Two years ago today we said goodbye to Sol. This is a milestone that I was worried about because it means that Sol has now been gone longer than she was with us.
While we only had 15 months to share with Sol, I know that she lived a full life and I am even prouder that her memory lives on with the Central Florida Pug Rescue's Sol Sunshine Memorial Fund.
So far over $2,300 has been raised to help the hospice pugs of Central Florida Pug Rescue. And if those pugs are anything like Solsey, which I know they are, they are living out their golden years in grand style. And that is because of the loyal OBP readers. Your support of Sol, Benjamin, Henry and Luna over the years has been tremendous and I can't thank you enough for helping the memory of Solsey live on through your generous donations.
Say what you want about pug people, but they are some of the nicest and caring people I know. Thank you for supporting Sol. I don't have words to express how grateful I am for all your support.

Benjamin is never satisfied to leave any pillow in its original position. He has never met a pillow he hasn't "fluffed".

Looking forward to your captions in the comments.

Benjamin and Henry must have watched too much of the Daytona 500 when Nascar swept through town a few weeks ago because after their walk at one of our favorite parks, they were pretty insistent that they drive.
Where is Luna in all of this? In the backseat where she is supposed to be waiting to be buckled in. At least 1 out of the 3 is behaving

After about 15 minutes at the dog park, you can usually find Benny deep in thought. What is he pondering? I imagine he is thinking, "Hmmm…what haven't I peed on yet?"
Have a great weekend!

Last week I made a comment that the hole in Luna's ear was becoming more noticeable as the fur on her ear was graying. I saw that Mary C then questioned (in the "What Say You?" area) if I worried that Luna would get a toenail caught in that little hole. Well, that made me realize that I should write a blog about that very issue.
This has, in fact, happened one time. It was very scary for sure. Luna was scratching her ear with her front paw (oddly enough as they almost always scratch with their rear paws) when suddenly we noticed that she was tangled within herself and one of her nails was indeed caught in that little hole. We had to act quickly and bend her paw to her head more closely so as to unloop her ear from her foot. Truthfully we did start to panic a bit because we had been long concerned that this very thing would at some point happen and that she would catch her nail and slice her ear clean through.
(Excuse my gagging as I write this because the mere thought of this is extremely disturbing to me and I literally gag a little bit each time I consider the consequences of her getting her nail caught in there.....)
Anyway, this happened this one time and not since then. We regularly ponder the best method of how to seal up that little hole. We thought about everything from snapping a snap through it to covering it with a band aid or a piece of tape. Anything we considered seemed like it would just draw more irritation to her thus encouraging her to scratch it, loosening whatever device we implanted there and ultimately causing her to then more seriously get a nail snagged in the hole. No solution seemed to be an adequate remedy. So, we have opted to just leave it alone and hope for the best.
While we crafted a raised food bowl to accommodate for her slipped disks in her neck and back we have not been able to devise a perfect workaround for her ear hole concern. Any ideas from the peanut gallery?

I'm not sure who enjoys sleeping in on Saturday mornings more, me or Luna. On second thought, I don't think there is anyone that enjoys sleeping in more than me.
Unfortunately, though, there was no time for catching extra shut eye this weekend. We were busy, busy, busy the entire weekend
