Elderly pug has tracheal stenosis and is horking mightily until we pin him down and get cough syrup into him, whereupon we can get a few hours of sleep. If you know of a better way to give a dog cough syrup I’m all ears. Pugs should not be bred, I adopted him from being a stray, but it has to be said they have wonderful personalities. I feel we are in the downswing of his life, but we’ve had ten very great years with him so at least we know we did a good job.

Other mixed breed is the delight of my heart, no health concerns at all, and delightfully funny.
