Sidney's First Road Trip

 On the 21st of December, my Aunt Vicky celebrated her 90th birthday at Bob's Inn in Murrysville. We all survived the 6 hour trek to Pittsburgh. Burr, the temperature was in the low teens. Sidney was a real trooper. He was a perfect angel: quiet during the car ride and behaved perfectly in the hotel room. Jasper is an old pro at traveling and he loves to show his little brother the ropes. 

Good News

I'm thrilled. The pathology report concerning Jasper's growth on the back of his neck, side of his neck, and palate are not cancer. His teeth and gums are healing nicely. Now I need to maintain good oral health. So twice a day I'll be spraying Vetzlife into Jasper's mouth to keep the plaque at bay. I'll continue to put Oxyfresh into his drinking water.

Where's The Teeth

Jasper had dental surgery on Dec. 4th. A total of 6 teeth were removed. It hasn't affected his appetite. He lives for food. He also had two growths removed from his neck and one from his palette. They were sent off to pathology and I'm waiting for results. Thankfully he has pain meds to help him cope. His little brother, Sidney, doesn't understand. Sidney just wants to play with him.

Pugs & Buns Enrich My LIfe

Today thinking about Bailey. Remembering his special qualities: Best Kisser, lived to please me, excited about training, loved me with his entire being, easy to train, a blast to be with, comical, gentle spirit, loved people, an exuberance for life, a superb companion, best buddy to Jasper, and never a mean bone in his body. Just watch how gentle he is with the bunnies. Follow the link Snack Time For Pugs & Buns to view this special friendship.

Elephant Ear

Yuck. Throw up. I was awaken this morning to Jasper throwing up on my tummy. Boy, I was shocked to discover it was an elephant ear. I guess my mom will listen to me now about putting up his toys when she leaves the house. Thank God that it didn't cause a blockage where surgery would have to be performed. I couldn't bear losing him after losing my precious Bailey.

New Family Member

Our new pug boy, Sidney,  arrived on October 11, 2008. He was 8 months old on November 8th. He has been learning how to play tug, sit, retrieve, twirl, spin, touch, walk on a loose leash, wait, and come.  Getting him to lay down on command has been a challenge. His big brother, Jasper, just loves to clean his face and privates. They enjoy snuggling together and chasing each other.
