Limping pug off to vet

Message from my mum: Last night, Jesse developed a bit of a limp and was holding her back right leg a little off the ground as she walked. It later turned into more of a hobble, and this morning she was walking on only three legs. We couldn't attribute the pain to any particular incident.
Off to the Annandale Animal Hospital early this morning in the hope of getting in to see a vet first up. Close. We were second to some guy who also rocked up without an appointment to get his dog his annual injection.
The vet spent a decent amount of time going over Jesse and checking her foot pads, between her 'toes', knees, and hip. Jesse winced most when he flexed her foot, and poked into her knee.
The vet concluded it was likely a ligament sprain and that NO going out for 1 week, and NO off-leash for 1 MONTH. He gave her an injection for inflammation, and an oral version of the stuff to place on her food over the coming week.
No pug meet-up for Jesse next Saturday, no daily play times with her friends Ella, Charlie, and Bailey, and no more walks for a while. Just staying home with mum and dad. Booooring!

The Pug Show

After I got blessed (see posting below, 'Blessed Pet'), I headed out with Mum and Dad to the Pug Show at Castle Hill, one of two annual events held by the Pug Dog Club of NSW. This is a dog show where my cousins are paraded around and given awards.
















There were so many pugs there, even some baby ones in a cot.
































I had an awesome day.

Blessed pet

Now, I'm not a religious pug or anything, but last Sunday, my nanna invited me to her church for an outdoor pet blessing ceremony. All creatures great and small, and all that. I am now an officially blessed pug.

This is a picture of me sitting still and looking pretty at the ceremony.

Bling bling

People often ask my mummy where my collar came from. You see, my collar is quite unique. My name is spelled out in silver-plated balls, surrounded by 24 bi-cone Swarovski crystals, all painstakingly triple hand-stitched onto the collar. In fact, I have quite a few custom-made pieces of bling bling. I wear them when I go out, especially to the monthly pug meet-up I attend. It helps mummy and daddy find me quicker when there's 20 or so pugs running around like mad. So where do my collars come from? Mummy makes them all for me!
