Caveat to all Water Dogs: an Aki Update


Hello there puppies!

We are sorry to worry our friends with the lack of update in the past week. I am a little well now. We went to the vet last Monday PM to have a skin test, to which the results for mange turned out negative. A week before we also had a CBC done and the vet had also ruled out ehrlichiosis. The vet told me that I had some bacterial infection, which may have been developed from sleeping in moist areas.

As some of you may know, I sleep inside the room of my human brother whenever anyone is at home. But during times when he fails to close the doors, I make my way towards the nearest bathroom and sleep. My love for water often brings me to the laundry area or the bathroom, where there is a generous supply of water. .

During times when access to these places are unavailable, I simply topple over my water dish and lie on the puddle of water… i rest my voluminous tummy, arch my back and stretch. ahhhhhhh…. Refreshing.

In the midst of my reverie, the lady vet told me that I should, from now on, refrain from sleeping in moist areas because it is often where a lot of mean bacteria breed and thrive in. I should also make sure that I am toweled really dry after every bath. Drat.

What’s more, manang came back from Manila yesterday with a ‘box big enough to put Poopie in’ from the Animal Doctor’s clinic. She had been away since Tuesday and I am REALLY hoping to receive some goodies from her. I wagged my tail excitedly… I yelped and hopped.

“Goodies for me, manang?” I barked, drool oozing in exhilaration.

I rummaged through the box. My eyes widened. Oh no, you couldn’t…

(what’s in the box? Stay tuned tomorrow.)

drooly kisses,

Aki

Hi Aki boy,
Glad that it is nothing serious!! Hey, stay out of moist/ wet areas ok.. you don't want to make us and your manang worried!
Actually Hershey and I like to sleep in cool places (ummm not necessarily wet though).. I think it's cos our weather is too hot/ humid. Mostly we end up lying on the marble tiles where they are usually cooler.
Quick open up the box! I bet there are loads of goodies inside!

Hi, Aki!
Glad to hear from you again.
I hope you get better soon! I like to sleep on the floor of the shower after my mom takes a bath! But I don't do it very often.
I won't be able to sleep until you tell us what is in the box!!!
Take care
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza

Hi Aki! I'm glad to get an update and hear you're okay. I used to love to run through the sprinkler, but then I got an ear infection and the vet said it was probably from getting water in my ears. How can anything that's so much fun be bad for us? And I wonder what's in the box?

See ya,
Joey

Whew! So glad to hear it was nothing serious, Aki!

Although I have to say - I just can't understand why you would want to lie in wet places...yuck! I hate even getting my paws wet!! :-)
