Earlier this week, Suji attended her first physio session at Four Paws Rehab and Fitness. Our poor gal was actually quite anxious when we rolled in and chatted with the tech, shifting around in her stroller and looking around for the nearest exit. Had she been a little more mobile, she probably would have made…

Our recent outing...
April 10, 2022: Suji Sunday!
Akemi is always the first one up. Suji and I have a little lie-in, eventually waking up a half hour or so later. I massage her ears and hips for a while after which we both get out of bed - and it's time for breakfast! For Suji anyway. We've been livestreaming the grand event…

Despite her inability to walk, her spirits are up. She gets one outside walk in the morning and one carpet run in the afternoon in addition to occasional leg exercises and massages. Hanging with her pal Totoro. Misplaced her glasses again. Sweet dreams.

Yo, Top Gun! The two greatest purchases we've ever made were 1) the soda stream and 2) this adjusted wheelchair that supports both Suji's front and rear legs, allowing her to amble around, get in some exercise and, in the process, hopefully, rebuild those weakened muscles. She remains wobbly on her feet, incapable of standing…

Hanging out with her old friend, Totoro. Taking the new wheels out for a spin. Couch tough. The new wheelchair supports her front legs as well as her hindquarters. She's not putting her full weight on either but at least she's putting SOME weight on them, going through the walking motion and exercising those weak…

Back in 2016, when we adopted Suji, she came with a wheelchair. Either due to a spine issue, hip dysplasia, or muscular atrophy (or, more likely, a combination of all three), she was unable to walk and got around by dragging her self around on the strength of her front legs. In time, we got…

Arrested by the KGB. Dressed for success. And her morning walk. Crispy tongue! Suji has misplaced her little friend. Urban sprawl.

Keeping those ears warm while battling the elements. Snug as a pug in a rug - or, in this case, the dinosaur hoodie Akemi gifted me. Carpet run! Whenever the weather turns unbearably cold, Suji's second walk shifts to indoors. She scrambles up and dow the hallway, finding easy purchase on the nice warm carpet.…

Winter is coming. Check that. Winter is HERE! Riding in style. And warmth. BIG SNEEZE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7sVdydb8Vg The Snow Pug in its natural element... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp8zgmq3e3s
December 26, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Our girl has been slowing down of late. I'm not sure whether it's the cold, her rickety bones, or just old age, but she doesn't move around as easily as she used to. It also could be the extra weight she's put on. Not much, but enough for me to notice. So my New Year's…
Snow-sniffing season! Feeling festive! Snow dog! Neighbor Coco. BIG SNEEZE!
