Through Her Eyes

I think it would be interesting to see the world through the eyes of a pug. They don't see a leg to a bookcase, instead they see a perfect place to rest their chin.

Hard at Work

So, I have decided to drop the Weekend Warriors theme. It was a fun category, but there were many Saturday nights when I stared blankly at my computer screen wondering what to write about. Since most blog posts just fly right off the top of my head, the Weekend Warriors writers block told me it was time to retire the category.

Sunday posts will continue. However, I'm just not going to start another theme. I'm going to leave things open for now and see what happens.

Enjoy what is left of the weekend!

Flashback

This week's flashback: Playing at the Beach

I can't wait until it cools down a bit so we can start taking the pugs to the beach again.

Wardrobe Malfunction

Good thing we are not regulated by the FCC.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be time to take a nap this weekend. I'm spent!

Take care!

The Cough

Yesterday, at the vet, Sol had a shot that would hopefully help her cough and I think it is working so far. She still has a little coughing fit whenever she gets excited (meal time) or when she barks, but she doesn't seem to be coughing as much when she is just resting.

It's progress at least. It will be interesting to see how things play out leading up to Wednesday.

More Sol kisses coming your way for all your support!

Surgery Cancelled

First, thank you everyone for all the well wishes.

So, where do I even start. Well, when I dropped Sol off for her surgery this morning, I had a sneaking suspicion that it would not be happening today. Sol, had a little cough last Thursday when we took her to the vet. At that point, I didn't really think much of it because she has been prone to coughing / hacking since she we got her.

I mentioned it to the vet and he wasn't overly alarmed. He said it could be acid reflux and gave me instructions on how to proceed.

Well, over the weekend, Sol's cough kept getting worse and worse. So bad that I started to have doubts that she would be ready for surgery today. I even recorded one of her coughing fits to show the vet, just incase she wasn't coughing when I dropped her off this morning.

But, the video proved unnecessary because Sol was coughing at the vet's office this morning. When I dropped her, the vet was not in the office yet, so we proceeded as normal knowing that she would get fully checked out before surgery.

Finally around noon, I talked to the vet and he told me he wanted to hold off on surgery for now and treat Sol's cough.

Why is Sol coughing? Well at this point we aren't sure. There could be a whole slew of reasons why and they run the gamut from easily treatable to very serious.

So we are starting with the easiest, least invasive treatment. Sol was prescribed some meds to help reduce inflammation that is hopefully causing her cough. She has another surgery appointment for next Wednesday. At that time, if her cough is gone, she will have her mammory tumors removed. If the cough still has not gone away, she will be sedated so they can do a scope of her throat & trachea area to see if there are any abnormalities.

Thank you all for going on this roller coaster ride with us. Your support means the world to us. And don't worry, we have bottled up all your well wishes and are saving them for next Wednesday.

Update: Also, I forgot to mention it, but Sol is back home and snoring away at my feet. The first thing she wanted to do when she got home was eat. The second was sleep
