Rikki and the Fat Wrinkle

Thanks for everyone's good wishes for the pugs.  Rikki had her tumor removed and she's all good--no cancer.  She does have a series of stitches on the back of her front leg that make her look like FrankenPug.


In order to prevent her from scratching the stitches, I've been squashing her into a little robe with sleeves.


Here's a snapshot of what life is like in our household...




Hello Rikki, would you like to pose?




Wait, wait a second there.  Must get close-up of that massive wrinkle fat-fold that's squeezing your face.




From another angle...



She breaks the pose...



...aaand falls asleep...




...while sitting up...




...not the smartest dog in the world, but pretty damn cute.

  6. Oh my goodness I had no idea that Rikki had a tumor! I'm so glad that it wasn't cancerous and that she's well on her way to recovery. (And what a way to recover in style!)

  13. Aw, the baby! That robe is simply TOO much, and beats a big plastic cone any day.

  14. I'm so glad she's doing well. And of course she has a hot "ruff" around her robe. Super stylish.
