A Dopey Rug


Dopey Rug

Dopey is getting bigger real quick. I used to be able to carry him nicely with the palm of my hand - whenever I need to to wash him after he has done his businesses. But now, I can barely do that anymore. However, he still as playful as ever. I guess, this is part and parcel of what makes up the characteristics of a Shih Tzu - a lively and alert toy dog.

Managed to capture this photo when he was so tired after running around the house... when he is dead-tired, you can almost do anything to him and he will not even notice it or even care...

Last weekend, we discovered that the poor fellow had some infection in the ear, so we took him to the vet to have it checked. It is pretty easy to know when your dog has an infection in the ear - you can tell by the smell that is coming out of the ear... you can find more by visiting this petdoctors.com. Anyway, the vet had to clean it with some solution while Dopey barked with pain, cause dogs do not like their ears to be tampered with - we felt for him. Well, it's for his own good. The vet also gave us the some solution to clean the ears regularly... and we had to go through the whole process of pinning him down and cleaning his ears...

"bark! bark! bark!"

Gosh!!!

Learned that this is quite a common infection amongst dogs with closed ear canals, so we will have to get used to cleaning his ears... more importantly, he has to get used to having his ears cleaned occasionally.

boon out...
