Puggy Bank

First off Allie is all better. We have no idea what was wrong in the first place but he's fine now.

So... I've officially been lost to the dark side. I've never been one of those people who bought pug stuff before. Yes, it's true that I have things like a pug callender, magnets, stationary etc. but, I didn't buy that stuff. Every holiday/ birthday people always get me pug-ish stuff to satisfy their own secret pug person cravings. I'm not saying I don't enjoy those things, heck pugs are cute so of course I enjoy pug accessories, I just swore to myself I wouldn't be one of the people who went over board. Anyway... that all changed yesterday when my friend pointed out a "puggy bank" in a little store we went to. OMG too cute! I totally lost control of my senses (and wallet apparently) and got him. My excuse is that Jamie and I are going to start trying to get pregnant soon so we could put this in a baby's roon. HAHA I even needed an excuse, maybe I'm not totally lost to the dark side after all!?

Allie's trip to the hospital

I'm so sick of allergies! We spend over 3 1/2 hours at the emergency vet on Thursday night after I noticed the right side of Allie's face was swelling up like crazy. He didn't even look like himself he had lost his wrinkles in his forehead and under his right eye and they had turned into huge puffy masses. When we tried to touch his face to see if there was a bee stinger in it he cried out in pain. Wegot scared, called Dove Lewis and they told us to bring him right in. They ended up giving him a Benydryl shot which didn't seem to work on it's own so then the gave him a steroid shot. After waiting with him for what seemed like forever we noticed it going down slightly and decided to bring him home.

They couldn't tell us what caused it, only that they have dogs come in with the same problem on a nightly basis.

All day friday he was still really puffy. Saturday he looked a ton better. However today he's looking swollen again. I'm going to give it another day and then take hime to his normal vet if it looks bad. I'm starting to wonder if he may have an infection or something and maybe the swelling is fluid build up. If anyone had any idea let me know.

You can really tell from the pic but he's still swollen (not horribly) in this pic. He's also drugged out from all the anti histamines we've been giving him.
