Botak girl

My heart ache just escalated. I brought my darling doggie to the groomers just now.

She was whimpering and screaming in pain when they got out the ticks on her, the old 'monkey' way (picking the ticks off using a tweezers). I really could not bear to see or hear it so I left to de-tick my room and house.

My parents and aunt has previously helped in de-ticking her usual places she sleep and hang out by cleaning with trusty 'Dettol' and spray with the tick removal dog spray I got from the pet store. I threw everything away, including her favorite toys since the groomers said that the ticks might have infested her sleep area.

Her whole face, including the corners of her eye was like red, sore and bleeding. I nearly cried looking at her. She had to have all her fur shaven till she was 'botak'. It's not like she looks ugly or anything. It's just that it hurts me to see her like that because of me. : (

In fact my parents like her 'botak', claiming she looks cuter and looks like a small little lamb. I have been instructing everyone not to tease her for her shaven fur in fear that she might not feed because she thinks she looks ugly. So the whole of tonight, I have been saying she looks pretty since she is kinda vain and look at herself in the mirror when I'm taking out my clothes from the wardrobe.

I just hope the tick infestation is gone or I will take drastic measures which will inconvenience everyone. My drastic measures would mean getting the Pest control people in to fume the whole house, which will cost me but save my pretty, little darling.

Meanwhile, I will keep a watch out for them disguisting bugs and of course keep my 'little princess' away from them.
