The DMS monster strikes!

The DMS (during menstrual syndrome) monster in me has surfaced yet again! Drama unfolds once again at the dover residence...

Pebbles has been maddening ever since she's got home from the clinic! The animal clinic, that is. She has a slight fever, a ear infection, and a skin rash. Such a difficult baby. -.-

So anyway, she was given medication. 2 kinds of liquid to squeeze into her ear, kinda like ear drops, another liquid to wipe her rashes plus a cream to sooth the itch, and the worst kind of medicine to give a dog, antibiotic tablets.

*tuning in the "Madness in the Koh Household"*

Reporting live from the Koh Household.

It is time for the dog's medication. The mother grabs the dog by its hindlegs and flips her upside down, like roti prata. Loisa tries to squeeze the antiseptic ear droplets into the dogs ears. Unsuccessful. Ear drops are everywhere BUT the dog's ears. Pebbles escapes and runs under the dining table to hide. Mother follows, and the scene depicted is of a lady crawling in between chairs and around the table to catch a slime ball of a dog who's trying to escape "torture". Meanwhile, i am trying to open the packet of cotton buds so i can swap her ears, but the packet's is a little too tight. Suddenly, mother knocks against a chair, the chair toples over, and knocks down the fan. The fan falls on me, and the shock causes me to tear the packet open, and cotton buds are raining down on us. The dog goes mad, trying to eat the cotton buds, while loisa and the mother are scrambling from the pelting buds.

So the dog is now chewing on 5 to 10 cotton buds, all sticking out of her mouth. The mother holds the dog down, while i squeeze the liquid into her ears. Now, it's the tricky part. I have to use more buds to swap the ear wax out of Pebble's ears. WHOA MAYDAY! Flying growling snapping dog on the loose!! Pebbles evidently hates things being stuffed into her ears, so well... imagine a dog with buds sticking out of her mouth, and a few more out of her ears. Definitely not attractive.

Half an hour later, one ear is done, another half hour later, the other is done as well! It's medication time. Easy, right? Since the dog eats anything and everything! WRONG. DEAD WRONG. Pebbles ate the pill, and spit it straight out. EWWW??! I pry open her mouth, and the pill comes shooting out like a bullet, OOOWWW!. It smacked me in the eye. It's worse than feeding a baby medication! Argh! In the end, i had to open the pill, pour the powder out and entice her with durian. YES DURIAN.

Arghh... maddening day...
