Hello OBP readers, this is Ben.  Ok,Benny.  This is my friend Simba. 
Simba??  Where are you going??

GGRRR   (Cupid’s thought).. THAT darn cat is here AGAIN!!

Cats can be so unkind to sweet little pugs wanting to make nice.  Bella has been sucker-swatted on more than one occasion by this pretty-faced black cat who sometimes follows us on our early morning potty-walks.  I’m sad to say she’s no longer the “hail-fellow-well-met” gal she once was, but thrice-burned after all.
Years ago when I had a gorgeous grey tomcat (ToMas) who patrolled our block, there was a pure white cat named TAZ (tazmanian devil) living on the adjoining block of our neighborhood.  They would sit on the corners of their respective “hoods” and have staredowns w/each other.  Yet, despite his tough-guy persona, he was much more of a cuddle-buddy than Bella.  But she IS a pug, after-all - and pugs can be forgiven anything, just because they’re pugs, yes?

Would Benjamin and Simba every play?  Since Cupid doesn’t like Benjamin, I’m sure he likes the fact that Simba does. 

Love the blog and the comments.

Oh no sue :-(  Prayers and thoughts heading your way.  Give Abby a kiss from me and please keep us posted.  HATE when our babies aren’t themselves!  :(

I think something else is going on here.  Simba’s spent some time observing how this household works and has decided it’s time for her to be Owned by Pugs, too!!!

Sue, I hope Abby improves fast : )

I love the way Cupid is staring down Simba, annoyed that she would dare come onto Cupid’s property.  So typical cat.  It’s so great that Benny now has his own cat.  Wonder what Simba is thinking…..

sue, sorry to hear Abby is under the weather.  Life is pretty good until one of our babies gets sick. Our concentration and nervousness is felt in every breath we take then until the illness goes away.  Wishing a swift healing for precious Abby. 

Speaking of an Abby, mine has been (this is indelicate) pooping yellow for the past several days.  I don’t know whether to be concerned or not.  Have any of you had that experience?

Martha, love your post!

Huckle, have never had the yellow poopie issue.  I agree with Sue VDB to give the vet a jingle and see what they say.  Prayers up for all the Abby’s (and all my OBP friends…every day!)!!!

Huckle:  I just googled “yellow poop in dogs”.  It says it can mean an infection/irritation called Giardia - or an inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).  Not to cause you undue alarm - but I think calling your vet would be a good idea.

(sometimes the hypochondriac in me isn’t best served by having Google at my fingertips, however.)

Lmao Mary!, i thought i was the Google Queen!  Prayers for all the unwell little puggers!

Lilo would love to make friends with the neighbours cats, but the one either bit or scratched at me years ago before Lilo. She’s just so curious about them.

Good to hear Corrine. Keep yourself and your puggers (and Cupid too) safe and dry.

Corrine - I wiki’d Port Orange and was hoping that you were on the west coast.  It does look today (Friday) that Irene is taking her temper up the eastern seaborad and that you are ok.  Phew.  So glad for you at least.  What would you do if you had to evacuate?
