Mags and his homecoming

I am excited to announce the homecoming of Mags. As you know Mags got his name from Maggots which aptly suits him as that was the way i found him (with maggots). he is maggot free and doing very well. I will be fetching him to come back and continue his recovery journey at our home (of course away from poppet and wolfie)

His previous owner has not called back to ask for his return even though she has my number. So i will keep him in my custody till he is better to be rehomed. There are people who are interested in taking him in even though he will probably have only one good eye to see through. This touches my heart and makes my sad days seem dimmer and further away.

Having said that - i am still concerned that they might use him for breeding or other evil purposes (EVIL EXISTS IN GREAT QUANTITIES IN THIS WORLD). SO to decrease the possbility of using him as a stud (i know...i know...it's a tiring job but someone's got to do the studding work...BUT it ain't gonna be Magsy Boy!) i have decided to cut his nuts off.

His case is slightly different from that of Poppet's and Wolfie. Why have i not castrated them and will castrate Mags. Well...first off...nobody wants Poppets' or Wolfies' puppies but they will want a purebred like Mags'. So to avoid abuse better to cut nuts off.

Secondly, both Poppets' and Wolfies' testes have descended properly (i.e. they hangin loose as they should) whereas Mags' testes have not descended at all. And in my research - doggies with undescended testes have a higher chance of getting testicular cancer so in this case we will have to remove them to safeguard his health. This does mean that he is probably gonna be in a high risk group for prostate cancer. A animal activist friend of mine is checking out the stats for this likelihood and we have time to decide later on the fate of Magsy's balls. If at all, he will only be sent for this surgery after he recovers from his existing ailments.

Mags will be returning to a hyperactive wolfie (dunno what's up with that dog these days?!?!) and a head shaking poppet (no...he has not taken up head banging as a preference!!! nor is he on E!) Poppet's got this headshaking thang going on. We went to see MrVet who promptly checked him for ear mites (thankfully he had none!!), cleaned out the poor dog's ears with such vigour that reminded me of when i was a toddler and my grandpa used to scrub behind my ears!! In order to do all this - we had to sedate Poppet and he took the longest time comng out of this sedation and when he did manage to groggily walk to the car and afterwards into the house he was like a drunk...Swaying when he was standng still...getting all his four legs tangled and his style of walking was sooooo terbantuk leh!!! (a.k.a. spastic)

Way....going back now to check on my babies and prepare for the arrival of another in a couple of days time. I will be bringing Mags to Port Dickson with me and hubby on Saturday so that we can go visit a possible home for Mags in Malacca later that day. Ciao! See you soon.
