Just God, Darling & Me

My darling,

What more can mummy do for you?
What have I not done?
Where have I not done enough?
You are perfect in every sense, except...if only...
How I wish you get the best in every aspect.

Why do others put in minimum effort & gain more than what they deserve?
Whereas, I have put in so much effort, but my gain does not match my effort,
Life is never fair, this I know & it really sucks big time!  

Dear God,

Please look favorably upon my darling.
Please grant her what I have asked of you.
Please give her what she needs.
And...Please keep her safe, happy and healthy, always.
God, Please.

Silver Sol for Her Ear

On Saturday morning, I noticed Rossi gal's left inner ear red and swollen. I think it could be her scratching her ear that caused this.

Immediately, I soaked a cotton wool with Silver Sol and gently pressed it against the affected area. I also cleaned the area with the Sol.

I repeated this soaking, pressing & cleaning several times for the rest of the Saturday, as well as on Sunday. And this morning, I saw improvements to her ear. :)


As shown in the After pic, the red and swollen area has subsided.

I will continue her on the Sol for another few days, just to ensure the area heals properly. Not as frequent as I did over the weekend, probably just 2-3 times a day.

I'm glad I kept a bottle of Silver Sol readily available. Never know when I would need it for my darling. :)

An Unexpected Visitor

On Friday night, we had an unexpected visitor at our place. Daddy was the one who first discovered the presence of this unusual 'guest'. He fixed his stare on our bedroom window, pointed at it and asked, "What is that up there?"


I looked towards the window and saw a silhouette against the pane. We continued watching it with curiosity and wonder. Then all of a sudden, the silhouette moved and slowly spread out a set of wings.

Upon seeing the wings, Daddy's immediate reaction was, "It's a Bat!!"

It's weird, but the first thing that came to my mind was, "Batman". Then images of my favorite Batman movie, 'Batman Forever' began unfolding in my mind. Following the remincense of the movie, I was reminded of dracula movies and bats' documentaries. It's so weird. @@

All this while, Rossi gal was blissfully unperturbed. She was lying comfortably on the bed by our side, relaxing. It was only when Daddy walked over to the window to take a closer look & a quick snap shot of the bat that Rossi gal's atttention was drawn to the presence of Mr Bat.

Well, I dunno for sure if the bat is a male or female, but the influence of the batman movie automatically led me to think of it as a male.

On a sidenote, Daddy thought Mr Bat looked quite well-fed. On a closer look, I do agree with him. Mr Bat appeared to have a bulging tummy, like he just had a feast. 

It had rained earlier. The weather was cool & wet, so I gathered Mr Bat was looking for a shelter to take a break and decided to do so at our place.

It was our first time having Mr Bat visit at our place after 5 years of living here. Interesting experience, but still, I'm not looking forward to Mr Bat's future vists. 

Batman aside, I couldn't help associating bats with draculas. I also think they look scary and unfriendly.

So Mr Bat, please find elsewhere to nest yourself next time. Give our place a miss. Thank you.

Brushing my Darling

Brushing my darling's furs is a daily routine. To me, it is akin to brushing my teeth everyday. It is an essential activity in her time-table.

I believe that other than diet, supplements and grooming products, the regular brushing of furs also helps to contribute to a nice & healthy coat.

The act of brushing might seem like a simple process, but it does brings about a number of benefits, which include; prevents entangles & matts, removes dead skin cells, loose furs & dirt, stimulates & distributes the skin's natural oils, controls shedding, enables the pawrent to discover skin conditions like hot spots & lumps and also, promotes bonding between the pawrent & furkid.

Brush for brushing her furs & Comb for combing her ear fringe
I enjoy brushing my darling and she enjoys being brushed too. She would lie her body relaxingly on my lap as I brush her. I like the feeling of having her warm little body spread across my lap. It warms my heart. This is our exclusive time together, where we quietly enjoy each other's company. It is a mutually satisfying experience for us both.

I do encourage pawrents, who have not been brushing their furkids, to pick up that brush and start brushing.
