Ginger Learns to Wave

She hasn't got the elbow-elbow, wrist-wrist of the Queen yet, but she's getting there.

Ginger has Eye Surgery

Well... eyelid surgery at least.
Ginger had some rouge eyelashes that were growing on the inside of her eyelid, which isn't the best place for eyelashes, especially when your eye makes up 90% of your face. The lashes were causing repeated eye infections and starting to make a nasty white spot on one of Ginger's eyes.
Luckily we already knew of a dog opthomologist up in Portland that was able to do the surgery. But since we're down in Klamath Falls, she spent the week with both sets of grand-pug-parents, which was just fine with them. We missed her very much while she was gone and now dread the day we have to send her off to college.
When she returned, she had to wear the cone for a couple of days, but she didn't let eight inches of plastic around her head slow her down. She had fun shoveling snow with it, so much so next winter we're going to hire her out to plow our neighbor's driveways.
Things are pretty much back to normal now. The winking is gone, the swelling is down, and the white spot is fading, which all points to a very successful surgery.

Dance Ginger, Dance


We sometimes hear strange noises coming out of Ginger's room after we put her to bed, but every time we check on her, nothing is out of the ordinary. So we hired a film crew to capture the action. We were shocked to see what was going on though, frankly, not surprised.

Ginger in her Backpack


Ginger in her Backpack
Originally uploaded by GingerThePug.
We went snowshoeing with Ginger up at Lake of the Woods, OR on New Year's Day. She had a great time leaping around in the pug-shoulder-high snow and running around on the frozen lake. She eventually got pretty tired, so we gave her a break by letting her ride in a backpack. This worked surpisingly well, although I think she would have preferred if we had brought a sled with us so we could just tow her along.

Ginger Can Play Dead


This is Ginger's new trick! Note the "death snorts" she threw in for dramatic effect.
