Prim is very cute. I hope her eyes clear up soon. Be diligent with the meds and don't stop them until your vet says it's OK to.

What are those green wrapped items in the pic of the kitties on the couch? It looks like they may be chocolate or chewing gum. If so it is a really bad idea to leave them anywhere the pug could get hold of them. Chocolate is poisonous for dogs and chewing gum is not great, especially if it contains xylitol which is also poisonous for dogs.

No we can't declaw our cats. We have been again this since the beginning. I clip their nails all the time, need to get back to filing them again. We haven't seen any problems. The only one that evens swipes is Max, one of our younger cats, and he doesn't pull his claws out when he does this. He only swipes or paws her when she starts getting a little too puppy like with him. She likes to bite his tail (made the poor guy cry) and come yapping at him. So he has to stand his ground. But he has been really good. They're slowly warming up to him. Our bigger cat is not too excited. He was the first can and since we have had him we keep getting more animals. But they all seem to be working out their issues, without claws.

I was waiting on someone to comment on the messy couch. It was chocolate but it was moved and put up. I know about the chocolate and being bad for dogs. Another thing I have to remember ad get used to. Been a while since having a dog lol.

Snifter we only have to keep her on the eye meds for a few days.
No they isn't do a blood test for the heart worm meds. Didn't ven offer me the option...

Whoa, Snifter, good eye on the dangerous couch items. I shudder to think what might be in one of my cluttered couch pictures! Great advice. Sometimes it's easy to overlook a potential disaster, in the excitement of a new puppy. Who knew gum could be poisonous for dogs, thanks for the info.

Your furbaby is SO cute, I want to squeeze her to pieces! You all must be so happy.

Oh I just saw you asked about food. My pug is doing very well on Wellness. We feed Chicken Soup to the other dogs, but Julian was looking a bit thin over the ribs and middle so we tried wellness. It seems to be the perfect food for him. Little gas, great coat, and he's perfectly filled out now. 1/3 cup 2X daily. (The puppy formula.) And he smells good. Not doggy, not neutral, he actually smells GOOD.

We have been using Ultra for her. And she sure is getting a little pudgy around the middle. Only do a handful about 3 times a day, sometimes 4. She sure is gassy though LOL. She will lay in bed with me and she lays under the cover and just imagine on a cartoon when the green fog creeps up to your nose... yeah it is like that! HA
