Sisterly love

Cleo got a warm, loving welcome from her sisters after her surgery. Well, er, after Sasha viciously growled at her because she was upset Cleo got to leave and she didn't. but AFTER that, Sasha was the model of decorum. She gave Cleo multiple curious sniffs.

And Deedee? after trying to get the drugged Cleo to play with her unsuccessfully, she was happy to settle down next to her, at a respectful distance, and chew her bone in synchrony.

Post-operative Cleo

Poor Cleopatra had not one, but two, mast cell tumors. She had surgery today to remove them -- they require wide local excision (2-3 cm margins). Luckily, the tumors were small.

One was on her right thigh.

The second was in her right armpit.

Little girl apparently got a lot of love at the vet's office after her surgery. We were told that she was passed from lap to lap, because she seemed like a pug in need of love. What pug isn't.

Cuddletime with the cousins

After spending the majority of her days in what essentially amounts to an old-age pug home, Deedee was only too happy to be in NYC! To hang out with the younger cousins! To wrestle! To play for hours on end!

Hangin'

Did Deedee enjoy her visit with her cousins? You be the judge.

Visit with the cousins

Deedee and I took a trip this past long weekend to NYC. To visit her cousins! Miss Bunni. Or, Bunnunurificus, as we like to call her.

And also, Rikki Tikki Tembo No se Rembo. Or, Miss Love-Ho.

Little girls.

Sasha's fave napping place

is in a pile of my clothes. Which some (husband) may say does not belong on the floor, but all I have to say is, if my clothes were not on the floor, I would very much like to know what Sasha would bury her tired round head in at the end of the day?

mama. do u mind.

Who can resist?

Needless to say, a little puglet was shnergled within an inch of her life after this pic.

Pile o' pug

Nothing better. Nothing better.

Deedee luvs her Sasha

Most of the time, Deedee prefers Cleo as her snuggle-buddy, and Sasha as her wrestle-mate. Sometimes, tho, the puppy likes to get a little snugglage with her Sasha, too.

Just a little alone time

There are few things that Cleo loves more than spending some food quality time in a nice, sunny spot. Especially on a plush seat surrounded by fluffy cushions.

hm. I guess Deedee likes sunny spots, too.
