We had kept ourselves rather busy since the beginning of the year and without us realizing, our two frens had grown bigger by the day. And you guess it right...one of them continues to grow and has not reach her peak size yet.
Taa--dah...
Bubbly is really no match for Confi now. We dare not let them play together less one get injured beyond cure...hahhaa....
Almost 2 weeks had passed since Bubbly and Confi had their fights/play together. When not together, that doesn't mean no fights...doesn't mean the fun has to stop. The fighting instinct lives on...
The only change is...the target enemy. For instance, Bubbly has chosen the pillow. Oh, poor pillow... No challenge, tis one. It doesn't fight back..
Oh, please give me back my real enemy. I want to fight Confi...
But, wait a second... why am I still as tired as hell? (breathing heavily..)
Alas, Bly gave up fighting and decided to enjoy a good old tennis match.
We skimmed through some pug books and prepared for the worst. Eye disease is a common problem among pugs but we hate the idea that Bubbly is already infected with one at this tender age.
Can’t wait for the night to be over. We called the Urbans Paws tis morning and quickly made an appointment.
Pack our things and off we go.
“Going in a crate…hey, are we going to meet those frens again?” (the pug gathering)
Confi is coming along too as her second vaccination is due today.
Enjoying your ride? Absolutely.
Waiting for their names to be called at the veterinary clinic.
Dr. Dom L. Agas diagnosed that Bubbly has corneal ulcer, an inflammatory condition of the cornea involving loss of its outer layer.
“It’s common for dogs. Topical medications are generally effective in curing the problem. More than 90% chances of healing.” He went on to explain about surgery if no improvement within the next 2 days, but his first reply was what we wanted to hear. Whew! “Yeah…Bly…did you hear that or not…you’ll be alright, darling…”
But strict orders were given by Dr. Dom – no playing together for a while till things get better… ya see, we discovered that both Confi and Bubbly have also been infected with skin problems, apparently due to bacterial infection. They have to be on a 5-day antibiotic course. A tinge of regret…perhaps we should not have allowed them to play together in the first place – was that the cause? Dr. Dom said probably but bacterial infection can be caught anytime anywhere too.…more like a word of consolation to the owners…hmmnnn…
“Ok, no more playing together, both of you. Did you hear that?” They are to be separated at all times, at all costs…
“Why are they doing tis to us? Why? Why? Tell me why?”
When both adults need to work, the dogs suffer. For 9 hours and sometimes more, they are in their loyal spot waiting for the time to pass them by. So they waited...and waited...and waited.
Finally, a familiar noise... Dogs are very good in their hearing...even before we open the front door, they know its us. Yeah, they're home!!
The past few days were pretty wet but how can we resist not to let them out and play together. For tis is the moment they have been waiting for the whole day.
So once the rain has stopped and the sun has long gone to sleep, the play must go on...like any other day. And they will cherish every moment for they know the time is short.
They fight, they bond, they cuddle, they tease... to us, they jus can't get enough of each other.
Yeah...Bubbly and Confi has slowly become great buddies...:)
