On a camping chair

Daddy just bought a camping chair. So I guess when he takes this out, he will leave me for two, three, or four days. Sucks. Just when Doc Askie said I have separation anxiety.

Of ear infection and some fungi attack

I noticed blood on Princess’ right ear Sunday night. I refused to panic because I knew I wouldn’t be able to control it if I start panicking. I decided to just wait until the following day instead of going to the 24-hour vet clinic that charges double.

Come Monday, I brought her to Animal House in SM Bicutan. The vet checked her ears and, well, she had bacterial infection brought about, perhaps, by water trapped inside the ear during bath.

The blood was maybe caused by her scratching and constant shaking of the head.

Kuya Rene, the resident groomer in AH SMB, was so kind to pause what he’s doing (he’s grooming another shih-tzu) to accommodate Princess and clean her ears and clip her nails.

Well, now, Princess has topical and oral meds for her ears, and a new set of soap and shampoo for another fungal infection on her right elbow. All that for two months, but I think I’ll continue with the soap and shampoo tandem even after her elbow heals. That is, if she doesn’t get itchy, which I don’t think so because they are antifungal.

Rainy Night and a Cuddly Dog

This is the first time she looked straight at the DSLR, when she doesn’t have any problem staring at the digicam. She’s quite afraid of the DSLR lens, but I guess not anymore.

Dog magazine July 2012

A very cute and healthy Pomeranian is on the cover of Dog magazine’s July 2012 issue.

Dog lovers will surely get a copy of the mag which boasts of features like Dog Agility, rules to follow when out with your dog, smart toys for dogs, The Lowdown On Your Dog’s Diet, and a lot more.

Dog magazine is available in better magazine stands nationwide.

I wonder if my Princess can get to cover this pub in the future. LoL!

Do you know what your dogs are saying by their actions? Here’s a chart from www.bterrier.com:

How Does A Princess Eat?

Here’s me being hand-fed.

And don’t think my head is being pushed so hard up. I do that myself everytime a food is being put in my mouth.

Reasons why I’m hand-fed:

1. So that I can eat the right amount of food on time – I’m lazy to eat by myself.

2. So that my facial hair won’t get stained – notice how white my mouth area is?

3. Because my human is OC.

By the way, that’s Hill’s Science Diet I’m eating.

Fukushima pets need to be rescued

Pet owners in Fukushima had to leave their homes during last year's nuclear crisis. Sadly, they could bring with them as much, leaving the pets behind.

Animal welfare groups were allowed to enter the area around Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant last December to rescue the pets who had to suffer high radiation, severe lack of food and extreme winter weather.

So far, the United Kennel Club of Japan has rescued 290 cats and 34 dogs from the region. But there are still many of them left out in the cold. Animal footprints were reported to be seen in the snow. These animals are fighting to survive.

Unlike the well-fed pets, starving animals cannot keep themselves warm because they little to no body fat left. They cold would eventually kill them.

Many of the pet owners go back to their radiation tainted home every now and then with hopes that their pets have returned. One man even leaves food for his cat saying, "I just want my cat to be alive."

It has been 10 months since the earthquake that struck Japan has resulted into a tsunami and nuclear meltdown. But we can never blame the government. They had to save the people first, we understand.

This makes me want to hug my dogs. We're very, very lucky we're not in that situation.

My heart goes out to all the dogs and cats left starving in the cold, and to the pet owners whose hearts, I'm sure, are still breaking until now.

May all those pets who have not survived rest in peace, and those that are still alive be immediately rescued.

PS
I'm literally crying while writing this.
