<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eYw8K4chz3E/UDG7MJsibSI/AAAAAAAABJ4/7st0ev2VUVk/s1600/brando.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eYw8K4chz3E/UDG7MJsibSI/AAAAAAAABJ4/7st0ev2VUVk/s320/brando.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We were so sad to hear that one of our pug buddies, Brando, in Tennessee was just diagnosed with Heartworm. The saddest part is that Heartworm infections are completely preventable! <br />
<br />
Brando was recently rescued from a terrible situation. His vet sees signs that he was confined to a crate most of the time, resulting in serious walking difficulties. Most likely, he was used for breeding and otherwise ignored. Shortly after finding a loving home, Brando began to show signs of illness. Among other problems, the vet discovered a Heartworm infestation.<br />
<br />
Brando will need medication to kill both adult worms, as well as larvae in his bloodstream. Stress on a dog's heart from the dying adult worms during treatment can be dangerous and even fatal. To prevent that, he'll need to be on crate rest for several weeks. While this infection IS curable, it also never had to happen.<br />
<br />
According to the <a href="http://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/canine-heartworm.html">American Heartworm Association</a>, dogs is every US state have been diagnosed. While the highest infection rate (45%) occurs in states that are within 150 miles of the Atlantic or Gulf coasts, or along the Mississippi River, local factors can cause increased incidence in inland states. Since Heartworm is transmitted via infected mosquitoes, you can bet that if your area has a high concentration of mosquitoes, Heartworm is a problem. Click here for a <a href="http://www.heartwormsociety.org/download/Incidence-Map-2010.pdf">map</a> of US Heartworm incidence. <br />
<br />
Monthly treatment to prevent Heartworm can cost as little as $15 per month for your dog. But the medications, testing and vet care needed to treat the infection can add up to as much as $1000, depending on the severity of the disease, according to <a href="http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/guide/heartworms-in-dogs-facts-and-myths?page=2">webMD</a>. <br />
<br />
Along with consistently administering monthly Heartworm preventatives, pay attention to mosquito control in areas where your dogs spend time outdoors. Less mosquitoes means less chance of exposure to Heartworm larvae. Although most dogs do have some level of larvae, regular use of preventative kills them before they can grow to full adult size (up to 12 inches for females) and cause damage to the heart.<br />
<br />
Along will all our pug friends, we are hoping that Brando has a smooth and full recovery. A Chip-in has been posted for anyone who cares to donate some treat money towards his care. But most important, we hope you learned a little bit about Heartworm, and how to keep your own dogs safe and healthy.<br />

Today's meetup was also a fundraiser for <a href="http://northernillinoispugrescue.org/pugs/adoption-spotlight/">NIPRA</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that's where the Foo got rescued from.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is Miss Aimee giving Foo a massage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like a true Diva*, Foo just ate up the attention and pampering. Miss Aimee noticed that Foo's front paws were pretty tight, probably from her bum back paws. She got some of that arthritis in her hips, you know.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few days ago, Mom told us some startling news......we were getting a visitor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not just for a day or two, but for a while. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"How long?" we asked........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"As long as it takes" Mom said. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mom explained that there was a sad pug out there who needed a safe place to be. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She's a puppy mill survivor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A what? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What's a puppy mill?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A place that's not good for dogs. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Where there are only cages, and no families, or playing, or even names.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">No belly rubs or treats.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The only important thing is making new puppies.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So when Mom heard that Kentukiana Pug Rescue needed some more foster homes, she agreed to keep a pug-in-need safe till a new home could be found.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few hours later:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OK, it was really 2 days.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mom gave us a big pep talk about being nice to thte new kid in tow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a picture of the official </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Pug Welcoming Committee" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Much butt sniffing ensued, and we showed her our backyard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And then our deck, and finally inside the house.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ruby was a wreck, and could not stop shaking, even when Mom was holding her.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the past 4 days, she's gotten more comfortable around our house.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At first, she clained a spot on the carpet and wouldn't budge. Everytime Mom picked her up to try to get her to drink, eat or pee, she ran right back to her "spot". So Mom put a dog bed down for her.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We are trying not to give her the cold paw, but boy, is she weird! She doesn't know her own name! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> And she doesn't know how to go for a walk on a leash. She scares herself when she shakes her own tags. She jumps everytime theres a loud noise. And she wouldn't eat for a whole day. (now that's crazy!) She doesn't know how to play.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She likes to jump around, sniff stuff and generally act strange. During nap time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After four days she is starting to get a bit tired.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But she is good at making Mom a little crazy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a shot of us messing with Mom when she was trying to take a picture of us all. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ha, Ha...........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It's that time of year (again) when I lose clumps of fur. I've got big patches of it sticking out all over me. Mom just grabs a handful and plucks it out. Don't worry - there's more where that came from. <br />
<br />
Face it, I'm a HOT MESS. The other day, as I was <strike>passed out</strike> relaxing on the living room rug, Mom noticed some schmutz (ssh-MUT-tze) on my paw. For those of you who don't speak Yiddish (HELLO! Michelle Bachman??) that means, crud, or crusty, well....stuff. And she noticed this. <br />

