Pugs Bunny

There it is. Vicki could not let Easter pass without wishing all of her friends and fans a fantastic holiday. Remember chocolate isn't good for dogs but a little treat is always appreciated. Smile!

She Stinks Purdy

The Wash Your Pet Pet mobile stopped by yesterday for Vicki's quick pick me up. Within a half hour the team had her shampooed, nails clipped and sent her off with a pretty red bow. She tore off the bow almost as soon as she returned home.

She's feeling much better after last week and now she smells better too for the moment.

Tummy Troubles

Poor Vicki hasn't been feeling well these last two days. She's been throwing up and when I gave her a dentabone she just held it in her mouth and didn't immediately eat it. She is also slower than usual on her walks and sleeping quite a bit. Really hope she's okay. She did eat her dinner this evening so that's good. There are notices posted along Bowen Road warning about dog poisonings and I do get concerned that she may eat something off the street. It has been happening for years in this area. She's so quick to sniff out a piece of abc gum, stray bits of garbage or anything that slightly resembles food. I really do not want to put a muzzle on her. It just makes me so angry that a person would want to poison dogs, I just cannot comprehend it. I don't really think she was poisoned but just to have that worry because of someone who wants to harm dogs (and could possibly do harm to others even little children perhaps).

She's up and running at the moment and barking at someone in the hallway so hopefully she's feeling better now.

Moving On

I just started thinking about my little Vicki blog again. It has been a good exercise in sitting down to write everyday and I love being able to look back at Vicki's integration into life here with us. She is a very lucky dog, she knows.

She is continuing to shed pounds though still has a little way to go to get in the healthy range. I had her in to see the vet about a rash on her belly. She gave us some antibacterial soap to cleanse the area and said it is probably just blackheads. Another girl who works at the clinic told me she has two pugs and they frequently get skin irritations. This is the first I'd noticed any skin irritation on Vicki. Two days later and her rash is almost gone.

Well, I'm writing about different things these days but I'll pop in every now and then to keep you posted on our girl. Bye for now. Thanks for reading and for your comments and I wish you and your lovable pets all the best!
