Thyroid
Last week the pugs made a trek to the vet. Each was visiting for various reasons (more on that later). Benny was in to have blood work done. We got the results a few days later and everything looked normal except his thyroid is a little low. When I got the news, I thought this explains a lot.
Benny has slowed down a lot lately. Granted he is 10 now, but compared to Henry he is a complete couch potato. He also seems to have picked up a pound to two (or maybe three) and his feeding routine has not changed at all.
I chalked it up to him getting older, but his thyroid could certainly play a part in all of this. Don't get me wrong, his age probably plays the biggest factor in his recent energy level and unexpected weight gain, but getting his thyroid back to normal levels will certainly help.
Benny boy heads back to the vet in about 6 weeks for another blood test to see if the dosage for his meds is correct and to see if his thyroid function has improved to normal levels with the help of his medicine.

FL Weather
Our 1000 pugs shoot was fantastic and our trip to Miami was so much fun that we really would like to do it again. The only thing we didn't get to do was meet Puglet while we were in Miami. Puglet was in town, but he was having a little trouble handling the south Florida weather. Word was that he was melting in the FL heat, so we didn't get to meet the original pug super model.
I guess the heat and humidity of FL is quite a shock to someone that is used to the weather on the left coast. I talked to several other FL pug owners there for the shoot and we were quite pleased that it was as cool as it was. Our shoot time was at 1pm so I was super worried about how hot it would be for Benjamin, Henry & Luna. It was hot, but luckily it wasn't as bad as it could have been .
Fingers crossed that if I ever cross paths with Amanda again that we will get to meet Puglet.

Luna’s Photo Shoot
I always knew Luna was a little diva, but I had no idea how much of a diva she really was until she got in front of Amanda's lens. I almost fell over and hit the ground when I saw how much Luna was turning on the charm.
For me, Luna is the hardest of the bunch to photograph. She is always very wiggly and she always walks right up to the camera lens. But for Amanda, Luna wasn't wiggly at all. And she was like, here get a few pics of my good side and have a showed you how cute my ears are when I do this? I was so very proud of her! She super modeled her curly tail off.
But now, I am going to have higher expectations for the little miss because she has revealed her true super model talents.

Henry’s Photo Shoot
Henry was his cool, laid back self for Amanda. He did an awesome job listening and posing for Amanda. I felt so bad for Henry though because he was very squinty. The sun was way to bright for his sensitive eyes.
Like a true super model, he took it all in stride and struck his best poses and did his very best. He is not going to let a little bright sunshine come between him and treats.
I had the highest expectations for Henry because he is the best listener of the three and he did not disappoint! He's a good boy!

Benny’s Photoshoot
Sunday finally arrived and it was the anticipated 1000 Pugs photo shoot day at the Wynwood arts district in Miami. Seriously, I can not tell you how excited I was for our photo shoot. It was so much fun!
Benjamin took an immediate liking to Amanda, the 1000 pugs photographer. It didn't hurt that she had a trunk full of treats and that she has a treat pouch attached to her waist. All 3 of the pugs were parked at her trunk while she loaded up her pouch with goodies.
The pugs took turns posing for Nikon and Benny got to go first. At first, he was all over the place. He was having a little bit of trouble concentrating because there were treats that he felt he needed to rescue from the treat pouch. But, he eventually settled in and struck his best super model poses.
It was so much fun for me to watch Amanda work with Benny and see a few of her photographer tricks. It was also neat to watch Benny. There were a few times I thought, he never does that for me!
