It's been a year since our Sasha died. We decided to remember her by taking her on her fave kind of trip -- a road trip! There's nothing better than a whole world full of new smells! a drive along the Pacific would be perfect.</div>

The northern coast is really pug-friendly -- lots of places we could walk and bring the pugs. They were richly rewarded by their adoring fans. And we were rewarded with super-exhausted animals that offered no resistance to aggressive shnergling.</div>

We're back at our latest fave place to grab a bite, a glass and enjoy the company of the pugs. Deedee was surprisingly well-behaved. (may be because of all her fans who stopped by to give her luvin'). Cleo pretty much whined the entire time. Humiliating. Her excuse is -- she's now on steroids for her allergies, and her vet told us that it would make her really hungry.</div>

One of my guilty pleasures is the show 'So You Think You Can Dance'. I love watching this show -- the kids are so talented; the amazing things they can do with their bodies is almost unbelievable. It is, however, all wrapped up in a audience-voting-and-judging format, which I am not a big fan of. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tell you what Deedee cannot stand about this show. The dancing. Don't get me wrong, she still has loud opinions on the music selection, and she has a particular verbal beef with the bright flashing lights. But she HATES the dancing. </div>

Deedee...<strike>is crazy</strike> loves the vet's. Now, I knew something was up when she started to pull me into our vet's office everytime we visited. And when she got practically giddy when we went to her eye vet. Or when she pranced happily around the dermatologist vet's office, when she wasn't even the patient.<br />
<br />
Well, the other day she went to go see her dentist vet. She'd never even been to this office before, and somehow she knew. She lunged for the door, hauled me in, yanked herself loose from my grasp and proceeded to fly like a furry black cannonball all around the office, assaulting anyone she could find with kisses. Presumably in the hope for treats. <br />
<br />
She was richly rewarded.<br />

Oh, wait. How could I fail to mention the pug that woke me in the middle of the night, whining? little pathetic noises broke my heart. I thought she was in pain. As I went to her, she jumped off of the bed, ran to the water bowl, and drank it dry. Then came back to bed and settled in happily to go back to sleep. One wonders why she felt the need to be so vocal about being thirsty.</div>

We found a couple more small mast cell tumors on Cleo. Instead of hysterically consulting vet specialists all over the tri-county area, this time I very calmly rung up our vet to schedule surgery. This time, instead of having to go under general anesthesia, Cleo will have the little suckers removed under local anesthesia. Makes me feel better because my baby girl isn't a baby, anymore, and I don't like the risks of anesthesia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Annndd, Cleo got herself another full-body shave. Turns out our groomer hasn't had this request since, well, <a href="http://sashacleo.blogspot.com/2011/10/oh-horror.html">the last time I asked her to do it</a>. Funny. It's so becoming.</div>

Well, I don't think I need to tell you that the Weak Link amongst us (otherwise known as the husband) totally caved, and ended up with 2 pugs on the lap by the end of dinner. I can only hope the restaurant has a short memory and allows us back in the door.pugmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18046881446675604685noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4680157270624686823.post-2309325102835015062013-07-30T21:00:00.003-07:002013-07-30T21:00:56.612-07:00Pug-friendly venues are the best!ESPECIALLY places that also serve wine. Not that the pugs get any. or much, anyway. Sasha had always been a champagne kinda girl, but Cleo and Deedee are more interested in the breadsticks.<br />
<br />
Anyway, one of our favorite wineries in Sonoma has a lovely outdoor porch area from which one can sip wine and gaze out upon the vineyards. It also has tons of breadsticks of the unsalted variety, all the better for a sensitive pug stomach.<br />
