typical day with canine & felines
May 28, 2006Kira dear, I know that since I've dropped the line about this item, you've been waiting for this. I've been planning on posting this event just in time for Mother's day, but I really have so much crammies on a very little space on my head. I think some people call it a brain. Nevertheless, here's the long delayed post….
Late last year, hubby and I bought two tzus, Tuffy and Champy. Tuffy: 2 yr old gold & white female tzu, had two litters already. Champy: 4 yr old, tricolor proven stud. We bought them from a breeder who's migrating to Canada. It was difficult house-breaking them, but we love them oh so much. Especially hubby. He's the designated vet, beautician, daddy and mommy all-around. Earlier the year, he was the one who assisted our cat (pusa-kal hehehe) , petpet to deliver three healthy kittens (Molly (F) whom we gave to my sister, Echo (M) & Charlie (M) who are still with us). Echo had a small health problem - his vet told him to ice his anus to push it back. I don't know where the vet got his education, but that method made it worse. If not for Hubby's sound logic, Echo would have died. Now look at him.
May 12 marked Hubby's 2nd delivery. Okay, he's not pregnant, and I wasn't near to that stage yet. But Tuffy is. Early morning, Tuffy's labor started. I was half-awake and called Hubby's attention. When he got up, I fell asleep again. As it was a working Friday, I woke up some minutes later and found him at the back with Tuffy on a box - one pup already squirming around. Tuffy's a mom again! Of course, that day, Hubby wasn't able to go to work. Nah, he didn't file for a paternity leave (though I suggested that). Tuffy would follow him if he leave her, so he really didn't have much of a choice. When I left for work, there's two pups already. At around 11am, he sent me an SMS telling that it finally stopped. Our tzus are proud of 5 new additions to the herd.
