Goodbye Bingo

I passed away last night at 630. I had been having a much harder scooting around, of course I havent been able to use my back legs for a year but by thanksgiving I couldnt even scoot to the water bowl. My legs where swelling up too. Mom and dad carried me around and fed me by hand. I ate all my treats, but I just wasnt happy, no more barking for my food. I had a hard time lying down and getting comfortable. So mom and dad brought me to the vet. They were hoping that the vet would be able to help me somehow, but she explained that I was in liver failure and thats why my legs where swelling, so they decided to say goodbye. I had a nice retirement. Three years in a loving home after a life time of neglect. I was a lucky dog

I sm still here!

Luckily I am still with mom and dad. My walking has gotten worse and Im completely incontinent now, but amazingly I still have a lot of zest for life. I bark at anyone who comes to the door and I love my vittles, I bark for my food everyday. I even still try to play wih a few of my toys, but mostly I nap. Mom and Dad tell me I am a miracle pug, they are hoping Im here for another halloween and xmas, but they know every day is a gift

Lovely Day for a Guiness

Isnt this the best picture. Mom put a dog treat in the Guiness bottle and I went a little crazy. My favorite toy is the tug-a-jug where treats are in the bottle and you pull the rope to get them out so maybe I thought this Guiness was the same. I was sure I could get the treat out. Mom had to take it away from me for fear Id hurt myself, and dont worry she tehn gave me a bunch of treats to make up for the one stuck in the bottle. I am always a very determined eater. Im the only one of my siblings to play with the tug a jug. I can barely walk but Ill move furniture to get a forgotten kernel of dog food. Every day I bark for breakfast and dinner saying "hurry up!" I havent got all day, Im kind of a grumpy old man like that.

It must be my love of food thats keeping me going becasue mom and dad and my vet say that its amazing Im st ill around. Ive had cancer for two years now, diagnosed when mom and dad sprung me from the kill shelter, and I have a very large tumor that has spread from my spleen to my liver. I walk worse now then before and I cant control my pee or poo at all so I h ave to be cleaned up after a lot. But Im still eating and Im still happy as a dog I dotn worry about anything as silly as mortality "Carpe Diem" thats my motto

My 2nd christmas with mom and dad

Mom was very happy that Ive made it long enough to have a second christmass with her, she never thought that would happen. She made sure I had teh best day I could by giving me lots of treats, I love my food, see the photo of me in my bed with all my treats. I also got my wheel chair as an early christmass gift. Its been snowing and icy so I havent used it in awhile, but I really like it. Tommorow is our puggie groups christmass party so I will bring my wheel to that.

My new wheels!

I have been walking a little worse, boo tummy tumors and cancer. So mom and dad decided to get me a dog wheel chair cart. They found a seller on ebay, doxie cart, who started making carts for daschunds with spinal injuries and now makes carts for all size dogs. So now I have a custom made wheel chair cart that lets me get around the back yard better and go for walks. I tried it out on a walk today and I was zooming along, it was so much fun. So Im going to have to tell mom and dad to take me on more walks.

My 2nd Halloween

Today was my second halloween in my new home. I wore a cute halloween neck scrunchie I got at the puggie boo bash last week. I had pumpkin brownies and ate a lot of treats. Mom is a little sad since she knows this will probably be my last halloween, but she is trying to just appreciate each day with me and she is so happy that I am still here.

Sad news and a happy day

Mom has not updated my page becasue she has been sad that my vet confirms my cancer has spread. I am still feeling good, but I have lost a littel weight and no one knows how much longer Ill be around. Hopefully a long time! No matter what happens mom and dad are glad I had a great year with them and got the life a dog deserves, for at least one of my years.

On a happy note yesterday was pug stock and mom had fun dressing me up like an old hippie. She loves 60s fashions. I had a nice tie died hat and scarf and a vest with beads. Mom put a nice Bob Dylan 60s song on my page since he is an old hippie like me.

My non-anesthetic dental

Mom and Dad took me to the Vet at the Barn holistic hospital for an exam and a non-anesthetic dental. I got bloodwork and was a very brave boy. Mom talked to the vet about my tummy tumor and the vet agrees its probably benign. The vet said they might be able to consider taking out my spleen but that it might not make sense to do that to me since Im an older guy. Anesthesia would be dangerous for me. Mom and the lady who runs the rescue group I come from are thinking about it. The vet also said I have dry eye so mom has to give me drop sas often as possible.

My dental went good I squirmed a little, the lady said all the pugs are very squirmy but my teeth look much whiter now.

My day in hoboken and my new collar

On thursday I got a nice new present, a guitar print collar from linden line designs. All their stuff is really cute and the prices are very good so mom loves to buy us stuff from there. She bought bell collars for Tubby and Ping from there too.

Then on friday Mom and Dad took me and my brother Bob, who just turned 2, for a day trip to hoboken to celebrate Bob's birthday and the almost aniversary of me coming to live with them. We got hot dogs at the little league hot dog stand and then we walked (well I rolled in my stroller) down on the path by the water and mom took some nice pictures of me. It was a very nice day.
