Whenever I am on my computer, aka ignoring the pups in their minds, both of them like to sit at my feet and give me the sad eyes in hopes I cave and pick one of them up. I try my hardest to resist but usually I give in at some point giving them each a turn to sit on my lap and check out the computer. Usually they just look to see if I have any goodies they can steal on the desk.

Laying Around

Just a few shots I snapped on my phone of the puggies resting together. They are best buds.

Rolls A-Plenty

One big difference between Lola and Moby is the amount of skin they each have, especially around their faces. Lola has a sleaker neck and chest for the most part, while Moby has roll after roll of skin to deal with. I always laugh when Mo tries to turn just his head to see whats going on behind him because the rolls actually resist his movement and sight. He doesn't really seem to mind but I think its cute and one of his rare goofy faces.

Chewing Therapy

The cold weather just won't break and the pups have really had it with all this being inside all the time. We have been trying different chew toys and treats to keep them occupied. One of their all time favorites are Merrick Flossies so we have been stocking up. Lola loves to lay next to me and chew away as the pictures above show. She sort of zones out and is quickly and peaceful. Moby usually starts with one chewy and quickly tries to steal Lola's, you can see from the picture above he is getting ready to take it. Doesn't he look like a little angel? Lola then cries til you get it back, you can see in the last picture she is just starting to get upset as Moby has not only stolen her chewy but her spot on the counch. Sibling rivalry!

Towards the end of January we noticed a pencil eraser sized lump on Moby's back right paw. I took a picture and sent it to our vet who said it was most likely a histiocytoma - benign tumor which can spontaneously appear on young dogs and will disappear over time without treatment. The tumor grew rapidly and would open and bleed when Moby was running in our backyard. We debated having it removed but the risks of putting a pug under anesthesia are too great unless necessary so we are going to wait it out. It doesn't appear to hurt him but he does lick it at night when it tends to swell and get very red in color. Hopefully we see an improvement in the next couple weeks.

New Jackets

The winter weather is still blistering cold so we bought the pups new jackets. Neither of them are all that thrilled since these ones have sleeves which I think are slightly less comfortable. I am never one to make them wearing something ill fitted or constricting but the weather has been so cold and our walks so short that they needed some extra protection. I think they look sort of Asian inspired and the hood are absolutely hysterical on them. You can tell from the photos Moby is really annoyed with me and Lola is much more forgiving as long as she gets an adventure outside.

Deep In Thought

One of Lola's favorite things is going for rides in the car. She loves to sit in the backseat and look out the window. These are just a couple pics from my phone I snapped on our travels. Moby isn't as big a fan of the car because he has to sit in the backseat which makes him pretty mad.
