Everyone in my family knows that whenever there is something soft, flat and for humans use only, it’s a sure thing that Butch will slyly take it away and use it. (ok, I usually cannot resist when Butch wants to take it as long as no one else gets mad :P )

Case point #1: boxes

Case point #2: old pillows (or pillows that i think are old but still usable)

Case point #3: slippers (luckily not mine)

We usually see him squeezing his 60lbs frame into a small chair. And then when he goes down we can see him limping, probably from bad circulation (like when you sleep on one side the whole night and then wake up feeling stiff). Pity that…

I’ve been thinking of getting Butch his own bedding for Christmas. My dad, the do-it-yourself- guru, made a large pillow for the dogs to use but unfortunately it only lasted 3 days. Normal store bought pillows last 1 day with them so I guess that’s an improvement already. I want something huge enough to fit at least 2 pit bulls, sturdy so it can withstand chewing and, most of all, washable to get rid of the funky smell after a few days of usage.

If my dogs could shop (oh no!),  they would bark and whine with these dog bed selections from shopwiki, as there were so many types of beddings to choose from (its like the ikea catalogue version for dogs!).

I love the idea of them having a metal frame bed of their own but my room is too small for that.  If I get a massage bed (how spoiled is that), I think my dad would get jealous and demand one of his own (or he’ll probably take it from the dogs :P )! An orthopedic bed would be suitable for Butch since he’s old and still a bit weak from his hospitalisation a few weeks ago. Waterproof beds would be awesome since they are usually salivating (gross i know but still so cute).

…too…many…choices…

*sigh*

 

75 days till Christmas! October 10, 2008

I love shopping for gifts during holiday season! Bright, sparkly lights on the streets, jolly decorations on the porches, jingle bells on the radio…they make me giddy with excitement.

And every Christmas, I usually have presents for my dogs as well. I don’t wrap it nicely though since they won’t appreciate that. But I still give them the satisfaction of ripping the wrapper apart without me scolding them for the mess. They’re like innocent little kids this way. And exactly like kids, their toys normally last just 1-2 days. They just wouldn’t stop till they finish it! Even if you dangle their leash in front of them (it usually makes them stop whatever they’re doing and dash to the gate), they still would not budge at all.

But Butch is getting older now (9 years old) so I can’t give him chew toys anymore since it will crush his teeth now. Although he still loves it, I feel bad seeing his tooth chip whenever he crunches on one so I stopped giving bones to him quite awhile back. I don’t know what to get him this Christmas! I should start browsing online now so I can get a headstart.
