Thanks Mom For Giving Me Some of Your Precious Time to Blog

Hi friends. Apologies for the gap in posts. Not my wish, but you know these humans, busy, busy, busy. I do think I may have come up with a way to keep them around instead of going to that work place. I mean after all, they are MY full time employees, and I do not endorse moonlighting.

Here's the deal, my right lower eyelid  has been drooping recently. The parents were thinking since I have recently had a quick weight loss on my new food, that maybe my wrinkles were sagging. Yeah, well thank god they don't trust their own logic, who knows where I'd be if that were the case.

It was time for my 6 month ophthalmologist appointment, so Mom whisked me off to see her yesterday afternoon. Turns out I have an ulcer on my beautiful Egyptian eye. The meds I am taking for my Pigmenting Keratitis, in addition to the pain/anti-inflammatory meds for my back were masking my symptoms.

I have new medicine for my eye, and will keep you abreast of any changes, but I plan a full recovery. Of course, I am using this event to make my parents feel guilty for moonlighting. I don't advocate self injurious behavior to manipulate the parents, but it definitely works to my benefit when it does happen.

Now, for some really great news!

Remember Henry?

He has gotten they greatest gift of all for Christmas.

A new family!!!

That's right, he barely spent any time in foster care before his new Mom, a PRoNE volunteer, fell instantly in love with him. A true testament to how special he really is. We all know how difficult it can be for special needs pugs to find their forever homes. He even gets a new brother named Roman. He is a real looker too.

So happy for you buddy!!!

Ta ta for now from the couch. You should have seen Mom and Dad switching couches between the livvy and the den. What a train wreck!

We are enjoying the extra room to all flop in front of the fire together though.

Lots, and Lots of Valentines!!!

And according to the Opthamologist, I'll be able to see them just fine when I get back from my road trip with Roxy and Lucky.

See, before the trip, I had a visit with my eye doctor. She said everything looks good, and my eyes haven't gotten any worse since last year.

Perfect, I'll continue to see everything I need to , and I can pull the pigmenting keratitis card when I don't feel like walking down the stairs in the dark and stuff.

The best part of the trip, was a stop for secret meat.

On the way home from the vet, Mom and I had a date with the King.

The Burger King that is!

I got to have a whole burger to myself!

No sharing!

nom, nom, nom

So delicious!!!

The best part is that nobody else knows. It was just me and Mom. While the minions at home ate kibble, I feasted on M-E-A-T!

As great as it was, however, I did decide to decommission the car after that trip.

I decided that I need a more stylish ride. So a couple of days after our liaison with the King, the car bit it.

New sporty ride will be shared in a future post, once I can get my scent deep into the leather, heated seats.

Oops, just realized this isn't a very PETA friendly post, sorry. No buckets of blood please.

Anyway, like I stated in the title, Mom reports lots and lots of Valentines waiting for me and Brigitte, when we get home.

Her and Sluggo are making a Valentines tree with them.

Ours were just mailed out yesterday, so look for them to hit your mailboxes soon!

Peace out.

In addition to inviting you for a peek inside my world, I also want to this blog to provide the reader some enlightenment involving some of the traits of the magnificent breed known as the pug. So now and again I will share with you my personal experiences with such quirks. Today we'll talk about eyes.

You see the pug loves pigment. We like to deposit little bits of it in random places on our bodies. I have a virtual constellation of little brown " beauty marks" all over my belly. Another place I have a collection is over my corneas. Not a place I would have chosen, but I had to learn a while back that, believe it or not, there are some things that are out of my control. My Mom and Dad do all they can to take care of  this issue, because this pigment can cause big problems with my vision.  I see a veterinary opthamologist who has Mom apply a couple of different drops in my eyes every day to help slow down this process. I don't mind the drops cuz after she's done I get treats. I also had an eye lift a few years back. A diva's gotta do what a diva's gotta do for the sake of vanity. ( At least thats how Mom described it to get me to go along. The doctor was describing some kind of inverted eyelid causing irritation that in turn causes the pigment to deposit ) All I know is that  it got the parents to spend more money on me, and thats what I'm all about. We'll save those details of that axiom for another post though.

So yesterday was my 6 month check up. Mom and I went down to Norwalk for the appointment. We went shopping, got coffee, and met lots of  fans. (I prefer to sniff around Fairfield County than the Valley, but if we lived there, Mom and Dad wouldn't have as much dough to spend on me. So I compromise) It was good news in that my eyes haven't gotten any worse. The doctor began talking about injections into my eye that may or may not help. We beat feet it outta there when she started on that tip. Mom called Dad when we were done and she told him my behavior was the worst it's ever been. I'm proud to say, mission accomplished! I don't like it when they start poking around and shining lights in my eyes, and I made sure to let them know. Don't get me wrong, my eye doctor is the best in the state, but I much prefer my beloved veterinary accupuncturist to her. I'll be visiting her next month, when I'll tell you all about her.

For those of you who would like more information on my condition I am providing a link for you to look into all the details.Pug Dog Club of America Personally it bores me and it's time to harass Mom for a walk.

Toodles for now,

Wilma
