Hound Health

Getting dogs spayed… wait, what is that? I had no clue what that meant but after my father explained me the process, I was horrified. How can people do such a thing? I argued and pleaded to my parents to not do this to Pepper, it was a very long surgery and I didn’t want anything to happen to Pepper. At first, I was very confident about my words until I heard that if we get Pepper mated instead of getting her spayed, there is a 50% chance that Pepper could die while giving birth. I immediately changed my mind and agreed to getting her spayed because it would be a better and safer choice for Pepper. Afterall, after she gets spayed, she can’t get pregnant, she will be less aggressive, it will benefit her health and it will give her less desire to run away from home. The plan was we will take her for a blood test then the next day she will get the procedure done. The vet had warned us that she will vomit, not consume food or water for a few days, gain weight and feel very sleepy after the surgery. Post the operation, Pepper had to wear an E-cone and many bandages on the wound. We had to take Pepper for checkups every 3 days. It generally takes 4 weeks for your dog to completely heal but fortunately Pepper was healing much faster than other dogs and healed in 2 weeks! Usually after getting your dog spayed, your dog becomes more mature and calmer however Pepper still has her childish nature and she has become way more excited.

Pepper is back to her cute, naughty self and had returned to her standard life.

Doggy Desires

How can you not want a dog looking at puppy dog eyes because the first time I laid my eyes on a dog, I knew a dog would be my one and only. But the thing is, I was young, I was just 8. I had no idea what to do. Besides, my mom already had my 3-year-old sister to handle and my dad had to go for work. It was completely hopeless. But a few years later when I was 10, I realised how can I assume that my parents won’t allow me to get a dog if I haven’t even asked them. But sadly, when I asked my mom, she gave me a displeased look and immediately said no. I didn’t lose hope, I asked my father and he said YES! However, he said I had to convince my mom or we can’t get it. I had almost given up on my dream until me and my dad decided to get it secretly that way once the dog is in the house, my mom can’t do anything. Then, I discussed with my dad and decided to get a small dog which will be fit for an apartment. We decided to get a  Black French bulldog and are going to name her…..Pepper.

Pepper… Pepper…Pepper… What about salt? Yes, I was very hesitant to get the dog at first but the more I thought about it, I became more excited. But was this the right choice? I mean, there’s no going back now we’ve got the bed, the food, the toys, the leash, the pee-pads and have even confirmed with the dog breeder. We set everything up in my father’s office room so that my mom wouldn’t find out. The dog breeder told us that Pepper was a very sophisticated female dog, she was a pure-bred show dog. That evening, my father told my mom he was going to the market but that was just an excuse to go get Pepper from the dog breeder. I had school the next day so it was my bedtime but just when I was falling asleep, my father was back! I walked in and couldn’t help but squeal, She is the most adorable thing I’ve seen in my whole life. However, the next morning pepper was just too curious and walked straight into the kitchen, eye to eye with my mother. My mom was NOT happy she refuse

She ran… she ran... she didn’t stop… Until she met a little something called stairs. Pepper looked back after seeing the stairs, I couldn’t figure out whether she was scared or wanted me to come with her whatever it was, she gave me those same enchanting eyes from the very first day. After that, I started taking Pepper on daily walks and she really enjoyed it. But the only problem was that Pepper’s breed gets tired very fast and she pants like mad which makes her look like a scary hound but  I still see her as the cute, naughty little puppy!  She also loved playing with toys, she takes her toy chews it, throws it then fetches it and chews it again, it was the cutest sight ever!  Usually all my friends complain that “My dog chewed my shoes!”, “My dog ate my homework…”, “My dog scratched up my wall!” but Pepper never did anything like this which made me proud of my dog and I would brag a lot about it! Pepper absolutely despised vehicles and cleaning equipment but we handled her. However,
