Welcome Home Kilo!

Tuesday, November 01, 2005

Kilo came home Sunday evening, thanks to all for being so concerned. He's alright now, really, it's just that his stupid owner didn't have the time to update her blog about it. :)

I didn't go with my bro and Grace and Anna to fetch it because otherwise there would be no space in the car for the dog to sit properly.

So I decided to sun an old big cushion for it in the meantime while awaiting its arrival. I was smart to NOT go.

There's something about Mount Pleasant Animal hospital that I believe everyone should know about: ..... The waiting time.

In fact, our record waiting time was held by my Dad and Didi. Dad brought Didi there for the yearly innoculation thingy, and they waited a record of Five Frigging Hours.

I decided to fool around with Chubby while waiting for Kilo.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting, Cindy Lim's one and only Teletubby called CHUBBY WUBBY!!!





Chubby Wubby

We waited... waited.. and waited.

Finally the car pulled in. Everyone got out of the car. Except the dog.

After some slight struggling, Kilo finally got off.

The poor boy had lost so much weight.

"Kilo!!!!!" I shouted at it. He merely looked at me without shaking his tail.

I sat down on the floor and patted the big cushion beside me, signaling him to come over.

He did. He walked right past me, bang into the wall right behind me, and then landed onto the cushion, eyes closed and all.

"What the fug! He died!!!???" I shouted in my mind.

Hurriedly crawled to him and realised he was still breathing. Phew. I decided this is a quiet Kilo moment that shouldn't be missed, so immediately captured the moment with.. what else.. but a handphone camera!

What could be more handy than a camera and a handphone two-in-one! I've sang praises about this innovation already!!






You would notice that his chest had been shaved bald prior to surgery. And ignore the yellow markings. Those were home remedies that we had earlier applied on him.

I didn't dare take photos of the wound earlier on because with the maggots and all crawling, seeing it was already making me sick to the pit of my stomach, much less publishing it and letting all of you puke together with me.

But since it is now gone, I think it is rather content-safe to publish photos of the stitched up wound:





The wound isn't very clear in the photo, but that's because I didn't dare to lift up his arms too wide apart to take a clearer picture. He was just operated on a few hours ago, would YOU dare to do anything to even stretch the skin near his chest?

The wound is healing very well right now. We don't really have to bring the dog back to remove the stitches because according to what my bro said, the doctor mentioned the thread would automatically vanish/melt/disappear after some time.

I hope such sh*t things never happen again to Kilo. It's more heartbreaking than visually disgusting to see the wounds and see the poor dog being so upset about it.
