Random Pug Stuff!

This post is about random recent things involving the pugs. Simon went to the vet this past Friday. We haven't changed vets since moving so we are now 20-some miles away. Which means a long car ride for us when going to the vet. Both of my boys are rather easygoing when it comes to vet visits. Neither one of them has ever shown signs of nervousness. However, there's a first time for everything....Simon had a nervous twitch going on with his back leg during this appointment. I'm not sure why this trip to the vet caused him to have some nervous issue. Possibly the long ride played apart. This is only the second time in his life that he's endured a long ride to the vet. Other than the nervous leg twitch he made it through the appointment alright. The vet did tell me that he needs his teeth cleaned in the next 3-6 months. So if we don't change vets then that means 2 round trips(likely during rush hour) across town! Lovely!

Changing topics...The pugs visited my boyfriend's cat, Storm, this weekend. Overall, she seems to be growing more tolerate of the pugs. There are funny moments when the "animal kingdom" is together. At one point I was upstairs and all 3 animals were upstairs too. I was soon ready to go downstairs, Storm was not. The pugs were hanging out next to each other near the top of the stairs. I began ushering Storm to the stairs as well. However, both pugs were standing where she preferred to be. If she has to leave the upstairs she wants to be either way out in front of the pugs or she wants to be far behind the pugs. Being right next to the pugs and ready to go downstairs all at the same time is not her preference! So in her effort to jockey for position she began whacking the nearest pug to her. Cody was the lucky recipient of her whacks with her paw. He received one whack. He looked puzzled. He received a second whack. He was still puzzled but moved a few slight inches. He received a third whack that's when Cody clued in that she wanted to go down the stairs first and that he needed to get out of her way. It was rather humorous to watch!

*Sidenote: As I'm typing this post Cody is laying in his bed in the hall. Unsocial position but yet he will be the first to know when I get up from the computer! He likes knowing where I am at all times as it seems! I placed that bed in the hall directly across from the door of the spare room with him in mind! Lol!
