In Memories of….

After discussion, we’ve decided to neuter Kookie for health benefits. It is said that neutered dogs has less risk of testicular cancer and lives a longer life. One benefit that I’ve observed is Kookie no longer marks around the house.

I also had Kookie micro-chipped. However, the nurse made a mistake while typing his name so his sterilization certificate and microchip certificate spelt his name as Kooki. Guess I will have to register him under this spelling.

Kooki (as he is called now) is not supposed to bathe for the next 10 days and is to be prevented from licking his wound for the next 14 days. The vet gave him an e-collar but he refuses to move a single inch with the e-collar on, so I bought him baby shorts and cut a hole for his tail so that he can feel more comfortable when we’re around.

This is Kooki with the shorts on:

We took Kookie to SKC dog show on 4th November. Poor Kookie was given too much tibits the night before and ended up vomiting thrice in the car. He soon forgot his discomfort upon arriving at the dog show when he saw the many dogs around him. We’ve also bought him a pet stroller as his xmas present.

I brought Kookie back to hougang on Tuesday as Jackie had guard duty on that day. As Whitey (as what my sis’s Japanese spitz was known as) doesn’t seem to like Kookie, he was made to stay in my room for the night. I intended to let him sleep on the floor as what he has always done at home.

I discovered Kookie sleeping beside me in the morning. Either I was too tired or he had purposely took great care not to disturb me as I actually did not notice him jumping up onto my bed in the middle of the night.

I tried to wake him up but in vain. I guess he was really too tired. I’ll be sending Kookie for neutering on 10th November as well as micro-chipping.

Meeni and Mickee has settled down in their new home. All the best to them.
