Jack Drinking From His New Water Bowl

Hi,

I bought this new water bowl for Jack as he drinks a lot and this bowl will allow a 1 litre bottle full with water to sort of replenish the water as he drinks from it.

Neat gadget, see the video below.



The weather is so hot these days so this water bowl is really handy.

I also installed a fan on top of the shoe rack and switch it on in the afternoon to cool Jack and Ruby a bit too.

Ham Bone Treats

Hi,

I bought 2 pieces of half Ham Bone for Jack and Ruby. I used to buy the raw knuckle bones and cooked them myself but I thought I will give this a try.

I found that they dogs seems to have a hard time chewing them and the bones were pretty hard to chew.

As usual, Jack has stronger and bigger teeth so he has lesser problem with it.

I think I will stick to cooking the raw knuckle bones myself.

Ruby & Her New Dog Pen

Hi,

Ruby has gotten used to her dog pen and we have taken her out for more short walks to let her pee.

The morning sun shone into her pen so we use the Jack's big dog house to give her some shade for that hour or so.

We tied Ruby to a tree opposite our house so that we could wash her pen. It was shady and she enjoys it too. We can easily see each other so she did not mind.

Jack's Wounds Recovered

Hi,

It has been almost two weeks since I last updated Jack's wounds progress.





I am glad to say that they are totally healed and the hairs are growing back but to be on the safer side, I still tied Jack up during the day so that he will not rub that part of the body when he goes around his favourite spot at the base of the palm tree.

During the night, I let him go free as he will stay within the car porch area.

If there are flies disturbing his wound area, I may put the singlet on again or kill the flies depending on the situation and the hot weather.

Jack's Wounds Healing Well

Hi,

I am glad to tell you that Jack's wounds are healing well but he is still wearing a singlet to keep the flies away and also to prevent him from scratching his wounds.

He is still tied up during the day only so as to prevent him from going to his favourite spot at the base of the palm tree or moving in-between the potted plants in the garden.

I am planning to take him back to the vet next week for his annual vaccinations and follow-up on his wounds.

Thanks for all your prayers.

New Dog Pen For Ruby

Hi,

To separate Ruby from Jack, I have bought 4 pieces of metallic fence and construct them in such a manner that Ruby now has a bigger dog pen.

I do not want to chain her and besides, she still managed to bit Jack so it is not working.

At least, she has more space and not chained.....and her own private space.

We are saying that she now has her own suite or palace and she seem contented.





We still walk her and let her out to pee 3-4 times a day.

When I brushed her teeth in the afternoon, I would go into her pen and do it and spend some time with her.

I hope I can find her a new home though where she will be the only pet dog and have the whole garden to herself.
