WEDNESDAY 4 FEB: MARKY RECOVERS....

MUMMY: Marky wasnt well after giving blood last evening. Because of the double dose of medication he received (can read about it below re THE BLOOD DONOR blog...), he was very drowsy. He kept his very dry mouth tightly closed. His eyes were glazed and his body was rather rigid. He was restless and he whined a little. We managed to get him to eat his food (his Aunty Lu handfed him) and I gave him some treats which he ate very slowly.

This morning, he refused to eat his food. We tried Addiction's Salmon and Potatoes, bread, bak kwa, microwaved minced pork etc. He ate very little after much persuasion. His eyes were less glazed and he started drinking A LOT of water. He did eat our 'doggy ice cream' ( Frozen slab of microwaved pumpkin, carrots with peanut butter, yogurt etc in crushed/mashed form) though. We decided against taking him for a swim in his state.

Later in the evening. we allowed Clare to visit Marky.

Clare, like Barn2, was only allowed to meet Marky at the back door- with an iron door separating them. This was because Barn2 would pick a fight with Marky and Marky had growled at Clare when she was young (probably because he thought she was Barn2!). Since Clare had been separated from Barn2 during her heat and left (at times) at the inhouse kitchen within view and muzzle touching distance (on the other side of the iron door) from Marky, we have noted that the two seemed to be ok with each other- more or less. So....Marky had an unexpected visit....


Marky was quite curious about her- especially because she wears a panty....

Clare assured him.....

Marky couldnt figure out if he should be upset with her yelling at him and Aunty Lu (for Marky's toy which she has taken a fancy to) or with her swiping of his toy....

After a while, he seemed to be quite comfortable with her around...and he cheered up...

And he enjoyed the hugs from Mummy and his Aunty Lu....


Yes, the big boy is now back to normal. Thank God.....

WEDNESDAY 4 FEB: CORGIS WENT SWIMMING

BARN2: Mummy's on leave today. She and Aunty Lu dragged us to the Petgamart pool again.



There's no end to her craziness...


Me? Aunty Lu and Mummy took turns in catching me for the dips..

(MUMMY: Barn2 loves to poo2 and pee2 in the pool compound/ grass patch areas when he is there...even when there's no more poo or pee to be discharged! We think he has a very clean stomach after each trip....




Barn2's a reluctant but steady swimmer. He did quite a few laps today...)


Clare did a LOT of swimming (and splashing and catching the ball....) At the end of the day....we have this:
haha....)

THE BLOOD DONOR

MARKY: Mummy suddenly got me into her car this afternoon and drove me to Dr Ly's clinic. She said that there's a young girl who really needs blood transfusion. I am to be the blood donor.




This might be my third time but I am nervous. Mummy weighed me. I am 32 kg. Then I saw her.....





Her immune system is quite bad. Check out her rescuer's site:

There seemed to be a slight error - someone gave Dr Ly the 'wake up' shot needle before he was given the 'go to sleep' shot needle. So I had both shots and as Dr Ly said, 'they cancelled out each other'. I was all tensed up....
Then he gave me a tranquiliser....
Kinda like having a double dose of sleep medicine...






Its 8.12pm and Marky is still very sleepy. Dr Ly said that he will be ok in two hours time.
