today's tasks- accomplished

today, i had 2 tasks.
first one- bring beanie to the vet.
second- go to a dentist.

so the first task started at 9a.m. on a bright morning. we got everyone together- mom, dad and uncle...all checked and ready to go. the muzzle was already in place and we set off. not one less. muahahaha...like going one some super big mission.

when we arrived, the vet was having his bath, so we waited for a while and i went to get my newspaper.
inside this tiny office, was where the actions took place. sorry, no photo or video during the process, my hands and energy were needed. beanie was carried onto a table and everyone got into their positions. dad took hold of the hind legs. mom and i the front legs. uncle kam the neck and head. the vet, well he had to clean his infected ears using alcohol swab, putting ear-drops, performing 2 injections- one deworming and one anti-parasite.
phew...the dog only whined or kicked up a fuss when his ears were swabbed especially the infected one...poor doggiiee.....what to do...have to clean the pus. eww.... mom's arm was scratched when she accidentally let go of one leg. poooor mom too. we paid rm20 for the injections. cheap huh? i wonder how much they charge in those special vet clinics in kl.

doctor's instructions- go and buy antiseptic spray for his ears. but the question is, are we going to hold him down everytime we want to spray him?? so in the end, we din buy the spray. mom went to the pharmacy and asked, it costs more than rm40.
i guess next time no more hosing while bathing him. that might be how water got into his ear. how are we going to clean his ears??


ok....mission two started at 10a.m. we headed to dental clinic in menara manulife. this is the only dental clinic which uses the bicon implant system that uncle wants. i have made more than 20 calls yesterday and only this one gave me a positive answer.
so after much prodding and aaawwwwing and poking, they could do it for him...but wait....what is the price??? man....a whopping rm21k. tooth implants are no cheap deal i tell you. he needed 4 implants and 6 teeth. so he told them he was going to think about the price and call them later if he decided to do it. we said goodbye at 12 and reached home by 1.
now uncle is making call to his friend in australia to make an appointment with the dentist in shanghai. he will most prob go back to shanghai because it is like half the price quoted here. so now my task is complete. there is nothing else i can help.
ooohh....perhaps...bringing him for a meal at kfc. haha...actually he wanted to stop at kfc sg buloh rest area, but he only told me after we had passed on the way back. dun worry...will do it this week.

so that is my day. sigh....what am i going to do this evening and night?? read for the test tomorrow? i have no faith in their marking. so will only read so that i myself know more answers. whether i pass or not, depends whether i am lucky or not lah.
