Be Careful what you wish for......................

W has always wanted a pair of glasses..she sometimes wore a pair of fake ones we found at the Dollar store with plastic lenses...then she lost them and though we could just buy the ones they have at the drugstore that are for reading......she didn;t understand that they could hurt her eyes and was upset with me for not allowing her to get them. she just didn't understand that they could harm her eyes....this was about a year ago she went though this stage of I want a pair of glasses........during this past school year her teacher mentioned she has been having headaches often and I know she came home with them a lot too....she still has headaches through out the week so I made a Eye app. for her.....and ??? She thought this was a fun time!
until they put these drops in her eyes to make them numb...then she had to do a lot of testing and it took a LOOOONG time...but she got through it. She tried her best and we found out that she...............


Can you tell by the looks of this picture..she looks sad huh??? so does W need glasses?or do you think she is sad because she doesn't need 'em?????
She does need them..she is near sighted in one eye and far sighted in another....she picked out a cute pair of Glasses but wasn't too found of the idea. she thinks she will get picked on and called 4 eyes.......I explained to her that her eyes have a boo boo and they need glasses...and if you have a cut on your finger and need a Band-Aid you need a band aid to help make the cute better...so think of your glasses being a band~aid for your eyes. she took it a little better with a little understanding. but now I think she is excited because she is counting down the days to the day they come in. she is telling more and more people about them so I think she will be okay with this. I have a cute picture of picking out her glasses but it wont post.....I willbe sure to post her with them on when she gets them................SO becareful what you wish for!

Update on Willow..she seems to be doing better..still not herself. she is eating and drinking and going Pee and Poo she played a little bit today too...so I didn;t bring her to the vet. I guess we all get little bugs that make us feel icky...but if she is still not herself I will be sue to contact her vet. she is such a cuddle Pug toady.......

Feel better Willow...........


We have noticed Willow has not been herself today....she has been having a lot of the Inverted reversed sneezes alot today with coughing and junk in her throat. she also has fur standing up on end along her spine as if she see is scared of something. Now at 11:30 at night she is trembling off and on? Hummm makes me a bit on the edge more now that she is trembling...... I put her in bed with us around 10:30 and I noticed her trembling more than before....so here I sit Googling symptoms on this behavior as Willow rests beside me. I found nothing really on this....she seems to be better at the moment. I wonder if she got into something she shouldn't of.....or if it is something she found in the trash at the Camper....or if something is stuck in her throat? Has anyone experienced like this with their fur kids? I just worry maybe to much. I am one of those neurotic Pug Owners who want the best for them. Maybe I worry too much maybe it is nothing.....But I will call the vet tomorrow morning if she is still acting like this....also do any of my Pug Friends Pug's have reversed sneezing often? you know what I mean right??? when they struggle to inhale air thought their nose like it is plugged up and make a funny noise? Willow does this often but not like today she has done it like 10 times today...


Up date Willow seems to have stopped trembeling......she must be having a happy dream. :0)

Naughty Puggies...........

I think Willow and Belle wanted to join us...This is what we came home to at the camper.................

We went to the lake for a few days which was kind of a flop...it rained or should I say torrential rain! we stayed Thursday through Late Saturday night....( Because the lake had a event we didn't want to miss. ( this will be another post maybe....) but the Pugs sure did had a way to let us know that they were upset that we didn't let them attend the event with us. What do you think????Besides I think they were sick of being cooped up inside all the time. they only went out to go potty.....Icky weather made it a not so fun weekend..... Willow and Belle did have a nice day to play on the deck their Daddy built this week. It was a nice day on Thursday so here are a few pictures of them Thursday.........

Belle and Willow playing................Like Willow's Undies???? I didn't think she would of likes her privates exposed on the Internet so I make her a pair on M.S. Paint shop......
Willow and Belle playing with W..........

Phewww It is HOT out!

Okay as you know I bought Willow a Pug Float and she loves it! Belle was not able to try it out when I bought it due to her having stitches from her Spay surgery. SO today she got them out and Boy was it HOT! So today Belle got out her stiches and is all healed up. So I thought would try the Pug Float on her....SHE HATED IT! as I tried to put her in the pool she slid herself out of the float and sunk like a rock! I said oh ..SH@%! and jumped in and got her up out of the water....she was scared to death she trembled and her eyes looked as if she they were going to Pop out of her head. I wrapped her up in a towel and talked to her telling her that I was sorry....soon after she forgot about what happened.........I know I was a Bad Mother I shouldn't of made her get in the pool if she was afraid of the Pug Float...I am Sorry... ;..(



Here is Belle and Willow soon after Belle's bad experience in the Pool...I filled Willow and Belle's pug Pool to splash around in..Belle went in and splashed around. I guess she like water that in Belly deep.....nothing deeper.LOL

Belle and Willow's human sister joined them for the fun......although they wished Willow and Belle would swim in the big pool.............Awww do we have to go in?? Please W can we play in the water a few more minutes???
Belle drying off in the sun....................Look at those pearly whites!

Willow drying off in the sun...........................

Okay..remember Alex our cat who go out last week for 4-5 nights? Well he got sprayed by a skunk.....full of bur-docks.....and OMG FLEAS!!!! I brought him to the groomers before for haircuts and grooming and she went up on her prices she now charges $45.oo for a cut and shampoo so I thought maybe I could so it myself...I had a pair of clippers so heck lets give it a try...................Success! I removed all the matts and bur-docks and I gave him a flea bath.........I sprayed and sprayed the basement for fleas..hopefully they will leave my Pugs alone. I use revolution on them for Fleas so far so good!

He sat through the whole thing and Purred....Go figure?
