Happy Birthday too YOU

Happy Birthday too My sweet and beautiful dog
APCHI

Apchi is 2 years old today.
My husband found her on the street on April 2006, so we don't know the exact date of her birthday. she was a sweet little puppy, and she was hungry and she gave him the look, so he picked her up gave her food and water and the rest is history.
We new she is about 3 month old so I decided that January 1st is the best date for her birthday.

We are celebrating the birthday with extra candy and the favorite food "Bamaba"(peanut snack)
I usually buy a new toy too, but my dogs have so many toys already and I bought them a new toy last week, so no new toy today, I'll give her the one I bought last week

Happy Birthday to Apchi and all of you how are celebrating

and

Happy New Year

It's rainnig

It is raining outside, and the ritual begins, my sweet dog is collecting all the rain in his far.
I have two dogs "Hetzi" a male and "Apchi" a female, they both very hairy, but only Hetzi is a water collector, Apchi can collect all the rain, but she is leaving it outside, but Hetzi NO!, So we have a cleaning ritual, since the dogs are living with us inside the house we have to clean them and dry them, otherwise, they'll wet the all house.

Now, Look at him, he is all wet, like a door mat and he looks like a porcupine all the short hairs sticking up, and he looks so miserable, and then here comes the towel and he hates it, the towel is his worth enemy, why? because its job is to clean him up, I thunk he rather be wet and cold and dirty then dry, worm and clean, but, we developed a tactic.

The best way to grab his attention is with sausage, my husband is holding the sausage high in the air, and nothing else matters. All he cares about now is how to get this sausage inside his mouth and swallow it.

This is my time to start working with the towel, dry him from head to tows (but really from his head to his tows).

After the war is over and I wan, the first thing he dose is to go to the kitchen and see if there are any other leftovers on the kitchen counter, and after the big disappointment, he is going to the sofa to cuddle with Apchi near the heat.

This our cue to stop bothering him and let sleep, quietly all day long.

Poor dog, has such a "hard" life

My baby is sick

My sweet little dog is sick, last week we visited the vet and he gave him a treatment for flees. the usual treatment we give him every other month, the problem was that the dog started scratching, and scratching, and on Saturday we noticed that his whole body was red and he injured himself from scratching all the time.

So, the first thing I did is to put the collar on his head to stop him from biting himself, but it didn't help he kept scratching with his legs, so we put socks on his legs, but my dog is smart, he took the socks off, so I tried pants, well you can realize that he is very smart and he took them off too, you can't imagine how happy he was after he too the pants off.

In the evening his condition got worse, his had fever, and just lay there with no mood, and we took him to the vet.

before we went to the vet I read his all file again, I keep a record of everything, and I noticed a pattern, every time the dog got flee treatment, he started to scratch, the difference was that this time is was bad, very bad, and I mentioned that to the vet, and read the dog's file too, and agreed with me:

My sweet dog had a very bad allergic reaction to the treatment.

We took a very good care of him, he got a shot and antibiotics, and his fever is fine, and he is happy again :)

and when my dog is happy I am happy

This experience was very frightening for me, but it's over and that's the most important thing.
