chomp chomp




whenever mommie or daddie are working from home, i do all i can to distract and entertain them. Here i am wrapped in a cashmere scarf and eating a piece of grass i found. I'm good at foraging.

eyes wide shut




i made it through the holidays, just barely. I had to take a snooze. it's been a rough couple a weeks. two days before xmas, i had to have an eye ulcer removed. I had never had anesthesia before and really didn't know where mommie and daddie were taking me that morning. i guess i had gotten a scratch on my eye and it never healed. Anyways, while they were putting me under they also decided to pull a couple teeth as well as discover an ear infection. what a mess i was. It's as if they never took me to the vet before.

mommie was so nervous about having me put under. There can be complications with anesthesia among us pushed in faced dogs (Bracycephalic). My vet, Dr Honhe, at east valley medical, assured mommie that he had done many pugs and frenchies sucessfully. The trick is a lighter dosage of anesthesia as well as making sure the breathing tube is kept in until i fully come to after the procedure. Not all vets know this. No wonder i never got my teeth cleaned till now.

I would say "phew" but i can't talk and i am missing two front teeth.
