen a some progress. He no longer has the crust around his eyes in the morning when he wakes up. Hopefully Benny will be feeling better soon.

The other day I posted a picture of Henry and how he rides in style to the vet. Well, this is how Benny chills in the car when he is going to the vet.
Last week, we took Benjamin to the eye vet for a checkup (more on that to come) and this is how he rode on the way home. His eye exam really tuckered him out.

This picture was taken in May 2006.
This picture could be the scene stolen from one of the many romps Benjamin, Henry and Luna used to have in their younger years. Benjamin is indeed chewing on Henry's hind leg. Ben was forever doing that. I guess it was payback for Henry always dragging him around by his luscious face wrinkles.
And while Ben is chewing on Henry's leg, Henry is taunting Luna who is looking way too innocent. Most of the time, Luna was the catalyst that usually got these romps started.

The other day, I decided to take Henry outside and give him one more chance to potty before I left for work. It was a gorgeous morning and the sun was shining bright. I was feeling optimistic, when Henry quickly trotted down the driveway and started smelling the tree. Then he turned away and plopped right down in the sun. He had no intention of budging, until he got his morning dose of vitamin D.

As soon as the lawn mower stops, the pugs pitch a fit to be let outside to inspect the freshly cut grass. Once we finish with all the cleanup we let them out. With all the fuss they raised wanting to be let out, you'd think they would be happy to lay in the freshly cut grass, but most of the time they wander right out of our yard to our neighbors and hang out in their longer grass. Go figure! But, on this occasion, they all took a moment to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
