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
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!
The latest addition to her hat collection. Heading out and into the deep freezer. The warming up with a hot beverage. Feeling festive. One of my favorites!
Fall is upon us! Nibbler! Melty sleepy. She's a dog who enjoys a good egg yolk... https://www.instagram.com/p/CVyb3-mFjT9/
Hmph! Hanging in the lobby. Blaaargh! That hopeful look in her eyes. Deni's sushi card checks out. That just-woke-up face. Battle stance!

Waiting for the punchline. A touch of tongue. Nodding off on her favorite spot on the couch. One of my favorites from the vault. Suji has a very discerning palate. Suji eats an egg. Messily.
Wut?!! Suji is NOT impressed. Poised to spring! Won't you join us for a walk? Trying hard not to laugh. Latest haul (c/o of her pal Michael). Limoncello inspection. So far, so good. Pick me up!
Is she looking whiter to you? I feel like, a year from now, we'll be nicknaming her Snow White. In the morning, she wakes up early and barks and barks until we feed her breakfast. Then, she barks and barks until we take her out. Then, she barks and barks for her afternoon walk at…
She's humoring you. Pleated tongue. In the weeds. Plumb tuckered out. That look of disappointment! Due to her weakening left hindquarters, she has a tendency to veer left when she walks, so her new nickname is Tokyo Drift... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAHol7VL32U
