♥ Surgery
I took leave yesterday to bring Butter to the vet for surgery. He's getting neutered since we're getting another female dog. Good lord I had to wake up sooo freaking early to fit to the appointment time!
In fact, I had to climb out of bed much earlier than normal when I need to go to work. T___T FML
What to do? I researched on the clinics and so far the one that is freaking far has the best review. I had a scare when I realised the vet that we used to bring Butter to is known for killing animals (I might be exaggerating) due to medication negligence! I told my mum and she calmly said "Oh you didn't know?"
WTFFFFFF. Than why didn't you say anything?!
Anyway $180 bucks (heart bleeding) later, Butter is now home recovering. That bugger despite obviously suffering from the effects of the sedation and is not yet able to move properly, simply refuse to stay put and insist on walking around the house. I swear I was on the verge of heart attack every time he leaves his 'pillow' and wander around the house.
Now he have a blood patch near his incision. ): It's not bleeding as in dripping blood but you can see that there was some bleeding behind the skin. I was freaking out and erm cried a little bit but I think he should be fine. WHAT. Heart pain what! T___T I checked it again today and it didn't get worse phew.
He even scratched his ear using his hind legs. -_____________-
Yes, he looks like it doesn't hurt. AT ALL. Hello, someone just made a 2 inch incision near your genitals and while at it, took out your balls and sew it back (Ehem, a bit too much details. My bad). NOT PAIN ONE MEH?! -___________-"
But then, at least he looks active and seems okay. I'm just so worried that he'll run around or jump about and pull on his wound or whatever. I'm just praying very very hard he'll recover well with no problems.
On to happy things, I think I might be bringing Pudding home this Saturday! (: I can't wait to see her and how my two flurry darlings get along! :D :D

♥ PUDDING
I have good and bad news to share.
The bad news is... I gave the two little furballs back to my cousin. ): And now I'm trying to sell off some of their accessories and food. Which reminds me, I could put them up here uh! heh heh
Anyway, the good news is... I AM GETTING ANOTHER PUPPY!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
It's also a shih tzu and it's a little 2 months old baby girl. SHE IS SO ADORABLE!!! As you may (or may not) know, I have a 3 year old shih tzu at home named Butter. He was getting stinky and his fur is a bit tangled so we decided to bring him for grooming. The kennel that does the grooming also sells puppies and despite coming here so many times and looking at so many beautiful dogs, we have never seen one that made us go "Aww, I really want to bring it home."
But there she was, sitting in her cage staring at us, she's beautiful. For the first time, even my mum was won over. In fact, she was the one who asked if the puppy can be let out for us to take a closer look. As if the puppy understood, it immediately stood up and sat at the cage opening as if waiting for the seller to come get it.
I played with it and it was friendly and she actually reminded us of Butter! She does this paw smacking thing that Butter likes to do and when I play with it, it rolls on it back exactly like Butter will! We were seriously considering buying her but she's a bit pricey. We are also a bit hesitant because she is a girl and it would mean babies when she becomes an adult (since we have Butter at home). There was another male shih tzu puppy as well but when we tried to carry it, it struggled and tried to get away. And when I play with it, the feeling is just not the same. In the end, our heart is still with that baby girl puppy.
After discussing for a few minutes, we decided to lay down the deposit and she's coming home with us in a week or two! (: We couldn't bring her home yet because she just had a jab and she still have one more to go and microchip-ing to be done.
AND I HAVE DECIDED TO NAME HER....
In the meantime, I have decided to get Butter neutered. I was worried because I had heard horror stories about how the dogs behaviour changes after neutering and whats not but after researching, the pros outweigh the cons and I realise some of my perception of neutering are actually myths. -______-"
In fact, I've made an appointment with Dr Ling at Namly Animal Clinic after reading the great reviews online. Butter is getting neutered on the 12th. I'm getting him neutered before the pup arrive because I want to let him have ample time to rest and recover without the pup bugging him/ him bugging the pup too much. -____-"
BUT. Recently I realise his erm.. testicles area are a bit red and flaky and he keeps licking them. So I'm getting him to the vet tonight to check it out because I don't want to waste my trip down to Namly and be told that he can't have surgery that day and need to reschedule.
(Don't ask me why am I looking at his testicles. ...shit. You're thinking about it now, isn't it?)
Fine. It's just that after grooming, he's bald like an old man and his testicle is like cherry red. You can't ignore that can you? I've ignore it until recently when I decided to neuter him, I was reminded of it and when I checked yesterday, it wasn't so red anymore but there is still some redness and its flaky. Which got me confused because I don't know if I should be worried or not.
so in the end... I googled "what does normal dog testicle looks like". I know. FML.
I was brought to animal porn sites. FML x 2 -_________________-
This is because I started to doubt myself lah! I mean who the heck will keep tabs on their dog's testicles?! He could have neon red testicle all his life for all I know but I only really notice recently mah! I don't want to pay 80 bucks to the vet to have him tell me "Mdm, that's what dogs testcles look like."
>______________________<
pffft. But in the end, I'm still bringing him to the vet lah. Better safe than sorry. Okay, I have been rambling. BYE.
