Big Day
Last week, on the holiday Monday, Henry had a big day! First, we took a long walk around our neighborhood. He is working on navigating his way around again now that he cannot see. While his pace was pretty slow, we are so proud of him since he finished the whole walk without getting confused, having to be carried or even getting frustrated. The walk, that would have taken the 3 puggers about 20 minutes to complete back in the day, took him about one hour but boy oh boy were we ever proud of the little man. He did a bang up job.
After that we had to run to the vet's office to pick up some refills of a couple meds he was running low on. Then, it was on to go get gas. It was our lucky day! It was a mere $1.99 a gallon. So, we got a fill up for $17.47. Woohoo! The next stop was the car wash. (It had been a while since the car had been washed so we really could not put that off any longer or we'd have neighborhood children finger painting in the dirt the words, "wash me!")
Finally, once home post errands, there was yard work to be done. It was at this point that Henry had decided that he had had enough. He parked himself inside and napped as the people tended to the outdoor tasks. Even though he didn't pull any weeds, or even so much as "water" the lawn, he still had a big productive day (and a long rest time after that).
He is a good good boy. #HenryStrong

Indeed #HenryStrong. So it took longer; that’s not the point. the point is he maneuvered the walk without any help. I can relate. My hip, except for cold and change in weather, is doing well since I broke it in June, 2014, but I am dealing with wounds on both feet. It takes me longer to get dressed as I have to clean, medicate and dress 3 wounds. I am slower, but I am still mobile, so Henry pug hugs and kisses to you sweetheart.
