ar-eye!

Bubba---the light of my life, the song in my heart, the joy of my soul, yada yada--- that bubba. She gave me quite a fright early morning yesterday. What happened was, she got into a fight with our friendly neighborhood askal. Correction, she picked a fight with our friendly neighborhood askal.

Once more, the fact that she's a small dog slipped my spunky baby's mind. This isnt the first time she got involved in a fight. The last big brawl happened oh about four or five years ago. She had to get her ears sutured as a result of that one.

This time, she took on Sanchai (the askal) who's three times her size. Sanchai's only fault was to sniff near where she was sniffing. Very territorial this half-poodle, half-terrier mutt of mine you see. And very feisty too. I've noticed that she's gotten more ornery with age. Case in point, the other day I took her with me to the drugstore and she unceremoniously growled at the attendant who made the mistake of petting her. Suplada!

Back to the smackdown between B and Sanchai. It happened so fast that it gave me no chance to stop it from taking place. All I could do was push Sanchai away with my leg. After the fight died down, I immediately examined B. God, I almost lost it when I saw her right eye bleeding a bit. No not the eyeball per se, but the pink skin that holds the eyeball in place.

Since it was still quite early, I had to wait a couple of hours before I could take B to the vet. By then, I was fretting with worry inside. Her eyeball has gotten slightly engorged/inflamed you see. And the white part of her eyeball has turned red.

You can imagine my relief when her vet (the same one who sutured her ear years back) assured me she'll be fine. All that's needed is for me to apply anti-infective ointment on her affected eye thrice daily.

B was lethargic the whole day yesterday. That's to be expected says her vet because of the pain. Poor baby. Doc also told me it'll take around ten days for the wound to heal. I hate to see her suffering but there's not much I can do but wait. The next fortnight will be a long one for me.

Still, despite everything, I'm thankful that luck was smiling down on my B. I don't know what I'll do had her eyeball been punctured. Thank God, that's not the case.

Sabi nila, ang fortune plant daw, kapag namulaklak ay suwerte.
Namulaklak ang fortune plant namin!



Tamang-tama--bagong taon, bagong suwerte.

Pero kanino ba mapupunta ang suwerte?
Sa nagpatanim, sa nagtanim, o sa may-ari ng lupang kinatatamnan?
