The houndsinheaven are restless.
Heaven is located in Rainbow Avenue
and Rainbow Ave is presently on d-day
(read: keep off that infected street, mind!)
Keeper calls it "itsy-bitsy" blues.
The vet DrJ calls it the 'danger month'.
Danger month is actually in August.
And August is just around the corner.
August is when all sorts of things
affect hounds like us . . .
My keeper is kindda praning (OC).
She loves to inspect our furs for anything.
Those itchy thingamajig flying and landing
on shiny black and brown furs are a big NO-NO.
Keeper use a double-sided fur brush
which is a guaranteed snooze gadget.
Believe me when I say that the gadget can put to sleep
any unsuspecting, drooling hounds like me. . .
This week, the keeper stood by Heaven's gate
watching the Rainbow scene . . .
Her disapproving look meant trouble.
The last time I saw her look that way
she scolded kids walking home from school
who she caught bullying the dogs across Heaven.
Keeper worries about hounds like us.
She confront owners who allow their hounds
to stray on the streets without a leash.
She called the attention of LGUs
(local government units) about strays
and to improper impounding of strays.
She also nags people about their pets.
She would constantly remind them
to have clean water available AT ALL TIMES
and to feed their pets at least twice a day.
Keeper won't think twice about feeding
other people's pet when she sees them hungry
or when abandoned by their abusive keeper
without food for the day.
Keeper won't let up.
She cites laws.
Watch out!
Well, this week she noticed some dogs with mange.
Keeper is keeping tabs of all the hounds passing by Heaven
and she finds the discovery pretty alarming.
According to my Keeper, mange is an easy thing to cure.
A little expensive but highly curable.
Keeper laments the fact that economy plays a big factor
in the proper maintenance of hounds like us.
The expense of putting pets like us into a program
that can help and cure us is not a priority
for most of the animal keepers these days.
Worse, abusive keepers let loose sick or dying pets
to roam and die on the streets!
For now, my keeper goes to her pyre
lights her incense and calls on the gods
to help cure and protect her beloved creatures.
The incense and her chanting is another
guaranteed snoozer.
I'm off to hit my pillows for some big time snooze.