I should probably mention that this is the old "new" couch, so who can blame me for not really listening to the "no pug on the new couch" rule. You see, it's Dad's new couch from a few years ago, but now it's and Mom-n-Dad's house, which is my old house. Get it? I thought so. As great side benefit of the humans moving all their stuff into the same house has been the piles of stuff, and partially filled boxes I can climb into or on top of. It's been fun. <br />

I've got my EYE on you. Oh, yeah, that's the broke eye, nevermind.</div>

What am I? Chopped Liver?<br />

I have allowed the back-up pug to steal the blog once too many times.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TJE06FJod6I/AAAAAAAAA9U/OPURFiQhFo0/s1600/pugs+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TJE06FJod6I/AAAAAAAAA9U/OPURFiQhFo0/s320/pugs+001.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Back when the Foo needed to take 18,437,273 pills every day, mom came up with some tricks to get the medicine down. One of these included a healthy squirt of whippy cream.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TJE1JUSl2EI/AAAAAAAAA9c/du6_QzafO1Q/s1600/pugs+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TJE1JUSl2EI/AAAAAAAAA9c/du6_QzafO1Q/s320/pugs+002.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">These days, the Foo has become a very picky eater. Sometimes even ignoring her bowl of kibble. Yes, I know. Lowly kibble is for mere peasants. Mom's tried several ways to get the Foo to eat more. Wet food, meh. Chicken broth, warmed, meh. Leftover chicken or beef shredded up, better. But there is one sure way to get the Foo to lick her bowl clean.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TJE1SKg6JsI/AAAAAAAAA9k/eiLPCBS9y0c/s1600/pugs+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TJE1SKg6JsI/AAAAAAAAA9k/eiLPCBS9y0c/s320/pugs+010.JPG" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

When I head it was none other than Heather McElhatton (a.k.a Walter's Mom), I demanded that mom get me there to hear her read in the fur.<br />
<br />
You see, being a pug, it can be kinda hard to read books. Turning the pages can get pretty difficult without thumbs! So, I secretly listen to books on tape. Listening to a pick-you-own story on tape was a little challenging, but I managed it. Clever, very clever. <br />
<br />
But Jennifer Johnson? Fabulous! Finally, a story that tells it like it is. I must have listened to that book 10 times! There's hope for single girls everywhere!<br />
<br />
So, when I heard there was going to be a reading at Barbara's Books in Chicago, I went right to Google to see how to get there. I went on a complete cuteness strike until mom agreed to drive me down. The Foo wanted to go, but since she really prefers cheap dime-store romance novels, I told her it would be a bit of an insult to attend. Agent Awesome wanted to come too. She hasn't read any of my fovorite author's books, but that's Ok, because Heather say's they are rated PG-15*<br />
<br />
It was soooo exciting. As we got to the bookstore, I couldn't help but sniff everything! Heather, Heather...where are you?!?<br />
<br />
Oh, here!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TIWiM22G41I/AAAAAAAAA6M/SeNqI76RFk0/s1600/excitement.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TIWiM22G41I/AAAAAAAAA6M/SeNqI76RFk0/s320/excitement.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was so excited, I could not stop moving!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a better picture....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TIWiEL0c-JI/AAAAAAAAA58/cwanzDdmS0k/s1600/heather!.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dc-nKtXlL0o/TIWiEL0c-JI/AAAAAAAAA58/cwanzDdmS0k/s320/heather!.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course, as the only four-legged fan, I got the pug's-share of her attention! And a signed copy of the new book just for me! I let her write Foo's name too, just to show how nice I am. And it seems like I might be the ONLY four-legged fan who's come to the bookstore; the nice workers there were totally charmed and treated me like a queen!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was just the best night.Ever.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Heather was so nice. She didn't even get upset when I tried my famous sneak-lick attack trick. Or when I left half my fur on her pretty black jacket. We made her promise to bring Walter next time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">* Heather says her books are too grown-up for Agent Awesome. No one under 15 should be reading these books. But she explained to Agent Awesome (owner of the red legs) that she was hard at work on a book just for young adult readers. And she even promised to send us a copy when it gets done. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was a big night for me, and I had to go home quickly to get ready for the big wedding adventure - stay tuned for the details.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Her eyeball looks like it's repositioned itself back where it belongs, or, close enough. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have sight in the eye, and that's probably permanent. She's getting around really well, so it should not be a problem for her. PSA: even thought the eye isn't functional, if the ulcer gets badly infected, it will need to be removed. I think Foo has had quite enough surgery already.<br />

She does have an ulceration that we need to clear up, so its 2 medicines, each 6 times a day. Her other eye is doing well but will always need the Tacrolimus drops for dry eye.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ok - total for the Foo: 2 drops, six times a day. 1 drop, 2x day. 2 pills twice a day, and two pills once a day. I've totally lost count! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So Gen was feeling kind of left out......and we took her for a check-up too. Well, turns out she has some pretty serious problems too. Poor tear production, and chronic dry eye have allowed verydark pigmentation to develop. He thinks it is impairing Gen's vision. That's possible, but she can see a speck of food at 20 paces......so I don't think she's suffering. So, she get Tacrolimus for life too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hmmm, who makes that stuff? I think I'd better buy some stock!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
