Glamour Shots - Make Sure You Get My Good Side..

Mom gots our pictures taken the other day at a pup event we went to for the Alabama Pug Rescue Group. The lady said we were very good girls, but don't they have to say that? Anyhow, we think they turned out ok. Coco didn't want to sit down, and I had trouble not slicking my ears back. They blew some bubbles at us..what the heck? We had never seen those before, and let me tell you they did not taste good.

Let's just say that the group shots were lacking, so the bubble pic was the best out of the group.

Glaucoma..Just go on and wheel me to Denny's

Friends, I got some not-so-great news yesterday. I have GLAUCOMA in my left buggy eye. See, mom has had a feeling for a few months that something was wrong with my eye. Dad took me to the vet and had it checked for scratches, but they said it was fine. Long story short, we went back and insisted on further tests and got the verdict.
It is in the very beginning stages, and the vet man said that he can't believe we noticed it so early. A Mother knows!!!
Boo. Mom has cried, and I had to get a bunch of tests where they prodded my eye-ball. Maybe Andy Cohen can cheer us up...
I told her she could even post this goofy pic of me in the cone of shame. Take note, I do NOT have to wear one, we just tried one on in case of emergency.
Here's the deal: Due to catching this as early as humanly possible, we can treat the glaucoma with drops twice a day, and hopefully keep it from progressing (though there are no guarantees). I really am not affected by it very much at this point other than my eye looking red, and not seeing well at night. Gotta watch my other eye like a hawk to make sure we catch any warning signs.
Coco was sad for me too, but we are all determined to keep things in perspective. There are so many pups out there with horrible injuries/conditions and my little problem doesn't even compare. Heck, we have even met some pups who don't have any eyeballs at all! They do just fine and are happy.

Note from Mom: I am happy to do anything necessary to take care of my baby Kitty. We got her one month after we got married, and she is really like our child. She is happy and playing like usual, so I know she is feeling fine. Even if she loses vision she will learn to cope, the only thing I am worried about are the migraines that result from glaucoma for pups since a pup won't really let you know they are in pain. Any advice from you guys would really put my mind at ease. Thanks!

Sorry for the monstrous post..

A Day at the Dog Park..

We just found a new dog park in our area and it is the bomb diggity! Yeah, who knows what the heck the bomb diggity means but mom says it was a quintessential saying from the 90's. This park is very nice, with nice doggies and sections for big and little pups fenced in all safe-like.
Here's my friend Harry hanging with Dad on the tunnel (notice not IN the tunnel). This park has agility stuffs for us to play on. We pretended we were like our blogger pal Brutus!
Awww..nice pic of me and my daddy.
Coco was very brave and lead the pack..Onward!
Hahaha. Pug butt. I'm still not going through there. Sorry mom.
I love my tennis ball, but not enough to go up that wall. NOPE.
Wassssuuuuuuppppp. I gots the foamy mowf from the dirt and chasing my ball. Give me a kiss!
I am not exactly allowed to have a tennis ball at home because a) I rip it apart in about 30 seconds, and b) I become obsessed and wake my pawrents up in the middle of the night to play.
Our pals Harry and Lulu came along too. Aren't they just the cutest pugs? Lulu and Coco are very similar in personality.
Want to play? Huh?? Anyone??????????

Hope you peeps had a great weekend.

Just Barely Making It For Wordless Wednesday..

Don't you just love doggy couture!

Our Peep Wilma the Birthday Girl!!

We missed our Sunflower Girl Wilma's big Barkday, so we are sending a shout out to you tonight!

Oh the Butts We Sniffed...

Follow us. We are at Aldridge Gardens and ready for a good time. There better be someone giving out treats here...
Look! A pug right at the gate. This is a good sign.
What up girlfriend?
Nice to meet you. Can you believe that Minnie's mom asked if I was a pug mix? She said I was too lean and tall for a pugger. HMPF! I mean, do you see my curly tail?
Kitty thought this sign was hilarious!!
As a matter of fact, we did really like this big mutt named Pacino. He was 80 lbs of awesomeness. I begged mom to take him home but she wouldn't let me.
The family pic by the giant hydrant.
Guess who was there at the event...Harry, Lulu and Heather! Boy oh boy was it hard to get everyone looking at the camera.
Bahaha. Yappy Hour. It seems that my butt was extra popular.
Coco is totally hiding behind me.
Make yourself at home!

Didn't I tell you my butt was popular? Or maybe poopular.. Anyway, this HUGE Mastiff was a nice guy too.
Hope you enjoyed the million pics we shared. We are still recovering. Can you say doggy hangover?

Doggy Ambien

In about two minutes we will be sawing logs.




It is a proven fact among us bloggers that the car seat causes a drug-like sleeping effect. Here's your evidence. (Mom says thank you Lord).

Root Root Root Like Little Pigs

LOOK! MOM SORTED THE LAUNDRY!!!
IT IS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG.
MUST RUB MY FACE ALL OVER..
COCO GET YOUR OWN PILE TO ROLL IN!
What the heck is it about the laundry that they have to root around and roll in it like crazy?? They get that wiley eye and turn into crazed pups.

Give Us a Big Ol' Kiss (But We're Not Irish)

Yes, of course we are wearing crap on our head. Did you really think Mom would let an opportunity pass by?
Please excuse the wrinkled sheet. It is hard to iron with a paw.
Coco had enough.
Treat? Yeah, I guess I'll look at the camera. Make it quick though.. I wore this headband just for my crush Oakley.
Miss Pouty Poutersons.
Check out this scowl from Coco! Dang with the 'tude.
Get a load of my chin mom. Hope you enjoy it because I'm not looking at you.
I demand a pupachino, a curly bully and a shamrock stuffie as payment for my modeling.
Take this annoying beads!!
