A New Beginning

Man.. It's been a long time since I have posted on here..  So much time has gone by.   I have two new pugs, one black female Maya and one fawn boy Miko.  We are one big happy Pug family.  Ping and Zoe are getting up there in age.  Ping is 13 1/2 and Zoe is 12 1/2.   I also have put on quite a bit of weight since I have been M.I.A.  My new goal is to lose all that weight and get healthy..  I started a few days ago..  I'm eating less and trying to cut way back on my sugar and wine.   I'm  adding a new exercise program along with my regular morning walks.  It's called  life sprints .  It should really kick up my fat loss with a more intense work out but in a shorter period of time.  I am also back to lifting my dumbbells.    I will be taking some before and after pictures along with pictures of my new fur family.  

Love to all and wish me luck in my new beginning!!!

Another day in Pug Paradise. March 19 2011

Ping had been under the weather again this past week. Along with her leg issues she is on some antibiotics and more ear meds. She seems to be doing better. We are praying and keeping our fingers crossed. She is a trooper. You will notice from this picture we got rid of the area rugs and put in one big indoor outdoor carpet with just a few carpet mats. It's much easier to keep clean. It's not glued down so we can replace it easily.


It's chill day as most days are in the kitchen where the sun shines through the sliding door. On this day I captured them doing what they do best.. Sleeping and snoring..

Follow The Carpet Trail Feb 27, 2011

Ping has been having some problems with her right hind leg for a few weeks. I would come home from work to see her excited to greet me as her back hind leg slipped from behind her when she was running around. It looked like her foot was asleep. After a short time she was fine. She would do this on and off for a few weeks until one day she couldn't walk on the floor at all. Her leg didn't seem to get back on track. We took her to the vet and she ruled out arthritis, disc or brain issues. Everything was fine except that back leg. She also is not in any pain. Without any extensive tests the vet thinks it's some sort of nerve issue either in her leg or lower back. She said she probably has numbness or the feeling of pins and needles. It could be old age or from all the snow that froze and she had to climb around or on top of with this rough winter. We also recently got hardwood floors that could have exasperated this condition. So hubby and I are in the middle of a follow the carpet trail makeover in our house. I am trying to make it look as presentable as I can. I will do whatever I can for my baby girl so she can get around and make her life easier. She is getting up there in age and needs all the help she can.. It seems to be working and she is doing better so far.. Fingers crossed!!!
