Cute one, Milt. Our dog has begun doing "reverse sneezing" which indicates allergies. I am worried because he is also making choking and other weird noises as well. I'm going to give him Benadryl for a while and see if it improves him. Otherwise, I am worried about the weird sounds he makes. Vet said reverse sneezing is not dangerous but the other sounds are SO weird.

Thanks for your note, Andrea. Is he a pug? They do a lot of sniffing, snuffing, sneezing, and snorting...now there's a poem for you, Andrea. Hope you're having a wonderful week.

Milt, pugs are a delightful breed - lots of personality! So fun to see one highlighted even if this isn't your pug.

We have had four Wheaten terriers - all of them show dogs. Paddy was one of the top six or eight Wheatens in the country. The world of dog shows is an interesting experience. We trained Paddy and Ted for the show ring but our breeders and professional handlers showed them.

Thanks, Sam. I had a friend many years ago who raised pugs, and he loved them. He was one of the top pug breeders in the country. He did shows with them, too.
