HEAT…

June 22nd, 2006

The terrible heat is in the streetâ! Thirty degrees in shadow. I can’t take such temperature. But when I see, how it is difficult for my dogs, it becomes even worse to me. Dogs have lost any interest to day time walk. In the street they try to keep in the shadow all time. They refuse to walk. They agree to the long walks only on 6-7am or 10-11pm o’clock. They suffer equally: boxers, with their short muzzle and short-haired mastiffs, with their long enough muzzles. Our neighbor, the black terrier, simply pines with heat. An assurance of cynologists, that the rigid volumetric wool of terriers rescues dogs from heat, in practice are not true. It is hard to look at sheep-dog Dezi. She tries to kip form very much. But she looks as the thawn ice-cream. And I start strongly worries.

Comment of kira: if in the afternoon quickly-quickly to run in a shadow, to solve all questions. And then quickly-quickly to return to the house and to fall a stomach to a cold floor still it is possible to struggle with this heat. If heat becomes the greater, we shall demand from mum of cold milk as indemnification.

RED MIRACLE

May 24th, 2006

Six years ago in our house French mastiff has appeared. Once phone has called and our friends have asked to rescue the puppy that eats nothing. It was examined by the doctor and he has found at puppy no illness. But the puppy eats nothing. In the age of two months the puppy of French mastiff weighed 2,7kg. This weight is considered low even for the monthly puppy of this breed. The puppy did not grow, did not develop and did not die. Nobody understood, what happened with it. We doubted for a long time, but eventually have agreed to try to correct position. Our friends should bring the puppy next day. To tell you the truth, we fairly worried expecting this puppy. We have not experience of the decision of such problems too. But there was nothing to lose and we have decided to try. We have fallen in love in her at once as soon as have seen. She has come not in our home. She has come in our hearts. We have named her Lada in honor of east Slavs goddess of love. Goddess Lada was considered as the promother of a life. Gods help was obviously necessary for us. We could make nothing some days. We simply helplessly observed of the baby. Most of all Lada liked to sleep on a palm of a hand. And Lada was not necessary for it more place. She held on a palm of the adult person. It was hard for her to go. Her head was too heavy for her body. Only eyes shined a life on her charming muzzle. We were close to despair. Lada seldom agreed to eat a small slice of cheese. She did not want anything more is. We tried to tempt her with meal. We fed of other dogs at her presence. Lada did not pay attention. Made other dogs elicit a meal. It did not make any impression on Lada. Put Lada on a lunch table and offered her delicacies during a dinner. Lada fell asleep among plates. I have decided to give her to drink a tincture of medicine plant (Artemisia) for fear and despair. I have made her drink fifteen drops of tincture. It was very hard to look at the puppy during this moment. She badly felt herself and tested awful bitterness in a mouth. And we did not allow her to drink. Lada was in desperate position. She has begun to eat dairy porridge. With huge effort, without any desire, but she began to eat. In the evening after five drops of tincture she already knew how to rescue herself - by meal. And Lada began to eat next day. Simply to eat. We were very helped by the following diet: a crude beef, a boiled rice and eggs of a small hens (coturnix). This mix has made a miracle. Lada has strongly changed in a week. It was a fountain of a life, the ordinary puppy who wanted to be simultaneously in several places. That she could learn more, and try, and eat. We had to watch, that Lada did not elicit a meal at adult dogs. Our adult dogs will always share meal with the puppy. And Lada used it with the great pleasure. We have understood, that Lada is our dog. When a month later there have arrived former owners, we have agreed, that Lada will live with us. So in our house began on one dog more. And our hearts began more for one more life.

Comments of Kira: it is necessary to remember: a crude beef, a boiled rice and eggs! And I shall demand it!!!
