daily(ish) photos of the princess pug
Merry asked me to remind each of you to go out and play this weekend (or play indoors, if outside is yucky as it’s forecasted to be around here). For our friends in hurricane territory, be safe. We’re thinking of you.
I loved the light streaming in behind her. So sweet. Taken a few days ago.
Miss Merry ran me a lovely chase this morning. :) She stumbled a bit on our walk, and then refused to walk on her left front paw. By the time I got her home and settled on the couch, she had huge muscle spasms running down her entire left leg – you could see the muscles working and her paw shaking up and down. She wouldn’t let me ice it, nor could she sit still; her front leg just kept shaking her. Nor would she let me touch it much; she just kept pulling her leg away. So I made a quick appointment with the vet, grabbed a cab, and got the sucky little miss to the vet.
But Merry loooooves the vet. Because they always make a big fuss over her and her vet is fantastic and also, she gets liver treats which she never, ever gets at home. So as soon as we got there, she was all “Leg? What leg? I’m fine! I must lick everybody!”.
Argh. :) Luckily she was fine, possibly a little strain or sprain. Her vet was kind enough to tell me it happens often – pets get adrenaline rushes when they get there, and that helps them to walk on paws that they specifically had said “OH HECK NO” to just minutes before. She gave us a mild pain reliever to give the little fussbudget in case she started favoring her paw again, and sent us home.
She’s been mostly fine since we got home – favoring that side just slightly, but clearly not nearly as critical as she’d made it look for the half-hour or so after her walk. :)
You just decided you wanted Momma’s undivided attention this morning, right pooch?
You know how some women go all gooshy over men holding babies? That’s me, only it’s men with dogs. Especially if they show true tenderness and affection to their pooch. Makes me all melty.
My fiance loves Merry almost as much as I do. He is so sweet with her that it’s one of my favorite things, to watch the two of them together.
I’m serious. I’m using these Jedi pug mind tricks on you as we speak. You will throw the ball. You will throw the ball. You will throw the ball.
Or I shall lick you with my big hot pink tongue until you submit to my Force.
Not very often you get to see just her wee little teeth, minus the big lolling tongue. :) Thank you, precious, for letting me capture this adorable moment.
(Come on. You totally know you’re saying awww in your head!)
Oh my, I’ve been waiting to tell you guys about these toys for simply ages; the princess loves ‘em and I do a little boogie around the office everytime she squeezes the squeaker. They’re the most hilarious, ever. :) If you check out the review, you can listen to the sound the squeaker makes. Just awesome.
I meant to mention, if you buy the Tiki Toys via this link, we get a little “kickback” that helps to run the site. :) If you were planning on buying anyways… we’d love the extra support! Thanks guys.
