Guess what Preston was doing?
He was hiding his rawhide!
Preston has several other hiding places at home. Since he will be movng to a new home in a couple of weeks, mommy and daddy think it is okay to reveal his secret hiding places to the world.
What is “reverse sneezing”?
“Reverse sneezing…is a phenomenon observed in dogs, particularly in those with brachycephalic skulls (like pug, boxer, shih-tzu..). Its exact cause is unknown but may be due to nasal, pharyngeal, or sinus irriation (such as an allergy) or the dog’s attempt to remove mucus. It is characterized by rapid and repeated forced inhalation through the nose, accompanied by snorting or gagging sounds. It is alarming to the owner and may be distressing to the dog, but is not known to be harmful to the animal. Most dogs are completely normal before and after episodes. In addition most dogs will have repeat episodes of it during their lives.” (by Wikipedia)
Unfortunately, puggles are prone to reverse sneezing. It doesn’t happen to Preston very often but when it does, it is hard for Mommy and Daddy to watch. Here is what mommy usually does when Preston is having an episode and it seems to help.
1. Cover his nostrils, this makes him swallow. 2. Massage his throat. (and 3. A big kiss!)
Fetching toys by name is Preston’s specialty. He can fetch all of his toys from the toy box continuously, all 45 of them! Although Mommy is very proud of him, cleaning up the toys could be a big headache sometimes.
It is Mother’s day. Preston decided to give Mommy the best Mother’s day gift ever – cleaning up his own toys!
It’s been awhile since Preston visited Mina and Milo the Westies. Milo is Preston’s best poochie friend on the planet!
“Preston, do you wanna go to Milo’s house?”
Best friends forever.
“Did you get stuck, Preston? Want me to help you out?”
Mina wanted to join the boys too
A perfect match!
Mommy and Daddy don’t remember since when Preston likes to rest his head on the table. He can do it on command too.
It is so tough for mommy to leave for work every morning, this is why…
Preston no longer stays in the crate when mommy and daddy are at work, but he still goes into his crate every morning. Mommy leaves the door unlocked and Preston would step out of his crate as soon as mommy leaves.
Preston is fetching the presents mommy and daddy brought back from Australia.
Kangaroo, wombat and Koala. (Koala baby is called a ” joey”, so is a baby kangaroo).
Mommy and Daddy are back from their vacation!
Uncle Allen and Preston picked them up at the airport. Preston was telling Mommy and Daddy how much he misses them in this video.
