As much as the pugs come and go in and out of the yard during the day, we decided to get a doggie door that leads from the screened in part of the yard to the fenced part of the yard for the pugs so that I can can spend more time typing and less time opening and closing the door while I am working. Since I have a pretty clear view of the yard while working, I don't mind if the pugs come and go as they please because I can keep a very close eye on them.
So far the pugs have taken to the door very well. Occasionally they will forget about their new freedom to go in and out on their own and will scratch at the door, but they have been doing that less and less as the days go on.

Here's a shot of Henry not looking very enthused about the new door. "Yup, its a doggie door. Nothing to see here. Move along."

And here is a shot of Luna trotting right through the doggie door.
Where is Sol you ask? Well, Sol still prefers to use the door woman.
And please pardon all the dirt on the pool deck. As soon as the cement we poured to extend the step in the yard dried, the pugs couldn't wait to use the door. We didn't even have time to get the deck cleaned up.

The humans of the house had to return to work today, but the pugs carried on like it was still the weekend.

Luna got to go on a field trip to the eye vet last week for a re-check of the obstructed gland in her eyelid. I was feeling fairly confident that they would not have to drain the gland because it had greatly reduced in size since we started her on the prescribed medication. However, the bump was not 100% gone so I was unsure what they were going to say about that.
Luna's eye doc was pleased with Luna's progress and suggested that we up the NeoPolyDex drops that she gets in that eye from every other day to twice a day. Easy enough. We will do that and in 4-5 weeks Luna gets to go back to see how things are doing.
The only difficult thing has been remembering the new drop schedule. Luna has been on her current schedule for a little over a year now so breaking our routine has been a bit tricky.
Here is Luna's new drop schedule:
- Tacrolimus: 1 drop both eyes, twice a day
- Cyclosporine: 1 drop in the left eye once a day
- NeoPolyDex: 1 drop in the left eye every other day, 1 drop in the right eye twice a day
- Genteal Ointment: At least one drop in the right eye each day. May administer whenever the right eye is looking dry.

No matter how hard I try to be a morning person, there is nothing better than catching a few extra hours of sleep on the weekends. Lucky for me the pugs feel the same way.

I think he is still upset after loosing that blueberry biscuit in the pool yesterday. It might take awhile, but hopefully he will be able to get over it 
Have a good weekend everyone!
