My joy short-lived!!

After my trip back from Korea, Leslie, having had Curoii for a fortnight in my absence, offered to care for him. He claimed Curoii would be better off within his larger home and would eventually succeed his aged dogs guarding his house!

Well I thought, why not?? In fact, I was delighted! Curoii had been a nuisance since I brought Crimi and all, home, after I ceased operating the pet shop.

He incessantly yelped every morning when the maid let the smaller dogs out to defecate in the backyard! I was often immensely stressed by the THUNDEROUS barks for fear that my neighbours may lodge a complaint with the council thus risk re homing the rest of the pack!!

He would howl LOUDLY upon hearing each passing ambulance or police car which had the siren on and you can well imagine, with the back of my home almost fronting the main road, how many times he would noise pollute in a day!!

Despite the above scenario, I brought Curoii, much as I dreaded it, home, yesterday without Leslie's knowledge since he is still in Australia until next week! He has got a useless maid whom I would have sent packing home had she been mine!

Curoii was fully infested with ticks. Swollen ticks were all over his head, face and body! We couldn't bear an ant crawling over us while the poor thing had to endure thousands of ticks sucking on to him! His continuous scratching brought about hair loss and crust has since formed on his ears and back of body which will eventually lead to mange if care is not exercised! Gone was the glossy coat while under my wings! It was such a pitiful sight!!....
I weeped as I gave him a tick bath apart from the Frontline administered 3 days ago to ensure no ticks would be passed on to my dogs at home!

Curoii couldn't wait to go home and kept on whining as I proceeded to bathe Leslie's other dogs. He didn't even want to pee when walked around the garden, pressing his body close and with his eyes focussing on me.

Back home, the instant he leaped from the car, he dashed to mark....his territory..this is his HOME!
Surprisingly, he didn't bark when the maid let the tiny tots out this morning and I pray hard such behaviour persists!! Curoii, please don't fail me!
I despise inconsiderate neighbours and surely would not wish to end up being one!!!......
