My new BFF, Animal 911

Clearly, the holiday weekend was progressing too smoothly..........

Gen & the Foo had a little tussle over breakfast this morning, resulting in a really gross, bulgy look eye for the Foo.    Eeeewww.  Oh, wait, GROSS - this is serious!

Oh, you were thinking we'd put up photo of that grossness?

Come on, we've got some dignity.  

Well, maybe not. 

But I was not able to get a photo while racing down the block, blinkers on, nearly running red lights to get to the ER vet.

Fortunately, we were able to get Foo over there within 10 minutes. The vet wasn't able to reposition her eye (right, in case anyone cares) on the first try, so she will need to be sedated.   Hopefully, the eye will heal and no further treatment will be needed.

I saw Foo just before her surgery, and she was pretty, well, drunk.   But I told her she was really brave.  And seriously, eye patches are really a fashion problem.  

Please send eye healing thoughts!  

(Chocolate works too)

iUpdate:   Foo made it through surgery, but the vet was not able to get her eye in the completely correct position (due to swelling).   She had to suture the lids closed to help it heal.   We'll need to watch her carefully, and with medication and drops, hope for the best. 

Programming has been interrupted for a test of the Emergency Broadcast System......

The big reveal of our package has been interrupted by the following test of our

Emergency Response System:

That would be the momma mobile.   Even though we are pugs,  we are pretty sure there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with this picture.

When pugs collide, nothing much happens.   When people mobiles collide, this is what happens.   Even if the momma was parked (as in stationary) and just minding her own bees-wax.

The fender remover other driver was heard to say "I didn't even see you."

Again, we're just pugs, but even we can see a large SUV before we run into it.

Tune in tommorow when we resume our regularly scheduled

"BIG PACKAGE REVEAL"

Love,

Gen & the Foo

It seems we've gotten a package.......

Mom was at some foot convention over the weekend, and while she was away a package came for us.

We barked and barked at the mail lady to just leave it for us, but she brought it next door.  Hmmpf.


Our neighbor brought it over to us today.  But Mom won't let us open it till she find the camera.   Something about it being lost in her suitcases.   Whatever.

Love Gen & the Foo

The Klondike Rebellion

Momma opened the garage door this morning, and we heard a horrendous shriek. Seriously, it hurt our delicate puggy ears......

Agent Awesome was immediately summonsed to the scene of the crime.

Which began with a suspicious puddle, much like this one:

Ok, well, may be it was not actually not THAT big, but momma sure was pissed.

And so she followed the puddle.....

And we decided it was time to quietly step away from the scene.

Where she found an overturned box of soggy, melted these:

In what "may" have been a jailbreak out of the extra freezer?

Leaving the door WIDE OPEN....

for 10 hours.

 

(Not actual fridge)

Resulting in a fridge full of soggy, melted food.

Did the Klondike's try to make a break for it?

Protesting poor conditions and the specter of cruel & inhuman punishement?

Or, did *someone*,  maybe,

 FORGET TO CLOSE THE DOOR??????

We'll never know, will we?

But we sure don't want to be around when mom finds out!

It's My Birthday, and I'll Snort if I Want To!!

Genevieve turned 5 on Wednesday!

For some perspective, here's one of her earliest pictures:

Not the blondie, that's Agent Awesome.

It's probably time to tell you how I got here to my family.  After adopting many pets from local animal shelters, mom wasn't exaxctly sure how to find a good breeder.   So she kept going to pug events looking for suggestions.  And she finally found one in a place call Eye-oh-wah. 

But Agent Awesome was still pretty small and momma wasn't sure if it was time yet.   Agent Awesome begged and begged for her Genevieve, you know the little dog that rescued Madeline from her fall into the River Seine in Pa-ree.

Can't you see the resemblance?

It was winter, so momma told Agent Awesome that they'd have to wait for springtime because it was too cold for me to travel across the ocean.   Momma was hoping to buy some time, but Agent Awesome, who was just 5 years olf (like me!) said "You can just put a sweater on her Momma."

And so, when I was finally born, and ready to leave the farm, Momma told her I was on my way.  Unfortunately, she sais I got a little lost on my way from Paris and had to be picked up in Eye-oh-wah.  Another day we will tell you Agent Awesome's description of the trip to come get me.

For now, please share in my birthday celebration!

Hmm, that sure smells goooooo!

Nom, nom, nom!

The Foo licked her plate bone dry.

Here she is in her party outfit.

Look at all this birthday booty!

OK, I admit it, I'm still kinda confused about what to do with toys. 

Do you think Angry Chicken looks sad?

Agent Awesome made my very own Birthday Bandana.

Bye Everypuggy!

Love Gen & the Foo

Without further adieu.......PugFest

We are SO excited!

We finally made it to PugFest!

Thanks for driving, Mom.

Mom got us some new bling just for the Fest, see our sparkly new harnesses?

We stopped by and talked to lots of our favorite rescue groups, and did LOTS of shopping and donating.

There were all kinds of treats for us.   

We met some adorable furry friends!   Mmmmm, Smmmoch!

Also some treats for the humans.    OK, NEXT!

These guys look kinda like us!

And we think we found Gen's twin-separated-at-birth, don't you?  (on the right)

Yeah, he's thinkin' what we're thinkin'!

We were so exhausted by the end!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............

Next time: the BOOTY.

Winner, Winner ....Chicken Dinner. NOT.

Please send healing thoughts to our buddy Anakin, who had an unfortunate run in with some purloined chicken bones. He's had two surgeries, the latest on his birthday!   Not exactly what he was hoping for!

Not actual bones purloined:

The only chicken bones a dog should be thinking about:

Fortunately, his momma noticed he was having some trouble and got him back to vet quickly.  

He's on his way home right now.

Anakin, buddy, hurry and get better soon!

I think we might need a birthday re-do.

We loves you,

Gen & the Foo
