Wiped Out

I'm still wiped out and brain dead this morning. Mike, who's taking a comp day today, tried to let me sleep in by getting up with the dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs decided that meant I was dead or something and became quite upset....and kept sneaking into the bedroom and pawing frantically at my side of the bed trying to make me get up. They were overjoyed when I finally did. I was not. It's great to be loved, just not at 4:30 am.

Anyway, now that they're settled down, I'm going back to bed. For your viewing pleasure until I become coherent again, here's a photo of Sollie.

Who could stay mad at a face like that?

Awww! Yeah, I agree. That's a face that you just can't stay mad with.

Look at that face, just look at it. . .
That fabulous face of yourrrrs!

(Yeah, I think it's the meds. I never sing before the second cup of coffee. Sorry, Rita. Heh.)

That's ok, sing away. I do the same thing, just not as well....just ask my kids.

Last weekend Fred and I went to visit my Mom in South Dakota. We also stopped at my Aunt & Uncle's house. My cousin was there, and she had her Pug. His name is Joe, and he's completely deaf and built like a small beer keg.

Joe was just hilarious. We had a great time petting him and talking to him, even though he can't hear. Kim had rescued him from a life of abuse, and he's now a happy, fat and comfortable dog.

My vet, a fellow pug fancier, has a rescue I wish I could bring home with me. She's a fat, old, one-eyed pug whose owner wanted her put down because she'd developed bladder problems. My vet refused and ended up just keeping her....fixed her bladder problems too. She's just the sweetest old thing, and if I'd thought Mike wouldn't kill me, I'd see if the vet would part with her.

I just don't understand people who would mistreat a dumb animal. Pugs tend to just worship their owners, and I can't imagine why this one's owner didn't take care of her.
